Enjoying scale modeling. I have began to love modeling and making dioramas. I am not the best by no means but just enjoy the hobby of building them, detailing and learning every time I step into my zone of modeling. Hope everyone enjoys the channel and the videos as much as I do building and making them!
Feedback. Uniform: Field grey (tamiya xf-65 field grey) is a colour that goes from grey (XF-63) towards green. It also depends a little on the year. At the beginning of the war rather grey, from 41/42 rather a dark green. The harness and belt were black. Only the DAK (Afrika Korps) had a brown one. Officers had brown leather belts. But here is no one in the dress uniform. The Pak was first delivered ex works in dark grey (XF-63) and from 42/42 in sand yellow (XF-59). In the field it was camouflaged with olive green (XF-62) and rust brown / dark brown (XF-64). Green can also be seen in museums, but it is questionable whether this is the original colour. The Google image search shows what I mean and helps you to better match the colours (unfortunately also with your other models), including original photos, unfortunately often in black and white. Technically well built and implemented, only with the colours you should deal a little more, unfortunately they all don't fit ;) No offence meant, should help you to become even better ;)
Hey I appreciate it. I am all about hearing from fellow modelers. Im new at this so I appreciate the advice. I get better as time goes on and I jump into new models. Thanks again!!!
@@Hobby0127-ek5hl Yes, I thought you were relatively new to the hobby. Hence my feedback. I know it's often taken badly, even though you only want to help... So thank you for your reaction :) You can have a look at some Wehrmacht (vehicles, uniforms and DAK) stuff on my canal, painted with the given colours and as an example how the uniforms look like. But does not replace original pictures. There are a lot on the net or in books. Matching colours are also available from other manufacturers, not an advertisement for Tamiya. But I think they fit best, even after decades.
This one was fun for sure. I thought it turned out pretty good for an attempt at a diorama like this. Thanks for the support and for watching. Lots more to come soon!
Had some fun with this one for sure. Trying different things with the foam and seeing how it turned out. For only my 3rd diorama it turned out pretty good. Thanks a ton for watching and remember to SUBSCRIBE to the channel.
Had fun with this one for sure and I think the TAMIYA "Bulldog" tank turned out pretty well. I feel I still need to add a few things to it to really have it complete. I will post the new add-ons later and over on my Patreon page soon. Thanks for watching and for the support.
So I bought this kit months ago and built it not really having much experience at all at dioramas but I wanted to give it a try. For my level of modeling at the time I think it turned out ok. I was not going to post this video but I thought why not, it will show how I have progressed up to this point in my modeling. Thanks a ton for watching and the support. Remember I have a Patreon page with tons of pics and content on my projects.
A much maligned model from Tamiya . OK it's not up to the standards and accuracy of the modern kits but it's a damn good model , inexpensive , enjoyable and uncomplicated to assemble . l,ve built it several times over the years and l love it . Nice model and diorama . Well done .
"On the fence" diorama was one of my first of this caliber. Yeah I know it needs more detailing and more precise detailing but I am in the learning stages for sure of this hobby and enjoying every bit of it. Thanks for watching and being apart of the channel. Remember to hit my Patreon page for a lot more on this and many more models.
The Hasegawa F-4 in 1/72 scale. I decided to build it a different way than the box art and do a "Sundowners" version. Now I know its probably not exactly accurate but I think I did pretty well considering. The tail section was painted by hand and most of the rest with the airbrush. More of this build is over on my Patreon page along with a TON of other stories.
Good work, but no grey uniform for the Panzer crew...Black or possibly fieldgrey at the end of the war on some battlefields.And no plain red shoulders straps: pink pipe for the Panzertruppe, on shoulders straps, collar and collar patches.
The first time I learned about Tamiya was with a RC ‘toy’ of the M-41 Walker Bullfog of my cousin, I think 1973? Not as detailed as the one you have here. My cousin outgrew modelling. I still have the Tamiya RC M-41. The gear parts have rusted. It is still unpainted. It sits next to the Panther on the shelf. I have the later Tamiya M-41 still in the box.
The M-41 has a special place in my childhood memory. On my way to High School riding a Jeepney (converted US Army jeeps turned into mini-buses), a convoy of M-41 of the Philippine Army drove by to enforce Martial Law, set up checkpoints and suppress any acts of defiance. Everyone was scared. I just wanted to get close to them. Memory stayed with me for years. Until…. On my way to my first college in Canada, I went over a bridge overlooking a railroad yard. A train was pulling car after car loaded with old Chieftain tanks of the Canadian Army! The Tamiya Chieftain was the last kit I built before moving to Canada. I still have it and it sits on the shelf with the unpainted M-41 and the Panther.
My first tank model kit. Bought it from a classmate in college during recess in 1976. I left the Philippines in 1979 and moved to Canada. I have had over a hundred model kits since then, but this Panther, poorly assembled and painted badly, still sits on my shelf to this day.
Compared to my first finished models, you did a great job on your first. Well done. And thank you for the choice of music. Really brought back the nostalgia of my first time.
TAMIYA M41 Tank build. Great kit and had a ton of fun with it. Only my second armor build to date. You can find more photos of the build along with stories over on my Patreon page.
At the request of a friend that was in the USAF, he loves the "Spectre", so I build him one. First one for me. He loved it and thats all that matters. You can find more pics of this build and information over on my Patreon page.
So I ordered this one by accident but when it came in I thought ok....lets build it and see what happens. A lot more interesting photos and stories over on my Patreon page.
Really enjoyed this first attempt at doing armor since I started this journey of modeling a little over 6 months ago. I think I will do a diorama next with this one. Find more of this tanks and others builds over on my Patreon page.
This was only my second attempt at miniatures. I feel I am getting better every time I hit the work bench. I will be adding these to a diorama soon. Lots more on these and others over on my Patreon page. Thanks a ton for the support.
