- Hello and welcome to a quick tutorial on how to weather tracks using only a few products. For a while I've struggled with finding a simple technique that gives results that I am happy with, and now I think I've figured it out. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I am not paid to promote any specific products or brands; I just use the products I find work best for me through my experiences. There is no reason for me to promote a bad product, as then I would not enjoy using it, not like the result on my model, and not be proud of publicizing it in a video. There's also no point in me doing this to keep up relations with a company if the only benefit would be getting more of the same products that I didn't like. I have not used every product out there, but from what I have used, I keep using the products I like, and that's why I use them in my videos. You can use whatever other products you would like to and you can feel that they are better - that is your opinion, and is perfectly fine by me, thus I hope that feeling is reciprocated. - Zábava
This video puts me in the mood to clean dust from my colors and get back again on to my desk. Thanks!
Awesome! I'm glad to be a little inspirational :)
Your tutorials are some of the most insparational videos. Makes me want to get back into the hobby.
Do it. I did after 45 years of inactivity, and loving it as i did back then.
Top quality and to the Point ! Most excellent video... Will give it a go on my IDF vehicles.... they are entering that phase of the build... so... Thanks for posting this !
Thanks Norm! I'm glad my videos are helpful :)
Though tracks, and wheels are a fundamental part of tanks, they sure are a pain!!! Once again you have made an awesome tutorial for both people who are new, and for community members wanting to improve. The whole video has a professional clean presentation, which makes for easy watching. Great work on these tracks, I find it difficult to decide on how to paint the tracks, I normally focus on rust, however after some experience, aided by videos like this I think a darker black/grey is a more suitable colour.
As always Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Thank you so much! I've been aiming for more professional videos lately so I'm glad it has paid off
This is exactly what I needed Evan :) Im very thankful buddy . Take care .
Thank you! I'm glad you like it
The result is very nice. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you :)
brill video mate, really great . hope your well and the family
Amazing work, buddy....the realism you achieved is mind-blowing...KUTGW
wau, verdammt. toll, einfach toll. ich muss mal loswerden, dass du definitiv zu den besten plastikmodellbauern gehörst ! auch deine videos sind einfach immer wieder super zum anschauen, informativ, einfach toll. 👍👍
Danke dir, Tom Ich habe auch Untertitel zu diesem Video hinzugefügt, die du durch CZcams übersetzen kannst. Funktioniert es? Hilft es dir besser zu verstehen? Natürlich bin ich mir nicht sicher, vielleicht verstehst du auch schon englisch :)
@@Panzermeister36 with "wau" he means wow not "woof" like in the google translator. But he can understand english and just writes german. (at least I think he can understand english)
beautiful tutorial as always!
Thanks :)
Always enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming - Andy
Awesome work my friend keep up the good work 👍
Thank you!
excellent how to Evan. well done mate
Thank you Mark :)
Another great video! Thanks, very instructive.
Amazing job. Thanks so much
really enjoy your videos.
Thank you Clayton!
Great looking effect! I like it!
I use pastel chalks for mud/dust and i'm pretty pleased with the result in general, however i do love to watch videos showing other products and techniques, like yours. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you very much! Do you use real artist's pastels, or the Tamiya ones? I've never really tried either, but I want to try them some day.
Evan, once again great technique and presentation! I too, like Rolling Thunder, use pastel chalks. My budget doesn't really allow me to buy many of the pre-packaged pigments so I bought several artists chalks with various colors (one box of 10-15 chalks costs the same as one bottle of pigment) and ground them in a old coffee bean grinder. You can create quite a variety of colors by mixing the chalks. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you! I'll have to look more into pastels sometime for sure :)
I juse some cheap artist ones haha :)
I really like your tutorials, more like I would want my tanks to look. Subbed!
Thank you!
very good demo meister :)
Thank you Michael :D
Well done my friend! Thanks for taking the time making this tut.
very useful tut! thank you! :)
Thank you!
great video
Modelers World makes excellent weathering products, particularly their Dirty Dust wash. It works great even from an airbrush
Great tutorial mate! 👍👌👏
Thank you!
Panzermeister36
Love the Marder, as much as your other tank that you did, what was it again....Panzer III, it really makes me want to try to do a winter camouflage/white wash tank!
Keep making these awesome tutorials! 👍👌👏
Yeah I have been doing tons of whitewashed tanks lately, because it looks so cool!
Panzermeister36
Totally agree!
Definitely gonna try....a StuG III or a Panzer IV....
Another great "dust and mud" tutorial!
Thank you Alan!
No sir. Thank you. I like what you're trying to do. Streamline the process into steps. That's exactly what someone like me needs. A list of steps to follow.
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I've got another video just like this but on doing the rusty spare tracks on this build, and I hope to have that one up next weekend.
Panzermeister36 that's great! I can't wait!
you need to be careful with enamel products on those kind of tracks because the thinners the paint is made from will eat away at weak joints, but i think you use just about the right amount.,
one thing i do is i do not put pigment where the road wheel is in contact with the track i tend to keep that a bit cleaner
Though you not a fan of somewhat shiny metal showing on the track, but unless it just ran through mud the track cleat would still show. Just view some the photos of the Ardenne panzers or the Russian you will see that there is metal showing. But, all in all good work
Cool video. It's weird cos a month or two ago, I discovered the very same thing, only I use NATO black and flat earth, but basically the same colours. I have literally just finished the mud effects on my Bergepanther and it is quite muddy! I have a few things to finish off and I will post some pics on Google+.
Oh cool! I'll have a look when you post them :)
Very Nice 👍
Super Cool.
Thank you!
The weathering on the whole model looks excellent but i think the tracks could be improved if you used a product on the high points of the tracks to replicate steel. Even tracks that are caked in mud and dirt still have high point areas that reveal worn steel.
Thank you. As I mentioned in the video, I'm not too much of a fan or metallic highlights like that, so I just left the grey colour colour show through there. I may go back eventually with a 4B pencil and make them look a little more metallic.
the same on the hull near the tracks?
What should I use if I don't have any of these?
Dope.
I dont have a airbrush. Can you maby make a video painting a tank with non airbrush plz....
I still love your vids
Hi.
For plastic tracks, do you paint them before or after you put them on the tank ? If you paint them beforehand, wouldn't they stiffen and be very difficult to fit around the wheels?
Thanks for your reply
No, the airbrushed paint layer is extremely thin so it won't stiffen the tracks. I always paint the tracks before putting them on the model.
@@Panzermeister36 thanks for your prompt reply
I like this, but what about bare metal? Do you put metallic pigment on the cleats?
Sometimes I'll drybrush them with a metallic paint but I try to keep it minimal since the shine doesn't scale well and can be distracting.
@@Panzermeister36 Thanks mate. Keep up the good work. I've learned quite a bit from your channel. Maybe one day if the world opens up I will attend one of your tutorials.
Can you give the name/link for the pigments you use not only in this video but that you use in general and recommend?
I use pigments by Wilder usually. www.wilder.su/
@@Panzermeister36 Thank you very much!!
Do I need to spray a topcoat over the applied pigments? Or will it ruin all the work?
I don't spray a varnish on them usually. It has the effect of toning down the pigments or bowl them away. Most the of the enamel effects will hold the pigments on from my experiences too.
@@Panzermeister36 thank you very much!
quick question where do you purchase your wilder products, having trouble finding them ??
Wilder's website has a list of places that sell them. Where do you live?
hi, I live in Connecticut, u.s.a.
I hear that people get them from Mega Hobby USA? Something along those lines...
Where do u get wilder products? I have never seen it.
They are basically impossible to get now, as Adam Wilder sold the company off a few years ago and the factory that makes the products is located in Russia.
@@Panzermeister36 Thanks. Good to know.
Can you do some tutorials on Israelli armour
I plan on doing one of the Takom Merkavas when they come out soon!
Panzermeister36 yeah i am not buying any more untill i am confident enough to weather as good as you.
