- Back to the TAKOM Tiger 1 (late production) and it's time to set the foundations and airbrush the camouflage scheme. I'd debated as to the best way to do this and finally settled on using Blu-tack masks to set the foundations.
This is the second part in the series for for the Tiger. This video will take you through a few corrections from the first video as well as show you how to create the unique scheme of the SS Panzer 102 - Heavy Tank Battalion.
I also put the Ammo by Mig - new range of ATOM paints to the test - so be sure to see how they perform.

Excellent work. The summary of corrections since the end of the last video was a great introduction. I do love this scheme. It is so striking and unique compared to the standard German schemes, and it's also great to see the ATOM Paints being put to work on another project. The chipped zimmerit is looking great. I'm looking forward to seeing your weathering on this Tiger!
Thanks Evan. It’s a full on scheme isn’t it! So different to most other vehicles I’m used to painting. Finding myself second guessing the next steps. Just going to be a matter of diving in and just going for it I think 🐯
Appreciate your support 🙏🍺💪
I love the line " why let good practice get in the way of progress" LOL 🤣, a really great job.
😆😆 That’s pretty much my whole approach to life!
Thanks for joining in 🙏👍🍺
Your explanation of techniques, ideas, obvious enjoyment and love for this hobby, really comes across to us all on this channel
So thank you so much for sharing this with us all
Thank you very much! Thanks for joining in. As long as you keep watching I’ll keep making them 🙌🏼😉🙏👍😎
Really enjoyed this video, Clayton. Again, your instructive voice over is so well done. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for connecting ✌🏼👍😎
Nice work Clayton. It's a bold colour scheme and it takes a bold modeller to take it on. Can't wait to see the weathering and see how it impacts the nature of this particular tri-colour scheme.
Thanks Stew. It’s out there now…so I have to make it work! 😉😎😆🙈 Appreciate your support mate 🙏
I have a Tiger in my stash and intend on painting the same camo. Your video was excellent timing and work. Subscribed.
Glad to hear the video has come at a good time for you. Hopefully I do it justice through the weathering stage!
Appreciate you joining in the conversation 🙏👍
As I have said before, I am glad you trusted in the process. The trust wasn't misplaced. Outstanding result as per your usual level of work standard.
Thanks Lysander. So grateful for your encouragement and support 🙏✌🏼
Good to see you fix some construction oversights at the start.
The actual paint scheme is eye catching and realistic in finish
Thanks Jamie. Just hope I can make sense if it all once the weathering starts 🤞 Appreciate your support mate 🙏
Great video with lots to learn for my own builds - thanks very much Clayton!
Glad to help and thanks for connecting. Appreciate you being part of this community 🙏😎🍺
Excellent work as always! See you in May all going well.
Thanks mate. I’ll be there…so hopefully you will be too?
Thank you for giving the ATOM paints a real workout with our model projects, because besides the main subject (the model of course) I am very interested in your findings regarding the paint's behavior and handling. I find the text panels in your videos quite helpful, most of the time I stop the video to read them.
I am using these paints as well now for the main, resp. important parts of an airbrush paint jobs, and I find they are quite forgiving regarding my beginner's capabilities (I had to get a second airbrush suited for the low pressure tasks, though).
Regarding your use of the Tamiya retarder: "when needs must", there is now a thinner (and cleaner) for the ATOM paint range available on the market. I just have ordered one, and see if there are any noticeable improvements when painting close to the model at low pressure.
Glad to hear you are finding the videos helpful and useful. I do use the dedicated ammo thinner to thin the paints. I just resorted to the Tamiya retarder thinner because I was too lazy to clean my airbrush and the lacquer thinner is just more forgiving in the scenario.
Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts 🙏🍺
I cant get enough of that wonderful Tiger 1 stuff.
Glad you’re enjoying the series. Thanks for joining in 🙏👍😎
Free hand it baby... Freehand that glorious Camo pattern! I use Cotton balls that I form and puddy to the tank or a slight bit of Tamiya tape. The cotton balls you can manipulate and squish together, or spread apart depending on how hard or soft you want your pattern.
Oh! That’s an interesting technique. Haven’t heard of that before. I’d love to see the results you are able to achieve. Appreciate you joining in 🙏🍺
Wow fantastic job mate. This camo pattern is difficult and you did a professional job!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers! Watching it back on the tv this morning and it looks so red! Doesn’t look so bright in real life. Looking forward to getting some oils and weathering on this fella!
Thanks for connecting 🍺🙏
One filter and that camo will pull together . Nice build , im gonna have to get the mid version . Ty . M
Hey Martin. I think you’re right. Even use a pin wash will transform the look of this. Starting to get excited about the weathering 😝🤩🥳
Thanks for joining in. Hope you are enjoying the channel 🙏
Great model build! Well worth the wait. I agree heavily with your last statement. I myself have built many tanks and although I prefer to paint them “pristine clean” (in the sense that I don’t add weathering to my tanks such as the tamiya tiger, pz 4, and the Sherman m4) weathering always fascinates me b/c it is indeed a skill that needs to be planned out. Hopefully with the airbrush I recently ordered, I may decide to tackle the weathering process and also cammo department instead of defaulting to just a single color (like all black for the panzer 4 or all olive drab for the m4)
Great to hear you’ve taken the plunge and got yourself an airbrush! Your modelling will level up! Just try your best realistic with your expectations. Focus on one technique at a time and work on the basics with how it works. Thinning and pressure are your friends now 😝😬😉🤞
Fantastic build Clayton! I really like the results of the camouflage scheme and all you added paint and assembly details. Really nice!😊
Thanks Gary. Appreciate you taking the time to connect 💪🍺🙏
I can clearly remember when I repainted my 1:16 RC Taigen Tiger in exactly this wave camouflage. With such a size it doesn't matter whether you work with an airbrush or a brush, I did everything with a brush, well except for the base coat with an airbrush. The effect then looks completely different.
Hi David. I’d love to see the result you got on yours. Brush Painting will give you a hard edge scheme though, and this had to be soft…hence spraying it was important…at least for me and the result I was after.
Appreciate you taking the time to connect 🙏🍺💪

Good job mate 👍
Nice one Clayton 👏👏👏👍 look forward to seeing the next stage with the weathering. I see your Vespid Tiger featured in the April issue of Model Military International. Congrats 🙌 interestingly I picked up a copy of Panzer German WW2 Designs by Claes Sundin when I picked up the magazine. I would recommend getting a copy. Keep up the great work and content. Cheers mate 👍
Hi Paul. Thank you re the magazine. Always nice to see your model in print.
Haven’t heard of the other book? Will check it out. Thanks for the heads up 🙏🍺👍💪
just saw it on Amazon for $220! ouch! guess I wont be adding that one. to my collection
@@workbenchhobbies4316 what ? That’s crazy it was £9.99 in the UK @ WH Smith’s want to see if I can get you a copy and post it to you ? Let me know 👍
That’s very kind of you! That’s would be great. Can you email me through my website and I’ll arrange for the payment
@@workbenchhobbies4316 Hi Clayton, have sent you an email to your email address. Cheers buddy 👍
Great work Clayton,I for sure need to buy some of those atom paints as your past experiences look so convincing.I was also thinking about getting the Takom tiger set as in Poland it was just for a bit more than the equivelant of £100,but I guess I missed the Opportunity.Amazing result and can’t wait for more!
Hello again. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Pretty happy with the Atom paints, and can highly recommend these Tigers. If you can grab one you should. Appreciate your support 🍺🙏✌🏼
I almost didn't go for since I have so many Tigers already, but 3 1/35 kits at $33usd each was just too good to pass on.
Outstanding value isn’t it?! Makes you wonder how Dragon still manage to sell kits
Yeh,it definetely makes me think of that,as Dragon always have their own issues in their instructions,from my experience it is most of the time messing up left and right sides for parts,and now that I am making Miniarts Croatian T55,I am so Happy that it doesn’t have the Dragon instruction mistakes,as I would just rage quit it probably as there is so much parts in most of the steps,I prefer companies Like RFM,Takom,Miniart and probably Meng much more than Dragon,and Thanks for the thinking point,got my brain thinking for sure!
Miniart love a high parts count don’t they 😆😉
Спасибо за ролик. Буду брать такой тигр🎉
Fantastic! I’m so pleased you enjoyed it 🙏 Thanks for your comments
Будешь клеить командирскую башенку, правильно позиционируй положение перескопов. У Takom ошибка! У всех 3-х Тиграх! Чувак лихо работает кусачками, типа что-то исправляет, а самый большой косяк и не заметил 😂 Будь внимательным.
Sloppy work no doubt. 👍
If your modelling 211 it had the flat turret vent with the six holes.
I’m trying to build the markings from the kit 002… Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any pics of that actual tank. I’d love it if someone had some references.
Hope you are enjoying the channel. Thanks for your comments 🙏🍺
Fantastic mate, like a bulldogs victory!
I’m still waiting for my heart rate to drop 😬🫣
I'm just curious, who are the Bulldogs? A rugby team?
Hey Gary. They are a Rugby League team here in Australia. The Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs. 🐶
@@workbenchhobbies4316 OK thanks!
You now have an NRL team to support 😬
Nice work taking a bold step on this one, I tend to play it too safe. Not sure what weathering you have in store, but my only comment is the red braun looks a little too red and garish, at least by the time it goes through the video and to my monitor. Maybe a wash with some umber oil or the like will tone it down. Keep up the great videos!!
Yeah, it’s pretty bright. It’s the Rotbraun straight from the bottle. I’m just not used to seeing it used over such a broad surface. I’m keeping the faith… it will settle after the weathering goes down…just need to figure out what that’s going to be 🫣😬😳😆🤔😎
@@workbenchhobbies4316 I have used this red brown ATOM paint now twice, and both times I chickend out at the end, putting either dust or a thinned winter cammo over it, to tone it down. It just looked too colorful for a cammo to my eye... but it is certainly a distinct variation of the normal 3 tone camo. Soo looking forward to your next video.
😆 Funny you say you chickened out! I have done that a few times too and headed back to the Tamiya red brown…but lm trusting in the process this time…so 🤞
Isn’t RAL8012 the red primer color applied before the Dunkelgelb? Historically it should have been RAL8017 or SCHOKOBRAUN. Still a nice build. Don’t understand why Takom didn’t include the colors in the paint scheme because it’s just the standard 3 German camo colors. 7028/8017/6003
Hi Edgar. Sorry I was a little unclear in the video. Yes, you are correct…the red oxide was the primer and the first layer, then the Dunkelgelb.
Not sure why there are no colour call outs in these. Assume the deal Ammo had with Takom must have expired 🫣
Thanks for joining in the conversation 🙏🍺
Wheels were band from having camouflage, as they moved the tank could be spotted more easily from a distance.
Oh! Hadn’t heard to before. That’s interesting. I’ll have to investigate further. Did you have any links or articles you could send me?
Appreciate you taking the time to share the info
@@workbenchhobbies4316 Hi. I just got out "Death Ride of the Panzers" by Dennis Oliver (Aussie guy) which I recently purchased and features a whole bunch of coloured plates of late war armour which is based on his extensive research.
Indeed the duckman is correct according to nearly every image presented in this volume. Running gear is a consistent vehicle base colour (Dunkelgelb mainly).
A variation to this is that a mix of colours may be used but the whole single wheel is one colour (one wheel all Rotbraun, next wheel all Dunkelgelb, etc.) in a random combination.
Only a few vehicles have mixed colour camo on the running gear (the Panther on the cover does but it is one of the few) and camo is generally not applied below the track guards/fenders.
Late war you can get away with a lot due to the utter chaos in Germany. Supply chain non existent so it's use what you can get. Dirt and mud included.
The scheme for Tamiya's Finnish Stug gives each wheel a single colour as does their full colour Hetzer painting guide.
Well done duckman5642!
Well that just made painting a bit easier. Cheers Matt 🦘🦘🦘
Great info. I’ll check that book out. Thanks for sharing 🙏🍺
@@MatterusOD Thanks, that's very interesting information. I always wondered why the cammo paint would be applied to the lower hull, as in the field these parts would just be caked in mud. Cleaning these parts of a tank would be very low on any real armies priority list I'd assume ;-)
Interesting the cover of the book shows a Panther with camouflaged wheels 😳 😆😆
This is really a nice color scheme for any tank. Just as everyone has released their Tiger tanks, here comes Takom with their army of Tigers. Should we just wait till everything is released until we make are picks?
Well….they do say ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’… I think if you see one you like you should grab it! Life’s too short to wait on the side lines 👍💪🍺

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Sold out?! Bugger! I was just about to order one myself
Yes, we all don't like these acrylics for air, ok for a primer or one color they are still suitable for such a job, it's too much work, we all like Tamiya, Ak rc, Mr Color for more difficult work, great channel, and great job, Greetings:)
I think you’d be surprised how versatile these new Atom paints are. Agreed lacquers are the hardest wearing and most forgiving to use…but these new acrylics give us a viable alternative without the smell.
Glad you are enjoying the channel. Appreciate you taking the time to connect 🍺🙏
@@workbenchhobbies4316 I'll try, you encouraged me :) If necessary, I'll find some retarder and flow imrprower :) Regards :)
@@evildead8735 I am using these ATOM acrylics now for the airbrush part of painting a model, and use the older yellow cap mostly just for detail brush paint work. Can't use real lacquers due to the smell in my small flat, so I have no first hand comparison, but as Clayton has written in this video, flooding the paint using the ATOMs works fine (and would fail with the older yellow caps.)
@@user-vt6en8fw4z Thanks, it's nice that there is something new, I don't like the smell either, so I'll have to try it :) Clayton's presentation was very interesting.
Some advice though…make sure you use the ammo product to thin it. I had a guy the other day complaining to me about the paint not spraying. Turned out he was trying to use Vallejo flow improver in it. Stay on brand. Once you are comfortable with it then you can try other stuff. That advice stands for every paint type too btw
What liquid u use to stick all wheel and track ?..permanent glue or temporary ?
Hi. I use a Tamiya Extra Thin cement to attach everything. It is a permanent glue however there is a drying window of around 30 minutes that allows me time to wrap the tracks around the wheels and form the shapes. Hope that helps
This is what happens when people do not PRACTICE, before they are going to use this technique on a model....
If you would have practiced, you would have discovered this effect, and thus could have avoided it on the model.
Using masking putty will work fine, as long as you know how to use it.
What actually happened and how do you feel the outcome should have been different?
Position of periscopes at commander coupola are not correct.
Yeah - that is a Takom issue and something I wasnt aware of at the time. But thanks for the input
Great build Clayton :) One question though: Was there any reason why, when feathering the edges, you didn't simply modify the Dunkelgelb part? :D
Great question. I feathered the colours mainly because I felt the yellow bands were too big. If I feathered the yellow it would have made them look even bigger. When I went back over the yellow (only in spots) it was to tidy up overspray rather than trying to feather the edges.
Hope that makes sense 😬🤔😎🙏👍
