Building the Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf J including painting and weathering 

I personally think the classical music really represent the relaxation of building scale models.

One correction for you. You said that the channel exploded in about a year "because of you guys." No, it exploded because of you. You make some great looking models. Congratulations on the one anniversary! Happy Modeling.

Been building since I was 8 years old, (I'm 56 now), and I really enjoy your videos, especially the painting and weathering.

Andy your videos and builds are incredible. "We" are lucky to have you sir. Thank you for all of your videos and advise.

Congrats on your 1 year anniversary! You are the top of my watch list. Thanks for putting in so much time in your videos.

Thanks Andy for helping fellow modelers, improving and enhancing our hobby...love your work cheers mate

I like the classical music you play,it relaxes me while I watch you building your models. It's great,Thanks Andy.

You made me do this hobby ! it helps me a lot since im so stressed ! thankyou sir

Just got back into making models, it's been at least 10 years since I built anything. Your videos have been a great help. Just built a Panzer 4 and ME 262.

I've wanted this kit for some years now and before opening it I watched this. It helped me a lot, the panzer IV is one of my favourite tanks of all time. You helped it look better than I could ever have made it. Thank you.

Congratulations on the anniversary! Always enjoy watching your videos, especially at work (when I'd rather be home working on a kit). I'm envious of your speed builds - I frequently get hung up on minute details on my own builds and have a hard time keeping up momentum, frequently turning a 1 week build into a month-long odyssey. I like hearing any tips and tricks you have to share, as well as when you demo new gear or techniques.

thank you for the time you take to show us great hint and tips, Thank you

Andy, thanks. I'm about to reenter the armor construction process after about 30 years of being out of it. I'm watching your videos for lessons. Will add extra parts and weathering techniques have changed so much since I was last in the hobby.

Really enjoy watching your videos Andy and get inspiration even over the pond in Scotland. Always liked the P4 in all its guises. I have the older Panzer 4D in my stash but these two look fab and so will have to look into adding to my collection.

Great video as always Andy. Keep them coming

Great build, always inspiring!

Just to let you know that I have started to rerun your videos so that I can keep picking up more great tips on how to improve my technique on weathering painting chipping so thank you for all the help in your video Steve 🇬🇧

this is one nice and useful video as it shows paints used to finish the model, thank you

Always love your videos Andy mate. You are really good at explaining and mention every detail.

FANTASTIC TUTORIAL

I agree Andy this is a good kit and builds up really nicely

JUST GOT THIS KIT, GLAD YOU HAVE A VIDEO FOR IT, THANX ANDY, AS ALWAYS!

Thank you Andy! Enjoy visiting you, and buying from your shop, in Glendale Arizona.

Amazing, Andy!

Awesome job Andy! Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to produce not just how to videos, but outstanding ones. You are easy to understand and easy to follow. Your demonstrations etc. Your subject matter and diversity of kit manufacturers which has helped us in making our decisions.

One of the most beautiful tanks ever build (in real life and modeling). Congrats to your amazing skills and way of explaining and videoing everything. You are my 1st RU-vid choice for military model building.

These videos are great and very informative. Fun to watch

Greeting from Hong Kong. I've watched most of your videos, they are all great and very informative. Keep up the great work.

So glad I found this channel. It is awesome.

im 12 years old boy from Finland and i try to make gold model kits and you (Andy) have been help me to make my models much better

Excellent Andy. Modelling uses so many great craft skills. Modelling is superb.

Andy,,love your channel!! I've recently started building models again, and I was going through a lot of channels looking for hints and ideas. Although there's a great deal channels out there, with great hosts. But you are by far the best. I've been watching for a few months now, and I'm learning so many things. You make everything simple and easy, with a lot of great ideas and info. Thanks, and looking forward to the next episode.

I've been doing modelling on and off now for years, but since watching your videos you have given my so many ideas on weathering and detail... top work my friend

Happy Anniversary Andy! I enjoy the videos,looking forward to the next year's builds.

These tutorials are brilliant Andy....love them, I,ve just started tank modelling as a change from aircraft and yr tank builds are just superb...as are the aircraft

Thanks got this one to do but not yet a confident model builder yet as returning to it after several years and also post stroke so not brilliant on hand control....great to have a full tutorial including the painting and paints used....really helpful Thanks

Gracias por mostrarnos tus técnicas de mejora en la maquetas, tomo buena información de tus vídeos

brilliant work again

Man I love this channel. Well done Andy :)

thanks like your work

Hi Andy. Always enjoy your videos

You’re telling me you stole Bugs Bunny’s music? Dude. Also you are living my dream! I worked retail management (brick/mortar) when it was a great paying career. My dream was to have a hobby shop. Sit behind the counter with a building station….hang out with customers. Sponser contests, toy drives around Christmas (kits of course). Now I’m past 70 but always have something going on.

Great vid, you make it all look so easy.

Great video and great build as always.

Congrats on your anniversary. Great channel for model builders.

I love these videos. I hope the shop makes money!

Awesome Andy

nice kit an looks really good even got good sag with rubber band type track cool

Nice work Andy!.. I have recently got an Airfix 1/35 Panzer 1V Ausf H.. cheers from down under👍🇳🇿

wow andy! i just ordered tamiya pz iv h literally half an hour ago and you put this video out, you're cool man. i know this is panzer iv j, but it is the same thing basically, sans the shurzen and some vision ports Andy, you are THE man!

Love your videos

Amazing work. Earned a sub !

Great build Andy. Good to see you have upgraded to a turn table to show off your work haha. Big thumbs up.

Hi Andy, Congratulations on the stats to date, you seem to be a happy man with them. As always another great build, do keep up the excellent work. Happy building, Les

honest to god you have the best model building channel on RU-vid. thank you for putting forth such a amazing effort.

Nice keep it up!

Building the same Tamiya Mk IV, making mine Syrian army from the 19 60's. Another great video, like to see you build Hobby boss T 35 late. Thank you!

After market side skirts ... that is very fitting to how the Pz IV was developed with constant modifications added, often in the field.

Another triumph Andy. Love the t shirt too

Andy, I enjoyed this video, as I'm preparing to do this build. It will be replacing my Dragon Pzkpfw IVJ that I backdated to be an early version, that I did as a Finnish Panzer 4. Its a great prep video.

Love your music choise here "Dovregubbens hall" by E Grieg Für Elise and the others aswell. Also I find your vids very informative and plesant to watch. I want to get into some AFV builds having done mostly aircraft for close to 30 years now.

Wow nice panzer I have been I the store for that kit

Just got a panzer 2 from tamiya. ( not going amazingly but it is me and I’m a bit of a noob.) thanks this video is really helping wish. me luck in hopefully saving my tank.

I was just going through RU-vid & I came across your video & wow, that's all I can say. I have been meaning to start making models again, I should explain I had a stroke about 5 years ago & I'm almost because of my legs & my right arm house bound, I do get out but not a lot, so I thought doing models would be a great hobby for me, I am going to get a model & make it, thanks for your video I have made the subscription & paid 1.99 a month to your site so I shall be watching your video from now on,

wow Andy awesome video I think I need to get me one of these tammy kits to go wit my dragon one I got keep them coming

My favorite tank, not favorite but quintessential in my mind!

Panzer IV was like a first love that I couldn't get swept out of my mind since childhood days and I bought and build this Tamiya Panzzer IV just 2 year ago just as a redeeming purpose.

Hi Andy, I've been watching some of your videos and I've also subscribed to your channel. Making models was a hobby of mine when I was younger, but sadly currently I don't have much time and money to spare for this hobby. But, I still find watching channels like yours very entertaining and informative. I hope one day I'll be able to pick up the hobby once again. In the meantime, keep up the good work. I wish you all the best for your channel and your store. Cheers!

Congratulations on a year. I really enjoy your videos.

When are you going to build a 1:1 scale Panzer?

again great build and painting :) greatings from The Netherlands :)

I wonder if anyone giving a thumbs down can actually do a better job; and as modestly and unpretentious as the presenter. Awesome work!

I started building models when I was 7 years old and now I'm 56 and still learning. The costs have went sky high and it's a wonder that anyone can afford to build anymore. I love the Tamiya kits but as I said the costs keep me from building as often as I'd like to. I love the video's so keep making them. It must be nice to own a hobby shop cause I always thought that it would be my dream job doing what you liked every day! :-) lol

U deserve more subscribers, 2 thumbs up for effort!

Nice build thanks' for the video they have inspired me to continue with my hobby! will keep watch, greeting from your Puerto Rico fan.

Thanks for all the information and help. I wish you could be my local shop. The hobby shops in my area just don't get it. I am about to paint my 1/16th RC Tiger Tank ....wish me luck. I have learned all my airbrushing from you.

yet another great video, watched almost all your videos now while i build my kits, would love to see you do a build of the Tamiya JGSDF type 61.

Awesome build and I'm loving those wispy camo lines. By the way I'll take Tamiya over Dragon anytime!

Just got this model and this video was a big help. Don't know if you did, you didn't show it, but having trouble with installing the muffler. Directions aren't very clear and or a flaw in the model itself. Nothing lines up. Thanks for posting Andy. Great job!!!!

I love the hoice of music in hall of the mountain king is one of my favorites

日本では作りやすいキットの定番だと思います。ドイツの軍馬で主力戦車とは！これまた、いいね👍

Another great build. I 'm not sure if my computer's the only one, but I have a mute button if I didn't want the audio portion of the video, rather than moan about it! It's a build video, not Tamiya on Ice. Love watching your painting techniques and I've recently bought my first airbrush - not that I'll be abandoning the brushes completely.
