If your interested in getting your own Minerva the link to CSM store is in the video description, the same with VMS !
Cheers.. Nice looking kit.. 👍👍
"The instructions are something other manufactures can take note of." LOOKING AT YOU DRAGON!!!
Hi James, this is the first time I've ever seen a Copper State kit and they do look to be top quality, as are your building and painting abilities, a truly lovely model. Thanks for sharing this with us, I'm now off to watch your other 1st World War Copper State builds as I appear to have become a bit hooked on them.
Thanks again, my regards...
leather seat textures is ace, as is whole model build paint job!
Thanks 'o Magnificent Mackrel ! Im thinking about a leather tutorial for a quick video
WOW! Proud Arizonian here.
Amazing build. Love the leather effect and all of the work with metallics. This looks like a fantastic kit.
Many thanks Bruce, its a awesome vehicle and the kit was spot on
You make boring paint schemes look amazing, and I love the paint effects on the details. Great video.
Thanks Sera !
I'm from Belgium. I know of the Belgian car brand Minerva, but I had never seen a war version. Thanks.
Half an hour or so of pure joy. Many thanks :-)
Very kind thankyou Richard !
I am in the process of building a Minerva, and please accept my thanks for this informative, educational and well done video.
Great build on this wonderful model...Thumbs up!
Absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic work !!!
Your attention to detail is remarkable.
Thanks Kevin!
A real stunner. The finish is spot on. Lovely work all round
This Minerva looks great and this patina rendering on the leather is truly stunning. Another magnificent model offered to us there, James .... I'm learning!
Thanks Didier , the leather is getting a load of comments which is really cool, I might do a more in depth leather tutorial soon
Finally !! Some one who realizes a pure Black (pin) wash is NOT the way to go. I'm a big fan now!! Thank You and I hope other modelers hear you and take heed. I love the adding of dark blue. It tells me you are astute at color mixing which is something I am well familiar with in my day job. Kudos you smart man. Cheers
Many thanks ! I work with paint regularly and have dabbled in art painting (badly) but enjoy the theory aspect.
You see black a lot and its just too dark and lifeless when there are so many other options ! Cheers again
Regards from Argentina!
Thanks Federico 😊
I love these WW1 builds. Thank you for the information on the brushes.
You're welcome Wade 😊
Great job, James!
Cheers Harry :)
Awesome job James!
Many thanks Raphael
Fabulous! Very instructive, thanks for sharing it. And the kit and subject are delightful.
Amazing build, I will definitely will be using your leather effect technique in future.
You make me want to both practice my modeling more and quit at the same time lol. Another stunning build my friend !
Thank GD ! Never quit !
This is the nicest looking build I have seen for this kit. Thanks for the informative videos.
Many thanks !
Bodywork, the cab floor, & that leather seat are superb. Reminds me of the problems I had with a LCM(3) (RN) - rust, oil, tide marks & puke.
Yum yum!
Thanks mate !
Outstanding work !
Thanks Paul!
Thanks a big to RUclips recommendations!! And you are quite an artist!!
Im glad to hear the recommendations are working 💪 many thanks !
I'll chime in and complement you on that leather finish. Fantastic.
The art of modelling has advanced considerably since I started years ago.
Thanks Paul much appreciated!
Mate I'm so looking forward to this video! You've been teasing us in FB and Reddit, it looks great
I hope you enjoy it man !
Wow! Amazing build!
This looks really fantastic. The leather seat painting and weathering is state of the art. Keep going....
Thanks Loken
Stunning work!
No words but totally amazing
what a splendid piece of art ... thanks
Many thanks Peeters
Another Stella build! Always learn something new in these vids....can’t wait for the next one!
Thankyou Andy ! Ill try and speed up the workflow ;)
Fantastic build and video. I just love what you did with the leather seat! My new go-to technique for leather. It looks so good.
Thanks Tinhead ! The seat has had a lot of love, thinking about doing a more focused leather tutorial
Great job. I'm loving the WWI builds. I'm fascinated by the raw nature of the machines they used and how fast technology progressed in just 30 years from the beginning of WWI through the end of WWII.
That is simply outstanding.
Great vid. That instruction book is a work of art itself. What fantastic renders.
Thanks Billy! They are up there with the best for instructions
By the way excellent build! Especially liked the way you painting the seat cushion i am going to try that method.
Fantastic kit by the look of it and your work did it justice ! Great stuff.
Thanks Brian !
It's always interesting looking at these armored cars from World War I and seeing how far we've came
Clancy thays very true, seeing how everything started is really cool
Brilliant work, a true masterpiece build..!
Thanks Niclas !
*Such a beauty, realism is amazing, 👏👏👏👏👏!*
Thanks mate !
Absolutely nailed this one mate, just the little details stand out like the bike and the cups , superb build. Keep em coming👍😉😁
Thanks Dave ! I will do mate ! Got ideas already for the next one
Awesome build, the leather effect on the seats look amazing. Thanks for that I have to try it....
Thanks Tony !
Another masterclass James. Thank you
Thanks Les !
I love armoured cars/their looks. This is an absolutely inspiring video. Looking forward now to getting around to build my CSM Romfell. I appreciate You are giving the information which products and tools You use. Please keep those Full-Build Videos comming. Thank You !
Absolute good job mate well done
Thanks Billy
Sehr schönes Model. Saubere Arbeit! 👍👍👍
Vielen Dank OpaS, Danke für mein video gesehen!
( I hope that reads ok with my basic German)
I keep hearing good sable brushes are the best. I believe that, because my go to, cheap sables are better than the synthetics, but I pucker a bit just picking up the good ones in the store because just one costs more than the five piece set of cheap sables I tend to buy.
I like the lead wire, but I found the individual strands from the core of 250 cord is excellent for 1/35 tie down rope, and thread for hemp rope/twine, because the thread has the little “hairs” throughout the length just like hemp line and you can get it in whatever color you need so you don’t have to paint it and risk loosing the “texture”.
Great build. I learned a thing or two. Thanks for sharing your work. 👍👍
REALLY, REALLY GREAT BUILD, James! Your painting techniques paid off handsomely as exemplified by the wheels and tires..
Thanks Lawrence !
Fantastic build!
Watching a video of this kind of superb skills can have different effects.
If you've never built a model in your life, you think "AH! So this is how it's done, this is what I'm going to do too, and it will come out soooo good..."
If you dabble in kit building yourself and you see this, you may think "NO WAY - I can't ever ever reach this level, so goodbye model kits, I'll take up the mandolin or learn French or subscribe to a yoga course or..."
Or, maybe, you watch it a couple of times and think "ah, maybe if I give this a try, it'll improve things."
That is the path I have chosen. Let's see how that works!
Thanks a lot for not only showing how you do this, but also telling what exactly it is we see happening, and why you do things this way. I still think I couldn't reach this level if my life depended on it, but it helps me getting better!
Thats a great attitude ! I only got to my level with lots of practice and trying new things, it's very achievable if you take your time to learn the methods, and how the paint interacts with itself and subsequent layers.
Good luck man !
Amazing work.
Your skills are extra-ordinary and a delight to the observer...I use them to wind down and remember when I was a boy making models with my Father.
Superb ! It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks panzer meister!
That is totally brilliant what a lovely finish 👏
Many thanks David!
Oooooooofffffff.....that’s a stunner of a build James! That seat 👌.....and the ammo shader work really does make a difference....
Thanks Steve, I was dubious about the ammo shaded but it worked nicely, took a bit of practice to lay it down right, it favours extremely light coats.
Outstanding.
Outstanding job, James.....love the way you describe every bit of the build in such simple terms easily understood by all levels of modelling skill. I'm always eager to see the notification from you and know that I'm in for a treat....and never disappointed!
Thanks Robbo, I always enjoy reading your comments ! Thanks again for the support
Waauw, another reason to be proud to be a belgian... Amazing build! You are a real master. Watching your builds give me a boost to keep on modeling and try 'advanced' techniques. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Matsi1944 ! You guys were ahead of the curve when this one fielded early in the war, thankyou for watching !
Top notch work.... what an attention to detail. Kit is nice too & deserves this amount of work & attention... Music gives a excellent and enjoyable background experience. photography is just excellent...
Cups look fantastic buddy! Love it
Lovely model, nice job.from JDS in the copper state, Arizona
Great paint job, this video is amazing. You are on 🔥
Many thanks mate !
Can't wait to try the leather seat technique you explained on my Miniart's panzer IV. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
André best of luck its a great technique, one I might expand into a video soon
@@lpjmodels Thank you! I will keep following your channel. You do a really great work.
Шикарно!!! Выше всяких похвал!!!
Fine job, sir.
Many thanks Terry
This has got me wanting to get cracking on my CSM Lanchester immediately, but I'm trying to finish the other projects that I've been neglecting for the past few months before starting anything new. 😂 I'm glad that there are so many different armored car kits coming out as I never knew there were so many different kinds! Great job on the Minerva, I may pick this one up too!
I know that feeling Jarod, 😅 all too well ! I have a lanchester in the stash but haven't got round to it yet, I'm looking forward to not having to build an interior ( not that they are a bad thing)
Thanks !
awesome work !!!
Absolutely spell binding !!!
Thanks Steve !
Brilliant.. Job... 👌👌
Thanks C J
Great job! Wonderful model and video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Steven , glad you enjoyed it
Lovely work. The kit looks amazing. I would love to see more WWI models.
Cheers Vic, more are on the way for sure
Another informative and stunning build, brilliant stuff 👍👍
Thanks Kitchen Table Modeller !
The leather seat and the teacups were just over the top, amazing paint work there. Overall just outstanding build. I hope my Minerva looks 1/2 that good when I'm done.
Thanks Joe ! I'm sure it will be awesome, despite the sub assemblies the kit builds itself, its very nicely engineered.
Agree, Joe :-)
Beautiful workflow, James, I enjoyed it 😊 👍
Thanks mate !
amazing works !!
You give good advice for biginers. And i love your RUclips channel 👌😀
Thanks Sherman 1944 I'm really pleased you find it helpful
Great job! Top notch modeling!
Thanks Bryan !
Imagine how much fun it would be to take one of these out for a joyride?
You'd get a sore rump, but it would be pretty awesome.
Hi James's amazing build buddy paint job is fantastic a really interesting armoured car. cheers Gary.
Thanks Gary, its a bizzare looking car but I love these quirky ww1 vehicles definately interesting to look at on the shelf
great work
A really good and instructive video. I love your attention to detail and finesse with the weathering. Personally, I am really enjoying the first world war builds but I bet the subjects are pretty rare to find. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
Thanks Ferb, I have a few in the stash and lined up so ww1 is definately coming again soon, just got a few other projects earmarked to build first
Amazing build😯👌. Love the attention to detail, the weathering & the finished piece. Great idea to build & paint as sub assemblies, I bought one of these last month to build in early 2022 & that’s definitely one thing I’ll try and do to (to a lesser quality no doubt😏). Nice that you detailed too all the paints used etc…, really useful! Really liked the look of this when I originally saw the box, something a little quirky, & was so impressed with the design of just the packaging alone. As for the instruction booklet - it’s a book in its own right…😳😁
Thanks again for sharing, real quality piece, love them teacups!!!☺🫖
Thanks mate ! It's a lovely kit, you'll do a great job 😀
If you have a satin black in any of your AMMO paint sets pick it put its a great base for the chipping it's got a reddish tinge to it, it's not black anyway but i added abit of AKs exhaust Silencer or AK Rotbraun both worked great for a German camo black brown colour! Adding more Rotbraun to it is great for the different armour steel colour! It's just a small tip that I really like that I done and hopefully it'll come in useful for you at some point!
Amazing modeler you are sir. I will never reach this level of detail or skill, because honestly I do not have that patience level or attention to the finer points. But it is great to watch somebody that days. Great videos and great work! 👍
Thanks mate, I'm not very patient either, just keep at it practice makes perfect !
Muy buen trabajo. Felicidades 👏
Looks great, an interesting subject!
Thanks mate !
A+++ Super job.
Love your work
Thanks Paul!
A excellent Video!!!! ... and a stunning result ... love it!!!! ... thanks for sharing :-) ... cheers Markus
