Could listen to you all day. Fantastic idea in discussing the various colors and color schemes. The interaction between the three of you is fantastic in that one of you ask the questions the viewer would ask. Superb, instructive channel best on RU-vid. Also advising viewers on the reference books available is super informative.
Excellent video, gents. I have not built much of any British armor except for a few WWI Takom & Meng kits. Looks like I need to delve more into this interesting genre as you all have peaked my interest between the resources that you spoke of as well as the several excellent builds that you guys showcased. Well done!
Very interesting guys, now as we are all isolated will we get new episodes daily ?? or LIVE !!!! Ha ha !! always look forward to your shows, being an Aussie and therfore speak the queens english in the proper manner with no inflxions i do love the way you Canadians say ‘about' …….great show thank you !
I got a load off ebay the Mike stramer books! I got a good one about the musical box whippet so made my own decals copied from photos and got master box figures of the Gerrys carrying the Brits from the blown whippet, I made a diorama of the story of the musical box one project I loved!
You guys work great together. Great as well as very informative video! I just wanted to say thank you all for the time that you make for all of us, (you know being quarantined at home and all that good stuff) as well as they informative material. Thanks again for everything.
Great Video as always. 17:30 i (as a German) have to disagree with both Sandy and Dave! I don't know why, but most people always forget "Operation Bagration" 22.June.1944! That was the biggest loss the German Army ever took.. Armygroup Center basically was non existent after that Operation and the whole Ostfront collapsed.
That's because after the group collapsed, units like Wiking were thrown in and stopped the Soviet advance. One of the reasons Bragaton did so well is because of the allied landings in Normandy, causing Hitler to shift units west like 12th SS. Finally, Stalin started his operation, it was supposed to start around the same time as Normandy, but Stalin waited. I'm interested in it because my great uncle was a gunner on a panther in Wiking and was wounded in July 45 in Poland. RZM do some really fantastic books on Wiking in that area.
I'm building the Diappe raid Churchill just now I'm trying to get the colour correct as alot research says they were the khaki because the Green was saved for the RAF but in colourized photos the churchill is Green and the bostic is a buff khaki! I've done mine a khaki Green vallejo as you'll know it's a brown more than a green, but now it's time to double check what I can and try and get some plasti dip I use for my car to recreate the parachute rubberised bostic weatherproofing! I am gonna try a maskol first and see if I can replicate the blown seals but yeah fun and game's!
Hey Robert, did you change the camera you use, or just the lighting? Whatever it is, it looks much better, good job mate! At home in New York with all the coo-coo stuff going on, watching your videos again, trying the techniques you demonstrate, have one thing to say,: Please keep them coming! Please ....
The presence of Mark V's in Stalingrad was down to an extraordinary action by the Royal Tank Regiment. The first Mark V Tanks actually arrived in Tsaritsyn (later Stalingrad) in June 1919. A Royal Tank Regiment detachment was training White general Anton Denikin's troops in the use of Tanks supplied by Great Britain who temporarily took over the city, defeating the Red Army. The RTC mission was only supposed to be training, and not fighting. The extraordinary feat was mainly down to Major Ewen Cameron Bruce who had volunteered to joint the White Russian tank company that he had been training as part of British assistance to the White Army. Bruce was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his bravery for single-handedly storming and capturing the fortified city of under heavy shell fire in a single tank. The rest had broken down on the outskirts. The White Army was later driven back out of Tsaritsyn, and this was probably how the tanks came to be preserved in the City down to 1942. Historian B. H. Liddell Hart believed that Bruce's action is "one of the most remarkable feats in the whole history of the Tank Corps."
A good thinner for AK real colour is simple IPA, this paint has a retarder built into it and for you armour guys it gives a better flat finish than SLT (Mr Color levelling thinner, that tends to give a more satin (semi gloss) finish). You don't get needle drying problems thanks to paints in built retarder. Not done much with their vehicle colors, I do mainly aircraft and I can change a gloss with SLT to a Semi gloss by simply using IPA with their aircraft range. That said I think a gallon of IPA is £100 on Ebay now with Corvid 19 :(
