Great work as always Rick. Another effective way to tone everything down is a very diluted mix of the base color 90% thinner and spray it all over the model from several inches away. Then you dont have to worry about the tide marks.
Great tip! I thanks Shawn.
Hello Rick . Very well works 👍 You Can incorporated 30 per cent Yellow max , in your green and in your brown .
Sorry for my Bad english .
Thanks for showing the wins and losses. Nice recovery and it’s looking great now. Just finished a build that involved several repaints.
It's all a part of the hobby. They don't always go as planned. Take care, my friend.
Love your channel and your work. Your candor is so refreshing and keeps it real especially for this of us who are pretty new to the hobby. Thank you for such great work!!
You are so welcome!
Same with my last two stug builds.Both ended up with winter camo schemes,my cop put when I can’t bear my results.
Winter or Mud....armor saviors. Thanks, Darron.
I totaly understand you. You fighted it till the end, and you won... 😀 But I quite liked the buisy first cammo, just those cammo colours should be much more faded, as you said... Anyway, good job...
Thanks, my friend. Yes, I just started out on the wrong foot and rather than make small adjustments at the beginning, I compounded. I also like the first pattern and will most likely do something similar on another project.
Hi Rick, a great effort on your paint finish, i thi k wd all get frustrated when painting our models, too dark too light, or is it the wrong colour, that is one of the joys of this hobby, bext regards from Australia.☺☺
I know that I'm not the only one who has these moments, and that is what I hope came across on this video. We work alone, we struggle alone...but regardless, we share many of the same trials. Thanks, Les.
It seems like you really did have a struggle with this one, Rick, but I applaud you for sticking with it. It truly looks great now, and as always, I'll be eager to see the next instalment. 😀 👏
Thanks Vincent. Yes, the struggle was real.
@Rick Lawler : Propaganda Totally understand. Wish I had your patience 😂
Good stuff. I have repainted many times. Sometimes just going back with armor yellow in between the green and red br. Is good too.
Yes, repainting is OK - nothing to be ashamed about (at least that is what I keep telling myself!!).
Looks good. That was good decision to repaint this. All the best for You! ;)
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work Rick, i agree with you about the first scheme being too busy and the 2nd looks great, good to see you show that things cab be changed and not to give up. Cheers
Thanks 👍
Hi Rick. I find a lot of inspiration in your videos, a big thank you for that. I must admit at a certain point in the painting I wanted to stop looking, but I am glad I didn't. It turned out beautiful. Keep up the good work.
Thanks...yes, this one fought me a little....
@@RickLawlerPropaganda But you won 😊
Well done. Amazing work. 😉
Thank you! 😁
Great Video Rick!! its very similar to my regular painting to be honest, I haven't your experience, so while you might feel frustrated, it totally connects with me because its what I go through😁 Take Care, Bill
It happens...and I fell that it's important that we share the struggles, along with the nice finished results. There is a story there...and perhaps inspiration?
@@RickLawlerPropaganda Totally inspiring because it lets me know that its part of the journey!!! Thanks again Rick!!
Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of this whole match, Rick! The biggest take away for me - and a lesson I wish I would have learned when I was much younger- is that you can always "reset" and adjust along the way. See too many people get to that first hint of "this isn't working out" and toss the whole project in the bin 😞
Thanks Chris. I have a personal resolution that I build one project at a time, and finish that project - no matter what. That is just me. However, it has taught me to work through issues such as this. I hope that being open with my struggles, which are universal struggles, provides a bit of influence and comfort.
Great work mate.❤😊
Thanks ✌️
Looking Good!
Thanks!
As always I am very impressed. This time it was filter mixed right on the model
Thank you!
Its great to see the ARGGGHHH of modelling included. Keeps it real!
Thanks, Paul. Yes, this is "real". ARGGGGHHH. LOL
I think both camos looked great.
could have gone either way, for sure. Thanks
Way to pull thur it brother! Looking good
Thanks 👍
Amazing stug IV¡!¡!
Thank you.
Less is more !!! More or less !
True.
Yeah .... I've repainted several models! It looks really good but I actually like the first one better.....it looked a bit rough and busy but I have loads of photos of StuGs and pzivs that look busy. This is why I dread the painting part.
As I mentioned, once I got to a certain spot I also liked the first pattern...but...you saw what I ultimately decided. I do like the pattern/idea and am sure that I'll use it on a future project. Thanks for watching.
Hey Rick, whilst i always find your videos very engaging, I can’t help thinking that acrylic wash / filter is not a great thing for newb to try; sure you get there in the end - like you always do! - but imho having a stab with oils both early in the process and also early in one’s modelling ‘career’ would be a better option. I will admit bias in that i ditched all my myriad enamel products and am oils all the way now; but i guess a bit difficult if you are sponsored by one of said enamel product producers! Thanks again for an honest vid - always refreshing. Nick
Hi. Interesting discussion. First, while I am affiliated with AK, I don't model to push any particular product or technique. I use AK products because I have access to them and they produce good results, the same way I use Mr. Surfacer. What you see on this channel is me, doing my work. I understand that acrylic washes are perhaps "dangerous", or advanced technique, but what I'm doing is describing my process on a particular model. I try to explain the risks, perhaps I should try to do better at this for the less experienced modelers.. For instance, in the past, I ground up the Weathering Pencils into a slurry and ran it through my airbrush just to see the results. I experiment, I take chances - some ideas work, some don't. I show them all. I appreciate that you find the video honest and refreshing. I do appreciate the feedback, it gives me things to consider as I try to relay my love of modeling and what I do to others. Thanks, Nick.
Rick, can I make a suggestion, if you need to tone down or blend your camo, try a dust coat of the colour Buff, sort of ties everything together and tones it down.
Good Idea, thanks
@@RickLawlerPropaganda Not my idea, but I've seen plenty of other modellers use this technique.
what color did you use for the light dust color? AK light sand?
Adding 3 tone camo on a small vehicle with zimmerit can be a challenge! Wait until you paint a Japanese Hago!
It was Grimy Grey - AK Gen 3.
Old wise man once told me. Never paint model while angry 🤣
I need to speak to your wiseman!!!! Take care, Jon.
Happens to all of us. Frustrating as hell, but what can you do other than cool off and pick up the airbrush? The nice thing is that everything done can generally be undone.
Most everything can be "undone"! LOL Thanks for watching, John.
Ya Oils are the best for that not acrylics IMO. Acrylic paints can be very finicky.
Thanks for watching.
Being honest. Im not a fan of the scheme. It's like you have 2 or 3 different types of camo schemes. The area between the tc and loaders hatch, the front of the upper superstructure then the rear deck with the "U" of yellow. I think it needs more camo colors "touching" each other. In all honesty, ive had models battle me with camo finishes . I hope you don't think I'm being an ass. You are one of my favorites when it comes to schemes. But i can see why you had such issues with it.
I appreciate your honest thoughts! Thanks, Will.
