[@paulalderson6920]

One of the best demonstrations ever. Love the before/after effect with the glass.

[@ghostdein1]

OMG! That trick you did at the end to show the before and after was just the cherry on top. Bravo!!!

[@SergioSolo]

I'm glad you like it! It's the good old green/blue screen effect

[@remybouwer5509]

The dog actually looked like he knows what was coming :) Great vid btw!

[@SergioSolo]

Thank you, Remy! Vainilla has a lot of patience :D

[@modelnut]

Not only am I amazed at your skills as a modeller, but also with your totally Unique fantastic brilliant videos, just lost for words. Can't wait for the next one.

[@SergioSolo]

You're very kind, Mark! Sometimes I feel that my videos are a bit too complicated and time consuming to produce, but reading the comments makes me think it's worth the effort. Thank you very much for following my work :)

[@legendaryleon6270]

the strumtiger looks cute to me!

[@Internet_Polizei]

fantastic paintjob. I learned so much !

[@chepa1767]

Yeah, i never thought about the dog hair one and camp with the clay thing

[@chepa1767]

the details and the way side Armour on the tank is bent and worn out is amazing

[@JensAndree]

You actually found something useful to do with dog hair?! Excellent!!! If anyone needs some I can bag it in large bags and send you. Could be a great business opportunity considering how much my dogs are moulting... ;) Once again a fantastic build Sergio and I'm amazed how detailed you are - even with 1/48 scale models! You are one of the top modellers for sure :)

[@SergioSolo]

Sometimes it's fun to find new materials around the house. It sparks your creativity! Thank you for your kind comment :)

[@peterkkpoon6546]

Awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Tus videos no son solo muy instructivos, sino también muy entretenidos y divertidos! (Aparte de muy bien producidos y logrados!)

[@SergioSolo]

¡Muchas gracias, Juan! Los ago como me gustaría encontrarlos cuando quiero aprender algo nuevo, aunque a veces me complico demasiado :D Pero bueno, ahí voy puliendo el formato poco a poco

[@johnburdis5484]

Great paint job on the Stug1v & the 1/48 Sturmtiger. Mask you used I've heard about,but have seen used. Thanks Sergio.

[@SergioSolo]

Thank you, John :)

[@MikeStar2000]

Dog is like WTF. 😀 Amazing result!!!

[@justodebenito]

Saludos desde Fuengirola (Malaga) Recientemente he conocido tus vídeos ,soy modelista desde pequeño y tus tutoriales son muy instructivo ,me encantan los productos de mig Jiménez desde que los conocí y si saco algo claro es que nos hace más fácil obtener resultados estupendos ,muchas gracias y continua con esos vídeos. Me gustan los temas de ciencia ficción pero tus técnicas son exportable a estos vehículos también .

[@SergioSolo]

Me alegra que mis videos sean de ayuda. A mi también me gusta mucho la ciencia ficción, especialmente el mundo de Maschinen Krieger. En mi canal tengo algunos videos sobre el tema, pero ya son algo antiguos. ¡Saludos dede Bucaramanga, Colombia!

[@Frenkythefish93]

Really great looking tank !

[@SergioSolo]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it

[@127TROOP]

WOW! outstanding! Looking to choose a kit for my Amusing Hobby 16t Strabokran...think I have just found it! My new favourite armour modeller (alongside Martin Kovack aka ‘Nightshift’)....lovely work, lovey skills 🤙👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@luisfernandoruiz1368]

Felicitaciones. Vi varios videos de este tipo, pero sin dudas el mas ilustrativo. Muy muy bueno!¡!

[@Tigrillo]

Obra maestra como siempre...que bién trabaja el producto de desconchado, definitivamente ocupo comprarlo...genial la producción del video... Saludos

[@SergioSolo]

¡Muchas gracias, amigo! Es un excelente producto, pero te recomiendo hacer pruebas de antemano, tanto para verificar la cantidad que debes aplicar como el tiempo de efectividad. ¡Saludos!

[@alexanderebert4646]

Really nice Video 🙂 i love your Sturmtiger. Now, i have to build one of these... Greetings from Germany

[@SergioSolo]

Thank you very much! It's a really nice kit, but I made some improvements to make it look even better (Here's the video, in case you haven't seen it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJqyXoOJdpZ9fac). Greetings from Colombia!

[@ArmourEmpire]

Excellent work. Thanks for sharing

[@SergioSolo]

Thank you. I'm glad you like it

[@jordynlynde8183]

I'm planning on building the RFM Sturmtiger, so I'll probably use these tips and tricks on it :D

[@lambbosbread123]

how did it go ? i have the same kit

[@Teedo_]

You mister deserve way more subs

[@tonygaeta]

Pro-work , thank for this!!! Lol your dog :)

[@juan.manue.l7095]

Se apr3den muchas cosas cosas y aplicando la logica te sacan de mas de un apuro Gracias sergio te mereces cada aoprtacion que se te haga , gran sentido de humor ynseriedad maxima en ka elaboracion . Tb decir sobre el modelo, TAMIYA siempre sera Tamiya pero estos amigos de MINIART_MODELs no se lomhacen nada mal, bravo!!! por ellos y tu elecion al respecto , un nivelazo de "ingenieria modular", que te permite pasar un muy buen tiempo de montage y una complejidad certera que te hace superarte en esta aficion ... Espero decidas hacer una replaca del TANKE DE SAIPAN UN ABRAZO MAESTRO Un carajo para MIG Y CIA

[@johnpagden9601]

Great video and painting and weathering, you said you had a new headset ,who was the maker ?, my dog is the wrong colour so i must go to the dog park and show some affection to the right coloured dog ha ha.

[@RaduB.]

¡Hola Sergio! You're getting better and better. Mig Jimenez invests well 😎. Nice to meet Vanilla again! By the way, "venom" really seems to be a good stuff. I bought a box too. Looking forward to mimick a camouflage like yours! You make it look so easy 🙂. Thanks for sharing! Until your next project I wish you all the best!

[@SergioSolo]

¡Hola, Radu! Thank you very much. I feel fortunate to have AMMO's support. They are one of the reasons my work is getting better and their products are so convenient! See you next time, and thanks again for following my work :)

[@waynehumber8906]

I'm very impressed! Very nice work! But I got a black lab!?

[@xXXx-du4qe]

Noch ein deutscher Fan 🙂 Grüße aus Augsburg

"so klein ist die welt" :) schöne grüße aus nürnberg ;)

[@TonyLyad]

Watch your videos over and over again. Can you remember paint/thinner ratio and pressure? Can't reach that level of smooth with ammo, but like colors and no smell.

[@kpblckolol]

Nice work! BTW you also can make diorama base from dog poop.

[@SergioSolo]

Thanks! Sky's the limit, but I'd rather not :P

[@lachlanmax]

Amazing work as always

[@SergioSolo]

Thank you!

[@Neontrifle]

I'm surprised the CA didn't have the mig logo;)

[@earlcousins6635]

SUPER! You ever done a scratch build one in 1/35th?

[@fatcatthe3601]

great work love ur vid

[@SergioSolo]

Thanks for watching :)

[@AtlisWerks]

Those fibers... :D I'd recommend coconut fibers, but this was fun at least. :P

[@SergioSolo]

Oh! Coconut fibers! I didn't consider them, but it sounds like a good idea too 👍

[@SteveSmith-wk9dx]

Yup, I have a 'cordyline' plant in my garden that has long spearlike leaves that dry out very tough. I can take a 12" long piece and rub it between my hands and break it into dozens of long, fine fibres. I just tease them out and cut to whatever length suits the scale. You get a lot of natural variation too, from straw-yellow to mid-browns.

[@outdoors_review]

That dog tho 😂

[@hectorsandoval7332]

Increíble trabajo Sergio..! Me gusta mucho como enseñas los pasos a seguir, sobre todo a la hora de pintar. Aún no pintó mi Sherman E8 y la verdad nunca he pintado 😓, soy nuevo en este Hobby pero, con tus enseñanzas creo que podré hacerlo. Solo falta comprar todo ese mundo de pinturas y utensilios... pronto. Gracias por compartir tus técnicas! Cuando realizarás el video de tu Sherman??

[@SergioSolo]

¡Muchas gracias, Héctor! Mucha suerte con tus compras. Te cuento que tengo planeado terminar unos 4 o 5 proyectos antes de llegar al Sherman. Eso me da tiempo de buscar los accesorios que necesito conseguir (o hacer) para convertirlo en el de FURY. ¡Saludos!

[@sebaguffanti9952]

Hermoso Felicitaciones !!!

[@SergioSolo]

¡Gracias!

[@joaquinarevalillo1172]

Espectacular, la elección de colores, pigmentos etc etc La masilla para el camuflaje....... es re utilizable??????????

[@SergioSolo]

¡Gracias, Joaquín! La masilla es totalmente reutilizable. Cuando termines de pintar sólo debes mezclarla hasta que quede negra de nuevo, ¡Y listo!

[@666heiland666]

Wow. I really admire the thoughts and effort you put in your models and videos. Who would have thaught of dog hair as a dry grass subsitute? And it works! And really happy to see my favourite effect of yours, the before/after-Trick. :-) I am always looking forward to new videos of you, Sergio!

[@SergioSolo]

Thank you, Dennis! I was a bit hesitant at first, but the color was just right, so I had to give it a try! I'm glad you like the before/after effect. It makes sense when I make two separated videos (one for the building process and another one for the painting/weathering)

[@briancochrane1054]

WORLD WAR Blob look like the Germans are having a bad time haha. Great video man Thank you.

[@BaidakAV]

ОЧЕНЬ и ОЧЕНЬ хорошо!!!!

[@SergioSolo]

Спасибо!

[@EMTBonsai]

Haha poor dog it'll be like a bald puddle next with all the hair you nick lol! Try the horemse hair rope or paint brush for wallpaper

[@maximilianobenitez5843]

Realmente usaste el pelo de Vainilla????

[@gonzalo-macias5279]

En el tiempo q tu pintas dos modelos yo monto parte de un tiger 😯

[@SergioSolo]

No hay necesidad de apresurarse. Aprovecha cada momento libre y avanza a tu ritmo. Como he dicho algunas veces, ¡no olvides pasarla bien! :)

[@paulcardenasvasquez152]

muy bien

[@SergioSolo]

+XR Stanly Gracias :)

[@Espingify]

Vainilla me hiso darte un like

[@SergioSolo]

Y ella te lo agradece :)

[@jopahe69]

Gran trabajo, Sergio, me gusta mucho tu estilo y lo facil que lo explicas. Tus proyectos son muy originales. ¿La imprimación la diluyes?¿Que proporción?¿Cuanto tiempo dejas secar la pintura antes de empezar ha desconchar? Gracias por tus respuestas y saludos desde Barcelona.

[@SergioSolo]

Muchas gracias, Josep :) La imprimación viene lista para aplicar con el aerógrafo. La pintura se puede desconchar casi inmediatamente después de aplicada, ya que siendo acrílica se seca muy rápido. Además de esto, el líquido para desconchones pierde su efectividad luego de unas pocas horas, así que es mejor desconchar la pintura lo antes posible. Saludos desde Bucaramanga, Colombia :)

[@timothyedward6147]

Btw so the germans used red brown for both the primer and some of the camo? Cause I saw alot of camo using red brown

[@brettbricker1810]

Excellent video! What varnish did you use in this one?

[@itssteve4396]

Great Video, very well explained! i was wondering what kind of Brush did you use to apply the overall washing without getting streaks? was it a hard bristle brush?

[@spor07]

Hello Sergio Solo, perfect work! I like your videos! I have some question's. What pressure in PSI/BAR you using on the compressor/airbrush for painting AMMO/AK acrylics, varnish and primer's? Thank you!

[@aristotles-lantern]

I know it's a sponsored video, but for you personally would you pick the specialist chipping fluid over hairspray, pros and cons of both? keep up the videos either way, they're great to watch

[@SergioSolo]

Thanks. About the chipping fluid (at least in my case): Pros: - More realistic looking chips - Once it's fully dry you can work the next layer of paint without worrying about chipping the previous one. Cons: - It evaporates much faster, so you have less time to work once applied (but still plenty of time) - More expensive

[@maurobortolin8681]

Hi, excellent work. Wish I had your ability. Question: after applying paint (Rotbraun and RAL 7028), do you wait to dry out before using water to activate the scratches effect applied before the paint? Thanks.

[@SergioSolo]

Thanks. Yes, you can start the chipping process once the paint on top is dry to the touch (a couple of minutes is enough)

[@topomanist]

Excelente, Sergio!! Un consejo, que esquema de camuflaje quedaría bien para un tiger I con color amarillo oscuro, verde olivo y khaki de tamiya, ahora solo cuento con esos 😞

[@SergioSolo]

¡Muchas gracias, Eduardo! Es tu modelo, así que eres libre de pintarlo como gustes :) Que no te detenga la escasez de pinturas 👍

[@topomanist]

Sergio Solo no hay de que! Tienes razón, espero que me resulte algo bueno, gracias de nuevo!

[@holidayshobby2700]

Dog: Gosh damn!...

[@alibi3999]

What happened to you ? We have not seen more video from you for a long time?!!!

[@johnburdis5484]

Beautiful camouflage job on the 1/48 Sturmtiger. Can you reuse the masking putty?

[@SergioSolo]

Thank you. Yes, the camo putty is totally reusable. You just have to mix it until it's black again and you're good to go

[@hex1c]

What stages do you do everything? Do you varnish at all? Would appriciate to know!

[@SergioSolo]

What you see is what I did ;)

[@hex1c]

I dont see any Varnish :s How do you keep the paint from being removed when using washes, thinner etc? If i paint my model and weather the model i will soon see the primer if not varnish first :s

[@SergioSolo]

It depends on the products you use. I also try not to rub the surface too hard

[@AntonioGarcia-kp3df]

Magnífico modelo. ¿Cuanto tiempo te ha llevado hacerlo?

[@SergioSolo]

¡Muchas gracias, Antonio! La verdad no me atrevo a calcular el tiempo invertido en mis proyectos, pero normalmente es más de lo presupuestado 😅

[@shadowman8883]

do you have any 1/35 scale templates for a tiger.

[@SergioSolo]

Sorry, I don't

[@shadowman8883]

@@SergioSolo Thank you.
