Andy seems like one of those friendly uncles the kids always hang around with at a barbecue.
Outstanding video and presentation.
Went into the shop today for some paint. Andy was helpful, gave me some pro tips. Will be going back once i finish my current project.
Thanks Andy, 4 the M3A1 Lee build & 4 all the helpfull hints during assembly. great paint job.
love your work.....you make it look so simple....but the results are awesome!
Another great build can't wait to build this great weathering Steve 🇬🇧
Andy you are the best man
Thank you .
I want to marry him first
Andy primed a model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol. Good job as usual.
This was a version I didn't know was produced, as the usual an excellent work, expecially in the weathering. The same one can be used on the Lee employed by the Aussies in Burma.
Looks faaaaaabulous.
Thank you for all you do I'm new to your channel but have watched many of your videos already and learned so much. Appreciate everything you do
Thank you .
Ah this is the one Iv got for the back of the Scammel n trailer I'm building just now the cast hull m3a1 still looks good can't wait to see it all together now
I like to think that Andy’s shop is out in the middle of nowhere with nothing around for miles.
In a Monument Valley scene with a hitching rail out the front for your horse....lol.
Sort of.
Now that’s weird, I was just thinking about an hour ago that ‘Andy’s been quiet lately’... Hey presto! Haha. Awesome!
Come out nice
Men i could spend a week in that shop😍 and Nice work
Very cool kit and as usual beautiful build Andy. Thank you for your awesome videos man.
great job
Hi iv just cracked in to my stash and away to start this now, what a kit the detailing is just unbelievable! Only thing iv just noticed is the seem line down the cast hull iv tried to lighty sand it but not sure if it'll show up when paints on or what yet and not wanting to go any harder I dont want to take the casting effect out the hull, I was thinking of using abit of wet putty iv got to kinda give more texture to it not sure yet want to rewatch your video and see if you done anything with this or if noticable when paints down
Excellent build Andy, thanks for sharing......a quick ?....have you ever put any weight inside a model tank, lead weights or something else ?
do a kv2 plz
Another good build up Andy , love you’re vids & they have got me back into modelling 👍
The track rise should be at the front,not the rear
I misspoke, yes the rise should be at the front and that's the way I put them on.
No offence but you didn't as far as i could see.Maybe i missed something
Hi Andy, I think you have surpassed yourself on the Lee, great build mate.👌👌
NOOO!! Never leave the edges BLACK!!! Its supposed to be a shadow! Shadows are never on top!!! But i must admit this is the best model you built so far 😉
I question that too. Edges are always a highlight area.
It depends on the effect you want. Generally yes but if you're going for a faded look then it's the centre of panels that fad more.
Doing it like this then the edges do end up being brighter than the recesses so it does work they way you want.
Hey Andy could you do a video about the Bismarck or the Yamato?
I think the people having problems with the tracks did the same thing I did
when using extra thin cement when you push it together you shorten the links sometimes which after 5 or 6 times you end up missing almost a link
could be what's happening
The tracks XD
How much would a tank actually rust if being used almost every day
my friend designed some of the decals for that tank, glad to see you made it.
A cast hull on an M3 Lee just looks off.
Yeah , not a fan
@@vasili1207 I'm not a fan either.👍
Lol each like their own I'm a fan of bolth orignal m4 Sherman and m3 lee in cast! I'm a welder I know what it takes to weld those next gen hulls up !
when you used the olive drab 3, was it all over or just in some spots? great build
For movable suspension I would recommend a thicker white grease (compatible with the plastic/ non-solvent)or non set putty to stick it together
Cast hull looks so good. Grant turrets are still better though XD
It’s been a while since the last Panther Factory video. Is that project still happening?
Beautiful build. These "Lee" tanks always make me think of the movie "Sahara" with Humphrey Bogart!!!
Very good film. A military classic.
I'm impressed by the Takom models. Never built one so far, but they are on my 'To Do' list. I like your painting and weathering on the model. Do you not make the arial for the tank? You have the base, but no actual arial.
I just wish, you would have an european spreadshirt shop.
Spreadshirt ships to Europe , They have shipped many there.
Andy's Hobby Headquarters yes they do, they are just very expensive plus you have to pay taxes as well.
I prefer tamyia you can rig the for rc!
I've always seen Photos of the Iron cathedral but ive never really seen one in great detail, Cheers Andy!
Looks good! Just subbed to your channel earlier tonight. Lots of cool stuff! I've got some models of my own that I've posted videos of recently if you want to come over and check them out.
Hi, do you made 1/48 scale models, and how do you weathering those models? The size is much smaller and it's not easy to apply all effects to be clearly visible.
Recently I made my first model (Tamiya Matilda MK III/IV in 1/48 scale), but it's already looking good and I even rethink about weathering it at all. I am not planning to make diorama or so.
PS. Anyway thank you for your videos. I used them as tutorial for my first model. :)
Great vid as always, any live shows coming up?
Love it! The M3 Lee is one of my favorites allied tanks. It has this steampunkish looks... Or even warhammerish... Don't care how much of this armor you build, i'll allways enjoy see you working on it. Great job man!
Hi Andy I from Poland you can build polish TKS.I will be gratetul.
Hey i just want to ask, what kind of weathering effects could you use on a barrel to make it look like it has been firing for an extended period of time? Thanks
You could always try drybrushing a dark gray on the end of the gun barrel.
I'm thinking that would be Fort Polk in Leesville, Louisiana.
How did you do the chipping that shows at 20:48??
That really is a very convincing weathering job Andy, for me it has the perfect balance and you've achieved the goal of making it look like it's made from steel!
Training tanks were in immaculate condition. The Army hates the idea of soldiers having free time. Any rust was taken off with a wire brush and repainted. As a reward for poor performance, the tanks were detail cleaned even if they would be back in the mud before they were dried.
I have trouble liking Takom. All their kits have fitting issues.
S'weet! Love to have it in 1/16 RC.
I love your videos Andy. They never cease to amaze and inspire me.
My American tank destroyed gun just turned 120mm 😏
Andy after all layers of paint do you coat the model with varnish?
Andy, what type of thinner do you use with Tamiya panel liner for weathering? I had clear coated a project with testors spray dull coat and then tried using some testors thinner (the little glass bottles) and Tamiya panel liner to weather but it ended up causing my base paint coat to strip
I use ordorless enemal thinner over lacquer clear coat
Thanks, I appreciate the advice.
And I enjoy learning weathering techniques from your videos
Hey Andy,
I was looking for glue with a brush like you have at my local modeling shop, but they didn't have any.
Do you knie where I could buy them. I love the modeling video's anyway, I even made a Revell 1:72 Tiger 1 and I enjoyed it a lot. The only problem I had was that I had is that I didn't have that brush.
P.s. I live in the Netherlands
Revell Contacta Liquid Special maybe? It also has a brush.
Try in Amazon, or E bay my friend. www.amazon.com/Tamiya-87038-Extra-Thin-Cement/dp/B072FHZ2WQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1538687575&sr=1-1&keywords=tamiya+87038+extra+thin+cement+glue+fine+tip+40ml
I have come back to this video several times because I wanted this model since it came out. I started it last year(!) and had horrendous trouble with the tracks. Started over and re-started over trying to get the tracks to work. I finally gave up and found some aftermarket rubber band tracks on eBay. Your track technique has worked for me over and over again...but not with these track links! Now I'm studying your weathering techniques to finish the tank even though instead of your black/white shadowing I used Ammo Modulation paints. Once I'm absolutely done with weathering, I'll post on Facebook although I'll get hit with, "those aren't the right tracks for that model", I'm sure. Love your vids, your FB pages and your store, Andy. Thanks for all you do for us out here.

Hello, I beleive this is the first model you actually invest time in weadering with wonderfull results. Please keep doing this!!! One sugestion: Could you build ZWILLING FLAK 40 from Takon? I think you will enjoy a lot!!!! And it is rare to see one of this built.
do a KV 2
Nice build Andy. I haven’t seen this kit built until now. I’m currently working on the M3 Lee (early) from Takom. Unfortunately the tracks don’t fit as well on it as they do on this version of the vehicle. It’s about 1/2 a link to short, and adding a link makes it too loose.
Just got this kit and a earl one as well love your videos
Hey Andy, what bottle colors from Tamiya would you substitute for
AS-10
AS-26
AS-27
AS-28
and TS-48
Thank you Andy I’m from Perth Australia Thank you for so much I’m the guy who’s sick on a pension stuck at home Big Thank You mate You have made so much difference in my life and just wanted so much to tell you my friend a BIG THANK YOU🤩
Iv just got this kit in paint just now and you get more than enough for the tracks plus spares! Iv heard that too the tracks don't fit!. They must be buggering it up somewhere!
Smooth M3 Lee, very cursed
Greetings, Illustrious Andy! I think it's totally absurd, You, put glue on the moving parts.
Hi Andy, I really like the video's. I'm curious how do you keep your bogies wheel treads black and still paint the kit? Thanks again Joe
Nice weathering, Andy.
Thanks for all the tips.
Hello Andy, great video mate, the way you have weathered it, it looks more like it has come from off the sea bed, Lee.
Hi really great work!
Can you tell me what airbrush you use and which you could recommend to a beginner?
Hey Andy! Do you have any recommendations on a russian tank green? The ones ive been doing havnt been working as well as i thought
Awesome! Just recently finished a KV-1 and started on a T-34/76, I totally stole the black/white undercoat idea!
Great build Andy, but I think you should put some fuel stains around the fuel caps behind the turret.
Hi Andy. Love your channel but I notice you never seem to add aerials to vehicles. any reason?
Lick the model just finished my grant tack and no problem with tracks
Another kit to add to the list...!
M3-Lee immortalized in the movie Sahara ! Great job weathering .
Another Masterpiece Andy, Awesome Video, Thanks for Sharing Your Skills n God Bless All
Great job as usual Andy
Glad to see another video Andy! I was just thinking you'd been quiet lately and was starting to have withdrawals from your videos. Haha!
Andy what you doing before wash? Some kind of spray
Hi Andy, great job on the build! I'm building this model and am in the painting stage. I did have to add one additional link per side for the tracks. It's a good thing they added extra links to the D sprue.
My favorite WW-2 tank . Either Lee or Grant . “ I’m riding this tank into Berlin “
Great as usual Andy!!!!! Very good job in each video!!!!! Follow you from Spain.
Thanks a lot for all you make for our hobby!!!!!!!!
Link and Length tracks
I was looking at this kit 2 days ago. I've got the SMK sitting in the cupboard, and I like the shape of this.
the skins supposed to be dusty than rusty if its rusty then what a poor maintenence
Very very nice work....I ve really enjoyed it !!! Well done my friend !!!
Sweet build Andy!
Do you ship models?
Realy nice build Andy. What model will you build next.
Big fan of the cast hull series of these and the Shermans.
A great looking Lee tank. Love the colour and overall dusty appearance. Nicely done.
She's a beauty. Did someone steal or break off the antennas?
Andy can you do Trumpeters E-75 please?
The decals can go on matt surface using Mark Fit?
Lulubelle :)
It is artistry to build that from what comes in the box
