Well done David, you have done justice to this old kit and the end result is excellent. I have had this kit in my stash for nearly thirty years and seeing your build has inspired me to have a go, I have nearly finished and just the painting to go. All the best and take care.
Happy new year! very good project and beside your charisma is brilliant as always. Only is need add that the Ausf.B was an improved version of the first model. It appeared in 1936 and was built until 1938, with around 675 machines produced. The main difference was a longer chassis (by 40 cm) with one more bogie wheel, in order to accommodate a much more reliable and powerful water-cooled, six-cylinder Maybach NL 38 TR delivering 90 bhp, along with a new gearbox. The suspension was also largely improved. The weight rose to 5.8 tons, but neither the armament nor armor were modified. Keep being yourself, as person and modelist you are amazing, thanks by your efforts
That's a very nice brief history you wrote and a very kind message that you added. Thanks you so much for your kind words. I honestly appreciate them 😀
Happy new year, dude! I remember when your figure faces were one flat colour, now your model's faces look amazing. You've really become an amazing modeller over the decade.
Thanks Marader623! It's hard to believe that I posted videos for ten years now. But you are right, my figure painting skills have improved over the years. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year! Take care.
Hey sir just wanted to say i love your rendition of this kit, with a kit as old as Italeri's Pz.1 you truly pulled it off! the preshading style with different colors is interesting and i have never seen it before, but i think im going to try it. All i can say is thank you for making outstanding videos, i remember back in 2012, when i was 11 watching your maus video over and over again (this was the time when i wanted to build the biggest tank i could because bigger is better of course) and just religiously watching every new video. thanks for making such great content sir!
I'm glad you like it. It's not too often I hear from people who tell me that they are a loyal viewer. I feel humbled by knowing that. You should try color variations, like mine, a try. I'm not too sure but I think when we see objects that has one color, in reality, we see many different colors but it's too much information for our brain to interpret so we filter out the minor color variations and just interpret it as one color. I might be wrong but I'm sure an eye expert such as an optometrist can verify this. Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy this experiment. I with you and your family a happy new year! Take care.
@@qdc748a I sure will try out the technique, I'm sure your correct on how the brain perceives color and I think that it would look super interesting on a mustard painted panzer! thank you for your response and have a great day! :)
@@ryanshobbies how I chose my bright colors was using a n artist color chart called the "color wheel". What I used is the "complimentary color" of the color I used. Since I added blue to the grey, I used the complimentary colors. For your project, you are using mustard which made of mostly green, red, and yellow so you will look up it's complimentary colors on the color wheel. Look it up. I hope this helps 😊
@@qdc748a Ah that makes total sense, i was wondering what way you chose the colors but that makes total sense, im sure this technique could be used on aircraft too to make some interesting color modulation there, but for a heavily weathered tank this technique sure looks great! thanks so much for the help! :)
Thanks Gilbert for your kind words. I used new techniques on this kit and I think I will use it again on my next project. My next kit will be the recently released Canadian Ram tank by Bronco.
A lovely model and scenery you have built there mate! The kit may be old, but it can still turn into a gem with a little bit of extra work and a good paint job and weathering.
@@MarcoDominic Hamilkar Barkas and I are good friends from the beginning about 10 years ago! We saw each other videos and also saw our skills grow over years!
Happy New Year David ! Great build , that's a nice little model , built it last year. Wish you the best to you and your family , including Buster. I just realized that your cat is French and got revenge for the Blitzkrieg ! Bad Panzer ! Take care , Tony
Cute, Tony. It's cool to know that you too built this classic kit. I think you're right, there must be some French blood in Buster. He only knocked the box down when I started talking about Blitzkrieg. :) Anyway, I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. Take care.

Hello John. I also want to wish you a great and creative year as well, thank you. Also, thanks for watching this video. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year! :)
You are welcome. My next kit will be the recently released Canadian Ram tank by Bronco. It's an obscure tank that I never heard of so I bought the kit. Happy new year to you and your family.
fantastic work, especially given the age of the kit! I was so excited when i saw the notification for this when i was at work that i couldnt wait to get home. Great to see the beautiful buster as well
Hi James, I'm flattered that you look forward watching my videos. Gee---I don't know what else more I can say but thanks. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year.
Thank you so much for sharing another fine build! I really enjoyed seeing you and your big cat again. The music and slideshow always makes for a totally relaxing experience. Happy New Year and wishing you the best throughout the year! I had this kit but never finished it so it was good seeing your completed work, too cool.
Very nice build! You are always pushing the art of modeling a little further with each of your builds and I really like that! The techniques I learn from you make me a better modeler! Huge thanks! And keep the builds coming in 2020! Have a great new year QDC!
I was never much of a stagnant man. If I can see improvements or new ideas I can use in my hobby, I'll give it a try. This model really shows it. You are welcome and thanks for watching my videos. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. :)
Happy new year Col. Another fine piece of work. You've done a brill job and I love the weathering you've done. I know when we've chatted in private before you've said you mix your own paints, we'll you've nailed it from my opinion. Stay safe buddy

Very nicely done Q! I really enjoy small dioramas like this and the Pzkpfw I is one you don't see very often. I really liked the technique where you added the "mud" during building, I will definitely give that a try on one of my projects. Super video, take care, -scott in colorado
Hi Scott. As far as I know, there are not a lot of turreted version of the Panzer One kits on the market. I see mostly variations of the Panzer One out there. Applying mud before painting works well for me. I feel that I have more control over it's color when I do it this way. Of course, its only a preference. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. Take care :)
Thanks William! I think I've been doing this for over 10 years now. My purpose for making videos has never changed. I make these videos to encourage others to build their own model kits and also to grow the model kit building community. Take care.
Really nice job. The weathering looks good and I love the way you brought the whole thing to life with the little diorama. It's not the most detailed figure but you've painted it very well. One thing though, last time it was cookery, now it's gardening! I am getting confused! The lavender idea was very nifty. (The missus would kill me if she caught me messing with her garden so I'll pass on that trick).
Hi Michael. It's too bad that your wife is going to be upset if you touch her garden. In my garden, Lavenders grow like weeds so I have to periodically yank them out-that's how I got the idea of using it as a tree for my diorama. This old kit was fun and I was a little surprised it turn out looking good. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. Take care :)
Yes, they are! I think I do not deserve it because there are other better model kit videos on UA-cam. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year. Take care :)
@@qdc748a Don't sell yourself short, QDC....its refreshing to see someone who simply likes to build model kits...some find that appealing. I build models for my own personal enjoyment, not to satisfy some rivet-counting, IPMS judge.

This might be an old kit but that hasn't stopped you building an excellent model and diorama. Great work Colin , Happy New Year to you and your family.......and Buster too 😃👍
Thanks. Painting figures is hard because it's so tiny. The only honest advice I can give you is to have patience and keep practicing until you achieve the results you want.
Hello Jose. I'm glad you like the new techniques I used for this project. I tend to challenge myself to be better. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year.
While the flashing on this thing is quite horrendous I think the detail is quite remarkable for such an old kit, and you really managed to bring it to life! It'd be really interesting to see you build one of the new 1/16 Takom Panzer I's as a sort of comparison to see how much modern manufacturing has improved the details of this little vehicle.
I mix my own colors. I used a combination of enamel paints and artist oil colors. I painted the enamel colors first. After it tries, then I use art oil paints to add the shadows and highlights.
Thank you for the reply with detailed explanation. I didn't expect that you were using a various paints. Anyway field grey on his coat is really good that is not too greenish than Tamiya's one.

Hi! Just going back and looking at your dioramas as I am building my first tank and want to make a little base. Do you use the pre mixed tile grout? Take care! Drew
@@Drewsmodels Yes, but be sure that the wood is rough and porous enough to absorb the tile grout. If it's smooth and has a finish such as varnish, it will not adhere.
Hello Javier. I hope I can make more model kits. It all depends on my work. My next kit will be the recently released Canadian Ram tank by Bronco. I wish you and your family a happy new year. Take care :)
In addition to using the hulls for training, they would also mount the turret as part of their fortifications. Alot still exist, especially along the Atlantic Wall. Check out some of WWIIHistoryHunter's videos. He's found quite a few.
@@qdc748a That's great. I like his videos. Here's one he did that showcases some panzer turrets being used in fortifications. Don't know if you saw it. If not, enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/IkPjDwDP5jk/v-deo.html
It's just a trophy plaque I bought at my local craft store called "Michael's". It comes in many sizes and shapes. I do not know which country you are from but I think most art supply store will have one. Take care. :)
Hobbyboss have took over the old Tristar moulds and released a whole series of the panzer 1s and panzer 4s I have mostly them all now I ordered alot on this past couple of months the panzer 1 ausf A has a full interior and engine etc I'm away to build i have the flak panzer 1 too and the 38ts theres many and the detail is amazing! If your interest in the panzer 1s and finding it hard to get check out hobby boss new kits! Very recommended you will love them! There is alot of differences to the panzer 1 A and B and the detail to the italiri is just second to non! Theres only 6 road wheels to the 7 on the B the front wheel was a different stronger steel to the rest so keep an eye out for the different front wheel! It might not be in detail on this old kit but it is in the new hobby boss kits so keep a lookout for that 1 different wheel
Nice video and on the history side that tanks armour was weak and the machine guns weren't belt fed (not mg 34) it was a magazine fed and held little more than a soldier might have in his m16/ak47 today. When we see these tanks they trundle along on historical film showing them on operations 1939 till as late as the 'F'type in Russia . Remember what Poland had to fight them was TP7 tanks which was slightly better and a tankett armed with machine guns or a 20mm gun which proved useful.Some tanks were painted with a brown camo patten on the grey . Thanks for sharing as many sites show off bigger tanks which many find to expensive to buy and paint .
Very nice work on that Panzer. Unfortunately the history was wrong. The Germans trained for the Blitzkrieg by fighting in the Spanish civil war. They fought on the Nationalist side, The Condor Legion. My grandfather fought for the Nationalist, and has many pictures of the Panzers. Other than that, beautiful work!
Great build bud! Nice to see you posting again.Always a pleasure to watch.

This video doesn't taught us to build this model but also learned thru its history..

Happy new year! very good project and beside your charisma is brilliant as always. Only is need add that the Ausf.B was an improved version of the first model. It appeared in 1936 and was built until 1938, with around 675 machines produced.

Excellent work.
Thank you Jared for watching my video. Take care.
Awesome work QDC! I need to learn how to paint eyes like you . Your flesh tone is spot on .
Thanks. Painting figures is hard because it's so tiny. The only honest advice I can give you is to have patience and keep practicing until you achieve the results you want.
Start the New Year with Busters Butt-Hole :D Good to see you back qdc, looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future ! Happy New Year
Thanks 😊. My next project will be Bronco Canadian Ram tank.
Awesome diorama! Already cant wait for the next one 😁
Thanks. My next kit will be the recently released Canadian Ram tank by Bronco. It's an obscure tank that I never heard of so I bought the kit.
Great build and video just a suggestion some mud on the drive sprocket
I will do that next time. Thanks. :)
Fantastic work!! And a have a happy new year!!
Thank you. Happy new year!
It’s a great work, Collin. I like the new technics for the paintwork. Really, I enjoyed the video. Have a Happy New Year! Greetings from México
Hello Jose. I'm glad you like the new techniques I used for this project. I tend to challenge myself to be better. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year.
While the flashing on this thing is quite horrendous I think the detail is quite remarkable for such an old kit, and you really managed to bring it to life! It'd be really interesting to see you build one of the new 1/16 Takom Panzer I's as a sort of comparison to see how much modern manufacturing has improved the details of this little vehicle.
I might one of these days. :)
The figure turn out fabulously,, qdc.😁🌧🔥
Thanks. I'm getting better at painting figures!
Very nice job qdc. I really enjoy your videos!
Hi qdc, it's really nice job! BTW, what colors did you use for the figure, especially for his coat??
I mix my own colors. I used a combination of enamel paints and artist oil colors. I painted the enamel colors first. After it tries, then I use art oil paints to add the shadows and highlights.
Also, I mix my own colors so I can't give you a brand name. Sorry.
Thank you for the reply with detailed explanation. I didn't expect that you were using a various paints.
Anyway field grey on his coat is really good that is not too greenish than Tamiya's one.
Nice build QDC, happy new year!!!!
Thanks and happy new year. I hope 2020 will be a good year for your and your family.
Great job as always my friend, Happy New Year to you and your family !

Hi! Just going back and looking at your dioramas as I am building my first tank and want to make a little base. Do you use the pre mixed tile grout? Take care! Drew
I normally would like to mix my own but the pre-mixed one is just fine. Lately, I'm using ordinary white plaster lately. 😊
@@qdc748a seems like an easy and cheap method! I can’t find any Vallejo earth effects products and would have to order online.
@@Drewsmodels Okay 😃
@@qdc748a does the grout bond well to wood?
@@Drewsmodels Yes, but be sure that the wood is rough and porous enough to absorb the tile grout. If it's smooth and has a finish such as varnish, it will not adhere.
Happy new year QDC. Long time no ser. I hope this year You post more often👍
Hello Javier. I hope I can make more model kits. It all depends on my work. My next kit will be the recently released Canadian Ram tank by Bronco. I wish you and your family a happy new year. Take care :)
Hello I want to know what s the color name that you used to paint the Panzer I, thank you and you did an awesome work.
I mix my own colors. Sorry.
Best thing about Olive Garden...sometimes Dino is on the PA😀
In addition to using the hulls for training, they would also mount the turret as part of their fortifications. Alot still exist, especially along the Atlantic Wall. Check out some of WWIIHistoryHunter's videos. He's found quite a few.
Thanks Stephen. I just looked at two WWIIHistoryHunter videos. It's very interesting to see this man find artifacts from the past.
@@qdc748a That's great. I like his videos. Here's one he did that showcases some panzer turrets being used in fortifications. Don't know if you saw it. If not, enjoy.

Very nice and beautiful model i absolutely love the painting keep up the good work, also would you recommend this as a tank for beginners?
Thanks. Yes, it is a good kit for beginners but they stop producing it. You can find this kit on E-bay.
@@qdc748a Ah thank you.
awesome
Thank you my friend for writing that.
great build qdc. what cam are u using?
You are welcome. I'm using an older Cannon SX160 camera.
I also wanted to know how it's called and where you bought the base where you made the diorama, thanks
It's just a trophy plaque I bought at my local craft store called "Michael's". It comes in many sizes and shapes. I do not know which country you are from but I think most art supply store will have one. Take care. :)
Thank you, I am from argentina
I wish you a Happy & Prosperous New Year
Thank you Brian. I want to wish you and your family a happy new year as well. :)
Got to love the cat
Buster is a nice guy. Thanks.
Happy new year mate! :-D
Thanks Aaron! Happy new year and thanks for watching my video. Take care.
Hobbyboss have took over the old Tristar moulds and released a whole series of the panzer 1s and panzer 4s I have mostly them all now I ordered alot on this past couple of months the panzer 1 ausf A has a full interior and engine etc I'm away to build i have the flak panzer 1 too and the 38ts theres many and the detail is amazing! If your interest in the panzer 1s and finding it hard to get check out hobby boss new kits! Very recommended you will love them! There is alot of differences to the panzer 1 A and B and the detail to the italiri is just second to non! Theres only 6 road wheels to the 7 on the B the front wheel was a different stronger steel to the rest so keep an eye out for the different front wheel! It might not be in detail on this old kit but it is in the new hobby boss kits so keep a lookout for that 1 different wheel
Old kit looks nice i am working on ah m1a2 5 in 1 by trumpter
Thanks for the kind words. I hope you will enjoy your project 😊. Take care my friend 😊
@@qdc748a I would like to show you my kits me and my dad model of course my dad has been modeling much longer the me
Nice video and on the history side that tanks armour was weak and the machine guns weren't belt fed (not mg 34) it was a magazine fed and held little more than a soldier might have in his m16/ak47 today. When we see these tanks they trundle along on historical film showing them on operations 1939 till as late as the 'F'type in Russia . Remember what Poland had to fight them was TP7 tanks which was slightly better and a tankett armed with machine guns or a 20mm gun which proved useful.Some tanks were painted with a brown camo patten on the grey . Thanks for sharing as many sites show off bigger tanks which many find to expensive to buy and paint .
missed seeing your videos.
Thanks for caring about me. Touching!
Very nice work on that Panzer. Unfortunately the history was wrong. The Germans trained for the Blitzkrieg by fighting in the Spanish civil war. They fought on the Nationalist side, The Condor Legion. My grandfather fought for the Nationalist, and has many pictures of the Panzers. Other than that, beautiful work!
Thanks for the information and thank you for watching my video. 😃😃
