Having served in Iraq and Afghanistan I cam attest to there being mud. On several occasions there were sandstorms mixed with thunderstorms were it literally rained mud creating a lot of muddy streaking on vehicles and buildings. That’s a really nice weathering job! I greatly enjoy the channel!
Thank you for your service. I was actually surprised by the reference books when I saw how muddy everything looked! Thanks for commenting and watching!
Что сказать? Маэстро, маэстро моделизма. Приятно смотреть, когда человек делает красиво. Смотреть и учится... Спасибо за интересное видео, шикарная работа...
I've only recently discovered your channel, I really like what you are doing! I just subbed I really can't understand how CZcams (Google) decides what ends up in my feed. I watch many model building/painting type videos I can't understand how your channel wasn't recommended to me sooner. The first video of yours that I watched was the scratch build of the bombed out Carentan house, since then I've watched a few of your other videos, they are all quite good so far! Keep up the excellent work.
Thank so much! I also don't understand how CZcams recommends videos but I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing! Thank you so much for watching and for the sub.
Never done a tank model, but in aircraft models, I would paint the dials in the cockpit and put a thick-ish drop of varnish on top to make it look like glass. Worked pretty good!
I have watched your video on the M1A1 tank build a few times. It really looks awesome at the end. I just finished building my tank and have it all primed, going to try you painting techniques to see how it goes. The only difference with mine is I built it like my M1A1 tank that I was on during the Gulf War in 1991. One other question I am having some issues finding some of those paints you used. Any suggestions on where I can find them?
That's awesome! thanks for watching and good luck with your painting. Unfortunately the Wilder line has been discontinued as far as I know. However I have switched over to using oils to create similar effects just with slightly more drying time. So if you have the time to wait that's what I would recommend.
Really, really beautiful work, I really mean that.... BUT THOSE SEAMS! OY VEY! LOL.....at 5:28, there's a good shot of the rear hull plate & rear side hull GAP, which should be SOLID..... That's just to big a no-no for me to ignore comment on..... But only AFTER I praise the work overall.... the scratches, chipping, and mud effects are AMPS-worthy!....good job!....
I base coated the glass in chrome from alclad then coated with fuegan orange shade paint from citadel. Hope that helps, thanks for watching. good luck on your build!
After base coat. Orange filter for desert camo, then oil pin wash and shading. Black brown for the chips. Then acrylic mud paste from ak terrains "muddy ground'. Followed by streaking grime for the stains. After that, white oils for mapping and ak light mud for dust streaks. Hope that helps!

Really inspired to finish the weathering on the two Tamiya M-1s I built.

Great job taking a great kit & build to the next level!
Great brush chipping, your confidence shows. If possible it would be awesome to see the reference photos. Super video once again.
I show them on my Instagram, @mattockmodels I didn't want any copyright issues on CZcams.

That's a great call! I've seen other modelers use UV resin to do things like headlights and stuff for the same kind of effect.
You did an outstanding job! Very nice work.
Looks amazing. i hope i can replicate some of it on my STRV 104.
Really impressive work, thanks for sharing your techniques.
Great work
You deserve many more subs. Very well filmed and narrated video
I really appreciate it! Thank you.
Agreed - this so awesome. Great production and information value. Excellent video
@@johnalecsscalemodeling I'm so glad your enjoying it! Thanks for the support.
Well done!
I was thinking the ole European Dark Forest Tri tones, ....
Beautiful work, my friend👍
Thank you so much!
Incredible work
Super interesting
Really good weathering tutorial, thank you!

I just found your channel. Loved this video. Subscribed and look forward to following.

Great video's so far for the M1 but can't find the video for the stowage.....?

That should be it. If not it's in the playlist titled "finishing up Abrams stowage..."
I add alcohol to water, & it works great as a thinner!
That's a Marine version M1A1 tanks for the second Gulf wars 😮😅 In 1991 they have to borrow the Army version M1A1 😢😮😅
What color are you using for the armored glass? I'm going to be doing my first M1 in a few weeks. I hope it turns out half as good as yours!
I base coated the glass in chrome from alclad then coated with fuegan orange shade paint from citadel. Hope that helps, thanks for watching. good luck on your build!
Try tinfoil rather than silver paint……I get great results
That's a great idea! I'll give it a try 👍
Would it be possible to get a list of the paints, filters and washes you used?
After base coat. Orange filter for desert camo, then oil pin wash and shading. Black brown for the chips. Then acrylic mud paste from ak terrains "muddy ground'. Followed by streaking grime for the stains. After that, white oils for mapping and ak light mud for dust streaks. Hope that helps!
Nice! That must be an American tank with Russian maintenance crew. 😊
HA! Could be.
Did you gloss coat before the weathering or not ty :)
I do a semi-gloss over decals, and then work the weathering in layers without any clear in between.
@@mattockmodels thanks :)

Dragon. I think I show the box on the first video in the series if you’d like to check out more details.
Time over wash, wash of time in a brush.
