The tutorial works well for Bolt Action AFV tanks too. I prefer using the same colours for mud and dust on my infantry bases to unify the AFV with the rest of the army. Vallejo European Dust and Dark Brown Wash, combined with Burnt and Raw Umber pigments, are effective for the Western European theatre. Dry pigments are great for simulating dust. By mixing pigments with Dark Brown Wash, I can create mud splatters. Adding PVA glue, along with basing sand and static grass (the same mixture I use for my infantry bases), helps me replicate clumps of freshly turned soil or mud.
Oh wow- another killer tutorial! Thx Hank, I've been working on my armor weathering kit by kit- presently doing up a Tamiya M113.
Can't thank ya enough for putting out these easy to follow vids, not only do we get to see the results, but actually how these products work! Outstanding!!
Great video, I'm very new to weathering and your tutorials are the best out there.
Thanks. I appreciate these tutorials for us beginners!
I'm glad to hear it - thank you!
Hi Hank, that was a absolutely fantastic tutorial, I am trying something similar on my Tamiya 10HP British light truck I am building at the moment, and the video will also give me the confidence to go even further in the weathering process, I know a lot of the theory, but am a bit light on the practice, thanks for giving me the confidence to go further, best regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍
Good stuff…working on my very first armor build and THIS is perfect timing and great examples. Thanx…
Wonderful! That's great to hear - happy building!
This was very helpful with a lot of good tips. Thanks for sharing this.
Outstanding! Great video, right to the point. Thank you...
Glad to hear it! Thanks, my friend! 👍
Bro perfect timing I literally just grabbed my first T34/76 on remembrance day. Thanks for the tips
Keep up the awesome work 💪🏻
Ah fantastic! Enjoy, they're fun little kits 👍
Excellent. A true disciple of Panzermeister36...
Great modifics I like how you explain how to put mud on the tank. That was really good
Thanks so much - I appreciate it!
Of course, another great video. Thanks. I've been using a similar process, but with water-based acrylics, for a long time. Just FYI, when I want really distinct 'streaks' I use a fan brush with irregularly spaced bristles.
Thank you! And yes, I love a fan brush! Great call
A great video with all the tips you need,even as someone Who has weathered a decent amount of models (Some better than others) it will definetly help on dusty models Like a desery or Kursk!
Thanks for all the tips!
Fantastic! I'm glad to hear it - thank you!
Amazing! Thanks
Awesome video brother!! This will definitely help me out on my weathering skills!!
Fantastic! Very glad to hear it - thanks for watching!
Love the video this will help me thank you and keep up the good work. No worries Roger I’ve subscribed
Cool weathering. 👍
Thank you!!
Hi Hank
Great work mate!
Great weathering techniques ❤😊
Thanks very much!
Love the helmet on roger
Haha thanks! 🪖🐕
Very nice . . going to try this on my Tamiya Panzer IV.
Awesome - enjoy!!
I've primarily been trying to do this kind of thing with acrylic weathering products, but of course there is very little opportunity for blending with those. I should probably just take the enamel path...
Thank you for this Video. I do DAK armor , this will be helpfull with North Africa colors
Great! I was thinking this might translate well to the desert, too 👍
Hi Hank! Thanks for these tutorials. Quick question that is aircraft weathering related. Should I be spraying matt over the final coat of weathering with pigments and washes? I'm trying to do a heavily weathered Guadalcanal F4F, but the final coat of matt that I'm trying to put over the weathering doesn't seem to want to stick - it keeps pealing off if anything touches it (like masking tape). I'm relatively new to this (this is my fifth model) so I can't tell if the problem is with my application of the finish (maybe I'm putting it on too thick) or if the pignments and washes are keeping it form bonding to the model. The pignment and wash is defiantely coming up with the peeled layer (whish is ammo matt varnish).
That's great, thanks. I always do too much.
It's tough not to, I hear ya!
Nice Hank, thanks. I've not been happy with my weathering efforts so I'll have to try this method
2 questions: did you also use a (black?) pin wash and did you spray on a matte finish as the final step?
Give it a go! It's a simple & fun way to get the job done, in my opinion 😁
Yes to the pin wash (didn't do that on film, but had applied one before these effects), and no to the matte varnish. I find that spraying clear coats over pigments can kind of hamper the authentic dirt effect.
Hope that helps! Happy building 👍
Great informative video I have a question it looks like you gave the t-34 a wash before-hand do you give it overall dark wash over a clear coat or a pin wash? Thanks
Thank you! And great question... prior to this dust weathering, I sprayed the whole kit with a gloss varnish coat & then did a simple pin wash with AMMO by MIG's Enamel Dark Wash. Hope that helps!
@@SpruesNBrewsthanks hank it helps a lot your name is hank right? mines gary
Great work!! This specific T34 was my first Tank kit and I hope it will be the last one as well!!
Can I use white spirit instead of mig enamel thinner?
Good question! With any new product or combination of products, it's always a good idea to do a little test in an inconspicuous area on your model first (I like to use the bottom of the hull). I recommend applying your gloss coat of choice, letting it cure completely, and then testing out the weathering process with white spirit in a small section of your tank. Let that sit for a few hours, and if everything looks good, you should be all set!
No hard set rules here, unfortunately... always good to test, because some products just react poorly with each other! Happy building 👍
How do you access the link?
I can never build my afvs like this with the wheels and tracks removed when I do it goes disastrously wrong
Found it.
When is Roger making a video?
Haha as soon as we can get him up to speed on working the camera 😅
Just say no to clickbait fingers.
This turret looks so awful! It was smooth in reality because it was not cast but it was stamped from one sheet of metal. But the weathering is cool anyway)
Thanks for letting me know you think it looks so awful! 👍
@@SpruesNBrewsSorry but I said you about this stamped turret before you add the texture ..)
Say what? The turret on this t34 were not all smooth. That specific turret went from kinda smooth to pretty ugly depending on the way it was manufactured and if the molds were wearing out. Going up on someone video and writing like that is pathetic, especially since you are wrong.
@@willthorson4543 Again. The turret of this t34 was smooth. It was pressed/stamped from one piece of sheet. It was not casted into ground as other types of turrets. And it was not sitting under ground for ages rusting into ugly mess like you can see in some of the museums. It could have some marks but not this harsh texture. You can look for photos on the Internet yourself. Search word is "формочка"/"formochka".
