Great job done on the detail painting, Hillbilly! Nice trick with the black and yellow for olive drab. Looking forward for the weathering stage. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you Higher Learning, it means a lot to me that you are watching my little channel! I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as it does to me to build these projects!! Model on and keep watching! Stay safe!!
It's very interesting, we don't see the time passing, i like the way you explain you choices, and side effect, it's relaxing! Thank you very much for sharing. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Zorg, I'm trying to make these videos more pleasing to the viewer, and still convey the process. It's a learning curve for me, I hope I'm getting better at it. Stay safe and model on my friend!
I’m starting this kit now (only my 2nd tank) and working my way through your videos on the subject. Thanks for sharing your work. I’m going to use some of your techniques. Great work!
Awesome, thank you! Greatly appreciated my friend. I really enjoyed the build of this classic Tamiya Sherman. Good luck with your build! Take care and enjoy the hobby! Johnny
Thanks Jared, I'm enjoying this build so much, hope I don't screw it up, lol. I just love modeling, one day I might even get good at it! Till then I've got a lot of practice ahead. Mode on my friend and start a tank kit! Stay safe.
Très belle première partie de vidéo.... beau preombrage et belle peinture sur l'ensemble du char. Ce Sherman est un des chars de la seconde guerre mondiale que je n'ai pas encore.... mais je l'achèterais dans les prochains mois. J'aime beaucoup le travail que vous avez déjà fait..... à très bientôt... fidèlement Lionel
Merci Lionel, j'apprécie vraiment vos gentils mots. C'est un excellent kit et je suis sûr que vous l'apprécierez autant que moi. Restez en sécurité mon ami et je vous verrai dans la prochaine vidéo!
excellent video my friend amazing work on the detail painting the tools look fantastic everything you do is well explained and easy to follow keep up the great work and stay safe
Thanks Rick, I'm looking into different ways to produce nice weld beads. Got a lot of experimenting and learning to do in that area. Stay safe my friend.
...watched a few of your US builds last night - really like the tone of the Vallejo 'Parched Grass', so ordered a 60ml bottle today (and some 'Aged White' to lighten it) - Seems to be the 'perfect' WWII OD to my eye. Cheers from NZ.
Hi Ian, I too like the parched grass as you can tell. I agree with you, it gives a better look as a weathered and slightly faded OD. Perfect for a well-used US vehicle. Take care and model on my friend. Johnny
And I love your comment! Thank you so much Epicforger 12345, I really appreciate you tacking the time to comment, and thanks for the kind remarks. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series as well, stay safe and model on my friend!
Only seen that Vallejo 'Parched Grass' used before on your M6 GMC - it's perfect for the 'brown' version of OD. Going to grab some of that next time I do a paint order.
Just finished Tamiya's M4A3 Sherman tank for a client . Really enjoyed your video and the techniques you use. I used Tamiya acrylics for main painting via my trusty Iwata airbrush and weathering was done using oils , enamel washes and AK weathering pencils which I personally find are better on green or panzer grau AFV's . Lookforward to your next project and wonderful work thank you.
I'm watching the paint work in advance of painting mine and my question is Why Vallejo Paint instead of Tamiya being a Tamiya kit, also what was the ratio with the primer and thinner you used regards.
Hi Allen, great question. You don't need to use any specific brand of paint on your kits, just use what you prefer. Tamiya gives specific color codes for their paint with their kits, as do most other manufactures. This makes it easy to choose your paints/colors especially for those new to the hobby. I like Vallejo water-based paints for the low odor and easy clean-up, and they give a really nice finish. The Tamiya XF series of paint are solvent based and will cause paint to clot if you mix them with a water based thinner. As you would expect, a solvent based paint has a much stronger smell than the water-based paints, so it's just a matter of preference. When adding thinner to any paint for spraying I add just enough thinner to give the consistency of 2% milk. This works as a good starting point no matter what type of paint you use, solvent or water based. You may have to adjust this depending on the size of your airbrush nozzle, mine is a 0.35 mm, and the air pressure you are using. Hopes this helps, take care, good luck with your build! Johnny

When.i built the 75mm version of this kit, I re did all the welding on that kit, because it's wrong. Great work!

Thank you, greatly appreciated my friend. Johnny

It is a unique shade of OD, and it behaves well when airbrushed. Thanks for watching Ian, stay safe and model on my friend!

Great to hear Jurgen 67, Tamiya's are fine kits. Their fit are second to none in my opinion. Glad you enjoyed the video, model on my friend!
