Sandbags and Resin - 1/35 Pz III Ausf J from Academy - 1/35 WW2 Diorama
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- This is the first part of a look through the build process for my current diorama project and we start off with building a Pz III from Academy.......with a few additions.
A while ago I was sent a box of 3D resin printed aftermarket details and tracks from Heavy Hobby and I've used a few of them to enhance the details of the Academy kit. I also show you how I made a scratch built Jerry Can rack and some sandbags from 2 part epoxy putty. There's also a look at enhancing weld details and steel texture on the plastic model for a more realistic appearance. I'm hoping this will be a fortnightly upload as we progress through the project showing more detail than perhaps I usually do but if you have any questions then just leave them in the comments below.
The Heavy Hobby products were sent to me free of charge under no obligation to say 'nice things' but I have to say that I have been very impressed by the quality of the details and they make a worthy addition to any model. The tracks are particularly impressive, as although you have to insert two connecting pins per link they are a snap fit and once assembled the tracks are fully workable with no glue required. Please note that at the time of assembly I didn't realise there are two types of pins for the track included in the box, one type for the inside of the track and one for the outside......Doah!!!..... / heavyhobby-10021614571...

Those tracks!!! No messy glue, or residue clean up. Just snap together. Same with other resin parts. No messing with metal and superglue. I'm sold.
I really like the chill out music. Great build as well, what's not to like :)
Man, that is absolutely fantastic.
God has surely blessed you with a talent that can only be given by Him. Amazing work.
I do like these amazing sandbags...👍👍👍
I am always impressed. Thank you !
Awesome CW!! I am starting a North Africa Build also!! I like that kit too!!!!
ABSOLUTELY REALISTICALLY TAKEN TOO PERFECTION TIE UPS FOR THE SAND BAGS OUTSTANDING VERY NICE WORK 👌.
Thanks for sharing this content with us, it shows well how much work is required just by attaching additional equipment.👍👍👍
Another excellent tutorial Ian, thank you.
I read in the Bible yesterday that the Lord himself created one pair of hands, kissed them and gave them to you, that you could do such amazing things! Best wishes!
Great work 👍I'm tempted to try using the 3D resin parts! Thanks for sharing, my friend.
Very Nice Indeed
The re-worked welding is brilliant. You certainly give us all a lot to think about. Thanks for your channel.
Hi buddy amazing just fantastic looking forward to the Diorama you're a fantastic model builder mate. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧
Great detail work on that Academy kit. Love the sandbags, provides lots of inspiration for a Sherman. Can't wait till the next installment.
Looking very nice
Tob Gebaut RESPEKT 👍👍👍👍👍 ein sehr schönes Modell !!!!
Love the build can't wait to see how it turns out
Beautiful work, sand bags are much harder to make than people think and you nailed them for sure, love the rope detail around the necks, bloody good work 👍
First class modelling buddy, love the resin and scratch build😊👍😁
It was almost hypnotic watching you build those sandbags Ian haha. Superb work.
lol
Very nice!!
Your sandbag fabrication is exemplary and you make it look so easy! You even include the tied off, gathered tops which make them look far more realistic.
impressive I love your projects because they end up in some fantastic dioramas, I hope that one day you will change and make one on the Pacific with a Sherman, greetings
Great Job!
Great result so far. The additional details are amazing :) Looking forward to the whole build :)
superb detailling , Ian , youre a real craftman !all the best ! jy
Wow super 🙂
really nice built thank you for sharing :-)
Very nice 👌😍
Fantastic work! I'm just wondering how the crews back then would have affixed all of that stuff to their tank like that without it falling off! Best
Perfekt feljavítás!
Really nice work. I can tell you put in a lot of extra effort into this tank. Looking forward to seeing the diorama video, it looks really cool on instagram
Good stuff - Chauky...you've come a long way since I first knew you. Great kit.
Who says these words?
@@CWModelling hehe - tis, I Jon Bellos...once of p o p infamy
Hey Jon, long time no see......I hope you're well mate 👍....I can manage not to get finger prints in the glue these days, lol
@@CWModelling - yes, long time...quite well, thanks! Still enjoy modeling and...ehem..., finger prints...they happen.
Love your videos! I was wondering if you could share with us where you got those chisels from. Thanks in advance
Thanks.....the chisels came from ebay but they don't appear to be listed anymore😔
Which GreenStuff Epoxy product did you use for the sandbags? Can't wait 2 see the painting done
its the Greenstuff tape👍..........www.greenstuffworld.com/en/24-epoxy-putties
And again your craftsmanship is simply stunning! But I do have one question: I get the sandbags in front of the drivers hatch - but why on top of the turret? The commanders cupola is obviously higher - so what exactly are they protecting against?
Your guess is as good as mine.....I just saw it on a resin aftermarket set and thought it looked neat 👍
I would say strafing/artillery. The turret roofs on these earlier panzers were quite thin.
The 2 things that really inspired me the most are probably everyday skills that all modellers do but are still great nonetheless. 1) using the hobby saw to make wood grain and the baby wipe to simulate a tarp. I've been looking at how to make miniature cloth replicas for awhile and never seen that done before. Thanks.
I have to ask though do you think those resin extras are worth the price? They're more costly than the base model kit.
I think the amount you want to spend on extras is a personal choice so I can't really say if they're 'worth it' .......All I'll say is that I wouldn't have used them if they hadn't been sent to me👍
🤝👍
what kind of modeling clay is this?
2 part Epoxy Putty👍
@@CWModelling I ordered the ALTECO Epoxy Putty molding option within 30 minutes. We have nothing else with us. It is said that it is a quality 2-component mass
