Thanks Michael and have a nice weekend.

Thanks Timothy and have a nice day. 👍

Hello Glenn, sorry for the late answer. I use white spirit for thinning only. After every paint step with oils I calculate a large drying time depending on the color thickness I painted on my model before I go on with the next step. I seal the final paint step with a matte acrylic varnish. Maybe a medium is useful to accelerate my output. I will think about it. Thanks Glenn

@@DIORAMUS- Nice one. Many thanks.

Many thanks and I wish you a nice week.👍

Hello Glenn, I use the oil colors from Abteilung 502. They are made especially for scale modelling purposes.

@@DIORAMUS- Thanks, I meant what are the actual colours. Glenn

As you can See in the Video I use the ordinary base colors, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Black and White and additional a Burned Sienna. It is not necessary to buy every single color tone when you can mix them together. For more reference you can watch my other figure painting Videos. You can find them in my figures and busts watchlist.

Thx Paul, you are a really loyal spectator. 😁👍

@@DIORAMUS- going to save my pennies and get this kit. Thank you for the inspiration 🙏

Good luck.

Thanks Paul and have a nice weekend.

Anyway I wish you a nice weekend.

You are right Nigel, but in this case they are unusual thick.

Thank you very much Antony. Great.

Thank you very much and have a nice week.👍

Thanks Ed, that is the scale modelers self selected fate. 😁 Have a nice weekend.

Thank you Frank, you have a fine eye for diorama intentions. Each diorama should present a moment in time, which gives the viewer a contextual framework and allows him to continue the action according to his own imagination. Thanks again for your important comment. Great.

😄👍

Thank yoe Alessio.👍

Thank you so much Alessio.

Yes I know, they sampled parts for the prop from the scrapyard. If you know the details it is funny to see in the movie scenes. Overall the Type 61 Prop is a nice one. I like it.

That is so kind and many thanks for your comment. 👍

@@DIORAMUS- )) Отличная работа

Спасибо большое, теперь я вижу яснее.😀👍

Thank you so much. Great that you like it.

Thank you Michael and I wish you a lot of fun with all of your projects.👍

Now you know one more movie. I wish you a great day Michael.

A few of those props got reused in Yongary and Ultraman. One them was also used to make the Dinosaur tank monster.

Interesting, thanks for info. 👍

Thanks Edo, nice that you like it.👍

Hello Randrei, on the way to the Caucasus and the oil fields there, the German army had to cross the Kalmyk steppe in the summer of 1942. For more info search for "Fall Blau" in the net. Anyway thanks for your question and I hope you find more useful informations. на пути к Кавказу и тамошним нефтяным промыслам немецкой армии пришлось летом 1942 года пересечь калмыцкую степь. Для получения дополнительной информации поищите в сети "Fall Blau". В любом случае, спасибо за ваш вопрос, и я надеюсь, что вы найдете больше полезной информации.

Hello Joao, you can dilute Tamiya acrylics with ordinary tab water but they dry very soon. For a longer drying time you can dilute them with isopropyl alcohol but this choice is expensive. I use Tamiya acrylic colours only as a base coat. If you want to paint only with acrylics a wet pallet is helpful.

Most of the time I use the Tamiya paints as a base coat and not for details. For color transition I use highly diluted oil colors. For me and my way of painting the drying time of every acrylic color is too short if you don't use a wet pallet. For work with a wet pallet the Vallejo colors fit better than the Tamiya ones. The combination of acrylic and oil colors is not very user friendly I know but I have a better control of smooth transitions especially on faces. So my paint style looks more realistic (my opinion). Every time I use oil colors I have to seal my work with an acrylic flat varnish to erase the shiny effect of the oil excess. That is a negative and time consuming aspect of my work. Maybe you can test different acrylic colors with a wet pallet and than you can decide which one suits best for your paint style. If you want to know more about my mix use of oil and acrylic colors, watch my other figure painting videos. That would be nice. If you want more info, you can contact me. Always welcome.

Thanks for your nice comment, Jonathan.👍

Hello my friend, the snow is a cellulose-based powder mixture with a small amount of glitter flakes. Unfortunately, I don't remember the manufacturer, but I think there is also something similar from NOCH. You are welcome anytime If you have any other questions.

Tank You. 😁

Thank you Michael. Very kind. 👍

Thanks William 😁😁👍

Thank you so much. Highly appreciated. 👍

Thanks, highly appreciated. 👍

Thank you so much, nice that you like it.

Thank you very much Derek. You are right it is an R/C kit from Tamiya. It is very beginner friendly to build but it has not the standard in the grade of detailing as standalone model kits. The material thickness on some items is thicker than normal because it must be stronger for R/C use, especially the side skirts. The skirts look unrealistic. The lower hull is a complete metal part. That gives the whole construction a good stability. My friend, who build it, send me this kit to make it look more real because of his lack of painting skills and he purchased some aftermarket items. For example the first two metal road wheels, an antenna kit from ABER, and parts of the eqipment (tarps and the fuel cannister, helmets and the towing cable). The fitting of TAMIYA kits is always outstanding and there should be no problem for an advanced modeller to achieve a satisfying result. Beware of TAMIYA kits from the 60`s or 70´s. They were designed for "playable" use. The detailing is not so good. If you have more questions, contact me. Always welcome.

Too much honor, Ralph but highly appreciated. Many thanks.

Vielen Dank Carsten, nächstes Mal wird es wieder kleiner. Einen schönen Sonntag noch.

1970年代、ドイツの映画館では多くの日本映画が上映されました。ゴジラが中心ですが、他にもSFがたくさんあります。私は子供の頃から大ファンでした。

Thanks Ralph. The Airbrush is an old Triplex Modell. I use 0,2 and 0.3 needles. That makes nö great difference for me. I spray with 1,2 psi. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need more Info.

Vielen Dank Detlev und noch einen schönen Sonntag.

Danke Doc. 😁

Vielen Dank. 👍

Thanks for your nice comment Dana. Great.

Thanks my friend. Sure 1:16 scale is nice and impressive but it takes double the time and material to finish your work than in 1:35 scale.
