Dude this paint job is so sick. The tree branches are such a good touch. Then digital snow at the end is the chefs kiss 😂

These older Tamiya 1/35 kits are good "pick-me-uppers" and to your point, allowing one to upgrade and experiment with new techniques - well done!

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

Thank you! The next Tamiya I do like this will be the Quad with the gun tractor :)

@typhoon2827 Ай бұрын

I love these older Tamiya kits: they're evocative of my youth, relatively cheap, great clean quick builds and become excellent canvases for trying new paint ideas.

11:09 This 3D printer library trend is mind-blowing for anyone old skool. The scale precision achievable is also astounding.

Great Video! That's called Stippling, and for Cast steel texture you leave it alone. but for Plate Steel you lightly sand it. And those sponson pieces are 1cm x 11cm using CA to seal the edges. I've built a bunch of Tamiya T-34s!!!

@ModelNerd 17 күн бұрын

Thanks. Yes, I tried to cut styrene for the sponson sides but realised it would be fiddly for various reasons. Figured the box was a good cheat :)

I used Testors liquid cement in the late '80s to do zimmerit on a Tamiya King Tiger. I drew the pattern out on the appropriate parts and then applied a healthy dose of the liquid cement and scraped the pattern in with a hobby knife. Tedious to be sure, but looked good in the end. First place in a local contest! Great video, and its nice to see the older kits still getting some well deserved attention.

Hi Stu, another really nice build and with such an unusual scheme, well done on the research for this one. I am another fan of the older Tamiya kits, they are such good value for money and are very well engineered, years ahead of their time, cheers mate.

Awesome build Stu! 👌 Looks so much better in winter cammo and with the mud effects, it's spot on! Love the hand painted tree/branches and the masks. As you say, these old Tamiya kits are perfect for a little update/upgrade, yet still build ootb to make a lovely model. The extra stuff you did on this one, elevates it just enough in my opinion. Yet another fantastic build mate! 👌 You motivate me to get an old Tamiya tank/vehicle kit out the stash! Cheers Stu 👍👊 P.S. will you have another vid out before Christmas?

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

Thank you mate. Yeah, go on - grab a Tamiya kit from your stash! I hope I can have another video out before Christmas - I've got a couple of builds in progress that might be ready in time, and a couple of other non-build video ideas too.

@stephenbridges2791 Ай бұрын

Nice job. I think the idea behind Uncle Night Shift's mixing putty and cement is that it gives you a longer working time, among other things. I can imagine you had to be quick just using the cement. I keep modified brushes to do mine, then I throw them out.

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

I think you're right about the putty, yes. I'll have to give that a go in future. I do a similar thing - my older brushes are set to one side ready for those destructive tasks! :)

@_--JohnVK--_ Ай бұрын

I've been contemplating getting a Cricut machine for a couple of years now, but never actually got to it, mainly because I was not sure how accurate it would be for small 1/35th scale mask making. I had been thinking to also be using it to cut 1/48th cockpit masks. I still have the "empty" masks, from when I used them, and got to thinking that maybe I could scan those into the Cricut and cut them. That would save me a TON of money! So, if you could make a video about it, that would most definitely be HIGHLY APPRECIATED! 👍👍

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

Thanks - I appreciate the feedback. I'll have a look at creating a video over thr next month. For what it's worth, I suspect that 1/48 cockpit masks may be a little too fine for the Cricut.

@_--JohnVK--_ Ай бұрын

@@ModelNerd Thank you! Looking forward to the video! 👍 And yeah, I had a feeling that 1/48 might be a little too much to expect from it 😉 But still, a VERY useful device to have, seems like. As said, I am looking forward to the video, to be able to gain some more actual scale modeler usage insight! This video was great, by the way! Good job on the special tree scheme! 👍👍

@_--JohnVK--_ Ай бұрын

@@ModelNerd Oh, forgot to ask: on your 3D printer, when you set things up, did you already do the special print for getting the most perfect exposure for your prints? It is called R_E_R_F (Resin Exposure Range finder) and gives you 8 small patches in one print, for which your printer can print them on a range of exposures. By looking at the printed result, you can find out what exposure will give you the best results. There should be a R_E_R_F file specifically for your printer. It is usually on the supplied USB or in the printer's memory. Otherwise it could be on your printer manufacturer's website somewhere in the downloads section. It's an absolute essential. It definitely made my prints much better, when I found out that I was printing at too low exposure!

hello, I love the work as always and am grateful for the video. I have been thinking about getting a cricket as of late but didn't know if it would work for my application which is 1/35 German armor and occasional 1/16th. I would appreciate a video on it to get some understanding of it and to show it would work for my models. again, I am grateful for all the videos, I enjoy watching while I build. best regards.

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

Thanks Michael. This was the first time I've used it on a 1/35 model, and I also plan to try it with the Avro York livery. I suspect they will be too small for it really. But I can definitely do a video on it.

18:38 Cricut - I've heard the top end machines can now cut WOOD (!) up to a few mm thick - so in theory would it also cut plastic sheet material?

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

Yes, I think you're right. My model is only the bottom end cheapest one though. There are cheap "home" laser cutters available for a few hundred dollars but I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. No safety screens, and advertising images that suggest you can just use them on your dining room table(!). I'd rather keep my eyes!

I wonder how the paint would have changed if you used the dark green as the undershade, then the color you used for the tank and the lighter colours for highlighting.

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

I'm not sure - to be honest my white was probably applied a bit too thick for it to make much difference. Even the black panel lines barely show.

@ I noticed that, but you were going for the freshly white washed look, so you did get it and it looked really good. I like that you look for historical photos and show them. I've never seen those ones, this build of yours is very distinct and to me looked good.

Nice work. I tried some of Tanhbrushers panzer iv tracks ( I want some for my Tamiya Nashorn) and despite the fact that I think my printer is well 'dialed in', all the dettails are perfect on Phrozen exposure test print, I had exactly the same issues as you. I tried printing out 10 links plus the pins as a test first. The way the pins are printed I wonder if they are not being cured fully due to how clse they are in the 'crate' because they are so soft when you try to put them in. Plus the P.z.iv pins are half length and have an inner and outer pin which are different .You can see the difference if you look at the individual pin STLs but try seeing it on the printed item is impossible. While he has done superb work designing them I feel he has tried to be too 'real' and it doesn't really work. Maybe my printer isnt as dialled in as i think it is so I'll give it another go sometime. I wish he would design them as clip together rather then using pins

@ModelNerd Ай бұрын

I think you are right. I found the pins often stuck together in the 'box' and I'm not sure how well they were washed or cured. As you say, definitely a point where 'realism' actually makes things harder rather than easier!
