I've watched a lot of scale model videos and channels, but this is probably my favorite. Great production value, great explanations, and the quiet music in the back all make for a great experience. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thankyou for the support Andrew ! I have been trying hard to do the best I can, sometimes it doesn't work but I'll keep plugging away
I really like those self-propelled guns and you really nailed it. And I definitely feel your pain on aftermarket parts blowing up the project costs :D Anyway, keep on the great work!
Thanks Alleyman ! It was worth the extra I think. The OG kit only came with rubber bands
The tracks might be expensive but they are so worth it, they look fantastic. Great job on the model and the paint job!
And the "accident" with the paint flake? I would have left it, looked the tank hit a large branch of a tree or something. You fixed it perfectly though. 👍
Thanks Al ! A lot of folks are saying I should have left the chip
A beautiful job James! I have had this kit in my stash for quite a while now, and you have inspired me to finally build it. I really like the German SPG’s, and this is a fine example.
Keep up the great work, and cheers from Australia!
Thanks Gary ! I have wanted to do something German and a while now, and everyone does a tiger, these vehicles especially spgs are way more fun ( especially those based on the 38 chassis always look bodged together and overall more interesting)
There is PE available for the ammunitionracks by Part (P35-053).
Hi James....quick question. Do U use a magnifying glass when painting fine details? as I myself am finding it hard for my eyes to focus on such small parts to paint. Also heard you on the Plastic posse podcast n had to check you out. Your tutorials are excellent. I've only just gotten back into modelling thanks to watching the Fury movie....n yes I'm doing a Fury build. Anyways many thanks for the informative videos U put out. From Australia. (This was spose to b a short comment...sorry)
Hi MG ! No I don't, well not yet anyway.. I'm finding it harder to film and model well at the same time and it's due to my eyesight getting slightly worse. Thanks for coming over and having a look ! It's much appreciated
Another classy model from the meister
and another mesmerising 40 minutes of modelling joy. Well worth the wait. 👏
Thanks so much Fus !
On scalemates there's an new aftermarket option for the covers to fit over them empty shell Racks! There really nice would make all the difference I'll leave the link but UA-cam normally removes Amy links now outside UA-cam!
I've had to repost this it.got deleted straight away the make says K59 in shell ammobox upgrade set for Tamiya marder 3 C-026 Detail set 2021! Hope this helps even take the lids looks easy enough to still be able to slip em on!
Thanks Charlie ! I wondered why there was a missing post.. they look really nice
Hi, I've never seen the big white USA star hand painted & the a Balkan cruz crossed out. Was this a captured tank ? Cheers, always fun videos!
Hi man. Towards the end there are some reference photos. It was captured by soviet forces jn 1944
Vallejos crushed grass and crushed grass n mud effects are good from there environmental range! It looks more realistic than mixing static grass through Ammos splashes mine never looked quite right when mixed mine!
Just added that to my list it looks great thanks !
I really liked the level of chipping on this, just enough for visual interest and realism I felt. I do love a heavily chipped AFV sometimes (if it's done really well) but a part of me always knows it can't be realistic.
Speaking of realism, the unusually large chip? I would have left it myself. I think it looked really interesting! I immediately though it made a great starting point for authentic-looking damage created e.g. when the vehicle scraped against masonry. A core of exposed steel, just the merest hint of rust and _bingo_ a Bob Ross happy accident 🙂
Thanks mate ! I love the heavily weathered look but always chicken out for a more refined look 😋.
Unfortunately there was a decent photo of that particular area and it was nice and tidy there
Letter Я sounds like German "ja".
Then word in prewciew sounds "majadeja 3"
Thankyou for the help !
@@lpjmodels this is common phenomenon. All russian understands that means English letter R instead of russian letter Я, but it always confusing me for a while
Overall a great build and finish James. The only thing I would have done different is add tool clamps to the tools and maybe pushed the weathering on the lower hull a bit further... but that's just me. I hate to be that guy but... I think you forgot to paint the bow machine gun.😬 Other than those minor things it turned out awesome. Looking forward to the display with figures. Cheers!
thanks Scott mate ! ( whooops on the Bow MG... will fix for the dio)
@@lpjmodels lol.. I know you will.
I can’t find these tracks anywhere… any tips on where to buy them?
I got mine on ebay, seems to be their only platform
Fantastic bit of modelling, What airbrush kit do you use and compressor? would like to know what would be best for modelling as I'm only just getting back into it after 40 years :) Many thanks
Hi Phil thankyou. Sorry for the late reply. I use a h&s infinity cr with a 0.15 needle and nozzle ( one of the finest sizes you can get)
My compressor is a sparmax tc-610 h ( or very similar )
It's about 450 for the complete set up that I use, I used an iwata sprint jet to start with, had that for 2 years and it started overheating from use, if you're going to be spraying a lot, get one with a tank. If not a constant one is fine despite what folks say.
Airbrushes are very personal, I found the spares for h&s very affordable compared to iwata so I shifted over a few years ago, haven't looked back :)
@@lpjmodels Thanks for the reply, brilliant, I'll look into getting one of those
I think your work is stunning.
I have always wanted to try the Metal Track and
Pin thing..! But fear I've Missed my Window.
Now 67yrs and with rather an Alarming Tremor, so some days I can model, Somedays 'Forget it..!'
Those pins, even Pre Cut would go everywhere. 'Orbit' not being Beyond the Realms of Possibility..!🤣
But I can Still model just not too Ambitious.
Currently building the 1/35 Zvezda Sd.kfz 184. Not bad kit at all. Zvezda have improved somewhat...! Yay..!🤩
I'm normally 'Tamiya' if Possible..!
Great video and even better tips..!! Thank you..!
Cheers kim in Oz. 😎
"There are no mistakes. Only Happy Accidents." - Bob Ross
Great build. The use of VMS products is especially appreciated. I learned a lot. The "captured" version is very clever. Many thanks.
Hello mr.lpj!nice job done.great 2c u unleash your cteative powers.thank u4 delivering fun excitenes and knowledge and Inspiration.your passion in detail and accuracy is an inspiring shiny beacon in the modelling world.i would like to give more than 1thumb up.but I cant.thats a pain in the ass.because u deserve it.thank you for sharing.with best regards and sticky greetings from sandy Brandenburg/germany.your modellmate.christian
I like how it's just moderately weathered and beaten up - great job!!! Chris
Thanks Chris !
Neva done a tank model but i got a few on list to order. nice work🤙
Thanks for coming over and having a look !
I love the honesty in your build videos. By that I mean any mistakes or hiccups are left in and not consigned to the cutting room floor. Instead you show us how you rectified the problem. We all make mistakes or have problems with the build but you don't get to see many of them in other YT videos. Well done James. A classic build as always. Stay safe mate.
Thanks Ferb ! I'm trying to include the derpy moments more now, I think it is more real ! Like you say , and they are missing from a lot of other videos. Also fixing the problems is something I wish I knew how to do when I started .
Take care mate
Looks like you're beautiful tamyia build .
Quite different from the dragon kit with its 100s of parts .
Nice job thanks for sharing.
How do you make the sprue goo? I find your videos very helpful with my builds, and really enjoy watching your techniques.
Always wanted to build this model. The problem is that i have something like 80+ kits in my stash to finish 🙈 is this problem common? :D great build by the way!
Keep the good ideas going!! You could easily get more people watching with Promo'SM!!
I got a Dragon kit the Grille with sig33 it's got all the spare parts
For these kit's including the ammo racks amd ammo! I'm using them in my Tamiya marder when get round to it!
When you spray those super thin lines I guess you use very thinn paint and wery low psi. Maybe like 7 psi or maybe 10 since harder and steenbeck dont push a lot of air like the mr hobby procon.
The fact that the ammo compartment is empty just kills it for me. The new marder 1 they made has a few though. Just an immersion killer for myself.
Damn, good job keeping up with the weekly uploads.
Thanks man ! I'll be struggling with the next one I won't lie 😄
Does the vms black track pro work with plastic tracks or just metal ones. Fantastic build by the way
Lovely mate!
Afv, miniart all carry 76.2 mm soviet @ells, plastic and brass, as this gun platform was paired with russian gun, Czech hull, it was a slav machine.
Thanks Rick ! I saw the miniart ones, but wasn't 100% sure they were the right ones.
Do you still have your every first model
No I'm afraid not. I have some photos of my first back into the hobby ( or one of )
building same model right now
How is it going ?
Very Nice.
Thanks !
For these tracks I would use Albion Alloys straight brass wire.
Fantastic build and video, thanks! For this Marder's 76.2mm gun you can use standard German 75mm Pak 40 ammunition. The only difference was the diameter of the driving band, and 1.2mm won't make any difference in 1/35 scale.
Thanks ! I wasn't sure and now I know
Great work. Looks used and grubby but not chipped to death which you so often see these days, and which is so unrealistic. I certainly couldn't afford to double the price of a kit with metal tracks, or be bothered with all the extra work, but fortunately Tamiya now supply very neat link and length tracks in some of their new AFVs, including their latest Marder (a different version to this one) which I think are perfect for ease of building and realism. I'm hoping they include them in a future release of this particular kit as it's an interesting vehicle. Anyway, top marks for another superb build and - just as important - a nice relaxing watch!
Thanks Ian ! I don't mind paying out the extra, its either that or buy another kit.. and I'd rather add to a project than add another project . But everyone's different mind. I won't do it for everything, but those rubber bands had to go.
I really love your painting, it's so clean. Very nice job :D
Stuff like this is why I’m a Patreon. Your work is some of the best on UA-cam. Bravo, Sir 🍺👍
Thankyou my freind ! I'm glad you're on board and I'm stoked you're still enjoying the work !
Fantastic video my friend looks amazing the chipping came out great just the right amount great job on the free hand markings thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Rims much appreciated mate
Hi James! I really don´t like this version of Marder but you have done nice job. Building models based on photos is what I really like to see.
Thanks Mikulas ! I know what you mean !
Beautiful build, though I think I'm going to have to grab one of my kids to do the tracks for me. The eyes are not what they used to be, lol. I will be using some of the techniques you have demonstrated, thank you.
Thanks Wade !
надпись на каком языке?
Good question. I tried to follow the refence pictures I provided.
@@lpjmodels You made a mistake. You need to write "На немца", but not "На немуа". На немца" means "(going to war) on the German"
@@lpjmodels You wrote the Russian letter "У" /"U", instead of the Russian letter "Ц" /"C"
the phrase turned out "на немУа", but it should be "на немЦа"
and the model is very cool!
Thank you, regards
James great stuff, please can I ask why you didn't paint the presumed MG34 and why it was left in Desert colour ... not gun metal ?
Thanks Steve! Pure forgetfulness I'll fix it for the dio !
Another trick for the 2 piece gun barrels, is take a.010 mm piece of plastic and glue it in one side then attach barrel together and cut, sand, and flush it all together.
That's a cool tip Rick thanks !
James , my man
Great build . The way you bring /paint life & realism in these models is unreal. Great work. As far as the scratch goes , was that due to some oils or residue on the model or was it just scratch that grew larger when you prepped it for repair. Plz keep sharing your work with us
Cheers from the states
Thanks Mikel ! The scratch happened because I was more interested at the time in the podcast I was listening to and pushed wayyy too hard.
Lovely as always. I have found AK and Ammo chipping fluids hit and miss on some of my past projects. How would you rate the VMS chipping fluid by comparison?
I found so far it easier to use. The first point Is the surface tension isn't quite so bad. But it is still a bit of a dark art. I havent tried it with straight tamiya properly yet but i bet it slaps.
The Devil is in the Details and you seem to know Old Scratch well! Patience has yielded Beautiful Results!
Very kind words thankyou !
I was thinking you maybe had a problem with the paint peeling away because of the mix, however I read that AK Real Color and MRP are both acrylic suspended in a lacquer mix or vice-versa. Tamiya XF is aycrlic in alcohol. Mr Hobby Aqueous is the same. I guess they're all interchangeable.
Hi mate, it was 100% a scrape, the finish is really tough. I caught the end of what I was using to chip in the paint because at that particular moment I was being a bit too vigorous and got distracted. 😀
I used to have adhesion issues several years ago, lots of paint peeling with tape e.t.c but I ironed that out.
Aha paint chemistry my favorite!
Ak real colour started as a formula similar to tamiya but somewhere along the line the recipie was changed and now its pretty much a pure laquer.
Standard mrp is pure laquer, but they have a water based version for touch ups.
Sprue cutters union podcast have a few episodes where they go into the bear bones of the subject, the problem is paint companies aren't always transparent with their information.
It's an interesting subject !
Nice build, never did a captured version, not my thing... But this is your build so well done.
Thanks John. I like nonstandard things, makes it stand apart a bit.
Just found you a couple of days ago, now I'm watching everything you have!
Thankyou Joe
Outstanding work.
Thanks Jose 😀
Were any of these light tank destroyers, attached to German infantry divisions? I know Hetzers were. Still not sure if Panzer Grenadier Div Grossdeutchland had any or it,s spawn divisions?
I'm not sure I'm afraid !
I love everything about the build, especially the hand painted markings!! They are awesome!!
Thanks Johnny !
Super! Ein sehr schönes Modell! Danke 👍🏻
Thanks, James....another stunner! A surprise ending with displaying a captured vehicle and a tantalising future episode 'watch this space'! You managed the correction of the small blunder really well....plus giving us tips re fixing the issue. Just wondering....do you ever have disastrous, can't be fixed builds??
Hi mate !
Well... I was building an airfix handely page hp42 and that was well beyond my remit. I'm not great with scratch or major fixes, they never end up looking right and on this the struts were ill fitting and poorly aligned.
That was the only thing really since the start of the channel that I haven't really finished. Quite often to get a video out it needs to very something I know I can do, otherwise the gaps between videos would be too long 😀
@@lpjmodels As a kid, my friend built the HP42 kit back in the 1970s (yeah, I'm that old!) and it turned out ok. I guess that near enough was good enough back then so when things don't go to plan nowadays it becomes quite frustrating when kits don't do as they're supposed to. Makes me feel a little better knowing that even the best YT modellers have their failures. Wise suggestion....pick kits that you know you can do!👍👏
Nice one there James, Although I'm surprised you went with the older release rather than the more modern one with the length and link tracks and nice figures, i'm guessing its either been in the stash for a while or you picked it up for a good price. I hope you decide to do the Marder I and Wespe at some stage.
Hey Kiwiruna thankyou ! I wasn't aware of the other release to be honest. It was an Impulse buy at my local shop 😁
Do you have a 3D printer? You could make shells and so on yourself. :)
I wish !
That mistake sure looked good! I would of kept it lol. Came out amazing sir great job!
Thanks a jeff, there wasn't such a ding on the referenced unfortunately
Hi James, Sorry stuck my head in the chat in the premiere and then didn't say anymore. We manage the the block of flats where I live ourselves and I am one of the directors, sounds very grand lol. One of the flat is being sold and the solicitors are asking for a sellers pack and we are trying to put it together and a few emails that needed answering arrived and spoilt things.
Also sorting out where my son has to go for his first aid course to do with his DoE tomorrow.
I nice start to a relaxing weekend.
Hope you are both well.
Cheers, Mark
Hi Mark no worries glad you popped in for a bit ! We all have things to do sometimes. All good on this end hope its the same on yours. Best of luck to your son on the course ! It'll be a breeze.
All the best
James
@@lpjmodels I'll try watching it again tomorrow evening.
Superb. I could never have done the star free hand as well as you, but thanks to you my mud is getting much better!
Thanks Robert ! The key with these markings is not to be so neat, it's hard to let go and slap it on though
Another high quality video production ...just bought this kit for $14 USD ......a very helpful guide!
Probably one of the best builds I’ve seen. Nice job. Thanks
That's very kind Pete thankyou !
Great skill, James! Glad to have stumbled upon your channel. I’m gonna learn a lot from you. I’m trying to go back to scale modeling, I stopped in ‘05, hoping to enjoy the hobby I loved when I was a teen in the ‘90s!
Great build 👍
Thanks a lot Dave
Great vid Great build!!
Thanks my freind 😀
What needle did you use in the airbrush when doing the camouflage? I have a really hard time painting camouflage.
Hi Chris 0.15, but you could manage with a 0.2.
What problems are you having?
@@lpjmodels it keeps splashing to the sides and the lines are way to big
@@chriswegje what paint ?
Also are the splashes like a stipple paint or runs that are like water being pushed away from the centre point.
@@lpjmodels I use Vallejo Air paints it looks more like water pushed away
@@chriswegje vallejo aren't the easiest to use as a start, lots of folks have great results though.
From the sound of it they are either too thin or you're using too much pressure.
Get nice and close. No more than 1.5"
lower your pressure to about 10 psi as a starting point and only move the trigger tiny amounts. You want to open the needle arpature just enough to let some paint out.
Start tweaking as you figure your results, get speckles, add more pressure, got spidering, less pressure.
Smooth paint but going down really dry or diffused, make sure to get close.
If you're using a larger nozzle and needle .3-.5 you might have trouble getting really smooth graduations, you'll find some speckling on the edges.
Certain colours are also more notorious for this than others.
One of the reasons I moved to MRP mostly and other laquer based paints is the ease of spraying. Yes it's best to use a booth or mask or both, I use neither, and work in a well ventilated area. I figure I'm only spraying small amounts of paint so it won't be so bad.
Amazing build James !!! I love the camo skin !!
Thanks Joaquim! One of my favorite camo schemes. I really want to do one over heavy modulation.
Cool build, of all the marder variants I see III the least. Always nice to see a more obscure tank.
It's definately underrepresented, it looks derpy, but it's quite charming in a way
@@lpjmodelsIndeed
Beautiful build mate, can't fault a thing👍😉😁
Thanks Dave ! Good to hear from you my freind :)
Nailed the camo and weathering. Very nice build.
Thanks Paul !
absolutely beautiful
Excellent build, James 😊👍
Thanks so much mate !
Good job.
Cheers CemAA 🍻
Wow great build sir!!!!
Outstanding work!
why did you make such a nice little gun an evil american version?
It's russian. And because it's more interesting when it has a funky back story.
another masterpiece mate. Well done
Cheers mate
As always you rock :)
my god man WHAT A JOB !!!!!!
Well, K59 Productions has these ammo bins you've been looking for. They although had an upgrade set for the Tamiya too but not available at the moment.
Thanks for the heads up. It's a shame they didn't show up on scalemates

great
This turned out so amazing James! Great narration and tips as always. Cheers!
thanks Mate !!
Great work on the kit.
Thankyou Michael
Looken good!!
Cheers Paul thanks for watching
Sorry but the way you are using the "fast setting" on the hull is not great. applying it onto on surface then bringing together means its almost dry,not wet enough for even a "light" tack ,if you come back to apply more. Just do it once when both parts are together. might get away with small parts but noy large slabs like this.
Hi Gary, it may be unorthodox but the parts haven't come apart
Beauty. You do fine work, mate.
Thanks John !
Great build mate
10/10 and I especially like how neatly the words looked
Thankyou mate ! I'm glad it came out ok 😀
