Oxide Primer And Chipped Zimmerit! Jagdpanther 314 (Meng 1/35)

[@christophervanmeier1648]

Love the Zimmerit. It brings the tank to life.

[@KJ-kn8pg]

Watching this while cleaning the seamlines of the wheels of my Jagdpanzer, atleast i won't be bored and will surely pick up some big brain techniques, cheers Uncle!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Removing seam lines is one of the most boring, yet most important fundamental techniques! You're making me proud! :D

[@Panzermeister36]

I bet the sponge chipping feels great after the 70+ hours of brush chipping the Fehrmann Tiger :)

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

The whole Tiger chipping endeavor was a really tough misadventure, now it's become "just another day at the office" kind of deal :D

[@jacobrichards8359]

Don't bring that up, Evan. Martin will slip back into cold sweats and fever dreams again!

[@FredWilbury]

I thoroughly enjoyed this Martin , haven’t popped in for awhile so I’m ready and inspired to get on with my railway modelling, maybe one day I’ll do a tank of some sort for my layout regards Fred 😎👌

Welcome back!!

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

Railway models are the perfect weathering subjects! Welcome back! :)

[@shanetropman9804]

I never knew that they were Zimmerit'ed straight over the primer. You learn something new every day! Great vid!

[@wellardme]

The master is back! Pen and paper ready along with my dreams of being able to reach such quality!! Who agrees that the master's English is AMAZING??!!! Better teacher than all modellers I've come across and English isn't even the first language!!! Modeller and linguist!!

Great job! The zimmerit chipping and remains looks striking against the oxide primer. I am excited to see the rest of the weathering!

[@jamesredmond6699]

Well I'm very impressed with your techniques I am 61 years old and I've been building models since I was 10 I've always used enamels and oil paints for weathering and washes love you videos keep up the good work you're becoming in my opinion a master modeler

[@Algebrodadio]

Martin - you make armor modelling look easy. But it's really not. You're a true master of this craft.

[@jargobordine7254]

Is it stupid to say I will never, at my budget, build a model but I watch every week because it brings me internal peace? Love your content.

[@VilkaModels]

The colour contrast between the chipped Zimmerit and steel is so evident, and I love it. The thing looks super gnarly!

[@nickdunning6004]

I absolutely love your videos and I’m not even an armour modeller, I mostly do aircraft but I’ve learned so many great techniques from watching you. I’m fact I think I want to try a tank for the first time for my next project. It’ll probably be rubbish but it’ll be fun! Thanks for the inspiration and keep doing what you’re doing!

[@glizzymcguire4849]

The US currently uses what's called Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) which was painted over the old paint jobs. The CARC coat is textured, the non-CARC paint wasn't textured. They started painting everything a few decades ago so a lot of the older vehicles have started chipping and you can see the old, dull paint. This series have given me inspiration to attempt a similar project with a more modern US vehicle.

[@84erElessar]

I am a simple man- I hear "ma friendz" I like

[@KayserEin]

just when i think I've mastered a technique, you pull me back in for yet another intensive technique! Fantastic video. Gonna go build a model now...

[@bruceismay5440]

I finished its king tiger and it looks great, to the point that my modelling dad of 30 years said I did better then he ever could, I’ve been doing this for 2 years

[@harlech2]

MA FRA-ENDS!!! I look forward to that every Friday!!!! Glad you are still healing up, mate!!!

[@jacksonmosqueda8898]

Theres something about the red primer with the pale adhesives around the edges of the damaged zimmerit that makes it feel more like a wounded beast. Really cool effect

[@stephenbridges2791]

Very nice and realistic zimmerit. I used to have a piece of real zimmerit my dad brought back (among other things). But, sadly it has been lost to the sands of time.

[@zimbabwevae4609]

You know it’s a Good Friday when you can watch a night shift video

[@jamiesworkshop3198]

Amazing work!!! It is quite interesting to watch your Jagdpather videos and the Aussie Tank Museum Jagdpanther videos. There has never been a better time for this hobby!! Looking forward to the winter months and more time for modeling.

[@timothyoffenbacher6190]

The always omnipresent Adam's Vol.2 - can't go wrong.

[@ryanbruner8928]

Making,and painting Zimmerit is an art form all to itself.

[@tonyharwood8408]

Since watching your videos - I have found myself using The Speckling effect/technique more and more. So thank you for introducing it to me.

[@daniellejones5981]

I built the Ming Panther A Early recently and found a color pic from Wiking Div. in 1944 on Flickr. While not perfect, the color was still there! Your Zimmerit chipping is spot on, except the Zimmerit is Dark Yellow! Almost the same as Dunkle Gelb but slightly more orange, Slightly, tiny bit... I too expected a Lt. Gray but Ochre Pigment and saw dust will do that!

[@jonathanmichaelsmith9012]

I only saw the WIP display pic and thought, "holy crap, that looks sexy". Keep up the good work.

[@davelamperski4723]

I think this is your best model so far, honestly. Looks amazing

[@xRepoUKx]

I'm at the paint stage of a Panzer III M and a Panzer IV H and I think I'll be using this series as my painting guide. When I first started in this hobby you'd only need three colours for a Panzer, dunkelgelb for the tank, black for the tracks and silver for the MG! Well done (again!) Martin and I'm looking forward to the next episode!

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

I shall devote my life to becoming a sponge wizard All jokes aside, it looks outstanding!

[@wyattlandry9579]

I really like red primer on the bent fender. It looks fantastic!

[@wookieelicious9569]

[@localpanzer2775]

Your techniques never fail to impress.

[@barrylucas8679]

You have an incredible technique and an eye for color

[@coenvancamp1976]

YOSH! MY FRIDAY FIX! Edit: Hey Uncle, is there any chance you could talk a bit more about your airbrush setup? I know you are using a Harder & Steinbeck Evolution, but what about your compressor? I'm researching what to buy myself and what else to look out for.

[@shotekczech7604]

Instead of a compressor, consider using a compressed gas cylinder (eg CO2) with a pressure reducing valve. It's absolutely quiet and the flow from the gun doesn't pulsate at all. Personally, I have been using a 7kg bottle for this purpose for a long time, because I live in an apartment and I usually get to spray by night, when everyone is sleeping 😉. So absolute satisfaction for me and I can highly recommend. The only disadvantage is that the rest of the filling is not easily estimated, it is only according to the weight of the bottle. Otherwise it has no mistake ... 😊

[@coenvancamp1976]

​@@shotekczech7604 Hey Shotek, Thanks for the reply, I have seen others use this method but isn't refilling the canister quite expensive? Having quickly looked at the prices it seems almost the same price as a compressor and this doesn't need refilling.

[@shotekczech7604]

Bottles are usually used in beverage machines and a 7kg filling in the Czech Republic costs about 12 - 15 €. This amount lasts for many hours of operation at normal airbrush pressure, which is IMO quite reasonable. There are even smaller bottles available...

[@ClonesDream]

@@shotekczech7604 That seems extremely dangerous to have sitting in your house or garage

[@shotekczech7604]

Of course, many things could happen during our lives and the decision is always up to each individual who must consider the acceptable amount of risk. In any case, AFAIK identical CO2 cylinders are commonly placed, for example, in restaurants under postmix beverage vending machines, which mix soft drinks of well-known brands from concentrate. The CO2 fire extinguisher is the same, except that it emits liquid CO2 from the bottom due to the different type of valve. E.g. air cylinders for divers have the contents of the cylinder also compressed into a liquid state ... Each such cylinder must be inspected regularly and passed a pressure test. On the contrary, the aibrush compressor should ideally also have a tank so that the outlet pressure does not pulsate. Of course, there is significantly less pressure inside the tank, but neither revision nor pressure testing is usually done there. Due to the condensation of air humidity, the air tank corrodes from the inside over time, the wall thins and IMO it is also not completely without risk. So, it is always up to everyone to consider the pros and cons and choose what suits them best.

[@cliffherring7006]

Looked for a new video first thing this morning and nothing.... and thought 'oh no'. Glad this popped up in the notifications. Awesome as usual

[@timothyhines7845]

Always learn something usable. I might rarely use the techniques as I normally paint "battle ready" table top models, but every once in a while one of my gamers askes for some bling on a particular vehicle/ individual as they basically defied the dice.

[@dylanmcdowall5434]

When using a sponge for chipping I’d recommend that you try twisting the sponge around so you don’t make the same pattern of chips all over the model.

Guys, the red oxide paint is the RAL 8012 reference that the Germans used as an anti-rust paint. For the vallejo colors, it is the reference 70.814 Burnt Cadmium Red and for the prince august, it is the reference Rouge cad. Brulé 814

[@jerryvolpini7987]

I'm not sure about the color for the chipped zimmerit but interested to see how it turns out. Great work, really enjoy seeing your 'process' and hearing your rationale for how you do things! Always something to learn with your videos, can't wait for the next episode 👍

On one of your models you should make it have been a tank that was knocked out but engineers fixed it so there are remains of the blast or blasts that knocked the tank out

hi uncle - when you next take a break between series, would you consider doing a video about 3d printing and 3d modelling for printing?

With your love of chipping, and texture.. i almost feel like u need a tank that has schurzen.. maybe a panzer 4 g, or h..

Could you possible release a list of paints you use for different camos. Would be really helpful.

[@geroschorch1365]

no it wouldn't. use your own head, make your own experiences and find what works for YOU. that's what the hobby is about.

[@NightShiftScaleModels]

I was never good at making lists, but if you're looking for something specific, you can always refer to a video where I'm painting this or that type of camouflage. I can highly advise experimenting on your own, too, that's the best way to develop your own style and get a better understanding of all the different paints! :)

[@provocase]

Excellent video as always! I have a question about the decals you used. Are they supposed to represent a field paint job too? They look like the templates to paint the numbers and balkenkreuzen were put on in a sloppy way... the black inner parts of said numbers and balkenkreuzen are a bit off centre compared to the white outer lines. Made me wonder wheher they're just 'misprinted' decals or thye're supposed to look this way to represent a sloppy paint job in the field.
