Astonishing model and above all your techique. You're a champion. I'm doing now Merkava III from Academy and I will try some of your steps. I will say that I'm a lousy student. You must have patient. Congratulations. Bravo!!! José Lucas Lisbon Portugal
Fantastic video my friend beautifully finished love the extra details really adds that realism to the build great techniques and well explained thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍🙏
Wspaniały! Of course the painting and standard weathering techniques provide a great foundation, but the additional details you added take this to another level. I think the final appearance is nearly perfect, bravo 👏
Model looks great and very realistic ... Love the little touches (. 50 cal belt connectors are a genius addition imo) and all the attention to detail... And you've inspired me to add a chain to my Sherman Jumbo model 😉. Love the channel.... Keep going
Excellent work you continue to delivery a very high standard of finish, well done. Have you considered using a calligraphy pen knib for application of pin washes, it allows a much more accurate application of the washes? Just dip the pen knib in the wash and away you go, much more accurate than using a paint brush.
Lukas! a truly well done superb detailing and very inspiring I have yet to build any Merkeva but this has now changed in my opinion and I will now go ahead and build one! many thanks for showing your techniques and frank narrative both amusing and straight to the point. I look forward to your next project. 👍😎
Whats not to like? Amazing attention to detail as always. For us who try to copy and fail miserably ....could you add captions to the screen for the details of the items you use....what type of pencil/paintbrush you use for example....it would eliminate some guesswork, thanks for another great video and build.
Darren, for me it's not a problem to answer the question about stuff I use. Even better to write smth and discuss than adding some single pic or caption. SO if you have any doubts just let me know :) Thx for your comment! :)
Hi Lukasz. I really don't want to take up your time but i'd really appreciate if you could tell me what paintbrush you used for the chipping and what grade of pencil you prefer for the metallic detailing?! Thanks again.
@@DazP2835 for chipping I used 3/0 or 5/0 paintbrush from AK or some local Polish brand Kozlowski. And about the pencil I really like 4B becasue it is really soft. But I also used mechanical hard pencil to make some really small scratches.
Nice work! Did you use White Spirit to fix pigments to sides of the hull as well? Didn't it blend the pigment around, ruining these nice streaks you've made? Asking as I'm currentlu trying to figure out how to make dust streaks on my Merkava (it's my first tank scale model).
@@coldemonsplokay, thanks! Yeah, by dust streaks I meant the 18:00 minute, because when I use white spirit on such flat surface it just mess the effect blending it and spreading all over, not keeping such sharp detail of dust
To answer your question, I think a compromise is most fitting for the final result. It is a fucking cool and great piece of Shit 😂. Jokes aside, this is a great result!!
Amazing, pay attention - in reality\combat, there were not be any visible items (such as bags or oranges... especially with bright colors), In genera. If you do add, it should be "kitbag" pack and should be strained to the hole.
Well, discussing. But what is the most important is that this is a model and need to be eyecatcher. This is why I add the additional stuff. The 100% copy of reality on the model looks boring and flat. :)
I feel that the debate in modeling circles around how realistic a model should be, versus how artistic it should be, will never be settled. I have a 1/35 T-34/85 I built in 1989, and it is boring and flat. I whole-heartedly believe that today’s techniques of colour modulation, chipping, oil-dot filters, etc. make for a far more appealing and interesting result.
@@coldemonspl Agree, some unique spots of colors adds alot, What bother me also is the water bottles are now Israeli titled :) You invest so much in making this real, those small details like the oil spots.. All in all, amazing job!
@@roeyil These bottles are from... hmm. Dont know exaclty :) But this is still the detail in group with oranges and stuff just to make some more interest as I said before. Thx for your comments! :)
Cosmetic cotton buds are not really suitable for modelling as they leave cotton strands everywhere. Gun cleaning swabs are usually wound much tighter and normally have pretty stiff wooden handles as well. Way better than the cheap makeup ones.

A great job has been done, the best Merkava build on youtube so far, where did you get the aerials from? Looking forward to your next my friend.
Paul, please check the Quick Wheel store - link in the video description. They have super set with different antennas used on IDF vehicles. :)
great work :)
Thank you! :)
Top work highest level :)
Dzięki Daniel!! :)
looks great :)
thx! :)
Super robota
Dzięki!! :)
Jaki sztos!
Dzięki! :)
This is excellent! Why did you use pigment fixer in some spots but not in others?
Thanks to this I have different pigment appearance :)
Nice work! Did you use White Spirit to fix pigments to sides of the hull as well? Didn't it blend the pigment around, ruining these nice streaks you've made? Asking as I'm currentlu trying to figure out how to make dust streaks on my Merkava (it's my first tank scale model).
Yep, I used WS. Dust streaks? Try to find rain marks effect and how to use it :)
@@coldemonsplokay, thanks! Yeah, by dust streaks I meant the 18:00 minute, because when I use white spirit on such flat surface it just mess the effect blending it and spreading all over, not keeping such sharp detail of dust
@@kurchees7723 I dont fixed the pigment at all. and if I added WS it is just drop[ped and dryed with the accelerator. No blending or other touching.
@@coldemonsplOkay! Thanks for the quick answer!
Amasing job
thx :)
Perfect, and you could even add an israeli flag. I saw many photo where the tank has a flag attached to an antenna.
Yes, I forgot about it. But there is a lot of IDF models to build in the future so next time! :)
nice video, did you apply matt varnish before black wahs?
Uhh I dont remember - you need to watch it carefully. if so it will be in the movie ,:)
Coś pięknego 🥰
Dzięki! :)
Excellent video. What size brush did ylu use for chips?
Thx Henri! I use 3/0 and 5/0.
The antennas (aerials) you used on this Merkava, how did you make them and what did you use? I really like them.
This is the set from Bits Krieg. Please visit the store quickwheelstore.com
I am not seeing them on this particular website. @@coldemonspl

Do i need to use topcoat before wash? Cuz i try wash with enamel base without topcoat. It damage my base paint
Not always but to be sure that everything will be ok use it but acrylic topcoat before enamel washes :)

hahahahahha, thank you for your answer!!!! :)

Thank you! :)
最近、ウクライナ動乱映像なんかのロシア戦車もベッカー高原で戦ったタイプと異なるイスラエル発案増加装甲型T-72が多いみたいだし、デビュー当時のメルカバ対T-72の戦闘がそのまま、教訓にはならないけど！？更に以前、第四次中東戦争の地上戦でエジプトのサガーミサイルの餌食になってしまったマガフ、防御不足のアメリカ製戦車みたいで、絶大な戦訓があってもミサイルで何もかも悲惨になってしまったみたいです💥
@@鎌田英明-c6f thx! :)

Perfekt!!!!!!
Thx a lot mate! :)
What kind of stains did you use on the turret?
Thinned oil paints or/and enamel paints :)
I like it
thx! :)
how you make the atenna？scratch from metal rods？
No, this is ready product of RB Model. It is 2m version.
How many hours spend?? Such details!
I don't remember but a lot :)

Cosmetic cotton buds are not really suitable for modelling as they leave cotton strands everywhere. Gun cleaning swabs are usually wound much tighter and normally have pretty stiff wooden handles as well. Way better than the cheap makeup ones.
You right! :)
I like it
