Scale Model Camo Tutorial | Nets, Tarps & Hessian Tape | Part #1

[@premkudva]

I like the simultaneous multiple camera angles. Like on the TV sitcoms. 👏😊

[@SpruesNBrews]

Haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching! 👍🍻

[@TheGreywulff]

What a well done tutorial ! Looking forward to part two !! Great tip on that packing paper. I've always used TP. Now I'm going to give this a try.

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thanks so much! I've also tried with TP in the past, but I don't like the texture as much - I think the packing paper looks better in this scale! Happy Building 😁🍻

Nice video and I specially like the setup of 3 different views of the same focus point. Thank you for sharing!

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you! And thanks for watching 👍

[@szechuan.sheridan1670]

I love the idea of using white glue, the only problem I have is about how to get the decals underneath, I found using rigging wire for ships and attaching it with those is both realistic and convenient, as you can also paint the netting (with stripes for example)

[@SpruesNBrews]

Ahh yes - generally I'll try to put the nets in place where the decals might be covered up by something else already (such as a track link or something), but you're right - it can be tough if you want a star to show through from beneath the net 👍

[@jamesnoble2753]

Great job.You brought the tank to another level.

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you very much!

[@spruecuttermodels4554]

Some fairly easy steps leading to some excellent details! Might have to give it a go on my next tank

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thanks my friend! Give it a go - I'd love to see 👍🍻

[@Panzermeister36]

Great video! I like the multi-angle cameras you've got going :)

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it - thanks for watching! 😀

[@cjkirkland2334]

Giddy up. Nicely done and looking forward to more!

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you kindly! Hoping to get part 2 up this week! 👍

[@jlpytlewski]

You can paint the model before placing common nets, etc. Just place plastic wrap over the model and sculpt the tarps and nets . This makes them removable for easier painting.

[@SpruesNBrews]

I like to paint everything in place - works a little better for me, but whatever works best for you! 👍

[@jacobs_models995]

Finally got an opportunity to check out your vids. Off to a great start 👏. Kind of making me want to make a vid😅

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thanks for watching - I appreciate it! And go for it! 😁🍻

[@joannatrevino8882]

That’s awesome all this time I been trying to figure out how to create the hessian tape camo, and the answer was always under my nose ugghhh. Thank you beer guy now I can build the other Airfix Firefly and Churchill tank.

[@panzer-meister]

Today, I found your channel suddenly. It's very nice tutorial. Also, it's easy to understand what you are doing. I subscribed and will follow your channel too. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, NOB

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it - cheers! 👍🍻

[@erickirwan8703]

Very cool and helpful video. Can't wait to try this on my Churchill👍

[@SpruesNBrews]

I'm so glad to hear! Good luck & happy building 👍

[@switchoff64]

I like the 3 camera view, tri-angle lol

[@SpruesNBrews]

Haha thanks!

[@kaigesekus5159]

My too, ultraprofessional tutorial with 4 angel cover. I think its usefull for smaller scale like 28mm 1/56, 1/48 and even 1/72. Definitive 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you very much! And you're right - these techniques should work just fine for any scale you're working in 😁🍻

[@cliffprice6962]

Outstanding tutorial.

Brilliant video mate 😉👌

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you! I appreciate it 😁🍻

[@Mendigoinversor]

Hi! Excellent video! I also like to add some scratch in my videos, I think it adds value to the models and makes them unique. Thanks for sharing your techniques and advice, they have been very useful to me.

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear - I really appreciate it 👍

[@desertduck10]

Well executed. I do have a bit of constructive feedback. Firstly, great build you have there! And a very nice instructional video. Now for a "rivet counter" comment. Hessian tape was "generally" about two inches wide off the rolls. Also used were various materials such as burlap. In 1/35 scale these strips should be about 1/2 to even 1/4 of the width that is shown as an example on your model. Again great video.

[@SpruesNBrews]

Ahh yes! Good point for sure - I took some artistic liberties & made them a little wider. Easier to paint for sure! But appreciate it 👍

[@MottysMilitaryModels]

Hi buddy, great stuff, only just found you. Brill. There's a great couple of folks , friends to try... Greg Reilly and Al Woods . Looking forward to more from you. Stay safe

Will it be okay if i used other kinds of net? Btw, This video is pretty helpful!

[@thatraginbull8569]

Great vid, do you paint the netting before application? I will be using gauze

[@tomas_piat]

I follow you in IG for quite a time and I always imagine S&B be like +50yo guy with beer belly but anyway nice video. :)

[@SpruesNBrews]

Ha! Fair enough... we'll get there someday 😅🍻

[@sabahtaha1746]

pretty neat your logo from us armored divisions

[@SpruesNBrews]

Thank you! 👍

[@RubensParker-Smithers]

Just asking why do you have to put them on before painting. I’m new to modelling and don’t know why so could some one tell me

[@modellingseb]

You probably won’t see this but I was just wondering how would you do hessian tape on the turret or the hull? Would it still be with tape or would you recommend something else, I’ve seen epoxy putty being used but I don’t know if that would work as it might look a little too thick. Also great tutorial, much love

[@SpruesNBrews]

Hey there! Yes - I'd stick with tape for the turret & hull to keep the look consistent. A good rule of thumb is to try to visualize what pieces of the tank the individual strips would be attached/tied to so that everything looks realistic. Can't have strips just floating in space! 😁 Happy building!

[@modellingseb]

@@SpruesNBrews thanks a lot, stay awesome

[@ElectricGrapes]

I can't find any photographs where hessian tape looks like that.

[@sombatstudios]

How do I secure the stowage to the tarp?

[@rabcooper2716]

Which site/company do you use for your after market stuff?

[@rrl4245]

Thanks - great video. My main question is, what held those nets and strips on the barrel in place - on the real tanks?

[@SpruesNBrews]

A very good question! If you check out some historical photos, you can see that it's generally a mess of netting, webbing & the Hessian Strips. Quite a mess! But I'm sure once you wrapped it all on there, it would be pretty tough to get off. I wouldn't be surprised if they used any bits of rope or wire they had laying around, as well. 👍🍻

[@AHC_]

Would a dryer sheet work for any of this stuff?

[@SpruesNBrews]

I haven't tried it personally, but you could give it a go!

[@stevenmarkbower3447]

Interesting will try next time I build a tank. Only draw back is I'm British like the tank you camouflaged so don't know how big a quarter is 😂

[@fredmidtgaard5487]

Hmmm the net we use in Scandinavia on our tanks in winter looks different. How or where do you find the right mesh?

[@SpruesNBrews]

Ahh interesting! I picked this netting up at a local hobby store years ago & unfortunately I don't remember the manufacturer. But you can use a gauze or a cheese cloth to achieve a very similar result 👍

[@fredmidtgaard5487]

@@SpruesNBrews Tank you very much! Great channel! In our winter camo, it seems that the holes in the mesh are much bigger (on actual tanks in service) than the mesh you use. I guess it is some NATO standard. Must be possible to find somewhere.

[@SpruesNBrews]

@@fredmidtgaard5487 ahh yes! This is designed to look like old-school (specifically WWII British) tank camo - you're totally right that modern stuff is quite different. I think I've seen some on spruebrothers.com... they might not ship out your way, but maybe you can pinpoint a brand name!

[@fredmidtgaard5487]

@@SpruesNBrews Thank you so much. Yes, Spruebrothers do send to Norway. I have bought a lot from them. Thank you for a great channel! 🙂
