"what did you do, grandpa Ty, in the great pandemic?", Me "I carried on working and didn't worry about anything because I saw through the big con, and watched Nightshift build an awesome Tiger tank".
Hi. I would just like to say two things. First, your models are amazing and your videos are brilliant, so thank you for making both. Second, you are the only non Japanese RU-vid model maker I have heard who says Tamiya's name correctly! All the others say either "tam EYE uh" or "tam EE ya", both of which are flat wrong, so thank you for that too! Keep up the good work Mr. Kovac!
That's something that drives me nuts...when a modeler uses literally one color of dirt for not only the tracks, but the lower hull and wheels too. Just looking at pictures of real vehicles shows how many layers there are to dirt. I'm happy you are showing this way of doing tracks, I wish people will take this info and...USE IT!!!! Lol
Yeah, but then again tracks in real life are also quite boring. When it's wet, they're just covered in dark glossy mud. When it's dry, they're either rusty or dusty. These "ideal conditions" where you have dry, damp and wet textures are very rare :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels yes, but I'm talking about there is more than "brown" dirt. Lol. As someone who crewed armored vehicles, especially in Germany, it's amazing how many colors you can get and where. Light tannish grey in graf, darker in hoenfels, where I was we had an area called Area Mike. It's nickname was Area Mudd. Lol...sink holes, and there was literally something wrong with the ground. It was always a baby poop brown. After my division left, they made it a wildlife sanctuary because the ground couldn't handle buildings. You know when you destroy ground so much, it remains soupy. Hahahahaha. I was trying to say, you add depth, when so many just plop brown or buff on a model and call it a day.

Amazing channel broham, not a tank modeler (don't judge me) but i'll use your techniques on my planes to give them that little something they miss. Thank you for being so informative in explaining. 🤘
I agree with your opinion on tracks being the crowning jewels of a vehicle. Ive been working on an SdKfz 10 from Dragon and when I looked at the magic tracks, I decided to order some metal tracks and use the magic tracks for a wreck, or a deserted field workshop.
There is just something so extremly satisfying about movable metal tracks. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="770">12:50</a> And what do you mean they do not look like much on theis own?!? They look amazing!!!
I definatly wouldn't use Aceton because i hate the smell I'd isopropyl but hey I'm building the first model a revell bf109 g10 but there are a few parts missing so i'll probably just use it to "train" a bit for früher models
All very nice for you when you get given all this stuff for free; but you should at least tell your viewers how they can do this without spending £15 on yet another thing needed to make their model tank look as good as yours.
Dec 21, 2021, and livin' the dream... I wonder how far one can go with these...to perhaps suggest how much sun is on the tank instead of an overcast day...whether the light on it is broken by branches, etc.
Thank you! I don't have much interest in interiors tbh, they're almost completely out of sight most of the time, and I don't like displaying models "disassembled" just for the sake of showing the interior.
Where do you get wilder products in europe? I've tried looking everywhere, but cannot find any shop that sells them. Also yes I'm still alive, I just got rusty with my puns :(
Yeah, Counterforce. But to answer your question, I received the Wilder stuff for free directly from Adam several years ago, before I even thought about doing videos, back in the day when I was writing articles and stuff like that... so, for promotion. But I like his acrylic products so much that I keep using them to this day :)
Very informative and entertaining video. Unfortunately, my patience level, especially when it comes to assembling and weathering metal tracks is virtually non-existent so following this method is out of the question. That's why I normally use burnishing fluid. Some day I may attempt this method.
Martin, what type of air brush do you use for small, detail work? And is it different than the one you use for larger areas? I've started into weathering with models lately,and am getting a real kick out of it! I love watching your videos, so instructive and you present in such an entertaining manner! You are the best! Thanks!
You are the best I have seen. I try not to miss any of your videos. But utube doesn't send them out.. but that's ok I look till I find them. I just started back into building models. It's been a jery long time. I Lear so much from you. I would like to say thank you for your time and videos.
good evening, bravo , i watch almost on you video . i am a medium beginnerr and i jut wander how to make the tracks sagging on plastic ones ( this is an old Airfix Tiger ) . Thank you for any tips . Awaiting for your last video . Greeting from France . Best Regards . Laurent Deckers .
Martin i use all the vms products love all there products but i use them my own way the black track pro product i us it the same way that you were using it i love the dirt that is left on when you use the track pro good stuff i do use the Acid bath the clear stuff it does make a difference in the outcome. Awesome video keep up the excellent work 👍
Great video, dude. I watched your KV1 series and i decided to do a test with using hairspray over satin varnish after seeing the result of the heavy chipping fluid, i have to say the results came out nicer with the hairspray, maybe you could do a comparison on it in between large projects.
It is one of that moment when I regret that there is no Friulmodel tracks in 1/72 scale. But maybe in future they will do them? :D Great tutorial, as always. All the best for You! ;)
