- Hello everyone!
Today we are going to start weathering the StuG III! We will dive into oil color modulation, tool painting, worn winter white, chipping, and metal effects. If this video does seem a little rushed, well, that's because it was...I promise that its not going to be the new normal, and the next series may be a little slower, but you guys will get ALL the juicy detalis.

It's nice work. I think oil painting is new way still now. So, there would be many ways from now on. This video is very interesting and easy to understand what you wan to do. Correction. It's excellent work ! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed. I find that oil paints are one of the best modelling tools to have in your arsenal.
Good update. Keep up the good work mate
Thanks!
Weathering stages are going really well. Keep up the great work
Thanks Steve! Glad you've been enjoying the series!
Excellent work! In all honesty I have never tried the Tamiya panel liner but it always looks great. I should pick some up just to try it out. I also loved the oil work to make highlights and shadows on certain panels, and to map in some more winter whitewash. I wouldn't worry too much about the chipping...after you went in with the darker colour, and the rust (and the toothpick!) it toned it back somewhat...plus, it visually blends nicely with your heavily chipped winter camouflage, so to me it looks like much of the 'excess' sponge chipping colour could just be some of the winter white hanging around in small flakes. It looks right to me, at least :)
I will look forward to seeing how you did the mud you showed at the end there. From Patreon I know you used real dirt, which is always an excellent technique since you can't get better than the real thing! Take care.
Thanks my friend! I'm glad that the chipping doesn't look too bad. The oil work is something I was actually happy about...and about only that ;P. Yeah, I forgot to do a spinning shot of the final work, so that was what I could come up with it the time frame. I really hope that the mud turns out ok! Not like the tiger...fingers crossed!
Also, be super careful to protect the model before you use Tamiya panel liner. Its SUPER aggressive, and anything besides fully varnished paintjobs can handle it. Also, don't use matt varnish, the stuff will soak in and stay...permanently. I may or may not have learned from experience...multiple times lol
I just want to make a comment about painting all the tools the same color as the vehicle.
Back in the late 1980s I use to drive tour bus in Alaska and the yukon and one of our contracts was with a German company. On one trip I got a flat tire on a Sunday not to far from Tok Alaska. I limped the bus back into town where we were staying over night so J had dinner and then set to work on changing the wheel. About 15 minutes in to the job 2 of my passengers came out and offered to help. As the work continued they started tell stories of having to do repairs in the field on their tanks. One of them was on the western front and the other was fighting on the eastern front. One thing the both had in common was that their company comanders both required the tools of the vehicle be checked every 2 or 3 when days possible . This inclueded removing them from the vehicle and testing any moveable parts like on the jacks and the tools were never to be painted as this could lead to problems when the crew needed to do repairs in a hurry or under fire. A other thing they both had in common was the reporting of lost tools when they were not really lost, this would give them a couple of a certian type of tool and different tanks would report the loss of diferent tools.
To me these policies would make sense as it could mean the difference between life and death.
That does make sense! I'm glad that I have been doing that correctly. If I wasn't clear in the video, the paint I used was to simulate rusted, old metal. That must have been a really cool experience, to work next to WWII tank mechanics. Was the jack painted?
Heard the same thing from a guy at the Bovington tank museum, the German tetra fire extinguishers would jam up when painted over making them useless, they had been told by german veterans that all tools,cables and other equipment were required to be removed before any painting was carried out although pictures show this was often ignored.
Thanks David! I find that much more realistic looking than Dunkelgelb-painted tools.
And now i feel dumb, sorry Davyd, completely spelled your name wrong before.e
Looks great! I love stubs!
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it!
Looks good. Just curious why did you do the white wash before the pin wash and distressing? Not criticizing just wondering about the reasoning. *the initial application
I distressed the tank before i did white wash. Distressing was before varnish, and then whitewash. I did it before pinwash because I found that it generally looks better when you pinwash after the whitewash. Thanks for the question!
@@ScaleStudioModeling gonna give it a try. Thanks.
Glad to be of assistance. Have you voted on for the next model yet? I'd love to hear your input...let me know which you'd like to see!
