I really like the more subtle weathering that you do here Adam. For my taste, I don't think everything needs to look like it's been beat to shit, and then driven through a swamp.
The Panther, being one of my favorite tanks, is one I watch all the buil videos I can. I've seen this one several time and may I say that it is still one of the best I've seen on U-tube.
Thank you very much, I'm not sure I deserve such a compliment. There are things I really dont like on this one, the camo was very rewarding though. Thanks again though.
Love the more realistic/historical style you accomplished here. Well done! Saying that I don't mind a lot of the others going crazy with the rot and rust, but this is my favorite 100%
Thank you for describing your painting process along with demonstrating it. So many painting videos show but don't really describe what they are doing. Very helpful Adam!
PANTHER.......!!!! My all time favourite tank. Very interesting cammo spray technique Adam; will give it a go on next Panther build (Zvezda Ausf. D) Really hooked on the KAIZEN tracks too, thanks to your review back in April.
Nice work Adam, Gods speed with that , right on , inspiring . I know time is hard , bench time is precious . The weathering is subtle , perhaps the hair spray chipping method , and modulation in the tri camo scheme. Your work is spot on!!!! Right on ! So many details , well done Thanks for sharing
Adam thanks a bunch for taking your time to do the video like this, showing all the process and w/ voiceover it's really a treat to watch. warts et al end result is still lovely. kudos.
I just finished the panther ausf d by Tamiya and this vid was very helpful on the camo job I did, it was based off of the late war battle of Kursk camo.
Excellent work. Love the camo and weathering. very well done. I didn't know that Wilder made pigments. I agree with your chipping method as it does give some depth to the scratches on the vehicle.
Well Done Adam!!! I love the Buff tamiya choice, excellent in scale choice, its what you see. I tend to use the buff as well on German Armor. Anyway Adam, thank you for sharing Cheers! Just a note, Archer dry transfers....they take a few times to get use to. But i think they are superior , just a note
Hello Adam, I do hope your well and having a great start to the new year. I’m just about to start one of these and have found this video invaluable. Plenty of side notes on instructions thanks to your experiences with it. Thanks for such a great video of a brilliant build, well done you. Take care, best wishes to you and family. Hope to see more of your videos soon. Ken.
Yip....watched the video again! Need to get a couple of Panthers now, for my Wiking and Nordland! Informative, educational, inspiring and entertaning as always Adam!
Great job Adam! I agree with your "not too much weathering" on a late war tank. I recently did a Jagdtiger and barely did anything other than a wash. Those things were not around long enough to get chipped paint or rust. It is hard to leave them looking like new but for a vehicle that saw action for a month or two at most that's probably they way they looked. Your videos are great.
She's beautiful, Adam. Excellent job with the video too. I appreciate the zoom-ins - no one does it better. By the way, I prefer a less weathered look so don't let other modelers get in your head. Also your technique of air brushing with small, thin strokes is a brilliant insight. I think it recreated an extremely realistic pattern.
Have bin watching this video many times over and over again. You aren´t only good at modeling, but also making videos! Looks really realistic an keep it up. Best regards Erik hansson!
little hint for wooden handles rub 320 Grit over handle in a length motion , leaves tiny sunked lines like wood grain then paint and the wash will sit in the lows just nice ..
Hey, man. I just watched your video. Very impressive. I know you said you were dissatisfied with the clear-coat result but when it comes down to it you took light 'plasticy' styrene and made it look like heavy plate steel. Kudos.
Hi, the wire cutter handles were made from Bakelite (wood chips compressed in resin, a primative plastic) not the "Presstof" laminated compressed fiber/paper/resin. Germans wore hobnailed boots so the paint would be scratched down to bare metal in many points the crew used to mount the Panzer. But the Auf G likely didn't get as many boarding/dismounting cycles before it was issued then destroyed, as you mentioned.
Great work, really liked your step by step walk through, the pace was just right and like many others I really enjoyed the music. Subscribed and soon to be watching more of your videos.
I was experimenting with life colours German tri camo colours i got handed to me from my hobby shop for free because never had any others in stock it was nice surprise! I don't have the German uniform colours yet but mixed abit of olivgrun with a dad of schokoladen rotbraun and it made the nicest green grey I have ever mixed that is spot on for field grey! I have done one figures jacket and its unbelievably convincing and mixed a russian blue out the patriotic war air paints and abit of rotbraun and it's the nicest panzer grey they call it in Tamiya vallejo I know German grey as schwartzgrau but done this for the tank crew mechanics shirts for my bergepanther loving experimenting with these 6 shades of dunkelgelb and a scohkoladen rotbraun! The lighter dunkelgelb shades of yellow the the Gelbbraun and sandgrau are great shades for there blonde hair and eye brows haha! It's my first time I have actually sat down and really tried and been serious on figures I normally don't do them because think I can't! But yes I can I kept telling myself I couldn't and getting worked up when thought about it but absolutely loving doing them just now!away to start the mini art panzer 3 B/D with panzer 4 cupola a d hull with panzer 3 turret and the lovely wooden crates on the back! The tracks are perfect there hollow whare guide horns are and thin guide horns got the stug series 0 coming in tomorrow with the new airfix 1.35 Heter early version! There Academy's product's just a rebox for airfix I had a look in the box on Saturday there really nice! You know it's no airfix kit haha!
Hey Adam panther came up fantastic, theres no right or wrong way of painting/weathering. Everyone has different perspective of what it should look like, colour tones drives you crazy if u think about too much. some things u talked about when u were making the kit sounded familiar to me. Great thing about model making is that once you finish a model that ur reasonably happy with u can grap another one and go through the whole thing again - steep learning curve but still fun. Cheers
Very well done man. you're a real pro. I like how you describe such details. I personally don't use an airbrush or and of the stuff you use I use the Tamiya spray can stuff and brush paint my camo which is sometimes turns out OK.
Cracking build right there, just goes to show that the age of kit isn't necessary to make something beautiful. Love the editing style too, might have employ (poach) some techniques for my channel.
Ever video I watch brings a little more respect from me as to your talents. it's a toss up as to who is better you, or "Panzermeister 36". I think however that you are a bit more of a rivet counter ( which is not a bad thing in my opinion) while he always seems to be genuinely surprised when his models turn out fantastic. At any rate I am humbled by either one of you. Thanks again for the interesting and inspiring videos.
Thanks man, I actually agree very much with your points on Evan and myself. I tend to get caught up on the technical aspects of vehicles and he is very go with the flow. I envy his outlook in a lot of ways. We build models while talking on Skype quite a bit so he tries to help me be less stuck on things, and I explain tool clamps and track types to him. You're too kind though.
im going to build a panther soon too scale 1/35 from tamiya... the aneversirary box with metal gun barrel and such... as i normaly always builded airplanes, .... i am looking forward to it. but im gonna take it slow date time expected to be ready some where next year :)
The paints that the tank crew would be given come in the form of a very thick paste, which the crew would have to thin, before applying it with a spray gun and/or brush. Although there would have been instructions provided regarding the ratio of paint to thinner, it is very likely that those instructions would not be followed very carefully by crews who were near the front lines & having to apply camo to their tank during a brief lull in the fighting. Also, using a brush would produce different results than a spray gun. So, I suspect that the darkness of the camo colours varied a lot from tank to tank. In some cases the greens & red-brown could be very dark, and in some cases the colours could be very light.
Been away from the modelling for awhile and what'ya know Adam builds a nice Pather G! Very nice weathering....a small idea if I may, try weathering powers for the model instead of dot filters, I use a fan brush and use circular motions, to me it's more realistic since they got dirty this way anyhow...but of course just a suggestion. Great You tube channel......
If you were to spray thinned buffed from 12" away before the weathering; it'll tone down the overall "loudness" of the camo! Still another great video.
Adam...at the risk of being obnoxious...allow me... Place decals... Then over coat of dull... Then weather...filters, etc...whatever you like. As you well know, the decals depict something that's painted on like the camo. So it gets filthy with the rest. Enjoyed the vid...
try a product called run n buff. its a silver paste . Apply a tiny bit to your finger tip and rub it in. it does the most realistic rubbed metal. Michael's carries it.
Lovely video as always I had a Panther question, not G but about the D. Were there any Ds with turret smoke launchers present in Normandy? And were spare wheels on the turret or hull common at Kursk or was this not widely recognized until after the battle?
My father was in this Division and was a gunner in this tank. He loved it and said it was the best tank on the eastern front.
I somewhat doubt that 🤔
🐂 💩
I really like the more subtle weathering that you do here Adam. For my taste, I don't think everything needs to look like it's been beat to shit, and then driven through a swamp.

Looks great, working on same tank at moment.
Love the more realistic/historical style you accomplished here. Well done! Saying that I don't mind a lot of the others going crazy with the rot and rust, but this is my favorite 100%
I really appreciate your honesty, very refreshing. Don't stop
that's the thing about learning the more you learn the less you know and then you must learn more... nice build , thank you.
Thank you for describing your painting process along with demonstrating it. So many painting videos show but don't really describe what they are doing. Very helpful Adam!
PANTHER.......!!!!
My all time favourite tank.
Very interesting cammo spray technique Adam; will give it a go on next Panther build (Zvezda Ausf. D)
Really hooked on the KAIZEN tracks too, thanks to your review back in April.
James Morgan my favorite to panthe g is amazing
Watching this video while I work on my 1/35 Panther 😃. It’s really inspiring and relaxing at the same time.
Just revisited this video, this a quality adventure
I airbrushed today and I can't do half this good anymore sir. Not even close.
@@AdamMann3D it's all down to re-familiarising yourself with your method, I had the same hurdle after painting for a few months
Awesome build! 👍🇳🇿
Making one right now ,nice work
Great job, workshop!!!
Nice work Adam, Gods speed with that , right on , inspiring .
I know time is hard , bench time is precious .
The weathering is subtle , perhaps the hair spray chipping method , and modulation in the tri camo scheme.
Your work is spot on!!!!
Right on !
So many details , well done
Thanks for sharing
Adam thanks a bunch for taking your time to do the video like this, showing all the process and w/ voiceover it's really a treat to watch. warts et al end result is still lovely. kudos.
Love your work bench. It has all the right stuff, now I what my work bench will look like,Adam.
Nice tank model !!!
Really like the mix matched wheel colors.
fantastic result on the panther . a very informative video
Nice making and painting 👍 I like Hermann Goring division 👍
Now, that's a beautiful kitten!
Fantastic work Adam! 👍👌👏
I just finished the panther ausf d by Tamiya and this vid was very helpful on the camo job I did, it was based off of the late war battle of Kursk camo.
Nice, always glad when one of my videos is of use.
Pretty good looking Panther!
That's a good looking Panther Adam. Stellar job dude
Really nice finish. I like how the filter and washes enriched the camo.
Absolutely love it! The G variant is my most favourite one of the 3. And i loved how you kept it "factory fresh"
Hardly factory fresh. Looks right on point though, for a normal fielded Panther g, at the time though.
Excellent work. Love the camo and weathering. very well done. I didn't know that Wilder made pigments. I agree with your chipping method as it does give some depth to the scratches on the vehicle.
Camo process didn't bore me one bit, I was fascinated. You've done a great job as usual.
Well Done Adam!!!
I love the Buff tamiya choice, excellent in scale choice, its what you see.
I tend to use the buff as well on German Armor.
Anyway Adam, thank you for sharing
Cheers!
Just a note, Archer dry transfers....they take a few times to get use to. But i think they are superior , just a note
As always Adam, yet another fantastic build and video, thanks for sharing.
Great work ! love the panther G
I love your work, i love the way you present it and i love the music. Everything is great !!! Please do more like this.
Very nice job Adam.

Your Panther came out cool,Adam. Great paint and weathering job, mate. Fantastic.

Thanks very much, it's hard to convince people that just a bit of weathering is ok sometimes.
She's beautiful, Adam. Excellent job with the video too. I appreciate the zoom-ins - no one does it better. By the way, I prefer a less weathered look so don't let other modelers get in your head. Also your technique of air brushing with small, thin strokes is a brilliant insight. I think it recreated an extremely realistic pattern.
nice work mate, really liked the music I have to say ! it was like watching Bladerunner lol
This project turned out great! Love these videos and I appreciate the amount of work you put into making these!
Have bin watching this video many times over and over again. You aren´t only good at modeling, but also making videos! Looks really realistic an keep it up. Best regards Erik hansson!
this is a great insight as to why mine are to dark. I am putting on to much paint, much to fast! Thanks again!
It took me a long time to figure out how to get camo right.
little hint for wooden handles rub 320 Grit over handle in a length motion , leaves tiny sunked lines like wood grain then paint and the wash will sit in the lows just nice ..
I'll try that.
Nicely done Adam
Great looking panther Adam 👍
Good job on the H G Panther G, A D. Great weathering.
Adam as usual very nice work.
wonderful work congrats
Nice work Adam. Very cool result
Hey, man. I just watched your video. Very impressive. I know you said you were dissatisfied with the clear-coat result but when it comes down to it you took light 'plasticy' styrene and made it look like heavy plate steel. Kudos.
Great job!!thanks for posting this video
Very appropriate music-I love New Retro Wave.
Brillint video, and very mush a good inspiration for me and my weatehring techniques.
Your work is very professional, well done :)
Very nice work, i enjoyed the video.
Again, a great work!
It's a beauty Adam
Sehr schöner Panther geworden. Tolles Video. 👏
Well done Adam.
Hi, the wire cutter handles were made from Bakelite (wood chips compressed in resin, a primative plastic) not the "Presstof" laminated compressed fiber/paper/resin.

I mean you know I have an original wire cutter here and made a video on it right?
Great work, really liked your step by step walk through, the pace was just right and like many others I really enjoyed the music. Subscribed and soon to be watching more of your videos.

very cool video buddy I watch all your work thanks for all the tips happy new year
that's a great tutorial. love that camo too!
Thanks Stevie
Looks beautifull Nice video
Great video !! Love it....
i'm ruthless when it comes to compassion
ok?
you said "i'm kind of a brute when it comes to subtlety"
Thanks Adam
very nice Thanks
Great work!
this is a really good video, and has inspired me to get on with it! Good job, both the model and the vid
Great video

Fab paint work :)
Awesome my friend :)
Great video. I'd love to see a video on some of your old collection you talk about....
great vid Adam some nice tips there too subbed
Adam, that’s a great looking Panther. Thanks for the video and thoughtful commentary along the way. When will we see some new content from you?!?!
As soon as I can manage. I had a baby, switched jobs and am still in the middle of moving. But when I can I'll get back to it.
Molto bravo👍
Awesome work! Well done, mate! :)
Thank you Toni.
Unbelievable Adam, looks fantasy. Just saw this channel and I smashed that subscribe button:)
The music has a definite mass effect 2 vibe.
im going to build a panther soon too scale 1/35 from tamiya... the aneversirary box with metal gun barrel and such... as i normaly always builded airplanes, .... i am looking forward to it. but im gonna take it slow date time expected to be ready some where next year :)
I did a post build review on that Tamiya Panther not long ago. It's lovely.
Very cool thank you
I agree about tamiya german green being way to dark, by the time you filter over the top or do a grime wash it almost looks black.
The paints that the tank crew would be given come in the form of a very thick paste, which the crew would have to thin, before applying it with a spray gun and/or brush. Although there would have been instructions provided regarding the ratio of paint to thinner, it is very likely that those instructions would not be followed very carefully by crews who were near the front lines & having to apply camo to their tank during a brief lull in the fighting.

You know I'm planning to do just that. I see Andy Klein do it all the time and he gets great results, so I figure I might as well try that.
try a product called run n buff. its a silver paste . Apply a tiny bit to your finger tip and rub it in. it does the most realistic rubbed metal. Michael's carries it.
Lovely video as always
I had a Panther question, not G but about the D. Were there any Ds with turret smoke launchers present in Normandy? And were spare wheels on the turret or hull common at Kursk or was this not widely recognized until after the battle?
I haven't personally seen one, but that doesn't mean that they weren't there for sure. I'll have a look around. I know As were there.
Adam Mann Thanks
I love the background music to this video. Where can I download it from? Nice Panther btw.
Hello Mr. Mann :) Great work!
