Weathering Hasegawa's Hitachi Zaxis 135 US Part 2 (finished)

- Опубліковано 24 січ 2021
- Part 2 of the Hitachi Zaxis 135US Excavator paint and weathering video, in which I finish Hasegawa's excellent 1/35 kit after taking it up to the initial weathering stages in Part 1
Using a limited palette of products including Mig Ammo, Vallejo and Humbrol I tried to replicate the following effects:
- Dry Dust on the upper part of the model
- Dry and Damp Mud on the tracks/running gear
- Wet effects to add texture to the mud
- Chipping and scratches on the orange base coat
- Oil/fluid leaks on the hydraulics and articulated sections
As always if you want to know anything at all or have any feedback please drop a comment, I do my best to reply to everyone
If you haven't already then please subcribe, and also head over to my facebook page and drop me a like on there. I post a lot of work in progress, always love a chat as well!
hope you've enjoyed this build, nice to get another model finished so soon after the King Tiger - I hope this is the start of a really good year for the channel
all the best

I came for the King Tiger videos, and stayed for this excavator! The bucket, dozer blade, and the multi-toned seat, and the dust and mud effects are real standouts in this build! I agree that an empty coffee cup, with some snack-wrappers on the floor of the cab and crammed in beside the seat would be a fantastic addition. The wet blending techniques you used with the oil and grease effects worked out fantastic as well. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Best regards,
Brendan
You are a master of weathering. Same level of skills like Plasmo.
I think a movie company should grab you to build sets. Great work.
That would be cool, as long as they don't mind waiting a looooong time for their props and sets!!
Really enjoyed the weathering on this one.
I really identified with that dust effect 'mistake' you were kicking yourself over. It's funny how we can obssess about an issue that 'we know is there' but still know that nobody viewing the model will ever notice it. As the saying goes "the difference between a good artist and a great one is how well you hide your mistakes" and to my eye you smashed it :)
Thanks. I really appreciate it, it's weird that we obsess over these things I agree but at the same time I think this is what pushes each of us to get better. I always like to highlight my mistakes or bits I don't think I did well in my videos in the hope that it normalises them with other modellers. Editing could have removed the mistake from the video and I doubt anyone would notice but I am just cheating myself doing that.
Bonjour mon ami 👍Hi friend
Awesome job 💪great looks
I enjoy watching your video 😎congrats buddy good morning of France 👍🇫🇷
Hi and thanks for watching, all the best from your near neighbours 🏴
Great stuff. This model deserves to be photographed outdoors in the sunlight. When you get a chance of course...
The weather is awful at the moment but I'd be interested to see how it looks in the sunlight
It's all about the detail and you certainly provided that in spades with the weathering sand stains. Awesome finish. Love the model.
Thanks I really appreciate that, I do love the details... They cost time but for me they're the best bit
Two thumbs up! You gave that thing a real weathering workout
Hi, yeah it deserved it though! A great subject for weathering I wish there were more like this out there
I have a Meng D9R in my stash, this will be perfect for those ‘how the hell do I get this effect’ moments. Awesome set of tutorials and much appreciated!
Hi Steve thanks for your kind words. I'm glad the content will be of help. Thanks for taking time to comment
That is absolutely phenomenal! Some amazing techniques that really make me consider my own weathering and how I can better my model railway weathering. Particularly love the dirt textures you’ve used and the depth you’ve achieved with the scratches. Looking forward to seeing some more models soon
Wow thanks for the compliment, I hope there's somethin in there you do use and it pays off for you!
Just what I needed today. Always great to hear your calming tones and that build is sublime !!! excellent mini series and your final images are perfect, amazing quality !
Thanks Ivan, my black country drone would be even better if I could get my settings right, sounds a bit tinny
Great video my friend excellent weathering some really helpful techniques there thanks for sharing stay safe 👍🙏
Great outcome to this project, a lot of attention to detail which makes to very realistic
Thanks Robert much appreciated!
Great model, having spent time on building sites, the cab would have quite a collection of empty food and drink wrappers, and newspapers!
This is a definite addition if I go ahead with a "phase 2" and put it on a base!
You're absolutely one of the best! A real talent. Keep it up!
Well that's quite the compliment thank you!
Great job Jon.
I thought the 3 D effect you achieved on the drivers seat in part one was really good with paint alone.
The mud applications in this part were really well done also.
Its good to see you're uploading to your channel again.
I noticed I still have a video of yours adding stowage to the back of a Sherman from years ago in my bookmarks.
Good work Jon all the best stay safe hopefully more from you soon.
Thanks Steve, man that stowage video is a very old one now... Those were the days. I have already done 2 videos and finished a model this month... That's more than the entire of 2018 and 2019 combined and equal to the whole of 2020, so hopefully I can maintain my momentum!! It is sad to see traffic so low on the channel after all that effort years ago but I will keep plugging away and hopefully get noticed again soon 😊
@@ScaleModelMedic Jon you're a class act I cant speak for anyone else but i'll always look forward to an upload from you. So more please.
Amazing finish, the weathering is superb. Judging by the first video this kit looks like a tricky build which makes your result all the better
Hi yes it's not the most straightforward kit but hasegawa have really done well with the kit its mostly just awkward to sequence, but I admit I'm glad to have it done, it's fragile and every day on the vg ch was another day closer to getting broken!
Master piece!!
Thanks, I'm glad you like it... On to the next one now, stay tuned!
best video on u tube ,i have one of these kits coming and was looking a few hints and tips this video blew me away with the detail
Good to have you back, here's to many more episodes and continued growth of your channel! 👍 Excellent build, great attention to detail!
Awesome video , great information . The oil stains are great , so cool .
Jon superb as usual - you explain accurately and your techniques are inspirational i cant wait to try your weathering mud techniques
Thanks Chris I really appreciate it, hope you get some great results
Hi new too commenting so bare with me.
The most stunning paint and weathering job on a model I've
ever seen . Bravo .
Thanks that's an awesome compliment I really appreciate you taking time to comment
WOW! Amazing!
Great video fella. Some great use of materials.
Stunning work. Great to see your weathering skills.
Thanks Steve I appreciate it, look out for more as soon as I can choose the next weathering victim!
fantastic pair of videos. some fantastic effects. great to see the original "factory fresh" machine next to the final weathered one. i'll be stealing techniques and approach for a model of mine
Superb!
Good to see your vids again ^-^
Great stuff Jon..
Thanks Richard! I'm all fired up for the next one now
Fantastic work, I really enjoyed watching your process, it has given me a lot of tips and ideas to carry out weathering myself 👍🏼 thank you for posting
That's awesome Barry I'm glad you found something useful and I hope I explained well enough for you to try the techniques out
Damn!! That’s a bad ass model Jon!! Great work man!!
Thanks I really appreciate that! Stay tuned I'll be doing much more this year I hope!
Excellent, just saw this today. Bought this kit along with a few other construction models. Look forward to building them, your video should go a long way to help me. The only issue I have is that I paint with enamels and TRY to weather with acrylics.
What a result. Fantastic work and a really enjoyable video, thanks for the upload!
Regarding topics for future videos, I'd love to see you return to some of the 40k/Sci-Fi since that's where my particular journey started with you (a Leman Russ tank if I'm not mistaken).
Yes! :)
It's nice to get an excited response when doing an upload!!
Looks great Jon how about a vignette for it.
It lends itself to a simple scene that would really set it off.
😉👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tempted... Would give me chance to add the suggested dirt to the top of the bucket, and believe me handling this on a base would be a whole lot easier than unbiased... Its like a stick insect!!
@@ScaleModelMedic
It would make a great subject and look even better if you keep it subtle like a big hole and a couple of figures standing over it peering in.
I have this kit to build and if my memory serves me right I think it is 1/35 so figures should be abundant.
@@clivecro4971 I have been looking at figures I have in the stash to see if I had anything suitable but unless kampfgruppe von luck were on site that day I'd need to do a bit of conversion work
@@ScaleModelMedic
Hahaha
I'm sure with a bit of green stuff you could fashion a couple of pair of wellies and a builders arse hahaha 🤣😅😂👍
Some amazing weathering on this one. Even the "mistake" on the corner looks like someone brushed up against the dirty vehicle or cleaned a chunk of mud off.
One thing I noticed is the top of the bucket seems a bit too clean. It could use a bit of the chunky dried mud there too.
Good spot, yes I think I could do more up slightly higher on the bucket
Very nice 👍
If only there was a 1:72 version 😞
Man this was fiddly enough without going braille scale!! You could do some really cool big plant machinery in that scale though
Just off the top of my head you could have superglued some stainless or other wire to the inside of the tracks on the top and then bent it to create some sag if you wanted to.
I'm living on a building site just now while new houses getting built these things are dinged up like god knows what! The searches look great on the back whare rotates but coming to the middle on some of these It looking at now they have like big boulder sized dints in the middle and like shrapnel dings it's been through a hard life Haha! It's brand new too according to the plate 69 plate 2019 Haha!
It must be a nightmare trying to get a certain paint from citadel with them kinda names for there colours!
