    Good work sir on a subject you don't often see 👀.

    I know exactly that feeling it feels like your going backwards with your weathering on a kit! I've put one my kits aside just now having a couple days break from it and just designing more my 3D print design for the Sherman DD canvas I'm doing!

    • @ModelNerd
      @ModelNerd  Год назад

      Oh that sounds cool! I'm surprised there are no mainstream DD kits available to be honest - with some many variants of the Sherman available, it seems like an obvious omission.

    I done the FC Models 1.35 Matilda mk1 3D printed kit it's stunning! Just a kit I've always wanted but the older accurate armour one was pretty rubbish! The detail in The FC Models one is outstanding really upped their game, pricey at £60 but was well worth it! I'm doing the 3D printing myself now for the hobby some money saver! My matilda has lights on both side's of the hull i see your one has the old light prototype bracket there onnthe right!

    • @ModelNerd
      @ModelNerd  Год назад

    Totally understand your comment re having a blank moment or two when using weathering techniques.....two steps forward and several back! Great job on the tank, MN although it did look like it had a case of the measles on this side of the screen :b. Price wise, 65 quid ($125 Aussie) is a bit much for a piece that has definite mould issues IMO.

    I just picked this up at the IPMS show in San Marcos Texas. I am thinking a learning curve on this one. My print was without flaw and I noticed the instructions are different, although there is still one CAD picture with the late bin some what visible and one color plate that shows the later variant. I guess this is something to deal with smaller companies. I remember early resin castings that were quite crude. However, that error on your hull should have been caught. You should have been able to exchange that, but you seem to have recovered well from it. Nice job on your build. The light dust splatter did stand out, but it still looks good. Can't wait to get home an start this project. Just need to find some early war figures for it.

    • @ModelNerd
      @ModelNerd  Год назад +1

      Thanks - it's interesting to hear how your boxing is different. I guess you're right about this being something we must deal with with smaller manufacturers. It's also still way better than the resin 1/76 kits I bought of the SAS jeep and Sherman DD (I forget the company).

      @@ModelNerd Yea, I picked up an old Commanders Series BA-27. A cast resin kit. I bought Mini Art's Gaz AAA truck to use the chassis and will CAD the hull and 3D print a new body. Good thing I got the kit cheap. If you get another resin from whomever, I hope you have better luck.

    Love these more rear and odd ball tanks being made with 3d printers. I got my 1st 3d printed tank myself not long ago. Being a proud Kiwi of course it was the Bob semple tank in 1/72. Making a small diorama for it as well. Next problem is find NZ troops for it. I think some British one will have to do. Happy modeling

    I downloaded a stl file from the internet and printed my own. I will take on board your weathering of the model and apply it to mine. If you have a resin printer, I recommend getting a few files as I bought the A11 for if I recall around a fiver. I have downloaded a few files that are hard to get subjects such as a BARV and Guy AC. These could be subjects for future vids. keep up the excellent work.

  • @allanrichards3752
    @allanrichards3752 Год назад +1

    I think the issue for me is the price and also some of the parts like the tracks look a little ill defined around the edges. The problem with making tracked AFV's is making the tracks. I really like separate link tracks as they certainly look the best and if articulated sort of pose the best. If you can get tracks for this model the rest of this tank could be easily scratch built

    • @ModelNerd
      @ModelNerd  Год назад

      Yeah, tracks are always the problem. I'm actually looking into getting some tracks I could use in order to build a Little Willie, which I think would be a good challenge.

  • @markfergerson2145

    I was introduced to the Tank Museum by The Chieftain in one of his “Will The Chieftain Fit Inside The Tank” videos. This particular vehicle struck me as exemplary of the “floating in air”:quality some interwar tanks have before the current general layout of tanks was settled on.
    This is indeed one of their “you can’t get it anywhere else” specialties. As you say it has some issues, not the least of which (for me) is the low hours building per buck ratio. On the other hand as you also said the detail is very good.
    I wanted to emphasize that buying such models at premium prices helps support the Tank Museum, itself a very worthy cause, and how else is an American like me going to be able to help them out when I’m unable to travel there in person? The Chieftain often mentions the models available through the museum (he builds them himself as well, mostly tanks he has served in though) as a way to help support it. Just something to keep in mind beyond selfish considerations of what we get for our money.

    • @ModelNerd
      @ModelNerd  Год назад

      Yeah, I definitely need some new brushes. Although for some work like pigments, older ones are better to avoid damaging nice new ones.

      @ModelNerd oh of course, it was at the part where you were applying the oils that I first thought of it! 🤣🤣 it's a great subject matter, that of interwar tanks, I think some of the post-war "obscure" tanks are pretty interesting too, for instance, the Caernarvon.
