😂 he fell out….i had every intention to put a driver and a few figures on with it, but I wasn’t feeling the kits originals, and eBay let me down! But it was still a fun and excellent kit! Thanks for the feed back!

Cheers dude! Appreciate it, and yeah sure, I just used some clear 3D printing resin and let it pool in like a round dome shape before I cured it with my uv touch and broke it up to make it look like clear glass broken? Hope that’s helpful?

Cheers! I was actually wondering about the thinner stuff you flow into the wheels before the pigments!! Good tip on the clear printing resin though, I have some of that and now have another use for it!!!

This hobby is already expensive enough! Gotta find a use for everything haha! And the thinner is just standard enamel thinner, think it’s the humbol one? Makes the pigment stick a bit better? But can still brush away any excess?

​@@135scalefailawesome, thanks, I get my first pigments tomorrow and have enamel thinner, I'll give it a go!!!

Hey mate, thank you so much, and all I did to make the flag, was cut up a square/rectangle piece of tissue (not toilet roll) tissue you get from the little packs? And just used a pencil to draw it out and painted it with some thinned down tamiya paint, then Jobs a gooden! Hope that’s helpful?

Hey Craig, i used a cut up piece of tissue, not toilet roll, find that’s too brittle, the type you find in the pocket packs of tissue, mixed in with some pva and water and you have a nice tarp/canvas

@@135scalefail ok cool thanks, i assume the same material for the turret (base of the barrel).

Yeah that’s right I’m going to assume your building something similar?

@@135scalefail yeah i got the Mk5 a few days ago, i'm wanting to paint it black and green, but i'm not too keen on nato black, i'm also considering adding some cam net to the side bins on the turret.

Hello again, do you have any ideas to help me with making front mudflaps for the Mk5

Thanks man, really appreciate that, been away for a while now, but I’ll be putting a new vid up really soon! ✌🏼

Hey Craig, thanks for the compliment, and for the chipping I used AK heavy chipping fluid in the airbrush, just spray it on let it dry, paint your top coat and use warm water with a stiff brush to take it off, and the stowage bins I used a tealight candle and softened the plastic and used the butt end of a paint brush to add a dent. Hope that’s helpful?

@@135scalefail Hey dont mention it, I really enjoyed the video it was very educational i'm pretty much new to detailed modelling, i've almost finished a T-34/76 and my first attempt at detailing... weathering, chipping etc. My next challenge is the Mk 5 and i'd like to dedicate the Mk 5 build to my old Sgt and my father who both served during the tanks service.

Thanks man appreciate it! Sometimes I feel like you can get to into faces and end up scrapping the whole thing, so I find if you hold it out far enough and squint if it looks alright then it probably is? Haha, but you have to keep it simple to much and you loose interest

@@135scalefail - great advice!

Thank you sir 👍🏻 had fun doing it, wanted to do something different but the next one should be good!

Thanks man! Never done anything like it before, so it was great when it worked out in the end haha

Good morning modelcomrade haha, thank you so much…you never know, it might be happening 😜 haha

Thanks man, hope you enjoyed the watch? I’m still learning but I appreciate the kind words

Thanks a lot 👍🏻 not sure about talented? But appreciate the kind words

Oh really? That’s great to know! Not used to showing people new things, so I’m glad what I’m doing is helping?

Thank you so much! 👍🏻

Woah a masterpiece!? You flatter me sir! Haha thanks dude! Really appreciate the kind words!

Ahh thank you so much man! You’re too kind! Defo need to work on my camera skills 😂

@@135scalefail I enjoy building and painting, but the way I like. I like to joke with some of my builds. I have a Tiger painted metallic red, with a decal of the Virgin de Guadalupe on the side. I am going to chrome the wheels or make spinners for the wheels.

@@135scalefail I got that, I also have the idea to paint a German Leopard just like a real leopard with spots. I have a few with accurate or proper paint schemes. It just kinda comes out when I start the build. "So many kits, so little time"

@@135scalefail Unfortunately, I do not do any social media, otherwise I would post photos of my work. I have entered into the IPMS contests, never placed.

Thanks Toni means a lot!! 👍🏻 hope you enjoyed watching?

Ah nice thanks Jurgen! Means a lot and nice!! I thought this was my best option and laborious is an understatement 😂 my neck after was throbbing! And thanks again! My next upload is abit different to a tank…and that’s all I’m saying! Haha
