Tamiya 1/35 U.S. 2 1/2 Ton 6X6 Cargo Truck Part Two Painting

[@DIORAMUS-]

Trucks take more work than any tank model kit. Great Job.👍

[@longlance67]

It was a pretty involved process which I was not expecting at all

[@Unyielding_Modeller]

I really like your painting and weathering technique.

[@longlance67]

@@Unyielding_Modeller thanks mate!

[@joinery1888]

Great painting techniques to watch with my morning coffee. You've made me want to buy one now... Thanks for sharing and looking forward to part 3

[@longlance67]

Cheers mate! And its a great kit, you'll love it! Starting work on Ep.3 as we speak

[@panzer-meister]

Nice work and good looking finish. Thank you for sharing. Greetings, NOB from Japan

[@longlance67]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it! Greetings for Ireland

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Boy, you did a lot of work in this episode. Well done, Shane.

[@longlance67]

Thanks Rick it was a bit of busy episode to be sure lol Also love your new JagdPanther video too mate!

[@Elizabeth-0]

Looking forward to seeing the completed build. I ended up buying the same kit a couple weeks back thanks to you. Now if I can find time to build it.

[@longlance67]

Awesome! Its such a nice kit and you will love it once it you get around to it. I'm already looking doing a few others in the future as you can do so much with them

[@AbstractArmorHLF]

Well done Shane. This looks great. Thank you for your great tutorial to achieve similar results.

[@longlance67]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gary6300]

Hi Shane, nice work, mate. You've done a grand job on Tamiyas. GMC it's still a cracking kit from 1997 looking forward to the next part. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧

[@longlance67]

Thanks Gary! Hopefully I will get the next part up soon!

[@lukedelport8231]

Just finished my build of this kit but after watching this, looks like I have a lot to learn

[@longlance67]

Don't degrade your work, no doubt you did a great job and you should always be proud of models. And always look forward to next model and trying something new. Keep up the good work and happy modelling

[@DioramasPoa]

Show...good tips, and as always a plastic model class.

[@longlance67]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ArmourEmpire]

I'll be trying the tool painting tip asap. Looks great Shane

[@longlance67]

Thanks Mark! Its a super easy technique and you get great results from it

[@michaeldean1289]

Great work as usual Shane I’ve got about 4 + of these to do one day, and it’s good to get some helpful build/painting tips mate!!

[@longlance67]

Awesome! They all going into the same diorama ?

[@stevie65able]

Beautiful work so far. I felt your pain with the frosting. That sinking feeling when hours of work go up in a cloud of smoke 💨! Great recovery though.

[@longlance67]

It was a moment of sheer dread when frosting happened. But thankfully we got a away with it lol

[@MarkBurnett-xl3sl]

Enjoy watching your work... FYI H40 Flat Base isn't a Matt Varnish. It's used to tone down Gloss Paints, hense the frosting....

[@longlance67]

that would explain a lot lol thanks for sharing

[@allanatwick1606]

Great video as always with top work too. What a save from the frosting!! I'd have been gutted if mine dried like that. Then it would have gone into a bath of methylated spirit to strip the lot off. I wouldn't have thought of using a rattle can on it thats for sure. Looking forward to the next installment, cheers mate

[@longlance67]

It was a bit of hair raising moment when I first saw the frosting beginning to form all over the model. After all that work its one of the worse feelings in the world to be confronted with the fact it might have been all for nought. But I discovered that little trick by accident a couple of years ago. But putting a new layer on top of it to reverse the effect. And thank the model gods it worked in this case too lol

[@allanatwick1606]

@@longlance67 I had a complete disaster with my first 1/35 scale tamiya tank and my first attempt at photo etch. Ended up stripping the paint off twice in a meth bath and god only knows how many times I had to glue the P. E. Back on. It was also my first time using pigments and with my complete lack of skill and knowledge I screwed all that up too. It's in a box now awaiting another stripping haha. All that said, my latest attempt at a sherman isn't going too good either now I think about it 🤣🤣🤣

[@MikeUSA67]

Hi Shane, nice work and an even nicer save! You may recall our last conversation about my Italeri debacle - you inspired me with your build, and so I just treated myself with the Tamiya kit along with the Eduard PE set. I'll give it another go because the Italeri kit didn't give me any pleasure at all, and all I want from this hobby is fun, nothing else!!!. Hope you don't mind me "stealing" your way to fabricate the door safety-straps? Cheers, Mike

[@longlance67]

Hey Mike, sometimes its better to leave a bad build behind. And start a better kit that wont punish you for your efforts. You'll find the Tamiya kit far better. Hope you have fun with it mate!

[@davideldridge4479]

@@longlance67 I totally agree. I tried the italeri m6 gmc but put it back on the shelf. Not worth getting frustrated over. I'll keep for spares

[@fieldmarshal48]

At 27:28 in the video you paint the trailer cable plugin cover red and then the right-side taillight red. This is wrong as only the upper left side lens was the 'Service Drive' daylight stop signal. The upper right side and the two lower lenses were clear slits covering the night driving Black-Out Drive lamps used of course for tactical night driving.
