That 'Glaze' is a game changer - amazing! All my German armour in that sand colour looks so flat but now - the colour comes through! Many thanks - awesome work...
Great job, Shane. Your tutorials/videos are packed with visual details and supported by the excellent information you provide via the commentary. Your work is spot on and a real pleasure to watch. I always look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Congrats again!
thanks mate,it was a lot of fun to work on this project! I'm really happy that everyone is enjoying this video and hope to get some similar projects out in the future!
Excellent as always sir! I'll watch any modelling video you post no matter the subject, nice to see something a bit different too. Thanks as always for sharing
Thanks for this video, it was really eye-pleasing! Tamiya Schwimmwagen is still the best on the market and you really took it to the next level. If only Tamiya would make one in 1/16 scale.
Really awesome work Shane! I think this is your best piece yet. Your weathering and details look spot on and I was very impressed with your woodwork, those oars look real. I really enjoyed this one. KUTGW!!
Thanks Scott! I think this is a format that we will return to a lot in the future! It was my first time using oils for wood effects and will definitely be using more of that technquie in the future
Firstly welcome to the Channel! Thanks for the sub! This was a lot fun to work! Its shame about the decals, but I hope to do another Schwimmwagen with Alpine's lovely driver figure in the future as one wagen is never enough!
@@longlance67 My grandfather from Stuttgart, Germany who is now deceased came into possession of a Schwimmwagen 166 shortly after WWII. He owned it till around 1952. My father told stories of driving the Schwimmwagen in Lake Constance in Southern Germany when he was a young man. I am trying to locate photographs of the Schwimmwagen through my uncle in Germany who is still alive. If I ever receive these photos I'll be sure to post them to you.
Pleasant to watch and excellent result! You have done an amazing job here and showed us your procedure and ideas for a small model like the Schwimmwagen. Keep doing that bud :)
thanks Michi! this was a super fun little project to work on, and I really like the format of working on smaller vehicles almost like a weekend project kind of idea
A beautiful result Shane! I am building this model now, and I really appreciated this tutorial. I will try my best to replicate your results, although my shaky old hands have a lot of trouble with the fine detail painting work. If it ends up half as good I will be happy. Cheers from Australia!
I love your videos because not all modelers put all the steps and skip some like the varnish application. When you varnish at the end in matt, the metal parts like the steering wheel I see that they are shiny or satin, it has stayed that way or you have retouched the metal. Thank you.
Firstly thank you for the lovely comment! Really means a lot that my videos are helping out fellow modelers on their projects! So when it comes to the matt coat, it will knock back the shine a little but I leave them as is, and don't really go back and retouch them. If you really wanted to keep that shine or ensure a metal finish is more vibrant. Then I would recommend using satin varnish instead to keep that sheen intact :) thanks again!
You probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any help you can give me
@Gerald Mathew i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Gerald Mathew DAMN IT REALLY WORKED :O Literally got access to my IG password within ~ 45 minutes of using the site. Had to pay 15$ but definitely worth the price :O Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Once again stellar workmanship with both the model and the video presentation. On a side note...BOUT TIME you did a Volkswagen! (lol) Maybe a Kubelwagen down the road (yes pun intended) Awesome job Shane!
good job and thank you for sharing. i started using black panel line wash to go around the rims builds a neutral zone, my hand shakes to much, and failing site with poor lighting.
awesome thank you! I plenty more of these style of videos in the works, the most current video is much is the same vein focusing on the painting and weathering of a flak 88
thanks mate, its a pretty color to get right but as with a lot of single tone paint schemes they are the most fun to weather as the effects always pop! I haven't tried the new dark yellow, though I intend to pick up the new tones for later builds
Great tutorial! I wanted to ask you, if dont bother, what color did you use for the metal part of the shovel? I've tried Tamiya's metallic grey (XF 56) but it seems a bit light to me. Maybe too bright. Regards and congratulations;)
Hi, Shane. Watching your old vids while waiting for the next Panther instalment! 😊 Just wondering, where do you get your artists white spirit? I'm Ireland based as well so will try get some of the same stuff, if I can. It looks the biz. Cheers, bud 👍🏻
thanks mate! I just got the dark yellow down on the Panther now, so next its the camo to go on! As for artist oils you can get it here from art supply shop, I get mine from Art&Hobby or from Easons and the brand is winsor and newton
From my perspective, chipping should be made only with a dark colour, since these vehicles were often painted over a previous Dulkengrau color.....good vid!
in the real world yes, though in scale if you just paint on the darker color it looks like dark paint rather than a chip, also the lighter paint simulates paint abrasion which often has a lighter quality to the original paint
1. Lay down a base color (a tan or sand color I find works well) 2. Once dry take some brunt umber oil paint and thin it slightly with spirit 3. paint the oil onto the tool 4. clean the brush with spirit and pull the oil paint in a single direction to create your grain detail
I definitely recommend people DO prime now after not using primer I have noticed alot of my builds are going so brittle if handled or moved around, especially my new trumpeter Brem 1 kit waw ! The acrylics had really doing a number on the plastic without primer! So just to make people aware like myself not thinking water bassed acrylics would do anything to the properties of the plastics I was very much mistaken! I'm honestly stumped so shocked at this Brem 1 the meng bergepanther and the new line of hobby bosses ex tristar panzer with vallejo acrylics 3 that are not primer are now brittle just after 5 months on the shelf! The other 15 that are primed from same manufacturers are perfect still as strong as day one! If you have ever built the older mini art kits with the white boxes and just box art in the middle you'll know what kind of way the plastic goes! There older kits at 5 years are so bad now there plastic goes brittle after 5 years try the GAZ trucks seriously I had to scratch build alot of parts that crumbled away into many parts in the hand! I think that's how Tamyia lasted so long with older kits there plastics! Not being the best of detailed kits but there plastic is still like it was made yesterday on a 1970s kit Amazing! Hurts to say as not a fan of them but truth hurts haha! So 2 tips I can leave to fellow builder's from myself is always prime if you want your kits to hold up and avoid any mini art kits that have the white boxes and just box are in middle! There the old ones with bad plastics the new full box art are superb though big changes have been made !
Nice result. One question though, why do you not paint small parts which require different colours before gluing them (e.g. shovel, exhaust, oars...). I have the feeling it would be much easier and less time consuming.
So its really down to personal preference really, painting those things separately and gluing them on after is totally fine and good method to do it. For myself however I have a slight shake in my hands when I am doing fiddly work like that, and have destroyed many a paint job with glue marks in the past, so I opt to paint everything in place to get around this.
@@longlance67 Ah ok, good to know :) I really like it at all, that idea with that branches is really good, I'm going to built this kit to my dio with VK 16.02 Leopard :)
Interesting weathering, but the paint job is messy and quite careless. Painting all those additional elements altogether with the car body, instead of separately (i.e: the shovel and the paddle) and you're not even using any masking tape. And at the end you put some "camouflage rubbish" to mask the painting bugs...
Excellent vid, I'm making the Schwimmwagen now and as a beginner (only 66) I needed a guide to painting and weathering. Thanks
never too late to start! really hope the video helps get you going! If you need any help with the build let me know :)
That 'Glaze' is a game changer - amazing! All my German armour in that sand colour looks so flat but now - the colour comes through! Many thanks - awesome work...
thanks mate! really glad you enjoyed it, the glaze idea came the masterful mind of Rinaldi himself!
Your work makes a simple and inexpensive model subject look great
Thank you very much!

Thanks George for your support
Fantastic video. Good primer for the Tamiya Citroen I'm about to start.
nice! its a kit I need to try one of the days!
@@longlance67 It's a pretty simple kit. Extremely well engineered, basically three major pieces plus the details.
@@paulfrantizek102 that's why I love Tamiya no fuss just great modelling fun, will really have to do a video on the Citreon in the future
Excellent as always sir! I'll watch any modelling video you post no matter the subject, nice to see something a bit different too. Thanks as always for sharing

Hi yes I too wish they would release more in 1/16th a 251 half track would be cool I'm thinking of getting a 1/16 Tiger
A 1/16 Schwimmwagen would be awesome
Very well done. Clear and concise
thank you and glad to be of help!
Really awesome work Shane! I think this is your best piece yet. Your weathering and details look spot on and I was very impressed with your woodwork, those oars look real. I really enjoyed this one. KUTGW!!

It was my first time using oils for wood effects and will definitely be using more of that technquie in the future
Yep, oils are the boss!
Excellent tutorial! I like how you demonstrate each technique and explain how you execute it. A bit long perhaps but very thorough. Thanks!
thank you! it was a lot of fun to create this video and I am so very glad you guys are enjoying it

Excellent work!
Thank you very much! Ya can't imagine the guy trying to paddle against a current would be having a good time lol

It's a Great Job...
thanks mate!
Great work
thank you!
Dunkelgelb is a hard colour to pull off but you did well. Have you tried the newer Tamiya XF 88 Dark Yellow 2?
thanks mate, its a pretty color to get right but as with a lot of single tone paint schemes they are the most fun to weather as the effects always pop!
I haven't tried the new dark yellow, though I intend to pick up the new tones for later builds
Nice video.
Absolutely beautiful model, everyone of these minutes are worth watching, I do have to ask, what do you use for the pine branches?
Hi Shane great video where can I buy some of the foliage you used
Hey Ian, I got mine from Scenic Factory
Hi Shane, nice Schwimmwagen. But From the whole, best is branches ;)
really added that bit extra for me too lol
Great tutorial! I wanted to ask you, if dont bother, what color did you use for the metal part of the shovel? I've tried Tamiya's metallic grey (XF 56) but it seems a bit light to me. Maybe too bright. Regards and congratulations;)
Thanks! I used Vallejo German Camo Black Brown as a base for my metal items. Then I stipple thinned Vallejo Neutral Grey to give it a metallic shine.
@@longlance67 great! thank you very much!

Hello, what have you used to paint the oar? .... great job
I used a base of deck tan than put some brunt umber oil paint on it and blended it white spirit to create the woodgrain
@@longlance67 ok thanks ... an excellent job
@@scalemodeler1083 thanks hope it helps
how did you make / what manufacturer are those spruce branches?
They came from woodland factory if I recall correctly
What do you do to keep the Tamiya paint bottle caps from hardening on so hard you need pliers to remove them?
I just keep the jar lip free of paint as much as possible and that will prevent the caps getting frozen
@@longlance67 I guess I gotta do a better job at it. Thank you, your work is awesome.
its not too tricky once your mindful of it and wipe away any paint on the treads as you go, cheers mate
nice
