Painting Rubicon T-34/85 (Group Build)

[@blackfrancis4926]

Superb work young man! I am going to copy your methods when I paint my T34 85 this weekend.

[@ethan5354]

Man, you make it look so easy! Great method, great result mate!

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Looks great Herbert. I’m doing this model but German captured.

[@davidszkipala9550]

nice tutorial. Just finished mine T34 kind of following it with what I have. Got to a result I am very satisfied with. I mainly do warhammer stuff and it is superinteresting to see this hobby from completely different side. You use different paints and tools and techniques than I am used to seeing. Very nice.

[@ModelsEverywhere]

Superb job. The weathering looks great.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+ModelsEverywhere Thanks!

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Great job Herbert!!!!!!

[@LeSadW666]

OMG I wish I had watched this video before starting my tank projects! My tanks look OK but they look too clean and new! I was not confident enough to do the weathering effects but after watching this it doesn't seem too difficult!

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It really isn't that hard, though like anything the more practice you have the better you'll be able to do. If you're not feeling super confident about it I'd suggest getting a cheap kit from airfix or the like, painting it up and trying weathering on that before you do it to models you care about. That way you can strip it back and not worry about ruining your nice, newly painted tank.

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Great video HE. As always. Love your style of presentation.

[@delkinthemagicaltree]

Well, after buying the Rubicon T-34/85 after seeing your review on the kit... I now need the AK interactive weathering stuff. Damnit.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Fraggloid Haha. There's always something more to pick up.

[@delkinthemagicaltree]

I ended up finishing my Warlord ISU-122 using this video as a guide, I'm really happy with it! At least, until I spilled nail polish remover on the gun mantlet...

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Great working of the transfers with drips, weathering and stuff. Im copying that idea! 😊😁

[@StaticModel]

Very nice model :) I liked it more before flat coat :)

[@Lo-tf6qt]

Love this tank a lot

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

I know it's a year+ later, but still, this was a good vid and I like the result you achieved. Well done. Al

[@Mavd-mk9iq]

Holy moly that is Nice!

[@Emtbtoday]

I'm just learning the weathering myself and got my first airbrush iv got my t34 in primer just now just to try the air brush out I'm ok with it maybe helped being a body repair specialist when younger aswell lol I'm way to put the PE on the t34 I got and the bed spring ammo scratch built from mesh PE I'm away to put some buff on my Iray British Husky just now, I'm just trying to figure out the black and white under coat to get some highlights instead of going back over the edges I'll try both ways though and see the results

[@Duececoupe]

Beautiful work mate! 👍👌👏

[@veko7099]

Looks nice, great video!

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Cooper Hamlin Cheers!

[@teamkeogh]

Amazing! Holy moley!

[@Pluto-cf1vq]

wooooow...nice painting,i have 18 tabk models and only 2 painted,but not too good :)

[@balkiryt876]

Well done ;) it's a great job !!

[@thatone5.338]

Herbert I am trying to make the fury I said we should do a few weeks ago except I couldn't find and e8 from plastic soldier company so I am using a Sherman firefly anyways it looks nice keep on the good work!

[@thatone5.338]

The only three things about it is the tank itself and I don't have any extra pouches and extra things to put on it and I don't have any paints.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+cameron wolfe PSC don't make an E8? I thought they did. Fireflies don't quite look the same, but they're still cool. If you're feeling crafty you could probably make some pouches and stowage from green stuff.

[@thatone5.338]

+Herbert Erpaderp I'm not an a good modeller I don't know if psc makes one its just when I looked they didn't have any. Where can u get green stuff?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+cameron wolfe Nah, I quickly looked at their site. Doesn't seem they do. That seems odd. Maybe one day they'll make one. I think the main visual difference between regular shermans and the E8 would be the road wheels. I usually get green stuff on ebay, seems cheapest there. It is also known as kneadatite.

[@thatone5.338]

+Herbert Erpaderp oh ok I'll look on eBay and all those things. Have a great day and keep up the good work.

[@Rodrigo-Digao]

I bought this kit today and it will probably arrive in 1 or 2 months. My first tank model kit! Are these colors indicated in the manual? Or they are just better for you, by experience?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I can't remember if or which colours are shown in the instructions. I usually just choose something that I think will look good.

[@Neves1789]

Nice job! I've recently started using AK and MiG enamels myself and they're awesome. The effects you can achieve are amazing compared to the old GW way of using just an edge highlight. Good vid as always!

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Neves1789 Thanks! They really are nice.

[@72secondprize]

Great job.

[@Airwolf515]

Sorry I couldnt understand what material you used to hold the turret and hull to the shot glass. Please let me know and where to get it. Thanks

[@HerbertErpaderp]

It is Blu-Tack, which also goes by poster putty in some parts of the world. You can get it in the super market or I guess anywhere that sells stationery supplies.

[@Luftangreifer]

Great job! I guess this is slightly smaller than 1/48?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Luftangreifer Yup. 1/56 scale.

[@Luftangreifer]

Id love to play HnG with him ^^

[@RubensParker-Smithers]

Could you brush the Kursk earth thinner mix and still have the same results?(im new to models)

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I'm sure you could. It might be a little harder to make it look the way you want it to.

[@johnchavez3753]

how do you to turn off the shine around the decals?

[@CorpoPsycho]

Applying a wash onto the decal completely dulls down the reflectiveness of the decal and locks it into the paintwork quite well

[@broccolifordinner6847]

Hi, very nice video and channel, I certainly subscribed. One question, how do you apply dry-brush with Vallejo Model Color? Do you use a special technique or retardant? Doesn't the paint dry fast?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

Often when I drybrush I just use the paint straight, or thinned down very slightly with either vallejo airbrush thinner or water... I usually do it pretty quick so I've never had any issues with paint drying out, though it does dry on the model quite fast, which is normal for acrylic anyway.

[@broccolifordinner6847]

Thanks!

[@USALibertarian]

Is this for Bolt Action?

[@MidlandsAirsoft]

m8 they look g8 i r8 outstanding

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+MidlandsAirsoft 8 out of 8?

[@theemperor-wh40k18]

Herbert Erpaderp w8 m8, I r8 8 out of 8.

[@SolventAbuseUk]

look ok to me

[@38mishalkin]

*За Родину!*

[@geier1149]

Why did you use the chinese decals

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I like the way they looked. Why do you think.

[@polishmodeling9551]

good

[@cursedmonkey1033]

I don't understand how you got such a good result by being so apparently haphazard. Are you some sort of savant or something?

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I've been painting haphazardly for a long time.... I seem to have learned things.

[@johnchavez3753]

undiluted what? sorry im from mexico i dont understand that word

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I'm not sure which word you mean, but Matte varnish will dull the shine around decals.

[@johnchavez3753]

"undiluted soft tone"

[@HerbertErpaderp]

Soft Tone is a type of wash made by the army painter. In this case I didn't thin it before using it. shop.thearmypainter.com/products.php?ProductGroupId=21#Soft Tone

Derp!

[@john-lenin]

You missed some spots on your hands.

[@nicolelukasrinna6706]

the whell... -_- hmnmm...

[@connorsarf2970]

Do you like PP chanell ? Yes ? So you should check "War Documentaries" and "TheWindsOfWar" channels. Try to find "Wydawnictwo Militaria", "Osprey-Vanguard", "Tornado" and "Zenith Press". GL&HF. ];->

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Slawomir Szymkowicz I shall have to check all of these out.

[@KingDanNZ]

I think it says "For Stalin" but my Russian is poos

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+KingDanNZ I think "For Stalin" looks more like 3a Ctanhha or something. My Russian is poops too!

[@antonarakcheyev8541]

+Herbert Erpaderp +KingDanNZ Let me give you a hand of help with this) "For Stalin" - "За Сталина" and "За Родину" - "For the Motherland" - Herbert was almost correct. Moreover - both phrases are parts of motto or tagline of '41-'45 Soviet Union Red Army - "За Родину! За Сталина!" - it has been used during attacks. Here is some war posters with this phrase: img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/5309/51667439.241/0_74fb4_130d985a_L.jpg ic.pics.livejournal.com/tipolog/9755416/863775/863775_original.jpg work-way.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/57796590_1271317865_1944_Pavlov.jpg Sorry for grammar - not enough practice)

[@HerbertErpaderp]

+Anton Arakcheyev Those are some cool posters. Thanks for the information. I didn't realise both phrases were part of a motto, but I guess it does make sense.

[@Radio4ManLeics]

Ref Red stars & Russian tanks, very uncommon except for lend-lease vehicles. They made far too effective aiming points. theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=349961 для родины is indeed for motherland. Pronounced "dlya rodiny"
