TAMIYA T-34 FULL BUILD VIDEO BUILD  

First rule of model building: HAVE FUN! Don't worry about what Everyone else thanks. C'mon You know that rule ! I think it looks great.

Well done mate. Lovely finish. You ask about weathering rules? There are NO rules mate. I love my weathering - just do what feels right and persist with the hairspray. Two light coats only. Then let dry and spray top coat. Go easy gets the finer chips - just takes a little patience.

0:56AM, alarm set for 5:00AM. nevermind let's watch another video of Alex having fun.

amazing idea with three level colours scrapping, almost like in real :)

You have people from all over (world wide) that appreciate your calm builds. Please .......keep them coming. Great to have you back. 👍

Just a 1/2C thought. The 76.2mm F-34 gun used on the T-34 and the ZiS-5 gun used on the KV-1 are almost the same gun. The main difference is the ZiS-5 gun mounts move the gun farther forward to allow more room in the turret. So even if you order a T-34 76.2mm F-34 gun barrel and you get a 76.2mm ZiS-5 gun barrel they should be the same.

Well, I see a problem right from the start, you're drinking coffee. You know you do your best work when you're sipping on the Scotch!!!😅😅😅

I've never built a tank in my life Alex, I don't see anything there to apologise for. In fact the closer your camera got in the final reveal the more I was blown away. That "throw a quick coat of paint over the chipping before the General sees it" (my term) actually looks inspired. Great result again, and another Alex Modeling episode I shall no doubt watch many more times since I now have to build one.

My son has picked up modeling and he trying to be as exact as possible intell him to have fun with it. I got that from watching your videos.

Very good kit for its age and price. We all know OOTB it's an easy fun nostalgia build, and should be treated as such. Standoff it looks like a T-34/76 '42 or 43' (both versions in the kit), and the level of detail is commensurate for it's tooling and market release nearly 50 years ago. It is what it is. Sows ear into a silk purse and all that. Want more detail? Buy a more expensive contemporary tooled kit with it.

Fabulous build ....the T34 looks superb...thanks for sharing I have the same model to build........ hoping it looks something like yours

Great build!😍 If you ask me this hobby is all about having fun and the only person you have to please is yourself👍. Good to see you back to modeling, like your calm and joyful way of showing your work! Hope that you are ok and safe!😊👍

Love it, it deserves a diorama

Great build - I’ve just bought the same Tamiya kit - so this has given me inspiration! Don’t beat yourself up about the tracks - enjoying yourself is the most important !

Good to see you back. The only rule, I thought was have fun.

Excellent weathering. 1st T-34 paint job that hasn't bored me!

Hello from Estonia! I all-ready some time watch you stuff. Found you couple year a go, looking Portugal modelers and stuff. Because I am my self modeler and also year 2019 I worked in Portugal, Leiria and Marinha Grande in the forest (we helped to realize 2017 burned Mata Nacionale- that's what happened was very sad!, I hope now new trees growing nicely) . Learned to know about friendly Portugal people and very beautiful nature and cities, and good food and music too. Anyway, now i am little fan of Portugal and its good to see model stuff too. This T-34 is very nice, you work of weathering is very good-keep on going! This tank I have real time touched my own hand, we have couple of these our museums. As well I made couple models of this, one 1/35 and second 1/72 scale, last one is my favorite scale. I have couple videos my first years modeling too here YT, this is right now work in progress to make and learn masters like you and Night shift and etc...;) Now I wish you continuing joy and mojo for modelling and keep safe and healthy! Boa Noite da Estônia! (Head ööd Eestist!)

Greatest work, painting just excellent, but machine gun drooped

Excellent work.The weathering is amazing.

Looks great! That chipping effect turned out very nicely... depth of colour and surface texture is superb.

Nice to see you back I've always loved your builds.

Super seeing you back, Alex....it's always a good thing to take a break, re-charge and come back stronger and excited to start again. Really enjoyed watching this build....a little respite from the the Victory....and a stellar job yet again.

Excellent. Looks just like it would after being left outdoors for 20 years.

Great job! Don't apologize!

Sure looks like you were having a great time during the build. I am glad to see you back at it again my brother, I"ve been missing your builds. I'm very happy 😁😁😁😁 to see you building model kits again, remember build models for fun, in your own words always build with a smile be safe and God be with you.

Super work Alex!!!

Hey Alex, I always like and appreciate your builds and videos. Excellent weathering and chipping effects. It was a brilliant move on painting white on the decals to ive it a hand brushed look, never seen that or even thought about it. I think the rubber tracks aren't that bad with a little work. Rules for weathering tanks, have fun and do it however you like, there are no real rules in modeling other than to enjoy your self and have fun, its all about that smile. I am glad you got a break from work to relax and enjoy yourself. Again excellent build and video. Have a great weekend and stay safe and healthy brother. See you on the next episode. 👍👍🇵🇹🤝🇺🇸

beautiful build alex, love watching you work. nice and relexing. at the minute im not having fun making videos at the moment.

So now u need to build KV tank now!

Bravo mate. Classic kit and you've done a fantastic job of it

Bonjour mon ami Alex 😉👍😍 Hello Alex 👍😉I enjoy watching your job 💪💪great T34 nice kit tamiya 👍congrats buddy good morning of France 👍🇫🇷😉

Nice build, as usual. Glad to see you are back on business...

Amazing work! Well Done!!

Wow really nicely done

Good to see you building again, nice build :)

Once again, great work.

From what we see- it really went thru hell...well done.👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent build. I also did this kit as a Kursk participant but I did the Uralmash stamped turret just cause thats my favorite version. Like what you did with the green oil paint. I tried to use it more like a filter but didnt like the look, you used yours more selectively in smaller areas.

Looks Amazing! I mix up weathering sequences to, no biggie. The end result is all that matters and I think you nailed it! Model on my friend!

Hey Alex, good to see your videos again, I was stoked to see that you posted something. Nice job and keep up the excellent work.

As always, a great build and good informative video. It is about having fun and a good time building it. Keep up the good work, greetings from CPH 🇩🇰

Fico lindo ( nao pode faltar o cafe👍 ) keep safe e espero mais

Great work, awesome result. We all have our own way of doing things....do whatever works for you. Even mistakes are a learning experience. Fun, fun, fun...nothing else matters ☺️👍

Beautiful Russian Tank :) Very Well detailed !

Surprising so few parts

Fantastic build and an enjoyable video.....making mistakes is the only way to learn 👍

looks great alex! good job buddy!

Nice One! Cheers

Awesome!

i like it

Thank you for always great videos and useful information. Have a healthy and happy day. 💪😊😊😊💪

Another great video alex it is such a pleasure to watch them. I am glad those tools came in handy for u.

Welcome back, it's been a while...When you said you don't know the rules for weathering? There aren't any it's your model to build and paint how ever you like, this is supposed to be a fun hobby, and yes there are rivet counters but they don't count, just enjoy yourself and don't worry about the serious ones...

A fantastic build. Cant get on with Mission Models paints my self but you have done a terrific job. Great work all round

Te ha quedado genial 😁 👌 como todo lo que haces

I think it looks great :)

The legend is back. 🤗

Beautiful

Glad to see you took time for yourself my friend. I built this one awhile back and, as usual, it’s nowhere near as good as yours! Well done 👍

Diesel mech on armoured vehicles for my coutry here diesel is not brown but it does stick to paint and gets couted in dust which turns it into black spots people underestemate how dirty tanker and technical service members hands are so youll see dark marks around handles and some paint off ,boots arent harder then steel but they do take off paint after a while ,we do not care how bolt heads look or if they get damaged if the they turn its fine and you will become instantly coated in soot just by looking at a talk engine or exhaust.

First to click! I love the T-34. This will be awesome.

Ugh man... my T-34 would never looked that good 😩 ill buy another one and try your way

aconselho-te a veres o canal "plasmo", em relação a weathering de tanques... mas olha que não esta nada mau... muito melhor do que qualquer coisa que eu monte/pinte... já agora deixo-te a sugestão de fazeres 1 M5A1 Stuart Português "Licas"

Any chance of a figure painting master class ??

Excellent work, a supreme finish, you got a lot out of an old model, my only suggestion is that maybe you can add a little dust on the horizontal surfaces, since as we know the tanks always walk in the middle of a cloud of dust. Finally, a little gunpowder smoke can also be added to the muzzle to simulate intense use of the weapon. I send you a big greeting from México.

Good demonstration of techniques but weathering WAY too heavily done. It looks like a tank that's been sitting in a field for 70 years. I think armour modellers in general apply too much weathering for simple lack of colour photos from WW2.

Where can I buy these exact models?

Boas Alex. Muito fixe. Queria uma opinião tua. Achas que devia fazer vídeos sem falar. Grande abraço, tudo de bom para ti e tua família.

Alex, és português? Pêlo teu logotipo assim parece. Estou a começar a montar este tanque e estou a adorar o teu filme. Parabéns!

Awesome work minha amiga! Love the heavy weathering on this Soviet beast, it fits perfectly. Good to see you enjoy all sorts of kits equally and you are certainly very talented in all those scale modelling genres :)

I have only done three models and they all turned garbage will this model be easy to do for someone that has barely done any

where is hms victory?
