I have just gotten back into building models and I enjoy your videos. very informative and easy to understand. thank you for the videos. you remind me of my welding teacher many years ago. he would always tell us "if you are satisfied with your work then you will be ok".
Another fine build and tutorial video, Andy. Your technique with the toothbrush, pigments and alcohol works great for mud splashes. I just got the Tamiya M4A3E8 Sherman kit and will employ your weathering shown here. Thank you for the inspiration.
Nice work and video. I especially liked the fact that you stayed with the stock tracks and made them work. I usually use steel rod to keep the tracks articulated, however, with the nashorn I see that htere is no fender to "hide" the rods. have fun and model on!
Hi Andy, first of all thanks for all the fantastic videos I've found them very informative . Could you do some more German cargo trucks. As I'm in the process building a German 3 ton 4x4. Thanks Andy, please keep the videos coming...
hye Andy,nice video!great job!for the sagging, i use "bouchons anti bruit " en francais, these are small pieces of foam rubber used to avoid noise and put in yours ears.you can press them, put in place and then,the foam rubber returns to his initial shape,pressing the track.. (sorry for my poor english,hope you anderstand what i mean!)
I like how you mentioned near the end how some model makers seem to have gone overboard with all the dirt, mud and rust. I've seen great dioramas that suffer from having a vehicle that looks like it just came out of a muddy river but the terrain around it appears totally dry sometimes even set in an urban location. And as far as the sag of the tracks go many modellers go just a bit overboard. Tracks need to be kept at a proper tension to run properly. I spent eight years in self propelled artillery battalions back in the eighties. Now not all vehicles are kept at the same levels of tolerance and vehicles from different nations had different standards as well, but even in combat basic preventive maintenance has to be maintained. In real life most of the vehicles I've seen would have thrown a track if they were kept as loose as some modelers do. That being said this is a hobby that you do for your own pleasure and amusement so if you want to go crazy with sag go for it! Its your model, you forked out the cash for it so do what makes you happy. This also applies to paint camo schemes, most vehicles received very little camo just a few branches and twigs stuck here and there. Most german vehicles wore only the standard factory paint job, with german vehicles it was the early war panzer grey or later the dunkelgelb and from all the photos I've seen most vehicles had little noticeable track sag. Well that's my two cents worth. I enjoy watching your videos and hope you keep putting them out for a long time to come.
...Done very well, just the right amount of balance!. I used to do 1/35 scale modelling, and have been considering restarting (inspired via h&g, though that probable coming off soon, broke game)!.
Another good video thanks :) being new to modelling it was very interesting to see pigments being used. When applying them do you sometimes put the alcohol on first then the pigment it's hard to see in the video. thanks again
Hi Andy! Wow! You sir, have just settled it for me: I been thinking to do some moddeling as I did when in my preteens. Now you showed your airbrush but what kind of compressor do you use?
Hi Andy, great work. I always feel so inspired after watching your videos. One question, when I use oils the stay smear-able, even after a couple of days. How did you get it to stay in place when you brushed the pigment + alcohol over?
Hi Andy, another great video. A couple of questions, 1) any reason you use NATO black instead of XF-1 Flat black? 2) The weathering you were doing with Vellejo Pigments could this be done with scraped soft pastels? Cheers
I love your videos. can you do a build of a Tiger II plz plz plz? I ordered a Tiger II and hopeing that your video can give me a better idea of how I want to do mine.
about the pencil invented well , I'm still their joints and armor plates slightly stained , and the only thing that there is aggravation that the tank is dirty , traveled , fought , and radiator reshotka net , try to work a little pencil , but generally fine, and my question is , will you do a diorama ?
Andy, interesting video good use of the oils for the mud, different, Andy I've just left a new comment on M1 Israeli Sherman with a couple of questions, if you get a chance can you answer, I know you're busy mate. cheers
Just one note - its pronounced Nas-Horn as this is in German not English. which means horned nose or a rhino.... Which make sense as the predecessor of this self propelled gun was called Elefant (i.e. elephant...)
Very nice work, Andy. Not just the modeling, but the presentation as well. I feel like I could do an armor kit now!

Hi Andy, first of all thanks for all the fantastic videos I've found them very informative . Could you do some more German cargo trucks. As I'm in the process building a German 3 ton 4x4. Thanks Andy, please keep the videos coming...
looks great
Nicely done. Surprised you didn't bring out the panel liner...
Balled up aluminum foil between track and sponsons works well holding sag in track while glue drys.
+Tim Berry good idea
you right about the rust facts andy , im a veteran and trust me is hard to see a active vehicle rust out no even on combat .
hye Andy,nice video!great job!for the sagging, i use "bouchons anti bruit " en francais, these are small pieces of foam rubber used to avoid noise and put in yours ears.you can press them, put in place and then,the foam rubber returns to his initial shape,pressing the track..

+DJJAW11 Thank you I hope you get to restart modelling
+Andy's Hobby Headquarters Hi,Andy have you considered modeling a Panzerkampfwagen 2 ausf L ?
Great job Andy! What do you mix your Vallejo pigments with...Water? Alcohol?
nice.one of your best builds imo. can you tell me what glue you used and tip? the brands and where i can get? thanks.
+Mikey Tavarez hi its just siper with super fine tips made by great planes
Круто выглядит
Another good video thanks :) being new to modelling it was very interesting to see pigments being used. When applying them do you sometimes put the alcohol on first then the pigment it's hard to see in the video. thanks again
+Richard B Hi I usually mix the pigment with alcohol Thanks for watching
Awesome job as always Andy. No decals though?
+ really love channel
Thank you
Also great build, And what brand knife do you use? Because I just got the Tamiya Bismarck and I need a good knife
+Andrew Culkowsky i actually use medical scalpel
Can you please build the Tamiya tiger 2 Ardennes front
Hi Andy! Wow! You sir, have just settled it for me: I been thinking to do some moddeling as I did when in my preteens. Now you showed your airbrush but what kind of compressor do you use?
+Henrik Rasmussen I have just a small generic compressor with a 1 gallon tank
Hi Andy, great work. I always feel so inspired after watching your videos. One question, when I use oils the stay smear-able, even after a couple of days. How did you get it to stay in place when you brushed the pigment + alcohol over?

+Adam K HI I like Nato black is not so stark black it has a slight grey green tone that looks good as rubber
I love your videos. can you do a build of a Tiger II plz plz plz? I ordered a Tiger II and hopeing that your video can give me a better idea of how I want to do mine.
about the pencil invented well , I'm still their joints and armor plates slightly stained , and the only thing that there is aggravation that the tank is dirty , traveled , fought , and radiator reshotka net , try to work a little pencil , but generally fine, and my question is , will you do a diorama ?
very nice video! i have a question tho, do you thin your paints when you use the airbrush?
+FsAviX Gaming Yes about 20 % thinner
ok thank you :)
What cool or yellow do you ise
Great, it's really wonderfull, great job.
In the futur (if you want or can) Can you make a tutorial about zimmerit?
+DereX77 i will I have to practice up a little first thanks for watching
Andy's Hobby Headquarters Ok thank you
Why don´t you attach the decals?
Andy, interesting video good use of the oils for the mud, different, Andy I've just left a new comment on M1 Israeli Sherman with a couple of questions, if you get a chance can you answer, I know you're busy mate. cheers
ANDY
I would leave the tank pristine like it just rolled off the Assembly line.... :O)
спасибо...
Can you ship your tank kits to Canada?
+Erik Desormiers SORRY we only ship in USA
I wish you'd have shown the painting of the figures as well?
good build Andy but i think you get more out of spraying and wethering than building
did not now that this was in arizona the back ground looked like some place i went to and it was. i bought my gundam exia from there
Just one note - its pronounced Nas-Horn as this is in German not English. which means horned nose or a rhino.... Which make sense as the predecessor of this self propelled gun was called Elefant (i.e. elephant...)
This was as boring as watching paint dry.
Oh wait...
Great job !!!
