the small spheres on the vertical spring supports were indicators of encumbrance. They had the width of the most protruding parts of the vehicle, to indicate to the driver whether he could go through narrow passages Are used today also.
Yep...started by Packard in the early days. They were indicators so you can see how wide but also they were used in trucking to tell weight when installed on the rear. It wasnt very reliable but it went like this: A larger circle was painted on the wall of a grain barn or a post was put up with a ring on it. A stopper post was received slightly in the ground horizontally at a 90 deg angle. You pulled up to the loader and when the ball centered into the ring or circle they knew it was full when loading from the side or back if closed. Packard saw this and used them on the trucks in front as a makeshift fender indicator. It's still used on some farms in the rear but everywhere in the front.
David...as always, an inspiration. Even down to the empty creamer packs. I have enlisted my co-workers (who drink gallons of coffee) to give them a quick rinse and put them in a special cup on my desk. It won't be long before I have a year's supply.
It is my understanding that the small posts with the ball on top which were painted white (just the ball), served as a visual marker for the width of the vehicle while driving at night with blackout lights so that on coming vehicles could gauge the width of traffic approaching them. It was also done with painted white stripes on the widest point on the front, rear, and side corners. These often became so dirty, that they didn't really accomplish their intended purpose. Although never officially discarded, troops often ignored repainting these markings, especially after 1942.
"... or painkillers." xD it will never cease to amaze me how you'll take an already detailed kit and be like "ehhh, I can make it better." brilliant job, as always!
I know this goes without saying but your skills as a modelist are the finest I have ever witnessed. If I may say sir, I believe your style is of the "Ultra Real". Most Excellent. Perfection. Your skills with panel lining and especially your Weathering Work is far better than any I've encountered. Every Piece I've seen makes me want to be able to paint at this level. Someday...
Great job. You made a small 1/72 scale kit look like a 1/35 scale kit. Wonderful added detailing. Painting and weathering are absolutely marvelous. Technically a perfect build, but aesthetically it lacks one crucial element. Adding a driver figure and/or passengers in the back would elevate the project even higher. Happy modeling. Bill
Exelentní práce, v takovém malém měřítku... Dívám se na to místo večerníčka..:-) Stavěl jsem kdysi 1/35 a teď RC 1/16 a figurky a tohle je vždy pro mě velká inspirace. Čistá práce a super postupy... Ať se i nadále daří....
The only small criticism I can make on this incredible build and paint job, is in the wearing of the wood. It would have bee interesting to wear the paint of were men might have been sitting mores than evenly everywhere. Like where feet would be rubbing on the floor or butts on the seats. It's a small small thing. This is a beautiful build as always!
Nepřestáváte mne udivovat svou šikovností a nápady. Prostě nádhera. Smysl pro detail. Akorát nechápu pár blbců co dali palec dolů. Kdysi za mlada jsem také modelařil tak vím o čem to je. Hodně úspěchů bo budoucna :-)
Heres a challenge for your next model with diorama. Try making a model with wet effects, as though it is in the rain. Would be interested as to how you would accomplish this
Very nice work my friend; your skills in 1/72 are exemplary. I think we’d all like to see you work your magic on a WWII vehicle in 1/35 scale. Naturally the new tank kits (Takom, RFM etc) are almost flawless, so perhaps you could pick one of Tamiya’s much older 1/35 kits and add that Plasmo touch to it. Just a thought... Again, excellent work and video. 🙂👍🏻
Hi, firstly I love and admire your work as it is very intricate and highly detailed, (Museum Quality) models. My question is, why didnt you detail the rifles in the truck as this would have added further acents in the build. But over all your work is absolutely amazing.
Beautiful build as always. One question, why didn't you build the scratchbuilt structure outside of the trucks cargo bay before dropping it in ? Wouldn't it have been easier for you to manipulate all those small pieces outside of the truck's frame ?
Yes, it was, but I do not like painting different sections separately. It is hard to make shading and highlights uniformly. Therefore I rather paint everything together. However, I am talking about 1/72 scale. It this scale it is standard practice.
Daniel Baranovský to su ukazatele najvacsej sirky vozidla, podla nich vodic vie ci sa vojde s cely autom do medzeri, ktorou chce prejst. Aby napriklad nezasekol korbu.
Man how can you find all of these supplies in Hungary, while here in Romania is hard as hell to find this variety of products, or you order them from outside ?

I have been watching you for a while and I love your modeling skills. I am doing a similar build, I am trying out ak interactive filter blue for grey for the first time. I have a question, how do you use a filter without leaving streaks?
Another masterpiece. You make them look so easy to make and finish, but anyone who has ever built a model knows how hard it is to make a kit look as good as you do.
Truth. I love Plasmos 1/72 scale because I build these too, and its very hard to reach his level. I am still trying, and I been building models for 43 years. A true Master.
I built my first model at 14 years old about... a week ago. I am getting a new one to work on soon, and I, by no means, have anywhere near as much experience as you guys, but I think I understand what mastery of the arts you need to create builds like this.
the balls show the driver if he can pass the gap with the vehicle. They are showing to him the width of the vehicle. The rear of the vehicle is widther the the front. If he fits into the gap with the front without toughing the balls with the obstacle, the whole vehicle will get tru. They can be aslo used as help while uploading the vehicle on the train or when you pass ponton bridge.
8:03 "I don't like putty." Oh come on, we all know you love that shit! :D I've seen you filling in and sanding even the most microscopic gaps, so don't even start :)
Since i found this page, I've watched every single one of your videos. Your work is truly remarkable. Also enjoyed looking at your models getting better and better and the dedication and patience you give to your craft.
That wiper blade trick at the end was fantastic!!
the small spheres on the vertical spring supports were indicators of encumbrance. They had the width of the most protruding parts of the vehicle, to indicate to the driver whether he could go through narrow passages
Are used today also.
Absolutely right!!!
thats right! and I still remember when trucks had them when I was a boy :-)
You must be older than dirt lol, nah only kidding grandpa :)
Like a cat's whiskers!

I am not a model builder but how excited I get when a new video drop!😄😄😆😍

Very well done kit! Thumbs up! 👍 The long stick with the ball on the fender is called bumper guide. It’s a help to manoeuvre the vehicle.
I am in love with that kit! If you even read this just know that your kind of talent is legendary. Every new video brings me to a new level of awe.
Hi David! You are simply from another planet!!! Enjoy your videos from Portugal! Abraço

I am here to learn how to do the rusted old look thanks for showing

This vehicle looks more realistic as the real vehicle...my opinion is: i dont like that...but its only my opinion. Nice work!
Wow! The video is a lot smoother!

Nice video dude. Echt gut gemacht. 😉

Great job ! Parabéns. ;)
The ball might be the indicators
If you like 1/72 armor models, please look at Flyhawk Models. They make very high quality panzer 1 and 2.
nice built model
Pokud se nepletu, tak je zo pomůcka pro řidiče, aby věděl kde je kolo a jak je daleko například od stěny při zatáčení nebo při průjezdem uličkou
Daniel Baranovský to su ukazatele najvacsej sirky vozidla, podla nich vodic vie ci sa vojde s cely autom do medzeri, ktorou chce prejst. Aby napriklad nezasekol korbu.
So nice..
yes I think so, just great work as always👍✌
Хорошее видео!!!
Another excellent model and video. And I'm still waiting for that Gundam, to see you do something more unusual than the tanks/planes. :)
Dobrá práca... Nabudúce by mohla byť diorama s havarovaným lietadlom z druhej svetovej vojny
Love the vid can you plz do Su 25T next or in the future.
Nice video !!!!!!!! 😀😀😀
Could you make a diorama of a military base with several different vehicles? Thanks!
I would like to know what PLASMO uses to drill the little holes
Excelente !!!
Budou i nějaké druhoválečné pozemní mechanizace velikosti 1:36 ? Jinak naprosto fantastický stavby.
Jasně plánují do budoucna nějaké 1/35 modely postavit. Bude tam panzer 1 a Stuart.
Respect
Wow good!!😮😮😮
Why use plastic board and not balsawood for the scratchbuild? youd have a wooden structure already in it,
Man how can you find all of these supplies in Hungary, while here in Romania is hard as hell to find this variety of products, or you order them from outside ?
super

I think the Purpose of the ball could be to give the driver awareness of where the front fenders are
It makes sense. Thanks for the info.
PLASMO - plastic models model looks as stunning as always of course
the balls show the driver if he can pass the gap with the vehicle. They are showing to him the width of the vehicle. The rear of the vehicle is widther the the front. If he fits into the gap with the front without toughing the balls with the obstacle, the whole vehicle will get tru.
