The Tiger II - properly the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B - was known informally as the King Tiger by Allied crews, or Königstiger in German. At almost 70 tons under combat load it was a monster by any measure, and came with all the usual faults of heavy German armour designed and built late in the war - a mechanically unreliable fuel guzzler that would lead to more far more losses than enemy combat actions.
Still, when the Tiger II was actually in operation, it ruled the battlefield. Terrifically well-armoured it was nigh impenetrable to all but the heaviest Allied anti-tank weaponry, and the deadly 8.8cm KwK 43 gun in its turret would penetrate enemy vehicles at ranges past two kilometers!

Yay tank painting videos! Really wished my gaming area wasn't a historical games dead zone

@lexi_9995 2 года назад

Glad to see you using the soft pencil. You may recall I reminded you of this a few weeks ago, simple and effective.

@Sturmensky 2 года назад

Sad that youtube borked my notifications. Another great video and - better yet - on my favorite WW2 tank!

@johnkelley9877 2 года назад

The model looks great! Having looked through many books on German WWII AFV's You can see all sorts of camouflage patterns from stripes,sprayed camouflage as well as hard edge camouflage. Thanks for sharing this.

Mmmmm might need this for a tank from Bolt Action. Thanks for the inspiration!

@irishtom30 Год назад

Need to see that next to a 1/56 scale panzer II, I bet they'd be close in size!

@escaperealityhobbies 2 года назад

Great techniques! QUESTION for you... :) Have you ever considered doing any videos or a series on you painting Terrain Pieces?!!! Either pre-made, 3D printed or scratch-built? I'm thinking your viewers would thoroughly enjoy that! Nothing too big and daunting, but maybe some medium to small-sized stuff like what you see with CASTnPLAY (I think that's their name) on My Mini Factory... Just a shameful self-centered request.... but I DO think others would love it! :) Keep on doing what you do! - Tom

I've never thought about the whole light theory thing. I was painting some German Zombies from a ww2 weird world war game and when I was finished with the armor plates (yes the zombies have armor plates on them..because why not) were waaay too dark when I finished. makes some sense now. Also do you do the voice over after you record or during?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

It still manages to surprise me when I try painting small-scale miniatures, too. Every day's a physics lesson! 😂

@mikemodels928 2 года назад

Incredible results for paint brushing. Since i am mostly building big models in 1/35 i use an airbrush for it but i found ur video very entertaining.

@Svemirsky 2 года назад

I have a question but it's more of a technical one😊 I'm planning to build some AFVs with my nephiew and would like to record the process - so what kind of camera/setup would you recommend us to use?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

I couldn't tell you much, honestly! I record on my phone. 😅 As long as you've got a boom that'll clamp to your desk and light enough for the camera to see, most mobile phones will do the job just fine.

@rickyl3136 2 года назад

Great video, definitely going to try out the pencil trick. One question if you don't mind should you varnish after applying the pencil trick or just touch up if it gets worn off?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

I haven't found it necessary over time to touch up the pencil, but you can varnish again afterwards if you'd prefer it stay exactly as it's been left.

@robisonwells1 2 года назад

Looks great! Different subject: I've been trying to find your recipe for Marine Juice but can't find the video where you give it.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

I was sure I'd put it in the description as well for each video where it appears, but I've been forgetting a lot of things recently. It's equal parts Nuln Oil, Reikland Fleshshade, and Lahmian Medium.

@DarkWatch-Ian 2 года назад

Hi Sonic. What a breath of fresh air. Nicely done. You're really talented. One question though please? Transfers kinda make me nervous, but you make it look so easy. Do you use any transfer solution before and after. Seen people use micro sol and set? Or do you just use water and let them dry natural, then just matt varnish the models? Sorry for going on, but I feel confident asking you. Feel like I'm painting along with a good friend. Thank you. Kind regards Ian.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

Ordinarily the only time you'll have trouble with transfers is if you're applying them to something with a prominent curve or something with a lot of texture underneath. These ones I've applied just with water and the varnish over the top, no problem. For curved surfaces I'd suggest Micro Set and Micro Sol - the Crimson Fists painting video is probably the best example of those two in action, if it helps!

@DarkWatch-Ian 2 года назад

Thanks for the reply and information. I really appreciate it. Your a good one. Can't wait to see what you do next. I look forward to your tutorials, that's why you have a loyal fan base who really loves you and appreciate your help and inspiration. Thanks again my friend. Kind regards Ian

@anselmvondahl2881 2 года назад

That looks great, but is there any particular reason you used the pencil after the varnish? I'd be concerned over it rubbing off from handling.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

The slightly textured surface that you get from a matt varnish works a little better to buff the pencil in the places you need. I've not had it be an issue with rubbing off during play, but if all else fails you could just give it a second spritz with the varnish and it'll likely be fine.

@anselmvondahl2881 2 года назад

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Gotcha. Thanks.

@James-lr3xg 2 года назад

the Vajjelo Mat spray isn't normally available were I am. Are there other brands you would recommend?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

Testor's Dullcote is supposed to be really good, but also a little difficult to source these days. Citadel's Munitorum Varnish is nice, though it has a slight satin finish instead of a pure matt.

@ChuckThatNorris 2 года назад

What camo colours would you recommend for similar look for 1/56 ? Maybe little darker

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

There's a couple other German vehicle painting guides on the channel, but the short answer is anything like US Dark Green, and Mahogany Brown or German Camo Medium Brown for the others. The Green Ochre is still pretty much perfect at 1/56.

@ChuckThatNorris 2 года назад

@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Thank you! Would you still use strong tone with those colours to keep them vibrant and bright ?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

@@ChuckThatNorris Thinned out like this, Strong Tone will still work really well on the larger miniatures. I use it on my own Bolt Action stuff!

@huwtindall7096 2 года назад

Do you prefer the historicals, fantasy or sci-fi minis in general?

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

Ask me to pick a favourite child, why not? 😂 Truth is that you could ask me this question three times across three months and you'd probably get a different answer each time.

@Fredeye63 2 года назад

It's good but I'm surprised you didn't put mud/muck in the road wheels or a couple layers of dry brushed dusting...like your Allied vehicles. I like it though. Good job

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

Mostly it's down to 15mm figures starting to be a little hard to see once you add an excess of weathering on them.

@chroniclerisiah5536 2 года назад

Great tutorial as always. But the small scale bright paints light trick idea isn’t quite working for me. Too bright 😔.

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

That's fair enough. The same method works just fine with darker paints, too - US Dark Green is my usual pick for larger scales, which would work pretty wel here.

@richardrussell7082 2 года назад

Really? They launch this kit on D-Day? 🤣😂😜

@SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 года назад

Well, yeah? A few Tiger II were active during the Normandy campaign, so it's not as if it isn't relevant. Everyone already does Sherman kits in plastic, after all! 😅
