What can I say. Looks gorgeous . Tamiya have good and realistic models. Colin as always are modest, telling about that he 's not model expert . Don't say that nevermore ! :) Grat job ! :)
Nice to return to this channel, even though I stopped model making due to how expensive it is, the time involved, and what not. But cant wait once I have the money, and time! :)
Hi from sunny Bulgaria !! Colin you did a great job with this little beauty i want to say that you had great journey so far and great advancement in the hobby i remember the first model that i see you complete it was the revell / monogram B-29 even if you say that you are not an expert there is always the 10k hour rule and you my friend are almost there keep working hard and having fun that's what the hobby is all about fun and creativity it's an art just like the painting !
Thank you for your kind words. You are right, I have improved my skills over the years. But the most important thing I want to tell all my viewers, including yourself is to enjoy this hobby too. Take care and have a great day!
Wow! That new technique turned out super awesome. Great build as always. You'll never know what you can achieve unless you aren't afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Tamiya has always made great kits. Build on!
That looks very nice Collin! The new techniques you are using makes the kit look realistic! One tip I have is to save the pin wash after the painting process. I couldn't exactly see the effect after the olive drab coat. The preshading however was very well executed and I could not have done better! Great job again Collin, keep up the amazing work!
Hey Q as always nice work. I agree with you and the painting process you used, it really brought out the panel lines of the tank. I'm going to try that technique on the Sherman I'm getting ready to build. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sittin here in 2022 and dude this looks tight as fuck. I really appriciate you pointing out where you needed to paint early and where you didn't. Usually tough lessons learned for me on that kind of thing. The M8 was such a fun derp tank in world of tanks and I've got one for Tank wars in bolt action but I kinda want a bigger one that might fit in for 40K. I think it might be a fun proxy to use.
Iam just Speachless ..... This is so beautiful the new technique you use is so good I watched this with my mouth wide open very very very nice job qdc!
Excellent work !!! I am impressed how simple you are working and then the fantastic result you get. You're my inspiration my friend. Greetings from Spain.
excellent QDC always like watching you work I can follow your pace of build much better than some others...I've rediscovered my love of modelling post stroke and watch your builds alot..for guidance and inspiration
An entertaining video again. The reversed pre shading is working out great. It gives a realistic effect. Wonder who would ever give a dislike to your video? Perhaps you could try to step up a little again and fill ejector pin holes and small openings and crevices that shouldn't be there? That would add a new item to your nice video's again and enhance the realism of your models. There are many products to do that but with Revell putty, Vallejo putty and Deluxe materials Roket Hot cyanoacrylate glue combined with the Roket powder of the same manufacturer you should be able to fill about any size crevice or hole without much extra work in most cases. Keep challenging yourself!
Looking this video again, this looks great still! I find there’s less time to build these days, it seems life has gotten busier. What’s your experience on that Colin? I love going back and review your videos again.
Great job!!i really like your videos and your airbrushing skills are exceptional.i have thought about buying this model for my self.keep on doing a great job!!
Nice job, I am also liking the results you are getting with the new painting process, I will be giving that a try in future, it gives good depth of colour 👍
Looks good as always. I like the detailing Tamiya gave the model. You also did a great job painting it. I really like this new technique. (I think I told you last time? :D)
I've always been a fan of this tank. Quick, with a big punch. The model looks great. Btw, a B-24 liberator flew over my brother's graduation ceremony yesterday. Insane, right?
QDC, if you want to prevent the silvering of decals as seen at 14:14 you need to apply a gloss clear coat, then add the decal and then put a matte clear coat on that.
Thanks for the advice. I think the issue here is more of the actual decal itself. These are thick decals and not the high end stuff. As best as I understand it, classic kits from Tamiya are not made in Japan anymore but in another country.
Out of curiosity, what do you do with all of these models after you're done with them? Do you have a display room to showcase them? That would make a great vid, a showcase of all the models you've done over the years. As always I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work.
