I've found that with a pigment spill, canned air is great for cleaning up the model. Great video. Thanks for taking all of your time making and posting them.
Believe it or not Evan, but that's the first time I've seen those products used. Before this I had no idea how they were used. Thanks bud. You made my day
The use of a bottled wash over pigments for creating depth and shadows (and not full on mud effects) in the wheel well of a desert vehicle is something that I have not seen before, with good results. I was concerned initially that the dark liquid wash would not merge and blend with the light pigment, but over a few minutes of elapsed time, the dark wash did indeed spread out and transition with the pigment. I imagine that smaller amounts of wash (maybe dots?) randomly placed on the pigment would grow into more random shadows, and even thin lines of wash placed vertically might give a dripping oil/dusty oil effect. Nice innovative technique, 36.
clickclick vroom That is what I was thinking. The pigments look like chalk. I was using zested chalk back in the early 90's. grader is a good idea. Thanks.
Hey my friend! Great video on pigment technique. Much appreciated! Ive been look around for Mig pigments in all my local hobby/craft stores and can't find em anywhere! Any suggestions on where I could purchase them?
Outstanding! Your Stug looks so realistic! I'm going to start using ground pastels due to budget. A word on the Fall of the Reich GB, I borrowed a camera from family. Going to do some practices vids to learn it and post more...I'm going to do a vignette based on the battle of Selow (sp, sorry) Heights.
Startrooper5555 Yeah I know...you're right it was mostly F.8s. Ausf.As were only used in France. I just wanted to do a DAK panzer though! Thanks for the head-up, though!
Thanks man :) Yeah it is expensiv; I probably spent $2 worth of it on this tank, though probably twice that it paint too.... I'm looking around for cheaper substitutes tile group sounds good I'll look into it thanks :)
xecck You could use white glue but that turns the pigments into more of a slurry and they can lose their shape. I was just trying out this new method but both ways work fine
I use them over Tamiya paints and I don't even have to apply a protective coat as AK and Mig are both thinned differently than Tamiya so there is no reaction
+Panzermeister36 could I use oil washed over acrylic then use white spirits to whip off to get the weathered look? Really appreciate your replies thank you.
Liquidtex? I use AK's own thinner so thin the Mig and AK products. An oil wash over acrylics should be fine too, just be careful because both AK/Mig and Oils will both get thinned with mineral spirits
Soldering gun! I made a vid about it I think it's my 2nd, though they're too big, equivalent to about a 75mm shell which would have no doubt gone thru the early stug's 30-40mm armour... I'd recommend heating a nail with the soldering gun and then using that as you'd have better control
Hey don't diss your chipping or weathering effects, I thought It looked really good before the pigments. It looks good with pigments but the before was cool too. Good work and great video thank you.
BillyWhichDoctorCom Thanks :) I like the effects that I had with the original chipping, it's just that chipping usually starts around edges or seams rather than just all over the place! I've improved with my chipping for sure now and I did really enjoy this build so I don't really mind it at all. Thanks for your compliments and encouragement, Billy :D
+MisterAxeMan Yes Elmer's glue will work if you can thin it down. I think i used Matte Medium here which is basically the same thing, but easier to mix as it's an artist's product. I recommend that more than just Elmer's glue.
That was a really nice stug III there. wow pigments cost alot in canada, I like to make my own for dioramas, but Im getting some brand ones for wehicles.
Yea pastels are great, its just pure pigment but in a chunk, get a mortle and pestle from a secondhand shop and you got tons of pigments. I have not noticed much difference in cheap vs expencive pastels as with oil paints thoe. Im looking to get some larger pastels with only earth tones.
Yeah its acrylic based and very strong. Just trying to be simple here; it's the same consistency as white glue and I'm using it in the same way, but it's better in that it is stronger.
+Panzermeister36 All good brother, I just wanted to bring it up, because a lot of painters, like myself will take some of that and a flow improver together to make a mix with our paints. i didn't want anyone thinking they could use white glue for something else like that.
Ryan Cook I agree...the short gun and the open gunner's viewport don't have a good look at all. I really like the late-model StuGs, though - the ausf F.8s and Gs! They're my favourite WWII tanks for sure...what cool looking beasts :)

Thanks Mike, no problem man these are to show people the effects they can achieve :)

That's a great tutorial! I like it. Very informative my man :)
Thanks qdc my pleasure :)
Well done mate , very good video , modelling skills first class . Enjoyed this very much , keep up the good work !!
Thanks man :) much appreciated!
Came out good, I would have not thought it would go back to sand but it came out Bomb
Yeah I discovered it by accident on the T-80; I didn't think I would change back too! Thanks for watching man :)
have you tried inexpensive colored chalk, using a lemon zest grader, many color possibilities
I am planning to do so in he future, as you said it is much cheaper :)

Alright Jack :) Good luck on the vids and that sounds like a cool subject man can't wait :D Thanks for joining my GB!
very good how to video - well done...this will be very useful to a lot of modeller i have no doubt.
Thanks Mark I hope so :)
Can you list the products that you used?
If they are still available, as I see this video is a bit old
Thanks
Might be a little late but the Stug III ausf A never went to N.Africa.
Only a very few Stugs made it to N.Africa and they were later models Gs or Fs.
Startrooper5555 Yeah I know...you're right it was mostly F.8s. Ausf.As were only used in France. I just wanted to do a DAK panzer though! Thanks for the head-up, though!
Excellent tutorial very easy to follow.. Thanks
Thanks GYRUSS, no problem bud ;)
Looks cool man, that pigment crap is expensive though. I used pastel chalk and tile grout...both are cheap and can be found anywhere.
Thanks man :) Yeah it is expensiv; I probably spent $2 worth of it on this tank, though probably twice that it paint too.... I'm looking around for cheaper substitutes tile group sounds good I'll look into it thanks :)
Wait so the wash helps the pigments to stick to the model? How about the white glue? What did you use it for? Great model by the way. Love it!
xecck You could use white glue but that turns the pigments into more of a slurry and they can lose their shape. I was just trying out this new method but both ways work fine
Thank you for the reply! I got some pigment fixer from the store. Works a treat!
This is really cool!
Thanks Sanek :) StuG!
try using a pippette to distribute the thinner or washes otherwise the pigments will stain you brushes
hello, what a u applying on 5:32?
thanks
The MiG mud splash wash :)
Panzermeister36 thanks!
Can you use MIG/AK products on top of acrylic paints. I paint miniatures and would like to improve my weathering. Thanks for all your videos.
I use them over Tamiya paints and I don't even have to apply a protective coat as AK and Mig are both thinned differently than Tamiya so there is no reaction
+Panzermeister36 thank you. Do you only use liquidtex to think down?
+Panzermeister36 could I use oil washed over acrylic then use white spirits to whip off to get the weathered look? Really appreciate your replies thank you.
+Shockwave thin
Liquidtex? I use AK's own thinner so thin the Mig and AK products. An oil wash over acrylics should be fine too, just be careful because both AK/Mig and Oils will both get thinned with mineral spirits
how did you do the bullet bounce off effects in the front stug

Well done learned something new today :)
:D
Looks terrific!
Very very useful tutorial. Will put this to use very very soon :D Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Deron :) My pleasure

When you say "White Glue" do you just mean Elmer's glue? Thanks.

Yeah they're quite expensive...I'm looking into getting some pastels as they should be cheaper, but these MiG ones are great in colour :)

nice video, what color did u use for the tracks?
+0206scr XF-77 with an overspray of XF-57 I think
+Panzermeister36 thanks :)
Great video, thanks for sharing that.
Thanks man :) glad you like it
sorry,i'm spanish and i understood ,what is white glue for?to mix with water and fix the pigments?
Yes that's what it is for. You can use artist's matte medium as well, or enamel thinner. Those will all fix on the pigments
Panzermeister36 thank you very much and sorry about my english😖
It's alright! Your English is awesome, don't worry :)
Panzermeister36 thanks a lot,please go on teach your tips!!!!!
Thank you! I will for sure :)
nice work bud.(Gary UK)
Nice video my friend.
Thanks man :)
you should do some more tutorials bro
twistedsniper42 I shall I shall :) I just don't know what subjects to do them on...any you'd like to see?
i'll have a think and get back to you bro,but anything on washes would be great.
twistedsniper42 Oh yeah washes is a good one thanks man :)
Impressive!
Thank you :)
Nce work
+Steve Borkowski Thank you Steve
Panzermeister36 Your welcome , Sir !!!
matte medium is certainly not white glue.
It's basically what they add to pigment to make paint. Great video otherwise
Yeah its acrylic based and very strong. Just trying to be simple here; it's the same consistency as white glue and I'm using it in the same way, but it's better in that it is stronger.
+Panzermeister36
All good brother, I just wanted to bring it up, because a lot of painters, like myself will take some of that and a flow improver together to make a mix with our paints. i didn't want anyone thinking they could use white glue for something else like that.
Is it just me or is that variant of stug the ugliest variant
Ryan Cook I agree...the short gun and the open gunner's viewport don't have a good look at all. I really like the late-model StuGs, though - the ausf F.8s and Gs! They're my favourite WWII tanks for sure...what cool looking beasts :)
My personal favourite is the g with side schurzen
Ryan Cook Same here :) I'm working on one now!
Im looking for a panther g in 1 35
Ryan Cook The Tamiya kit is pretty nice but Dragon have better detail but they're also a lot more difficult
