It's been a while since I have commented on your videos. I purchased that same kit in Dec 2018 and now I am going to build it. I spent some time going over the kit and now I have the time to work on it. Now I have all three Marder models. Thanks for the review and the work you have done.
Love your videos, Andy... watching them takes me back to being a kid in the early 80s, Squad Leader boardgames, building a model in my attic bedroom late at night, and my mom and dad are still alive :) thanks for the therapy sessions
Treena Rhodeback you should check out PLASMOs channel as well. Him and Andy are the best model channel on RU-vid. Plasmos videos are utterly incredible, his modeling skills are out of this world. Both channels are very different in approach but both are amazing.
When attaching the wheels without gluing, I use tissue paper to act as sleeve to firmly secure the wheel to the chassis so they can be painted individually or used for the link-n-link tracks
Ausgezeichnet! Zehr gut, and all that kraut talk, the branches are the final garnish on a excellent job! PS:Traverse & Elevate main gun are the 'correct' terms. LOL
I really like your channel Andy. Honestly, I have to say, that this is one of the nicest builds in the past few months I have seen from you. And a really nice touch with the branches there, by the way. Looking forward for another build of yours
FYI, because of your outstanding videos I have become a regular customer to web store for not only models but but hobby supplies. Thank you Mr. Andy for keeping the hoby alive. I live in California and I hope to soon make a road trip in cooler times to visit your expanded new store.
very nice, easily one of your best. The only thing i might recommend is a oil dot filer, just to add a little fading and color variation to the big flat surfaces
As always Andy, this was great build. I am 66 years old with some time on my hands now, and just getting back into modelling after many years away from the hobby, and I find your videos a great help. I find that so much has changed over the years, not only the quality of the models now available, but the many and varied accessories that can assist in making your model look just the way you like it. This video format is also very helpful, as it can be viewed many times. I look forward to many more of your quality instructional videos. Keep up the great work.
@@jdc121 I would say if you are a beginning modeler, go for the easy build kits, or snap kits. They are great, but you might still need to paint them. If you are comfortable with gluing and sanding, go for the Tamiya and Revell kits. They have lots of detail, and if you finish one nicely, it will look spectacular!
The Normandy look is good. I’m just finishing a Wespe referencing your Wespe build and will add some of these Marder AK techniques to blend in with the planned diorama.
Es una pena no ver el trabajo terminado con las figuras. De todas maneras es excelente la lección. Muchas gracias por dedicar su tiempo. el resultado es magnífico. Un abrazo desde España
Great work, Andy, I really enjoy watching you build and paint all those models. I'd only add a metal barrel instead of plastic one, but that's unnecessary. Thanks
Great video Andy, building this at the moment and although the manual states the top should be temporarily fixed for the life of me I cannot see why. Anyway will put together as you did, nice work with the leaves also. 👍👍👍👍👍
Can you show any aftermarket parts? i.e. brass shells and gun barrels. I've been watching your channel for a while, and I think it's fantastic. Keep up the good work Andy.
Hey andy! When you start your Maus build i suggest watching the video by World of Tanks called "outside the hatch" maus video to maybe get ideas or to see just how big the tank really is
Awesome! I love the Marder III more than any other Marder... Don't know what the ''M'' stand 4... Usually they were named like sdkf 153 or something like it...
Good subject. It would look nice on your bridge diorama base. I share your thrill as you do the kit. I guess you edit parts clean up. I have to say, I like the plastic color. Fun fun fun. Nice presentation. I would not enjoy doing this posting stuff as I really prefer to watch or listen to t.v. as I hobby. Much like Richard Dreyfus in Close Encounters with the t.v. going as he made the mountain in his living room. That would be a video killer. How can you do no painting? Even airbrushing later would be hard assembled. Good times. Thanks.
@@thingsthatfly6055 there was a model andy showed that was a model of the maus with its interior. Not sure if it's 100% accurate but he said he would do it
What is the Dark Yellow (it certainly doesn’t look like Tamiya’s Dark Yellow: XF60)...? I see a “mission models” pot - but what is the actual reference for that paint?
Great model and tutorial Andy. I'm curious how well the leaves on the foliage will hold up over time. As a decaying biological substance I would think they would become very fragile unless you could treat them with some kind of preservative. Any thoughts?
Anyone ever tell you that you look like john Billingsley? Also...what is the turntable that you have for your cement? We need one for our club....badly. our club is Wounded modelers of Tampa Bay and a lot of our members have neurological disorders that make them shake....the caddy you are using would be great to prevent spills.
