- After a brief delay due to catching Coronavirus - it's the Final weathering on the Meng King Tiger in 1/35 Scale - in this video I do the last chipping, pigments (with wet effects) and mud on both the hull and tracks and finally end this video series !
Thank you all so much for sticking by my channel through this huge video series. I am never doing a series so long again!! It has damaged my channel traffic due to the long videos causing low watch time and the low comment level. I guess shorter, punchier content is the way forward so I will return to this format in future.
Loads of projects ready to paint guys so please SUB and hit the bell icon! I am still committed to getting the channel back up and running. Please comment if you want to ask anything, I try my best to answer everyone. If you're new to this series all the previous parts are here:
• Building the Meng King... - Part 1
• Building the Meng King... - Part 2
• Building the Meng King... - Part 3
• Building the Meng King... - Part 4

Such a modest gentleman.... Says he is outside his comfort zone and a bit rusty.... Then produces this piece of art and skillsmanship... Brilliant..
Additionally these videos are just pure therapy to watch.. Hypnotic and soothing.... I can't wait until I get to the stage where I am able to practise these techniques...
Thanks
What an awesome compliment thank you. I jumped right back into the hobby with this one, then pushed myself hard with the hasegawa zaxis build straight after, it worked to get me back on track after such a long break. Glad you're enjoying the videos there should be more than ever this year, hopefully they all make you feel the same
Wow, true artistry. Inspiring me to clear my garage bench and start modeling again and try some of these techniques. We don’t mind long videos at all, we don’t all have ten minute attention spans. Cheers 👍🏼
I'm glad to see you are back :) I remember seeing your videos back from 2014 - I had just started with the hobby then. I think it was a video on color modulation on a Panzer IV and some weathering on olive drab vehicles. Thanks for these great videos! I agree that long video formats may not be to everyone's liking - but they're extremely useful for beginners who really get to see how these modelling techniques work.
Thanks yeah those videos are still up, I still get comments from time to time, they were quite popular at the time but they look awful now in the HD era. Thanks for taking time to comment and give feedback on the format
Glad to see you back, I enjoy your videos very much, can't wait to see the next project.... And thanks for let us see the Tiger finally finished.
Happy you are back. Wish you good health🙏
First video series of yours that I've watched - yes I did watch all the KT episodes.
I'm not a beginner, built a few over the years, so this series reinforced & refined a number of techniques I use regularly. There were a couple I've heard of but not yet used (but will give them a try now) so thanks for the inspiration. Coincidentally my last finish (a Zvezda Su85) was the first time that I used one of the 'streaking' enamels as my fixer, it worked superbly as I was trying to replicate dried and damp thick winter / spring mud - going to be using that technique a lot in future.
Looking forward to more builds & vid's to come.
All the best from NZ.
Great to hear that you are safe and well. I for one, really enjoyed this video series, especially the commentary for what you are doing and why. Can' t wait for the next project. Thank you. Cheers. :)
Thanks Chris, glad you took something from the video and thanks for taking time to comment
As I've improve through the years, these videos you post have taken me to another level thanks
Glad to be of help! Thanks for taking time to comment
Glad to have you back Jon, excellent work, turned out great! 👍 Glad to hear you are ok, stay safe 😷
Thanks Jerry!
@@ScaleModelMedic Could you maybe turn up the playback volume though, can barely hear you, even near full volume. Thx!
@@jerryvolpini7987 yes this is a problem I have, i will fix it on future videos. I think it's because I use noise cancelling ear phones so I sound really loud when I'm doing the edit
Jon, so very good to see you back. As you can see a lot of people missed you. I hope all is well in your personal life and you recover completely from that nasty little virus.
Hi, yes I was one of the lucky ones with covid and I barely felt it. It's great to be back on UA-cam uploading regularly, glad you're enjoying the content
I’ve watched this whole series today alone! Your builds are on another level. Just picked up the Takom Jadgtiger, basically the same body as this model so I’m going to use some of your techniques and hopefully make a cracking model
Hi thanks for taking the time to sit through so much footage, I love the big slab sized jagers but I've never done one, good luck with your project!
@@ScaleModelMedic it was a pleasure, the armour texture and the flame cuts are one of the reasons I went for it, I sure will!
Mate YOU started me modelling again, I can't thank you enough 😉👌
Now that's what I'm talking about 😎
Hey Jon
It's good to hear that you are well again and on the mend.
This piece looks great and once again beautifully finished to your very high standards.
I hope it won't be long before we see you in the next new video format as I for one gain a great deal from you and your work.
Stay safe mate looking forward to watching you very soon in the future.
😉👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for those really kind words, after my past track record I've really tried to get this one finished to prove I'm not gonna disappear again so hopefully won't keep you guys waiting too long!!
Thank you for completing this build I have just started making this kit so I am using your series of videos as a reference, keep safe and keep building your videos are greatly appreciated. Mike
Thanks Mike I really appreciate your comment, good luck with the build its a cracking kit just don't shelf it for 2. 5 year like I did!!
Good work Jon. Good to hear your thought processes on each step not just piling it on.
Looking forward to more in this series.
Keep safe mate. Steve
Hi Steve this series is now done and man am I glad, but future videos will still follow the same path with explanation of why I do stuff not just how I do it. Glad you watched and took time to comment, thank you!
Techniques, narration, final result - impressive 👍
Thanks!!
Great result! I truly enjoyed this series and love to watch your video's while i'm building my own models, i often come back to your older ones as well! Keep it up mate, you're doing a great job!
Thanks! I tend to not watch my own stuff ever again after finishing editing, my own voice goes through me! 😅
Really good video on your weathering techniques .. job well done 👍
Thanks I really appreciate you taking time to comment!
So glad you are better. Great looking King. Learned some great tips. Just got the new Tamiya Marder 1s. Might try this on them. Stay safe my friend.
Hi thanks for taking time to comment, a lot of what is in this series is definitely transferable to the marder there's just a lot less plastic to play with!!
Nice looking king tiger , not too over the top ...just right
Im glad to know you’re ok. I have been watching this build since I started mine on my channel. Im taking a break at the moment but once I get back to the build, you bet I’ll use yours as a reference. Take care Jon.
Watch out for those breaks! I had a couple of weeks off this project and it turned into 2.5 years 😅
@@ScaleModelMedic lol. I hear you.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your work
Awesome. Welcome aboard!!
🍻🍺👍 I'm so happy that you're well Is scary times but keep your guard up They sayYou could Get it Again
Keep it upYou do small some work I probly don't comment as much as I should
Stay healthy keep them what you normally do
Thank you, I got lucky and didn't suffer badly but for the sake of those who are more vulnerable I take the precautions seriously and will continue to do so!
Awesome mate! I have the same kit and got the stack zimmerit for it.
Zim really helps with weathering as theres so much going on with the surface, but man it took me years to do this let alone adding zinmerit 😂
Great stuff mate. With how far mud etc would go I don't think there's a limit. When we leaned our vehicles you could guarantee we'd hit a puddle, or another vehicle etc so I think anything is right Jon. We'll done
Its great to hear from someone with hands on experience, noone can argue with that! I was applying a logic to it and erring on the side of caution but in this hobby someone somewhere will pull out a reference pic showing the exact opposite! I do really like the splatter effect so having a pass to go heavier with it suits me
I just saw you IPMS Sunday Group build with Paul B. See you do Armor. Very well , Subscribed. Thanks Nick
Thanks glad to have you over hope there's plenty here that can be of help or entertainment!
Nice work! Looking forward to more content! I thinking about doing a king tiger or Panther soon, I’ll look back on this.
Also, I found if you start chipping with a dark color , then go over it with a lighter brown, it gives it more depth
I've got a panther right here, dragons panther G, waiting for primer but I didn't want to hit straight into another video on a big german cat, but I will in future!
Welcome back! Glad to hear you are ok. Quality content as always. Looking forward to see your next project!
Can you use IPA to fix the vallejo pigments? Never used pigments and now I got some rust effects recently but when I use IPA it goes kinda sticky.
Hi I've never used iPa for them so I dont really know. Enamels are great for this purpose because they're held but you do get the option of blending with enamel thinner
Saw you over on ISM
Hi yes I remember in the chat, and saw you'd posted on their group too, I hope there's something on my channel that can be of help to you!
why is this unlisted? its a great build
Haha I only just uploaded it and I hadn't proof watched it yet. I hope no cursing or mistakes got through the edit!!
@@ScaleModelMedic yeah i think its fine, your chipping is excellant, really measured and not over the top
@@harryainsworth6923 thanks I appreciate that. When I got into the hobby fully and started doing forums and groups etc there was still some resistance to heavy weathering in the hobby and chipping was questioned regularly as to how much it really happened, I guess this kind of makes me apply it in a really controlled fashion. It's a nightmare when you consider the effort required compared to blasting it with sponge chipping but hey I enjoy the result
