I think a bit more rust around the rivets would have been appropriate and I think the kit needs an engine and a figure or two. You did a BEAUTIFUL job with the paint. I love your black basing technique.
Thanks David ! I'm a big fan of black basing too. I dont often add a base and figures but I am for the next build. Sometimes the vehicle is enough for me before the next project 😆 I bet these rusted a lot more, like you said, a bit more wouldn't have hurt. Many thanks 😊
This is a super cool build but I'm disappointed there was no engine supplied with the kit, especially since finding a period correct engine somewhere else is going to difficult. It just seems odd to have such a detailed hood/bonnet with all those hatches that could be posed open that there's no engine, seems like if they wanted to go that route it would've been easier to mold the hood with nonfunctional hatches. I like the hand painted lettering on the hood better than the decal tbh, looks more authentic to me. 👍👍
Lovely job as always James! Re 3D printed parts.. I've noticed that after market companies that specialise in them tend to leave the build supports or design it with a protective cage especially as they know it needs to survive couriers! Model companies could save themselves time doing the same as they have to 3D print supports anyway. It's just wasting time to then remove them. BTW you mentioned it looked a bit messy in close up. I think that's /encouraging/ to other modellers. If theirs looks a bit naff in close they won't worry which they might if they thought it should look perfect at all times. A thought for decals... if you do have to remove them, can you then trace them with a scalpel to leave you with a stencil to paint them in?
Julian the last tip is a great idea and I didn't think of that. I'm not the greatest at cutting things out neatly but if I find myself in this spot again, I think maybe it would be time to try it
You and a csM kit it s a wonderful moment in video.I’m fan of your work.But I m angry at you.Because of you I want to buy all the CSM kitseven if I would never have your talent 😊 thanks sir for the great pleausure moment when I see your videos
Nice niche model from CSM. I think they are really the replacement of former WNW in most parts. An engine would have been nice, but this probably will be supplied by aftermarket producers. Excellent build again James. Keep up the good work ✨👍✨
Based on the Lancaster that I purchased from CS and followed your build ….and though I say it myself did a more than half descent job …I have now purchased this one ……..so based on the past one …see you sometime in May / June …..seriously though great modelling …..are you going to do one of the CS first WW planes with the struts and wires …hope so
Hi James, have to say, that is another beautiful model, thanks for sharing it with us. In return I'll give you a little titter. I was avidly watching you painting but thought there was something slightly askew with the model, couldn't put my finger on it. It wasn't until you were putting the decals on that I realised it doesn't have "Normal" tyres on it. I think I had a small "senior moment."
This is yet another beautiful build, looks amazing mate, properly nice job, especially painting those decals on! I'm really tempted to try one of these copper state armoured cars now, every single one you've built on this channel look like awesome kits!
Great to see those more "esoteric" armoured cars built in such high quality! Having had the chance to see a somewhat similar (though later) Daimler DZVR 21 in person at a German museum those nearly steampunk aesthetics did leave quite an impression in 1:1 scale as well 👍
Another amazing build, James....I wouldn't change one solitary thing.....it's beautifully detailed by your painting and weathering. Always a pleasure watching your work and the wait was definitely worth it.
Hi James, I like what you have done there, I wish we could get Copper State kits' at a price that include costing me a kidney and it is good to know I'm not the only one with sausage fingers🤨.
Great build. The painted vehicle name looks more realistic than decal. This machine seems to the ancestor to the similar looking modern day armored vehicles.
I think I might be going a bit crazy but I have looked at this video on two monitors and my phone and can't seem to figure out how green the model is. Does it look quite green in person or would you say its more overall grey ?
It's roughly RAL 7010 as a mid tone , it sits inbetween panzer grey and field grey ( like the tamiya shade ). I used a colour picker app from a screenshot to get a rough idea from a photo I know represents the colour well.
@@lpjmodels A Great armor car comes out. I am to like Copperstate models. They have good models from the First World War. But you have great skills in painting. Have old are you made models?
