Ever since I got to climb on and into a StuG a year ago it has been dear to me, now you made the shape of Jagdpanzer also into one of my favorite shaped panzers.
There was a pleasure to watched some of your videos from the recent years, when you were showing lots of home-made technics to improve the miniatures. It was a great inspiration for all young modellers. Now they might think that you will not make such a great model, as Plasmo did, without 3d printings and special tools. Well, that's life. I just wanted to share my opinion here.
I've been subscribed to you for years now, and you amaze me each and every time you release a video. Your models are incredible, and great editing too. Nice work once again
Thanks David, i dont think i have ever seen a model of yours that has not been modified and this one was no exception. Brilliant. Thank you again from South Africa
Really beautifully done, thanks David. The Zimmerit tool though, I'm not sure, I prefer individual indentations, more like hand made with a spatula, not so straight and some flaking here and there.
As someone who works on TV and movie sets I do a ton of aging and distressing on set pieces. Your model making calls to mind a lot of the techniques used in the industry. One thing you could take from the scenic toolkit is blocking, where you take block of wood or any box shaped scrap, dab it in paint and blot/scrape/drag it across a surface. You can get really natural looking aging this way. We use it a lot on door frames and other areas that would be high-touch high-traffic.
To apply a thin and clean putty like that, first roll the product on the non-stick backing sheet of sticker paper (the kind you use to make labels with a printer). Make it as thin as desired, rolling it between two equally sized sticks then use a blade to cut it to size. And for the final and most important part, roll it up using a baking sheet paper, so it doesn't stick to itself. Once you have the roll, unroll it onto the part you want to alter. Super old trick from the 80's, when we used to make more maquettes.
Fantastic model. You have a good eye for color, it was sometimes wasted potential when you went overscale with chipping and weathering but you seem to solved that problem! So imo a perfect model. Well done.
As always, an INCREDIBLE video. I had to Google it cause I was curious... But the "Zimmerit" texture being applied was a hard paste that was applied to German tanks to keep magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to the armor.
@@METRO2033RUS You are halfway right. In addition to magnetic mines not being used. Zimmerit application stopped due to rumors it could catch fire when the tank was was hit. Later tests showed the zimmerit didn’t catch fire. Application never restarted because application took days and by late 1944 the Germans couldn’t afford to have tanks sitting in the factory.
Sooooo I'm pretty sure you just invented a new way for kit designers to make tracks!! It can have the ease of the rubber tracks (all one piece) and the advantage of resin or plastic tracks (paint and weathering). And all you have to do is use a hair dryer! Brilliant
You are able to make details in 1/72 that, in my opinion, I could never even come close to in 1/35. That came pattern is gorgeous, and the Zimmer even more so...
You know, with your modelling skills and attention to detail you should be 3D modelling and making your own kits for everyone to purchase! Love these vids you release and always watch them more than once as there is usually a trick I can learn to improve my skills. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Wow, what a great job you have done! The result is absolutely fantastic. Now photograph in a very low position and a good area around the tank, it will be look like a real one. Kind regards
Oglądam jak zawsze z zaciekawieniem i jak każde video robi ogromne wrażenie ale porównanie gotowego modelu do zapalniczki rozwaliło mi kopułę, nie potrafiłem sobie uświadomić skali du puki tego nie zobaczyłem
The plaster coating looks so good on the model. It always made me laugh that they spent so much time in real life applying that to all the tanks for the war and it did absolutely nothing to help. It was just an idea a guy had high up in the military and they all ran with it. Didn't improve the tanks armorment at all.
What kind of sorcery is this😉 As always a masterpice. I love your zimmerit tools. Have you try to make one with slitly rounded shape isted of straight. Makes it easier in rounded shapes. Or eaven a tiny zimmerit roller. And again a masterpice
Your models are really amazing, but there is one small really nice detail missing, that would also fit with the tank's weathered look. Shell ricochets and holes would look really amazing, and it's not hard to make shallow holes, using putty, a drill bit, silver and red paint you could drill the small shell holes into the front and maybe ricochets on the sides since that makes sense obviously, and then fill the hole using putty, re drill it until only a thin layer of putty remains and then you could detail the inside of the hole with shrapnel marks and deep scratches, then painting the inside of the hole with silver and lining it with red paint. It would add some lore to the tanks.
Nice to see you left out the muzzle brake because it would only give away position, so crews removed it in the field. Noteworthy tidbit is that they actually improved the recoil mechanism to cope with the removal of the muzzle brake - still a very potent tankdestroyer with a more efficient fighting compartment than both Stug 3 and Hetzer, yet retention of a super low hull silhouette.
Very nice. Love your modelling skills. Dependent of version, either the first or the first and second set of road wheels should be steel as the tank was quite nose heavy.
You're a clever, talented man David👍😊✌️ How do you find 0.2 nozzles/needles and acrylics re dry tip (do you use a flow improver)? I have been using H&S airbrushes for a few years, not dared to go down to a 0.2 nozzle/needle set up yet🤔🤔
David, I always love your videos! Would you ever consider doing a Warhammer vehicle? I see you’ve done some Warhammer models in the past and it would be fascinating to get a primarily historical modeler’s perspective on a famous sci-fi tank!
No, read up on the purpose of the zimmerit, it wouldn't make sense to put it on the underside of the tank. And no, it's not a field modification only, it was applied in the factories too.
I would actually liked to see you make somthing biger like an rfm tiger whit interiour or something or the tamiya 1:32 mosquito as yours big b vids are so good those models would probably be a joy to se and probaly much to learn by
In the start it's just a model , but when you are done , it's a masterpiece 👏
"and lastly, I glue wheel"
this is the commentary I subscribed for
100% 👍
"I cut decals into two pieces." YES - THIS IS THE ACTION I CRAVE!!!!!!!
Beautifully done! Amazing how such a little model can be brought to life.
The zimmerit is amazing! Great job!
Ever since I got to climb on and into a StuG a year ago it has been dear to me, now you made the shape of Jagdpanzer also into one of my favorite shaped panzers.
The tools for the zimmerit is the best I have seen, and the 3d resin pieces are a super detail, it looks spectacular

Damn good job, PLASMO. Your canvas is a piece of plastic and you are a true artist who brings it to life as another commenter mentioned.
Outstanding build when you look at the detail that your putting into a 1/72 scale it's just AMAZING!
You and absolutely brilliant you actually got me into this awesome hobby a year ago when I first watched one of your videos.
Hallo mr. Plasmo. I love watching a modell grow and develope.great job you did. With best regards and sticky greetings your modellmate. Christian
Simply amazing, as usual. I really need a set of those zimmerit tools, also in 1:144, 1:100, 1:48, 1:35, and 1:20.
Thanks David, i dont think i have ever seen a model of yours that has not been modified and this one was no exception. Brilliant. Thank you again from South Africa
Thank you , Plasmo .
🐺
One year ago I was watching your videos, after an year I have my first models done. Very basic stuff but I fuking love modelism
Intro just keeps getting better! 😊
Wonderful; I hope you are going to use these latest models in a diorama, we haven't seen one for a while !
Really beautifully done, thanks David. The Zimmerit tool though, I'm not sure, I prefer individual indentations, more like hand made with a spatula, not so straight and some flaking here and there.

I like how every time a new video comes out he comes up with another tool or technique to improve his modeling skills.
Nice attention to the extra detail.
Fantastic model. You have a good eye for color, it was sometimes wasted potential when you went overscale with chipping and weathering but you seem to solved that problem!
So imo a perfect model. Well done.
Beautiful!!!! I am the lucky owner of this model.
Babe, wake up! new PLASMO video is out!
As always, an INCREDIBLE video.
I had to Google it cause I was curious... But the "Zimmerit" texture being applied was a hard paste that was applied to German tanks to keep magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to the armor.
Yeah, but then they stopped doing that because as it turned out, during the ww2 Germans were the only one's who actually used magnetic mines
@@METRO2033RUS You are halfway right.

@@Elizabeth-0 I remember that too. I've got lazy to write that because my English is not perfect)
Thank you for all of the great hints and tips! Always a joy to watch!
"minor improvements" yeah yeah. 😂 That's what we're here for!
Awesome zimmerit, amazing model!
Awesome result! All the best for You! ;)
This man is incredibly talented.
Also 5th here.
As always wonderful job. Absolutely amazing work

such a wonderful example of 72 scale modelling.

Wow 🤘🏻👍🏻👏🏻Amazing Kit. Cool Zimmerit 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love your Videos 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Greetings from the Bastel 🤘🏻Bude
Ahhhh a new Plasmo video. ❤️
Awesome job, next you’ll have to make a mold to recreate the “waffle” pattern zimmerit on your next model.
You make always amazing models.
Piękny. Super robota.

Hello! great job like everyone else on this channel... I can tell which model of airbrush you use... thanks and congratulations.
Awesome skills, great job 👍

Really nice jagpanzer looks amazing
Pleas F-14 Tomcat 1:48 build thanks nice work
Lovely work yet again :)
Great video. The tank looks fantastic. Great build. Ron
*I love the JgdPz IV and your model is fantastic, only a few improvements are needed to make this beauty, congrats!*
Excellent work, David 👍
where did you get the huge lighter?
This one deserve a diorama, I think
Hello David,
absolutely fantastic work 👍. Is it possible to purchase the STL files for printing?
Greetings Berthold
I I would very much like to see you build and improve the Lindberg 1/48 X-3 Stiletto. An uncommon model to see on RUclips, but interesting in general.
Great job as usual!
Gorgeous work!
Absolutely stunning...you are a master!
stunning work, is there a place to purchase your zimmerit tools? thank you!
that is incredible work!
Great job plazmo
Yeah a blow dryer will turn resin into noodles. Great job plasmo. Eskiddy odo
That looks really effective. Great effects 👍
Another masterpiece.
Hats off!
Sei sempre un MAESTRO………
Again amazing job!!!!!

Question: Why would there be no zimmerit on the belly of the tank?
id guess bc its a field modification so it would be a bit harder to do or wasnt as worried enough about
No, read up on the purpose of the zimmerit, it wouldn't make sense to put it on the underside of the tank.
And no, it's not a field modification only, it was applied in the factories too.
@@_Jester_ I did read up on it - hence, the question...did no ever think magnetic mines COULD be applied to the underside??
Ok plasmo excelente montagem.... Brasil pátria amada....
Great job, as usual!!! Very realistic!
Have you tried citadel contrast / shade paints?
Oh hell yeah
perfekt video food luck David
Nice work
Beautiful. Next time make old rusty Tatra 148 diorama :).
Very beautiful work
Super video a krásný model👌Chtěl bych se prosím zeptat jakou 3D tiskárnu používáte na tisk doplňků a modelujete si doplňky sám?
Plasmo 🙌 cool, is there a chance to make a Кraz 255 from AVD on a scale of 72?
Great video!
Very cool and great detail in such small kits and I love the detail your putting into the build looking great. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
Great build 👌👍
I would actually liked to see you make somthing biger like an rfm tiger whit interiour or something or the tamiya 1:32 mosquito as yours big b vids are so good those models would probably be a joy to se and probaly much to learn by
just checking back with you sir - can you tell me where to purchase these tools? thanks
Pls more German tanks. Just simply amazing when you make them. :-)
Strewth mate, top notch job
