SUPERB model...In my younger days, I was a fanatic builder too, mostly scale 1:72. Keep up the GOOD work!! 😄👍
Hello mr.L!many thanks 4your efforts. I was deliciously Entertained. Nice little gem you have created.great 2cu unleashing your creative powers.i also love your narration.with sticky greetings from Brandenburg/germany.your modellmate.christian
Good one. I appreciate the even-handed approach to the weathering here! Not that I can't appreciate chipping to all heck but keeping things a bit more "real" and mellow but then still getting a bunch of contrast with a very bright dust effect. Smart. I like both stylistic and realistic builds but keeping a pretty authentic amount of weathering and color palette AND getting a lot of visual interest? Good job mate.
This is next up on my bench. Lots of tips!
Yes. Suspension always have the most mold lines for sure
Very inspiring build of the Panzer 1B, James. You really nailed the subtle camouflage of this era Panzer. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦.
*Amazing result, your little armored car on tracks is absolutely fabulous! All the technics and products are mastered, that's a pleasure!*
Thanks Mate 🍻
Now that´s a Panzergrau! It really goes well with that light dust. Well done James!
Thanks mate :)
I like seeing new methods for getting things to look right. Also, I built this one back in 1984, yep I'm old.
This sands effect are incredible! Wow, James You are crashing my mind :) All Panzer I B are excellent, perfect job 🙃🙂😇 Cheers!
awesome job. Inspiring! Thanks for doing this. Love your technique.
Awesome, looks very good. Once again, I must try VMS products. ;) Thank You for the video! ;)
Another great job James👍 Brilliant little trick by using extra thin cement for cleaning up the mold lines on the suspension springs. Cheers bro🤘
Thank Jon ! I like to make clean up as easy as possible. It can be soon tedious on poorly moulded kits though
The early war panzer 1 2 & 3 are my favorite panzer.
I really enjoy the 2 & 3 and yes the 1 is small even in 1/35.
Nice work thanks for sharing.
James , perfectly done . But I’m gonna give you some personal tips that I use ! When post shading , you don’t need to worry about over doing the effect , beacose after all the wheathering steps , it’s going to tone down significantly, but is going to remain visible that way. Also adding some stowage could help to break the monotonous German grey surface , and give to the model some additional interest . As well, adding more whatering in form of dry stuff , increases de perception of the wheater that the tank was fhigting . I absolutely love the streaking affects , and the chipping on the model , they give to the model more life !! Thank you so much for the effort , I hope that my tips are going to help you !
Take care !
thanks Mate, some good tips for sure, I have been adding more stowage, but on this one I decided not to, there might be a more stowagey panzer soon ;)
Well done James another very well built kit!! and a great subject.
Thanks a lot Alan, love the early stuff 👍
Great work James. I really like the painted dust effect on the upper hull.
Fantastic build on that little critter!! Thanks for another great video!!
Superb job, James and a terrifically detailed and tip-filled commentary. Even when you 'weather-up' your tanks they still look pristine and neat.....you do that so well! Your work is always a pleasure to watch......see you on the next one in due course.
Never really noted the size difference before. Top vid as ever. Cheers.
Super well done paint work and weathering.
Thanks Jose, much appreciated 👍
Fine work
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant build
Great looking model, Love the Grey/Brown, I've not done one in those colours yet, but its something that i'm going to have a go at soon.
When it comes to "Dusting" a model, i like to use "Dust"......Well, a light brown tiling Grout anyhoo.
I usually use Gloss varnish where i want the dust to settle, gloss just helps see where it is, wait until the varnish is tacky to touch. Get a big bristle brush and sprinkle the grout over the varnish. I then use my airbrush to blow of the excess, and then use a brush to feather the edges. If you want a more "Crusty" look , just apply another layer over the 1st and so on. It's also good at giving a model "built up dirt in the corners".
This is the last process i use on my models before the final top coat
Hi James! I didn't know that Tacom had issued a Panzer I in 1:35th!...
It seems to be a nice kit. And your rendition looks convincing!
I like the subtle dust effect!
The next one should be even better! 🙂
Looking forward to it!
Thanks Radu ! 🍻 it'll be over the next few videos, I dont want to swamp people with panzer 1s :p
Wow, lovely how it all comes together. Great finish and well explained. Thanks 😉
A very impressive result. The use of chipping medium under the weathering is an interesting technique, but I'm not sure it's worth doing. I tend to just blend enamel dust layers with the appropriate thinner medium to achieve a similar effect. I've also used those AK Sand Deposits but find they dry too light and I end up washing most of them off. Again, I find various mixes of thin enamel can be blended and removed for a similar effect. Thanks for another very engaging video build and your model looks absolutely spot on!
Brilliant. An inspiration to all aspiring modelers. Keep up the good work.
Lovely build James, its fabulous
Much appreciated John
As always amazing work!
Cracking, a simple diorama to give it a grounding and set it off would be a nice finish ?.
At the moment I don't have the time for a diorama base, need to do one soon though 🤔
Hi James, that was a great build result, plus the painting and weathering turned out perfectly, you are 100% correct, I HATE sanding suspension parts, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
Thanks Les ! It's always the suspension that sucks. Tank running gear, leaf spring suspension, anything 😆
Great looking build! Really like the weathering you did on this it suits it very well.
Wonderful build as always, cheers!
cheers mate :)
Amazing as per usual!
I really like the result and the variation in the paintjob :)
Really beautiful build, James 👌
Cracking build mate, well done
Thanks Hamish mate 🍺
Excellent!
Thanks Steve 🍻
Another winner. James, have you ever considered doing a series on the use of some of the different VMS products? I know Chris has them on his channel but an LPJ twist would be pretty awesome.
i like it i built the two 1/16 panzer 1 i haven't finished the b one yet
Nice Noel the 1/16 is a cool kit 😀
Hi James .. Great build .. I like the idea of adding black to the AK Panzer Grey .. I used it and found the blue tint was too strong out of the bottle .. I did the 1/16th kit of this version and I see they haven't fixed the jack block which has no straps.. That's the only thing I added to the kit.. Love the weathering .. Keep the videos coming ! Good job all around sir .
Tha.ks Richard, they definately aren't consistent with their batches because this was almost greeny, which was nice to see, but it was a little to far the other way I think.
Beautifully done
Thank you so much 😀
Great build as usual , love it
cheers mate !
It looks amazing mate, nice work, I'm intrigued by the secret plans for the 1a, can't wait to find out what said plan is! Also, this might actually be the kick up the backside that I need to finally finish that centurion AVRE staring at me accusingly from the bench
Thanks Simon, much appreciated ! You should do it, can't be having any shelf queen's 😁
Awesome build & paint work! I recently postshaded a model for the first time. I have seen Martin Kovac use this method time & again, so I decided to give it a try for myself. I like the results and plan on doing that more often in the future. Overall the model is of great mold quality & detail. Your painting & weathering makes for a very impressive finished product. Still looking for a US distributor of VMS products, I am very eager to try them for my own models. Great work and keep 'em coming! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Jim, Martin does magnificent work, although I try not to copy exactly people's methods, it's tricky with only so many techniques to keep it original.
Michigan toy soldier and hobbyworld USA are both stockists, I found that after a dig on the VMS website.
@@lpjmodels Thanks for your reference to the US distributors of VMS!, much appreciated 👍 I am thankful for people such as yourself and Kovac that take the time to share their techniques and methods for fellow modelers to see and experiment for themselves. It has invigorated and increased my enthusiasm for the hobby. Thank you again for your reply 👍🙂
@@jimaltergott9326 no problem Jim, if I know it I'll gladly pass it on. Happy modelling !
Terrific work as always. I am about to start this kit to go into the bed of the Das Werk Faun. I need advice on how to scuff up the truck bed for the tank without overdoing it.
Excellent video as usual James such a shame about the decals but you got round that issue mate. Looking forward to that Panzer I A build now.👍
Thanks Gaz ! I *could* have masked the scheme I wanted, but I thought it not to be worth the hassle in the end and took the easy road.
Here's a spoiler, the IA looks very similar to this one so far, but with no weathering. Plus it'll focus on just paint.. I'm just waiting on some aftermarket decals because someone in the supply chain permenant markered over a certain marking on a tree.
I thank you very much. There has always been some helpful advice given in each video that you do. Definitely going to pick this kit up!
Glad it was helpful! thanks for sticking around Wade
@@lpjmodels Absolutely!
That looks great 👍
much appreciated!
That thing is awesome looking. I wish I could get the motivation to do some armor like that ( although nowhere near as good looking I'm sure ). I'm more of an aircraft builder myself, but I do love a nice dirty tank.
Thanks James ! Moving to armour from AC can be quite freeing, a lot more scope for technical FX, worth a pop even on a cheap kit
Beautiful build as always. I've got this same Takom box in my stash, and a decal set for Spanish civil war tanks, so I'll probably build my PzI using those. I've been building mainly aircraft models for the past years, so the idea of heavy weathering makes me feel a bit... uneasy? But your videos give me a great guideline on how to progress with things. Thanks for great videos, and hope to see the PzI A video in the near future :)
Thanks Petri, the key is to practice and learn the materials, have you got a test Hull or something to practice on? If not I highly recommend getting a tamiya panzer ii for a few Euro and trying all the techniques on that. It took me a while to master oil blending and earth FX ( well.. I havent quite got that one yet )
Best of luck, the Spanish civil war is under appreciated by us modellers!
@@lpjmodels Thanks for your reply. I think I've thrown all my unsuccesful models away, but I thought that I would buy some cheap kits to act as practice models, just as you suggested. Keep up the good work 👍
Small note: end caps of wire cutters should be dark brown. Search for: ww2 german wire cutters.
good tip thanks
Очень круто!
kave you sold your soul to the humbrol/airfix devil
If I got something I'm gonna try it and use it !
Your building a panzer 1 then you mentioned you built a panzer 1 before this one and it is massive compared to this one ?
There all panzer ones?
I'm working on jagdpanther 1/35

Why didn t you install the shield for the exaust at the end?
