How to Paint & Weather DAK Model Tanks | Standard Weathering Procedure Ep.3

Hello everyone and welcome to Standard Weathering Procedure episode three. In this video I will show the full weathering process for this DAK Panzer I Ausf.A from painting, decals, varnishes, hairspray chipping, oil weathering, detail painting, through to pigment application. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video.
I will have English subtitles up soon so you can all better understand my mumbling.
Sorry the video is a little bit janky at certain points; it was mess to edit and I had lots of rendering issues...

DISCLAIMER: I am not paid to promote any specific products or brands; I just use the products I find work best for me through my experiences. There is no reason for me to promote a bad product, as then I would not enjoy using it, not like the result on my model, and not be proud of publicizing it in a video. There's also no point in me doing this to keep up relations with a company if the only benefit would be getting more of the same products that I didn't like. I have not used every product out there, but from what I have used, I keep using the products I like, and that's why I use them in my videos. You can use whatever other products you would like to and you can feel that they are better - that is your opinion, and is perfectly fine by me, thus I hope that feeling is reciprocated.

I have complete another video on weathering DAK tanks -- this time a Panzer III -- showing some different effects, such as no oil paints. It's a little more simple in terms of finish but I think it still looks great. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYWWc2OApt52Y7s

[@ToeCutter0]

This video was PHENOMENAL. I’ve never seen anyone go from bare model to complete weathering, paneling, etc in a single video. Well done, sir! I’ve just subbed as the quality of your videos is insanely high! The video, editing, cut scenes, narration; it’s all perfect. This is better than broadcast TV. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing and please, keep up the good work!

[@colinquinton474]

I'm a 60 year old and learning so much from these tutorials. Well done very impressive

[@johnburger8762]

I was told by my grandfather your never to old to learn.

[@MrCrankyNYC]

Invaluable information in these 1 hr long tutorials -- everything from simple decal applications to base coat and gloss painting was worthwhile. I returned to model building after about a 30 year hiatus. I wish I'd known even just a small fraction of all this info back then. Thanks!

[@mikequandt7724]

I once read that in the beginning stages or perhaps that later stages of the war in the desert that the DAK didn't bother to paint the lower hull the sand camouflage color. They left that up to mother nature and tons of desert dust to do the job. Especially in the area of the tracks and behind the road wheels. If true it sort of makes sense for conserving both paint and time. This particular tutorial was very informative and fun to watch. I've been modeling for well over 40 yrs. It's always fun to learn something new. You did a great job with this one.

[@dsmith8984]

Great video with really well detailed instructions. Also very well spoken, pleasure to watch and learn from. I look forward to seeing more. 😊👍

[@OsamaBenFartin]

Great timing! Your tips will come in handy for my M3 Stewart that I’m about to paint and weather! Keep up the great work!

[@requiempainting6713]

You are a legend! You've made weathering look so simple and as I've never tried it before I certainly will now! Keep up the good work!

[@tentacleprty]

Awesome video mate, definitely need to watch this again. Thanks for taking the effort to make this video!

[@mdub4758]

Your videos have gotten me back into modeling. I haven't done it for 35 years but you have inspired me!!! Your videos are the best I have seen on line. Good Job!!!

[@AlwaysDrawing2012]

One of the best painting tutorials I've seen! Thank you so much for this!

[@fauxlklore]

Excellent guide and your model looks incredible - so realistic!

[@lasercreation-world1981]

Yes, I think so too👍✌

[@nickhill941]

Great work and a brilliant video, perfectly pitched for those wanting to learn weathering techniques.....many thanks for posting

[@owenmayes2128]

Once again, another informative and useful reference video, with practical techniques that can be adapted to suit every field vehicle. Thank you.

[@thatonekid-gy2kt]

Your video has helped me a thousand times more then the 57 other tutorials I've watched. Thank you for your knowledge. Definitely impressed.

[@gilbertmoreno992]

As I said before Fantastic! You make it look easy. This is one of the BEST weathering videos I have seen on KZbin. Keep 'em coming!

[@halftrackvideos367]

An impressive and definitive tutorial! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@cursedmonkey1033]

Professionally done, informative and beautiful job.

[@robertbarker2672]

Best hour I've spent this weekend, very informative just what I needed in order to finish my panzer 3 except mine is the Tamiya version . brilliant work learned alot many thanks....

[@scaleworldwar5823]

Best video so far! Looks amazing by the way! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@scalebuildersguild]

Spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing your take on weathering effects. For the record, these scale up very nicely. Cheers!

[@Panzermeister36]

+Scale Builder's Guild thank you very much!

[@marcelwildeboer]

I learn so much watching you paint your models BIG like from me.

[@ellbowski]

I guess you have covered all a beginner might need. Looks amazing with straightforward tuition, if any of my model vehicles look half as good I will be happy, thanks!!

[@ITOWords]

Another superb finish Panzermeister, I love the weathered sand camo effect you have depicted. I know you're a fan of Mike Rinaldi, and I've got say the finish you achieved on this little beauty is up there with what I've seen Mike produce in his Tank Art books. I've also got to mention the fantastic production values you are providing for these videos.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Stunning.. simply stunning!!

[@montyenright]

You never fail to impress... keep up the great work and videos

[@ziwasi]

Currently I'm doing IS-3M for desert color. Your tutorial really help me to finish my model. Thanks bro.

[@MasterTRL]

One freshly painted, factory new Panzer vs one weathering boi. Nicely done! I really have no time at all for models at the moment but once i do, i know i´m gonna at least try the hairspray chipping and the pin wash you show here. Small steps! Thank you for all those vids. Way to go!

[@BRACLLC]

That’s art by an artist.

[@foreverplastickits138]

*A great job on this little tracked "thing", the result is so realistic! 👍*

[@jeffreybreiten4117]

I've been away from this stuff for a while, and was kinda afraid the next kits I make might suck.... :) I'm so glad I found your tutorials! they embolden me to improve, but not be paralyzed with fear of imperfection. Great vids! Great instruction ( without schilling )

[@themajesticmagnificent8561]

Straight forward run through,using a little to make so much.!.Excellent build,painting and effects..Be watching this for reference a good few times..Thanks for a Great video and all the best from Blighty🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

[@damon980]

You are a great modeller. Thx a lot for your precious tutorials!

[@oneillsoneills]

Super job, looks fantastic.

[@nitromyke]

Thanks for your videos, they're awesome, so are your scale models!!

[@michaelgershon870]

Great job on the model and video. Can't wait to try it all out myself.

[@johnnyb7122]

Fantastic video as usual!

[@jasemac5391]

Your videos have kept me sane during this COVID crap my Brother 👍🏻🇦🇺 love your work, it’s bloody awesome ;)

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you! I hope you're holding up well.

[@bennoakes2477]

This has actually given me ideas in an unrelated way. I have a similar old Tamiya Pz.II built many years ago that is far too dark grey once cleared for decals. It may become a candidate for a desert scheme over the top or perhaps a well-worn winter finish.

[@lordlorenzo5835]

WOW - Super video - Great step by step - Thanks for all of the tips....

[@LyleHatch]

Awesome look to this Panzer I - love the European Theater Panzer Grey showing through. Well done!

[@ericperkins2579]

Great work! Thanks for all you do for the hobby.

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you!

[@bjgam2]

Very informative and concise. Excellent modeling

[@Mythopoeikon]

Amazing work! And great inspiration for my next model!

[@lancebuttox9637]

Enjoyed that very much. Thank you for this great video

[@user-zf5fm2yp8y]

Thank you for all the videos, I’ve learnt so much especially on this and the other DAK video, extremely helpful for my own build.

[@adriandimofte7082]

Big tombs up for your work. Great one of my favorite

[@lasercreation-world1981]

very nice, great work and video, i really like your videos👍✌

[@ignaciorobledo3702]

Hey brother I love your painting techniques as so many modelers go the flat black base then they air brush white in panels then the base color is sprayed! You are doing very good and inspirational!

[@ashhillmodels3801]

Another super awesome video!

[@martinmcgowan9198]

I've watched all three of these videos and it's inspired me to pick up scale modelling again. When I finish painting my Bolt Action stuff I'm going to pick up a kit and go for it

[@Panzermeister36]

That is awesome :) I'm glad to be of inspiration! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

[@strategosopsikion8576]

Excellent! Looks awesome

[@w.rustylane5650]

Howdy. First of all, I'm a model railroader. When I want to portray rust, I use REAL rust. I make my own real rust. First I put approx. 2 rolls of 0000 fine steel wool into a quart jar. I then add enough white vinegar to cover the steel wool and sit the jar in a window that gets a lot of sun (in my case it's the kitchen window). I usually leave it for about 2 months or until most of the steel wool is dissolved into the vinegar (sometimes takes longer) and give the jar a shake once in a while. After most of the steel wool is dissolved I pour the mixture into a square or rectangle glass baking dish and put the dish in my closet for about 2 weeks or until the vinegar is dried completely. I then use a single edge razor blade scraper and chop up the rust mixture into a very fine powder. I usually store the rust powder in little snuff cans or tins of the same size. When I want to use the rust on a railroad car (or whatever) I take several scoops of rust powder and mix it with some isopropyl alcohol and equal part of Elmer's glue and add a few drops of water soluble glycerin. I make it up as a wash if I want the plastic to look like metal, but mix it kinda like paint if I want to use it as rust spots. It works very well and is REAL rust. Everyone who has seen my models remarks about how real the plastic looks like metal and how real the rust is.

[@petersherborne7513]

Great video! I have learnt lot, thank you for sharing your expertise

[@ScipionLaurentiend]

just sitting here with my mouth open ,starring at the screen as if you were teaching me the secret of immortal life...god damn the skills.....

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@ScipionLaurentiend]

@@Panzermeister36 I am a bit perplexed about the order that you glue your parts...dont the paint interfere with the bond?and how do you deal with glue possibly messing up the paint?

[@Panzermeister36]

I use super glue for attaching most parts after painting so the paint does not really have an effect on adhesion.

[@ScipionLaurentiend]

@@Panzermeister36 ohh...not the first who tell me they use super glue instead of cement...gotta give it a go some time then

[@Panzermeister36]

+ScipionLaurentiend I use cement for assembling the model parts when they are unpainted. I only use super glue if the parts are painted or if they are metal parts.

[@Rock80073]

Hi, French beginnner in tank model here. Your video are very impressive, interesting and now a reference for me. Thank you very much !

[@Panzermeister36]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

Great job and great info. Thank you.👍👍🇨🇦

[@chowderpilot3843]

Ohhh that looks magnificent. Great work and thanks for sharing the process...🤟

[@Panzermeister36]

Thanks for watching!

[@RB55able]

Fantastic realistic weathering and finishing; straight out of the hot, dusty campaign in Libya. I'm new to the hobby and the DAK is what I've always found most interesting. Your tank is how I imagine armour should look like from Northern Africa. Great work!

[@opassocken8961]

Großartig! Saubere Arbeit! 👍👍👍

[@SmallSoldier]

Very well done Evan. The chipping and weathering was very realistic and I think overall you have a very nice piece. I know how much work it takes to make one of these videos as I just finished editing my first video. So congrats on all your hard work!

[@keithschooling9367]

I very much appreciate your video. As a novice airbrusher, you have managed to give me the advice on mixing paint that I needed. My early attempts had the wrong paint mix, so we’re very wet and did not achieve the effect I wanted. I am attempting to now start weathering using the advice you have given in the video. Well done - keep those videos coming.

[@paolomarzullo2698]

Traduzione italiano

[@puffthedragon3983]

Man, that's a long video there! But every minute is full of informative details and well worth the time. I find your tips simple with realistic results and your camera angles are the best. Thank you for making the video and sharing your knowledge with us. I would rate this how-to video one of the best in KZbin.

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you very much!

[@luisboni3916]

This tutorials are my side-by-side companions during my builds. You are a genius. U should upload more of this like weathering olve drab or diferent types of cammo. Kepp getting better thanks to you

[@Panzermeister36]

+Luis Boni thank you! I'm glad you engoy them. And yes, I will be featuring more colours of tanks in the future, once I have the time to make another big video like this.

[@CurvedSlightly]

That looks awesome dude! If you'd have said that was the real thing, I'd have believed it!

[@arky82]

nice and amazing build! Very realistic

[@ericperkins2579]

Great! Thanks. Working on a Grant now, going to try these techniques.

[@Shashman82]

[@DNModels]

This is a small vehicle! You did an awesome job, especially considering the platform size. Kudos!

[@Panzermeister36]

Thank you Mitko. Like I said in the video, I would have much rather preferred to use your masks for the numbers but that wasn't a possibility...next time I will use them though; they are the best!

[@DNModels]

I am thinking maybe 1/16th scale for the first German tanks. Two reasons - they were pretty small in general. And also, they are available on the market too. I would like if you do a short add-on to this video. Or maybe a FB comment at least. What would be interesting is the way you do the tracks. On desert tanks they are quite specific. Yours looks great, although I didn't catch the techniques used. And warm thanx for the comments on the masks, but you did a fantastic job with the decals here!

[@AirbrusherStudio]
