[@therocktm2001]

Dude! This had got to be one of the nicest looking tanks I’ve seen on KZbin! I’m so painting mine tonight when I get home. Keep it up love your work and your tutorial are great

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers you are very kind. Makes it worth while doing despite some negative comments you get. Take a look at my latest Tiger paint job.🐅🐯🐯

[@richardgasson7283]

Great camera work. Especially with the panel lining and rust effects. Excellent

Glad u liked it, everything is done on an iPhone including editing. Cheers

Love the ultra real texuring effects, which can be utilised too any theatre of war. Inspired.

Excellently finished. Also, it's very nice tutorial. It's very easy to understand what you wan to do by step by step painting and presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Was a bit of an experiment but turned out the way I wanted. Thanks for watching.

I’ve just started the model game, I’ve got one of these kits waiting to be built! I’ll be using your painting approach here mate! Really well done! 👍

@@blackfisktackle cheers, I was happy with result. If you at my videos since you can see how I have tried to improve things. The 2 Tigers models went well though

[@ThatMofoDamon]

What a fantastic finish on this Tiger. Excellent job done on the painting and weathering procedure. Simple steps and easy to follow. Looking forward for your next build. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Thanks as always for the support. Yes not sure what to start next. May do an aircraft for a change although I fancy another armour project. Keep safe.

A really terrific video and finished model. Thanks for sharing!

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers, I hope it has given you some ideas. Cheers

[@donlunn792]

Brilliant model. Love it. But from my point of view,I worked at Bovington Workshop. The Tanks were Base overhauled. And they used to leave the Workshop just like they came off of the production line. So I have to say my preference is for the pristine look. But! Great vid,and it’s what the builder wants to achieve. Great Vid. Lovely Model.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Thanks, its fun to weather the model, I agree with your thoughts, with allied and modern tanks I tend to not weather as extreme as Eastern Front. Thx for watching hope u like my video efforts

[@DavidLong-w6g]

Just bought the tank going to use your ideas , Awesome job you did, I’m a newb but enjoying the hobby thanks

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers thx for watching, it stands out in my cabinet still compared to the others.

[@liamgray9805]

Fantastic outcome. I’ve just brought the same kit as one of my starter 5/6 kits, id be delighted if i can get to anywhere near this effort - amazing great work

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

I’m just an average modeller really, the skill element is in using the airbrush and thinned paint the right way, and taking your time. Hope it goes ok.🙂

[@liamgray9805]

@@ctscalemodellinguk gosh you’re too modest :), I’ve been seriously thinking about investing in an airbrush system, but I want to get some level of skill with brushes first.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

@@liamgray9805 I converted about 2 years ago from brushes. It takes you modelling to another level with pre shading and better modulation. I only buy cheap airbrushes anyway, the same as nightshift .Just takes practice but worth it in the end.

[@liamgray9805]

@@ctscalemodellinguk cheers any rough recommendations for starting airbrushing?

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

@@liamgray9805 hi, I just brought cheap and stuck with it, my airbrush is a Fengda FE130, 0.2 to 0.5 needles, although other Chinese companies do the same. Need a cleaning kit and a compressor with an air tank, mines 3 litres ( good/bad?) the highest pressure I generally use is 30 psi. You can get kits with everything in on Amazon. I brought a compressor with no tank at first but its difficult to control the pressure. Hope this helps

[@danialzzzzza]

Hi can I know, what coat you use before hair spray? and do you flat coat at the end?

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Think it may be tresemme, i do use ak chipping fluid too. Cheers for watching

[@kiowafourty964]

I’m a huge fan of models, but man is it nice having one you can drive around with a controller. I highly recommend getting like a Henglong RC tank and then painting/ weathering it like this. It is so much nicer than having it just sit on a shelf when you can actually pick it up, drive it around, and shoot Airsoft BBs from it.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Thanks not done anything at that scale. Dont rule it out in future

[@Svemirsky]

Amazing job on that monster. I can only hope that I will be able to do something similar one day :)

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

[@eligebrown8998]

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers hope my efforts help

[@OsamaBenFartin]

Top notch work! I’m in the paint stage on the same kit right now. Would you recommend a varnish coat on the tracks after painting them before weathering? I’ve had issues with paint flaking off rubber tracks when the weathering liquids are applied. Cheers!

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Hi, depends on the paint you used, I use mainly Tamiya acrylics, so on tracks I would just weather them. On the main body I would protect the paint and decals as its harder to rectify if it goes wrong. Just building another Tiger at the moment. Hope this helps

[@darioscomicschule1111]

Thank you!

[@persluchtboy]

Hoi love the weathering on your tiger and the way you explain how you do all things, we learn so much from each other. My question is, I love your workstation with that turn tabel I call it, where woudt I be able to get one for myself.. thanks Michiel from the Netherlands

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Hi, cheers for watching. I do the channel to share what works for me and get decent result without the fuss. The table is just a basic one, ikea type of desk, the paint racks are scrap wood. The turn table thing was from a model show, don’t think there much £€ and are useful. Tamiya do one too which is like a cake stand. Take a look at the other Tiger I video I did too. Thanks again keep safe.

Cheers mate, it work out well and wasn’t too bad to achieve. Just doing the Zvezda PzIV G. Doing it in 3 colour camo, same method as I used on my Phantom aircraft build video ( see if it works). Hope your Tiger goes goes ok, think I’ll do another one in 2022. Merry Xmas.

[@godfather369]

Love the weathering, I just finished building the same tank and will try to go for the same look. I have one question, you use varnish at two stages in your process, what kind of varnishes are you using, gloss or matt?

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Hi I tend to use tamiya gloss xf22 I believe then at the end a matt coat. You can use tamiya although I use AK a lot now. I tend to change things as I get more experience. This help?

[@godfather369]

​@@ctscalemodellinguk yes thank you very much, I was thinking gloss then matt at the end too.

[@johnojohnson177]

Looks fantastic, you’ve inspired me to have a go..one question, was the clear coat you applied Gloss or Matt ? sorry for daft question I’m a complete newby 👍🏻

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

@@johnojohnson177 hi thx for watching, I’m still learning too, I like to show how we can get good results. To protect paint work i would use a gloss coat if applying washes etc or matt if i want to use pigments. Matt is a rougher finish hence pigments stick better however washes dont flow better. I use Tamiya for gloss and ak for matt generally. I have used future aswell which is floor polish, put i find it takes a bit to dry. Hope this helps.

[@johnojohnson177]

@@ctscalemodellinguk thanks for reply, on this particular model, at the end of the build and paint do you put a Matt finish over it or leave it as is ? sorry for daft question again, I’m just trying to avoid silly mistakes

[@finnhanscomb3257]

wow this tiger looks so good! do you think it would be possible to replicate the hairspray chipping technique somewhat with brush painting? or would that simply not be possible? this one of my favourite model tiger tanks ive seen thank you so much for posting this video :)

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

Cheers your very kind. For chipping it needs to be a light coat, so it depends on that really. You could try applying an oil wash with a similar colour to the base colour then sponge chip with thinners for an effect. If you look at my latest video the Centurion I do something similar with dust. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJOmmaWGqN53jqs

[@letsgobrandon.]

why do these so-called "Tutorials" always go way over the top ? tanks aren't on the battlefield for 30 years, more like 30 days.

[@ctscalemodellinguk]

To some degree I feel the same, however I do believe different war theatres and periods of time give us differing wear and tear. It makes the build more interesting too.
