German King Tiger - Tamiya 1/35 - Tank Model - Part 1 [ model building ]

The first video for KZbin is the King Tiger assembly process. We are enjoying the fun of scale model production while making small changes such as expressing the damage of the fender using handmade etched parts and loading the collected junk parts on the rear deck.
KZbin用の最初の動画はキングタイガーの組み立て工程です。手作りのエッチングパーツを使ったフェンダーのダメージ表現や、集めて来たジャンクパーツのリアデッキへの積載など、少しづつ手を加えながらスケールモデル制作の楽しさを満喫しています。

I truly enjoy watching your videos. Your detailing and weathering are fabulous looking. You don’t go over the top by using store bought Photo Etch parts. Instead you make them from sheets of aluminum and copper and wires. I also love that you use the rubber band tracks and give them the natural sag by using rods. Perfect look. Thank you for sharing your tips and techniques with us. I look forward to the next video.

[@smc-2]

Thank you. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the video.

Remaking the thin wire and as a simple solution I would never have thought of, great idea and wonderful execution. Can’t wait to see more

Thank you. The next latest video post will be around next Wednesday. Please look forward to it.

[@user-oj7tj2cq5w]

サイドフェンダーの補強リブの残し方が間違っています。実機では前から2番目と４番目のフェンダーの両端に補強リブ溶接されており、それ以外のフェンダーはその補強リブに差し込む形になっています。従って左舷の前から4番目のフェンダーが抜けた箇所に補強リブはないはずです。

There is an error with the skirts, they are one piece, the copper parts are not separate parts... The skirts are formed with this shape, so this part cannot be alone.

Welcome back! I have come back after leaving it go a number of years ! To me it's the best hobby. Nothing is better than plastic kits with glue, putty,paint, tools and airbrush all over the bench. Those who left it behind in the 70's don't know what they're missing!

[@DaveyChainZ69]

Awesome video! I like the idea of securing the track sag with wire. What gauge wire did you use?

[@smc-2]

It's an ordinary cheap wire of 08 mm that is sold at DIY shops. Did you find it helpful? Thank you for your comment.😄👍

[@DaveyChainZ69]

@@smc-2 very helpful, thanks. Is that 0.8 mm gauge? Saves spending a fortune on Friulmodel tracks. 👍

[@quadegermany2200]

The tamiya zimmerit dose it have a zimmerit texture feel or is it just smooth

[@smc-2]

This is a very difficult question. Nowadays, various manufacturers have started releasing kits with ZIMMERIT coating. I can't help but say that the details are very unsatisfactory compared to those. Although I don't recommend it, it's not a very expensive part, so it might be a good idea to actually purchase it and check it out.🍑🍑🍑

[@colbyboggs5365]

Sorry to ask, I’m just starting out with model making. I’ve noticed in quite a few videos of great models, it almost appears a technique is to apply a light coat of epoxy onto certain areas to provide texture? Is that what I’m seeing here for example around the stepped mantlet of the gun and on the turret hatches? It’s where the grey is basically 😂

[@smc-2]

The gray part is not epoxy resin, but a thin layer of lacquer putty.😄

[@colbyboggs5365]

@@smc-2 lacquer putty ok awesome thank you!!!

[@ArmorStudioNYC]

What material did you use for the hooks placed on the top surface?

[@smc-2]

I use a very ordinary 0.6mm wire.😆

[@aigaro9736]

I built one King Tiger grom Zvezda, and Zvezda maded really good model, but I think that Tamiya Has maded better one

[@smc-2]

I don't know much about Zvezda, but Tamiya's King Tiger is a relatively old model, but I'm happy that I can still enjoy it. Like you, I think Tamiya is great.🍺

[@smc-2]

Thank you.👍

[@ludovicohlmann]

Very nice job, BRAVO. A single question, why just not glue the track on the wheels ?

[@smc-2]

This is because it is easier for me to work on painting and weathering if the tracks are removed. Therefore, it is made removable. Thanks for your comment.😄

[@Magic-lc1gk]

I’ve built this kit about 3-4 times, but I’ve never been able to create the back engine mesh covers that come with the kit. Is there a special type of glue you used for them, because yours look great! Also, love the extra details you’ve added to this old kit and thanks for showing how to create those tow cables, I will be sure to add them to my Tigers.

[@smc-2]

I use instant glue that is a little more expensive than the cheap ones sold at discount stores. I'm glad if you can use it as a reference. Thanks for your comment.🍺

I like your work very much. But you use a lot of Tamiya products. I also want to challenge various products such as dragon, italy, and habbyboss. It's very cool. あなたの作品が大好きです。 でもタミヤ製品をたくさん使います。 dragonやイタリアン、habbybossなどいろんな製品にも挑戦したいです。 とても素敵です. :)

[@smc-2]

少ないお小遣いの中でやりくりしなければいけない私には、タミヤのモデルは安くてとても助かります。dragonやイタリアン、habbybossなどと比べると半額で手に入れることができるからです。しかしいずれはタミヤ以外のメーカーの製品にも手を出さなければいけない時が来ると思います。いつとはお約束できませんが。いつもコメントありがとう。😄

[@smc-2]

Tamiya's models are cheap and very helpful for me who have to make ends meet on a small pocket money. Because you can get it for half the price compared to dragon, Italian, hubbyboss, etc. However, I think the time will come when we will have to deal with products from manufacturers other than Tamiya. I can't promise when. Thank you for your comments. 😄

How do you connect the rubber track so they don't brake and look so good?
