Tamiya 1/35 scale King Tiger Full build Review

[@miken8875]

Nice to see another brush painter. There are dozens of us, dozens!

[@scalestuff1066]

Deffo we are the unwashed mass's, so much press on airbrushes on youtube you would think no one uses a brush now

[@miken8875]

@@scalestuff1066 It can be frustrating when you click on a video hoping for a brush painted technique and no one's got one, especially for German soft-edge camo.

[@scalestuff1066]

Yeah I get that, I use spray paints for bases alot now, but the thing with airbrush guides is step one spend a few hundred quid.In real life I dont know any airbrush painters where all brush painters

[@miken8875]

I'd go for an airbrush if I had the space for it. Definitely tied to my living space sort of thing.

[@scalestuff1066]

@@miken8875 with me its money and time, i like the ease of cleaning brushes, when I had a basic airbrush I didnt like all the down time cleaning the thing between coats

[@scaleffect]

Seriously cannot believe the talent you have to brush paint this well. Amazing work as usual!

[@scalestuff1066]

Thank you very much!

[@Alan_Saund_Models]

I only paint by hand as well....good build 👍

[@scalestuff1066]

Cheers mate

I bought this Tamiya kit brand new a week ago and I'm giving it a winter type of paint job, very good kit and easy too. Your model looks great mate, love the paint job.

[@scalestuff1066]

Cheers mate, how are you going about the winter paint job? Its something I want to do but need to pluck up the courage to put a white wash over the existing camo, I was going to do that on a K8? I think (the russian big headed tank) but couldnt bring myself to do it

[@joesSONICBOOM]

@@scalestuff1066 Just finished it yesterday, I'll send some pictures of it on Facebook I will also be showing off the tank in my upcoming model tanks video soon.

[@scalestuff1066]

@@joesSONICBOOM Awesome mate look forward to seeing it, I check my scale stuff page everynow and again so if im slow on there bear with me

@@scalestuff1066 Okay mate, thanks very much

Hey Scale Stuff - great video, I’m nearly finish my version, great kit I put on the zimmerit myself - nightmare hobby boss for the next one, cheers Liam

[@scalestuff1066]

Hows your build coming along? the one hobby boss ones really nice, its just those dam link in link tracks that really take the flavour off the kit, oh and watch out for the injection marks on the turret!

[@ljscalemodels526]

@@scalestuff1066 thanks for asking - just finished the 3 camo colour and previously applied chipping fluid, but its not working :(, wheels are ready and im about to get into painting the tracks, very enjoyable. Cheers Liam

[@scalestuff1066]

Ah hate that chipping stuff, I used hairspray for a bit but its not idea either

Good work 👍

[@scalestuff1066]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@arjohnmaglalang5916]

Do you thin the paints and how long do u wait for an another coat cause I started hand brushing Tamiya

[@scalestuff1066]

No I dont thin them I work fast and let them settle to remove brush strokes, I dont dip the brush in deep tho so I dont get the thicker paint, coat wise depending on the weather I leave it a good couple of hours

[@Emma-jh4ye]

Why did I read that as German Tiger King and wondered what a German version of Carol Baskin would be?

[@scalestuff1066]

Isn't that the woman from tiger king he calls a bitch?

[@Emma-jh4ye]

Yes…that’s the joke

[@adamryan7650]

Need to buy u some proper tools drives me mad u using everything but a screwdriver 🤣🤣🤣

[@scalestuff1066]

Hahaha sorry dude, I have since this tank actually got a little set of mini screwdrivers, think this builds nearly 2 years on now
