Building the Trumpeter GRILLE 30 super heavy mortar with late war Camouflage and weathering 

These videos are the reason I got back into model building

sheds a tear for marvelous German engineering

I haven't built a model in decades but still enjoy watching your vids. I'm fighting the urge to get back into the hobby, lol.

Always cool. This helps me with decisions on future buying of kits because of your fine reviews and builds. Thanks!!

You outdone yourself on this project. Very fine camouflage.

I love the Trumpeter brand. The paint finish of the model is very good.

Thank you for the tip about keeping one side of the tape on the pe until after cutting. I've built a lot of trumpeter and hobby boss kits but I've never done that. I always get that slight curling of the pe.

Nice build again . Learnt so much from your uploads ,Thanks

Hey Andy. I would love to see you take a regular tank kit, and assamble and paint if as if it was taken out. Burn marks, bullet impacts, maybe even rust? Anyways, love your work.

Excellent built, the weathering is great with the blending.

Great paint job. Love the simple camoflauge.

What a great build! Thanks for producing this great content it's always very interisting to watch the videos because they are very informativ and you are a very very great modell builder. I can't wait for the next video. :)

Another great video Andy. Happy to hear things are happening for you and the channel. Looking forward to it.

Awesome looking beast , Andy , loved a lot the paint job .Learned a lot of your weathering style. Keep up the great work !!! Grtz from Belgium.

Well done Andy!!! This is truly an amazing kit that I MUST get for my collection!

Great work Andy! Gave me tons of inspiration for weathering my 1/72 Panther. Keep em coming!

Hi Andy You have completed another great build, this one is not one I would like myself, but then In watch just to get some ideas. Keep up the excellent work. Les

Amazing very talented and skilled model maker ive subscribed from the united kingdom

Love your vids keep making them Also you have the best modelling channel on youtube

As usual Andy great job on this kit, I learn a lot everytime I watch a new video. Currently I'm building a Trumpeter LAV 25, Australian edition. Keep up the good work sir

I got the similar model to this not long ago, the Geschutzwagen Tiger fur 17cm, also from trumpeter, i have to say it will be one hell of a build! The gun platform is open top and well detailed inside and also comes with a well detailed engine. Its a monster like this kit! Great video as always!

nice build looking forward to the competitions :)

Hi Andy great kit. I enjoy watching your videos and are great help to me with my armour here in New Zealand. Look forward to the next video

Nice build! Contest sound great.

Thank you for making another great video!!!

Greetings from Poland (my name is Paul). I bought this model today and I've already started working on it. You know, the tank seems bigger, but it really is small. cool painting and a very powerful guide on how to finish the model. I watch your movies on a regular basis. Thank you very much for your help and best regards.

Thanks for sharing it was very informative...

Andy. Thanks for sharing another excellent military vehicle build. I am really looking forward to see you do some figurines to go with the armor.

I wish I was as dedicated and as skilled as you Andy.

Just watch this video , absolutely love the look of it , got on to eBay and tracked a kit down and ordered one

6:05 looks like a cartoon tank! Lol, great work Andy! Keep it up! Hello from Canada!

Amazing build.

Enjoyed your work. Thank you for effort.

Tanks are just amazing

i learn more history from your videos than i did in my history classes! keep up the good work!

thnx for this vid... been waitin for the grille 30

That things a monster. Thanks Andy.

That is an amazing kit looks easy to build to

That's one crazy big kit nice job

Interesting vehicle nice build.

Cool looking model Andy!

Another master piece ,well done Andy

Great work Andy!

Great video Andy, loved it

Never seen this model before, it's pretty cool, and derpy.

Looks great mate

Well choosen music for the paint jobs. Blue Danube. Seems fitting.

Thanks Andy!

Great looking tank

Incredible!!!

depend on how serious about accuracy and how good you want your model to look. I believe all armored fighting Vehicles where painted by spray. you can go out and buy inexpensive camouflage spray paints in a can.

thanks for another great video, Andy! would you mind sharing your airbrush PSI settings , and if you change it between, say, the close-up work and the long-distance buff coat?

Idk why, but I love these paper/fictional tanks.

I'm a big fan of red oxide primer on my very late, and often "what if", builds and I just like the warm tone it makes - and how it takes subtle weathering so well - like you just did! Well done by the way. A few sponsored competitions are also great - for all of us! You get freebies to hand out, they get free advertising and we get the remote chance of winning something ;) Question: Have you tried the Mr.Paint paints? They're supposedly much like Tamiya acrylics in how they behave but with almost 350 different colours... (including the 50 they're just about to release) I love Tamiya mixed with iso but they're a bit limited with regards to their colours and mixing your own is never 100%, especially if you run out of mixed paint on a model and have to make more... I know, plan ahead but we've all been there...

Another excellent build Andy. Ever thought about opening a branch shop in southern Maine? Sure could use a great model shop here!

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is based on the Lowe chassis vs the "stretched Tiger 2". Beautiful build as always!

For those of you who didn’t stop and think about it the grille 17 is essentially the jagpanzer E-100 and this thing could also be called the sturmpanzer E-100

Hi i love your paints! However, i think you should do some brush painting tutorials because not everyone has a fancy airbrush :)

looks great)+

Good as usual.

Great job as usual , Andy. You have a passion and enthusiasm for models that is quite refreshing. Keeping it simple and fun. I've been building models for 45+ years and I think you do excellant work. By the way, I just received one of your t shirts and now I'm in with the in crowd.

Woah dang thats good!!!

Another great build - verging on being a 1946 what if tank. If you want to see tanks that never were or only got as far as the prototype stage look at the World of Tanks game - it's full of them! ;-)

That would blend in out here in the desert. We have red oxide dirt and yellow sands.

could you do a video were you just paint with some classical music, it's really soothing

It would be interesting to see a little bit of concrete, or brick, debris scattered across the hull from where chunks came off from a nearby building. But, love the job. Well done!

another awesome build,thank you. by the Way can you do the IS7 / IS3 tank please. thanks and more power

That door at the bottom could be either the anchor or the door for the empty shells to pop out

Hey! I recently got back into scale modelling, and these videos are awesome. By any chance, do you think you could do a build of the Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog? It's a really inexpensive kit that's loads of fun to build.

I want to have those modeling tools, I don't even have cement!

Hi Andy just want to say love each & every video you post I have recently come back to modelling & I've learned a lot from your builds. But I have had problems with your wish technique where you use an enamel thinner first I tried it but I got a horrible patches that I could not remove can you tell exactly what you use for this please yours Carm

Cant beat the Blue Danube waltz!!

Looks cute

How many models do you build a month?

Let's get started............

Can u try and do a figure tutorial would like to see that

Does anyone know what the correct metal tracks for this kit would be?

Hey Andy! I just love your models. Very realistic! I have a question: Do you by any chance have any Alpine figures? Thanks!

that thign at the rear end could not only be for leveling the gun but also as a firing anchor like the spades on the m40 back. to prevent the vehicle to roll back way more then needed

great video! i absolutely love your way of building. are you planning on making some real tutorial videos of some of your techniques? would be awesome! ps. is there a way to share my projects to you? i'm only fourteen and I want to hear what I did right and wrong.

is that thing on the bottom lowered for recoil management?

could you try one of trumpeter's other paper panzers like the e-50 or e-75?

Hellou Andy I watch your videos for a long time, your models are amazing thanks for inspiration. I hope you will make some german WW2 Sdkfz 251/1 from Tamiya pleas.

Can you do a T-72 in modern use?

What is the name of the little spray painter he uses for the camouflage

Hi Andy, whats your take on airbrushes? ie cheap ones vs expensive and what brands. Thanks

What airbrush needle and compressor did you use

Andy do the new AFV Club M113ACAV,beats Academys hands down.Pricey,but nice

Andy i have a question but its out of the topic, how do you cut the long thin part from the sprue and clean it? Im always struggling with long thin part. Thanks in advance 😊

Andy thank you so much for all the tutorials,congratuliations from Mexico, Tabasco... please keep doing like this please, I wolud like to ask you if you can make a T-90 please the MENG ts-006 is preaty cool, i need your help becasue im stuck in the progress I need some one tu push me to continue plesse help me

ooo A contest :O

Aw sweet, if it was actually built, even if it was just a prototype, that means gaijube might add it to warthunder. Hopefully.

Where do you buy all your models?

Hi. If you like a change on your builds, you could try Takom's G6 Rhino 1/35 scale No. 2052. It is something different.

I WANT ONE

Andy, I apologize for asking so often but I forgot your email for the banner

Hi Andy. Why don't you build Tamiya Stuka zu fuss 1:35...

Hey Andy! Nice vid! I need some help with my airbrush. Im pretty new with it, but I bought it for like 130$. I really dont know how to messuer the paint with water ( I use vallejo Model Air colors) and I have my compressor in about 20 PSI. When I "paint" with it, it usually splattern, I add water, and it just gets messy...I would really like some help with this. Have a nice day, sir.

Even though this kit has those terrible tracks, it is at least reasonably priced (I've seen it at around 40 on some sites). The geschhutzwagen 17cm and 21cm kits which both make use of the same extended konigstiger hull came with the same crappy tracks but cost way more (most sites sell them for 80-100). They are open topped fighting compartments so there is more detail, but i still don't think it is worth their asking price. They should have at least included decent tracks. Fortunately, i found both geschhutzwagen kits for really cheap.
