I have been painting models for 40 yrs . mostly scale 1:87 . Usually before taking on an assigment I do the "study" on the big boys ...so I stumbled upon Andy .. Rarely have I enjoyed a tutorial on such matter . Normal person , with normal tone , giving the essentials - and hobby is in the first line , not the personal issues .
Masters are usually simple , and this is a MASTER !
Few people I have subscribed, this is the one .
Andy your videos are keeping me sane! Keep up the good work. You are helping people...
Ik things it's kinda cool that you use classic music in your video's. It is relaxing when your building a scalemodel.
I must admit, watching you Andy while watching build a kit send me to sleep sometimes,thanks
I like the results. I use a brush, so the finish is not as smooth. I built that cannon, wit the longer barrel, by Trumpeter. Lots of fun. Thanks for your videos.
another nice build Andy. I like the way that you get such fantastic results without having to apply multiple weathering processes. vids like this encourage new guys to try a weathering without feeling intimidated by all the washes,filters ,oils etc. super result. well done
+Armour Empire Thank you
To add to painting tips, military and heavy equipment if any painting done in the "field" basically out side of the factory or repair depot, they generally don't tape much if anything off and many times it's done with paint brush and/or roller back then. Now days a rattle can mostly. Any case overspray and paint on tires is actually accurate.
Say tanks for example pretty common that replaced wheels would be primer or original color and not painted camouflage or other color unless the crew touched it up.
Andy love your channel btw!!!!
That is actually some really solid advice and with a replacement wheel, it gives a little extra to a model, thanks!
part of my enjoyment is spending quality time working on the assembly and paint
I would go nuts with those tracks, the built however loos amazing. Thanks for sharing
Very good 👍
Nice work Andy, you have got me pulling out old Tamiya kits :)
+MrBMBuilder Thank you
Andy, your build videos have no peer! Each and every one is OUTSTANDING. Additionally, no one can match your musical accompaniment. Some classical compositions instead of the usual rap crap. Thank you for that also. The only suggestion I could possibly make is for you to name the composition(s) accompanying the videos for us uncultured viewers. I'm good with "The 1812 Overture." However, while the melodies are largely familiar, I doubt I could properly name many of them or their composers. I wouldn't want to risk the wrath of Alex Trebek in Final Jeopardy! Thanks again for a GREAT time on-line.
Very enjoyable build, it´s like a real build should look like. Some struggle with the parts setting, and excellent outcome ...cheers Andy...
+Al Carr Thank you
This video was worth watching if only for the music! Great choice! I've got this combo in the stash waiting to be built...
Just started to build this kit Andy, so your video on this is going to be most helpful .
sd.kfz.6 sd.kfz.7 sd.kfz.8 sd.kfz.9 is my utmost biggest favourite and love !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoy your videos Andy. Great work keep them coming!!
Man your videos are awesome, i can just sit with a cup of coffee and relax with this, you woke in me the fire of making models and now i can't stop, thanks
Really a formidable model, it's incredibile that a lot of details pratically aren't visible when it's done.
Andy, you've got mad skills, brother.
Just got in the Itarli german sd.kfz.7/2 3.7cm flak 37 auf seldstfahrlafette kit. It shares the same chassis as this with full engine and winch. As you stated many parts
NATO Black dry brushing is outstanding!!.
+Steve Borkowski thank you
Nice work, beautiful music.
Very nice work. Learning much from your builds.has inspired me to get back intoThe hobby. Setting up my room now and have some nice kits to start with.
+Mark Russell thats great
Thankyou for taking the time to make these videos.cheers
+jonny bongos thank you for watching
Nice... Getting a new model on Friday and setting up my air brush and compresser can't wait
+Soviet Doge thats exciting have fun
Been following you here for only a short time and I am just getting back into WWII Armor Modeling. You Videos are Great ! Thanks for posting them, always learn something from them.
Another great video. I am going to build one of these for my 88 thats nearly assembled. I habe been watching your videoes now for a few weeks solidly especially when i am building. I like the classical. You have given me a lot of confidence and advice. Keep it up. I wish that i had a store lile yours locally. If i am ever in your area i will pop in (unlikely 😞) as i would lile to thank you in person. Oh and buy some kits lol.
another superb video, and build. top shelf as always Andy.
I miss the Pin washing on this halftrack, the Pak in comparison looks soooo great
Thanks for this , i am in process of building this halftrack at present.
+paips4 Thats great
I like everything except the dusting... Maybe it's the camera...seems to dull it a bit too much...GJ...
Another quality build thankyou
that's amazing and I want to start and learning more about WW2 diorama :)
Super beau travail je suis un fan(à traduire)
Hi Andy! Can you make a Zvezda Sd.Kfz 251/1 armored carrier build? And nice video!
LOVE the music you use in your videos!!!
Nice job!! Seen this still in working order SDKFZ 7 in real on Militracks in Holland last weekend, and not one but twoo of this beauties where there, very impressive and big machines in real, and very loud ;-) although there was also a working and self riding Köningstiger or King Tiger, all very very impressive machines in real!
Hi Andy, I cannot find episode 1 of this build and I wondered what cannon you chose to marry up with the Sd. Fkz 7 tractor?
This half track looks just like the one from the movie the dirty dozen , I like it .
thank you
Looking forward to a video of a back round build ( Just an Idea ) Lee Marvin was the driver .
Stephen Waner Steve it's the one they used the German army still uses these half-tracks!!!!
Nice Work. And greetings from Austria. I Wish we Had a Shop Like ur.s in my Home Town
Nice
Andy love the videos very informative. For a beginner like myself it is helpful. I'm in to german armor of the afrika korp.
compared to the 1/35 munitions carrier this is substantially larger. I like it. Tanks Andy.
(Tanks, get it Ha Ha)
Beautiful job Andy ! My only comment is ...you would have thought Dragon would have at LEAST put a Driver and a couple of riders in the kit ! What say you??
Andy, great video mate, has said before in the comments, I really enjoying the realistic look you're getting with out the use of a load of different products. keep'em coming, be nice to see some British armour? .... in fact, Western desert..... be really cool... be interested to see you do the 3 tone 'counter' scheme.
+Alan Sheppard Thank you I'll see what I can do
you are one of the best model builders I know of! keep up the good work!
+thespottedviking 1 Thank you
great music, keep it going, great vid, thankyou.
as always mate, a great jib on a great looking kit.
when you start airbrushing it looks so simple. I bought some new tamiya paints but couldn't find your tamiya paint airbush tips (horrible youtube comment search system).
Can you show in your next video how you use the tamiya paints for airbrushing? :) I know you explained it once in a video but i can't find it anymore :S
Awesome! Great Video!!! All the best,
Fernando - Brazil
+Fernando Henrique THANK YOU
Best work
You should do the Tamiya M1A2 sep Abrams Tusk II tank, I recently picked up the model and would love to see some techniques and strategies to make it look as authentic and real as possible! Love the channel btw
Really nice model.
I should try using tamiya's thin cement.
+FineKits Thank you you should it very good
well, love the build, I knew it would be cool. I wanted to watch this build to see if I wanted to buy that dragon kit or just build the old Tamiya kit, well I have the Tamiya kit and a PE set and tracks, guess I'll just stick with it, again cool build and really like your site, out.
+Clayton McClain Thank you
+Clayton McClain the old tam kit is....beautiful on the box art!too much work on it !but the famo is fantastic!
I love the famo, after I bought it and I seen the tracks I had to build them first, they looked so damn good I just wanted to see how they went together, and wow, some of the best workable tracks I've gotten, little to no clean up. I wanted the one famo with the trailer, but my LHS didn't have it. So my new Idea is getting two more famos and build a dio pulling a tiger out of a stream.
+Clayton McClain the trailer is a kit in the kit!take a look at mine on my channel..:p
another awesome video Andy plz keep them coming n yes I would like to see a Dio build wit this lol plus it would looks so awesome in the display window of your hobby shop n congrats wit all the new subscribers I'm telling all mine friends about you on youtube
+Gilbert Lathlin thats great thank you
As always nice work Andy!
+Los Piglet Thank you
Also, do you, when you paint, leave the accessories and tools on, then use a hand brush to paint them?
Admit it Andy. The only reason you paint your models black first is so that you can rock out to The Rolling Stones while your audio is muted.
+3041Markov I do like the Stones
I'm new to your channel , I admire the work you are doing. I wish we had a hobby store here in Jax, FL. half the size of yours.
Anyway I wanted to ask you where did you get your angled tweezers ? They are much longer than mine & I haven't been able to locate on line.
Keep up the great work & I'll continue to follow .
Thank for your time .
Mike from Jax,fl
Hey Andy! I've been building models for a couple of months now and have brush painted every single piece of the models along the way. It suddenly dawned upon me, what if I purchase an airbrush that could allow me to get a better finish and do it slightly faster (though i would still brush paint details and such). Which leads me to my point, is there a certain airbrush that you could reccomend to me that is beginner friendly and wont put me in debt? Anyway, it would be really neat if you could shoot me back a reply!
P.S. Your model looks truely amazing! The level of detail you were able to achieve astonishes me.
+Ben Plis thank you, i would recommend a double action like a iwata neo
Nice work Andy as usual!
Hi Andy, good to see the channel growing, I really enjoy your builds and painting. For me being a new modeller it's great to see you using different painting techniques, keep up the good work :)
+Richard B Thank you
nice working. !! but dregon kit is not delicate until now.maybe because dregon company cannot make own molding machine but use abroad machine.
awesome vdo....
and i am just waiting for the Russian T 14 Armata....
+shafin mahmud thank you
Hey andy nice job. I have a question, which is a better color for north africa, xf-59 or xf-60?
Hi doees anybody know if there is a compleate cold weather canvas cover for this vechicle in existance?or scale drawings in 1/35 th scale?
Andy could you please do a video about the tamiya churchill mk vii inclouding weathering, painting please.
Andy could u possibly do a Ostwind by dragon or a jagd panther because I would like to build one
Looking great mate....need to get these two as well now....bummer! lol
THanks
A great job
Andy Alex hear great job on the build looks fantastic got a quick question how do you do windshields I like the way you did the windshields in both of those trucks and is there another glue you can use to glue tracks other than Crazy Glue it's just too hard and dangerous to work with
How did you paint the tracks?
Sensational as always!
+Avery Balow Thank you
Love the music !
Sir, what cutter do you use to cut the parts off of the sprues? I'm looking for a good cutter and I think it'd be nice to have a recommendation from someone who's been doing scale modelling for quite a long time😀
Did you paint the tracks on the kit as well?
This was My first Model so Far! :) The second Model Was The german 3 ton truck
great vid mate
+O Gold Thank you
great video Andy. i am currently building a kit and have used your nato black shadow coat and it works really well. going to dust with the buff too.
can i ask what you use for a matt coat?
i currently have tried humbrols enamel matt coate and its way too shiney?
+Mal Richardson Hi I use Tamiya XF80 FLAT CLEAR OR TESTORS Dullcoat both work well , thanks for watching.
Another great job. Were they resin tyres?
+Adam K Thank you no ds plastic in the kit
I notice people paint Afrika corp vehicles in either desert yellow or dark yellow (me), am I wrong?
Wow you build fast..it's almost like you speeded up the video.😀
What about the tracks, what color?
Hey Andy. We recently saw new release on ZSU Shilka from two company. Have you taken alook at? If so, which would you recommend ?
+Luftangreifer Surprised to see you here. Anymore build videos in the future? Really liked the flak and hetzer!
Id love to, but it just doesnt make sense when I spend 20 hours making a build vid, and then 10 min lazy edit of game gets triple the views haha.
I`ll think about it.
Luftangreifer
True. :P Sometimes it's good to keep hobbies separate.
+Luftangreifer Have only seen the hong models so far but it looks very nice
im watching all your builds and i want to get back in armor modelling. will you make any modern tanks like the t72 series of trumpeter.
What is the musical piece for this please?
looks good Andy. was looking at changing my airbrush compressor. what would you recommend.
I like my Iwata eclispe airbrush very much,
Thanks Andy..what compressor do you run??
James campbell Henderson i am new to the airbrush side of things and faced the same dilemma. So i looked and waited for a high priced iwata studio compressor to come io secondhand. I picked up a 700 dollar compressor for 150 shipped and its amazing. Take a look at whats available. It doesnt have to be new but of course make sure it isn't worn out. I couldnt find any good quality airbrushes that i could afford so inbought a kmoon Chinese knock off of an iwata and that works really well. That wa like 15 bucks. At least if you get one and dont lile it its not a disaster.
Very nice. You give me a good idea for my FAMO. By the way, very nice soundtrack - what is the title of the soundtrack?
Anyone know the name of this piece of music and the composer? Heard it many times before.
10 thumbs up :)
+Andy Leung Thank you
Just wondering andy , can you get a model of the damnation alley land master , I'd love to build one .
I'm about to build same kit, but new tooled circa 2019?
710+ parts
Ah, my new kit is a trumpeter sd kfz 8, opps
enjoy and learn..meng-A7V TANK (KRUPP) Make some please..
hi andy any chance you doing 1/35 hmmit
Can you make a video of every model you built?
How many models can you make before the glue runs out?
+Jonathan Demyon I have replaced it a few times mostly from spilling it
+Andy's Hobby Headquarters thanks, I got some but spilled alittle about 3 weeks after having it
You should build a Tamiya Battleship 1/350
What is the name of the first tune?
Excepcional
Hey Andy What’s that modeling club you have
