I admire your honesty and calm regarding the spill, these things happen - I'd be cursing!
They happen more then you would think I also spilled a bottle of wash during this build luckily not on the model this time. Thanks for watching.
Late to the party, but really enjoying your videos Andy. They have become my guilty lunchtime pleasure particularly when at work. Keep them coming.
I just got this kit today, so excited. New Academy kits are awesome. My favorite kit maker right now.
Marvelous workmanship!
Very Beatifull ! Great Job Andy !
Very interesting kit Andy! Thanks for putting out so many videos lately!!
Verry Nice tank and model good job
great build Andy loved the' rough ' white stripe and numbers they looked really realistic. brilliant weathering as usual
Another great video! Built a few Dragon T-34/85's and now want to give this a try.
Great video Andy that tank would look excellent in a Berlin diorama , Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you Andy.... Made my day!!!
Thank you for watching
Greetings, Andy. Just wanted to say I'm glad I found your channel when I did, but I also wish I had found it sooner. I recently got back into this hobby, and actually started with a T-34/85 of my own, just without the bed spring armor. Still have it sitting on an impromptu shelf, along with other recent additions to my still growing collection (M1A1 Abrams and a T-62A). Haven't gotten to the painting part just yet, but I certainly know a lot more now than I would if I'd just gone in completely blind. Planning to purchase the Vallejo Rust and Chipping set first, since I want my T-34 to look like it's seen some combat.
Impressive work on the model, and I look forward to seeing what you do next.
Thank you. have fun building
realy cool kit great job Andy
Thank you.
Great work Andy!
Thank you.
Very nicely done instructional video. Beautiful build. I really admire all your work. I'm doing the Dragon kit at this moment. I've read that the bed springs were used, in Berlin, mostly to defeat "Molotov cocktails" in street fighting.
To defeat the panzerfaust shaped charge
Hi Andy! another great build!! keep up the AMAZING work!!
Thank you.
I built the Dragon model of the same tank.I assumed the crews may have hand painted the white stripe.So, i used a narrow brush, and painted mine by hand. Nice work.
Great video! I think those white turret stripes were meant so that Americans or other Western Allies didn't shoot at them towards the end of the war when they were closing in on Germany from all sides. I may be wrong though
yes you are right it was id not to get shot by friendlies
I worded that wrong. I meant they only used the stripes really late war, when they were afraid of the other allied nations meeting them from the west might think they were Germans. Not other Russians
Andy's Hobby Headquarters I always wanted to built a 1/35 model but I am worried about space and where to put it when its done I want to build the 1/35 tiger is it bigger than this T34/85 or then same ? as always great video keep it up
Andy's Hobby Headquarters what is the connection piece for your airbrush to the hose called?
very nice build(as usual!😀).
awesome video Andy cnt wait to see more
What a nice coincidence, I started this kit yesterday! Always enjoyable to watch your videos! B.r. Micke
That's great thanks for watching
Oh hey, I like the texture detail on the turret piece... looks more realstic that way
Just subscribed Andy. Brilliant vids! Have leaned great new techniques after a few years away from building. Many thanks and loving the builds.
Great build I really enjoyed this episode.
One of my favorite tanks. Great job
Thank you.
gran trabajo..muy bien rematado.felicidades
Thank you.
Well done 👍
That is a beautiful kit and a beautiful tank! It’s designed for war and killing (which is not really good if you think about it) but - tanks are cool machines!!
Looks nice! Good job from Belgium!
Triorgamer1 - Hello from Belgium too 🇧🇪
Thank you.
wow i have major respect for people that build these, i cant even build a lego set haha. i have terrible patience.
That looks really nice!
it looks like the t 34 that you drove in cod waw and it also looks like the t 34 victory from wit so it looks good from 2 things that it looks like with the nice weathering, good job Andy
Another great work Andy :)
Thank you.
Very nice!
Awesome Andy!!!!
Great video buddy, yet another winner there! 👍👌👏
thank you
Cool tank!
Another great video
Nice Job
Thank you.
Very nice.
The 'strike plate' also created that icon clack clack noise on t34s, still used in movies today, along with "jericho trumpets" used on stukas as the dived. Both sounds are popular for war movies, along with movies with tracked machinery and planes.
nice job
Thank you.
Very good job!
Thank you.
realy nice model and realy nice video! i want to biuld and weathering like you! :)
Thank you.
Hey Andy I have had one of those eclipse airbrushes for a couple of months now. I have had no issues with it
Academy is coming out with some really decent kits at good prices lately.
Hey Andy, the shop is on fire, literaly...
Is it just me or is Academy really stepping up their quality?
Yes they are
agreed
the casting on the turret is over the top that's what ruins the kit
@@SaorAlba1970 i mean.... have you seen Soviet Castings?
@@SaorAlba1970 you can also sand it so its not as heavy...
Great modeling as always......I use your videos as entertainment (and building advice),
during the plague :/
wow mad skills
The later Faust's were made from concrete as well, the bedsprings would also break the concrete if it hit the frame area, it would sometimes cause the faust to redirect it over the turret.
Pastel chalks are great for shading also
отличная работа
I find if I turn an empty bottle of tamiya paint upside down,the glass bottom makes a great place to pour in some CA glue to work with. Nice work btw
Andy mate love your videos. Would you consider building the Tasca Firefly next please. I have it in my stash and would like to see it built by a pro first. Thanks from the UK
Awesome!
like from Russia! Это потрясающе!
great video, i am using like tutorial for my t34 :)
👏👏👏👍🤝КЛАСС ПОЛУЧИЛОСЬ
if you put glue would you still be able to open hatches and things like that on the tank
Noah Lopez common sense much?
Can you build a World War One 1/72 diorama with a British tank and infantry assaulting a German trench, that would be so awesome
Bunny Hop837 that'd be even better in 1:35 scale since he has a british Mark IV female already in 1:35
Awesome job as usual Andy, do you think you could maybe do a tutorial on how to do a camo scheme on a tank if you DONT have an airbrush? Any techniques or advice would be appreciated. THANKS!!!!
its kind of hard without the airbrush check out "quick kits" on youtube he is a great builder and does it with a brush
Great stuff! Question though: do the photo etch parts come with the kit? If not where do I find them? I need a good source for aircraft models that lack landing gear well detail.
Hey mate. when mixing the green paint. Could you explain exactly what you where using? Sorta new to the airbrush, but like your results. Thanks in advance.
You can also write on the tower with a white paint На Берлин
*Your shop is* ehem *"LIT"*
Hey when you send those burrs off those photo etched Parts how do you how do you do it and with what do you do at the diamond files or the metal files of one of the little ones and how do you keep it from bending I had a problem with the photoetch hubcaps for the roden 1914 British armored car and luckily the little burs weren't seen in the hubcaps so I just left them cuz I was messing up the photoetch parts so yeah someone can give me that tip would be greatly appreciated great videos Andy
Great build. I bought some tamiya glue but it did not work
Nice! 👍🏼
Thank you.
hello, please, explain how the tracks are placed, thanks
I just did a airfix t34/85 that was an exact carbon copy of this kit
I wish i lived in America
No you don’t With Trump at the helm🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Very nice build. I read about the bedspring armour many years ago, but only found an actual photo of it earlier this year. I'm not familiar with Academy Models' products. In my opinion the details of the internal suspension seem pretty pointless, apart from being a tutorial on the Christie system. None of it would ever be seen on a finished kit. Does Academy do a lot of this?
Is the bedspring armor something you have to put on the tank in this kit or no?
Its optional.
When did u paint the tracks ?
Do you guys like the late turret design(this one) , the '76 turret, or the flat '57 turret? I cant find the type of t-34 i like, the 76' turrets and late 85' turrets are All over the market. Any tips? Maybe i should just go for the t-34 85
How you paint bandages on the wheels?
Are the markants included in the kit
Nive vid as always.
Thank you.
Hi Andy love the videos. I have a question do you thin Tamiya Clear X-22 and Tamiya Flat Clear XF-86 the same as you thin the standard paints. I use your method for thinning Tamiya paints and it works great.
There is no wood log on tank all Russian tanks must have log you will be sent too Gulag. But seriously I'm glad I found Andy's Hobby HQ on You tube I have quite a few old Tamiya & Academy armor kits.
Korea's Academy model??? oh~~~ good job !! *^^*
Hi Andy! I'm someone who has only build snap fit kits, mostly Bandai and one Revell. I'm getting an itch to delve into more traditional modelmaking as well, though. Are there any kits or certain variety of kits you might recommend to someone like me? I'm more drawn towards WW2 tanks, planes and ships I think. I love the look of motorcycle and car models but they don't attract me as much. Sorry for the long post, hope to hear from you!
BrendenBuildsGunpla hi! Recently I also came into this hobby as well and I had the same burning questions. For your first 5-10 builds, I would consider making some revell 1/48 planes, the new ones can be quite good. If you are in an area that has access to a lot of airfix kits (Minnesota does not), consider grabbing some of their 1/72 kits because they are also very good. I assume you do not have an airbrush, so you should use either humbrol, Vallejo, or testors model master paints. Check out the modeling channel Quick Kits, as he brush paints and his models are great. In terms of tools, just start with a nail file and a hobby knife. Watch Quick Kits video on brush painting scale models for more information on thinning paint. He also has a video on 25 tips for scale modellers that really help. Have a great time! -Ben
BrendenBuildsGunpla oh and I subbed!
Ben Weber yo I saw this just now, thanks so much! Honestly means the world. I have a lot of fun making videos and it definitely feels good when people see them too! Thanks so much for your good advice as well, I'm headed to a shop this weekend to see if I wanna get some military modeling under my belt and I'll certainly take tour advice and info into consideration.
I always thought the bed spring armor was to prevent soldiers from sticking anti tank mines on it. Learned something new haha.
Also, what is that tool above the track you were painting at 22:07 and what was it's purpose?
Alex Reyes As far as I know it's a two - man saw, blade covered.
Yes it's the saw
Panzermeister36 hi panzermeister
Hello :)
Thanks
Is the wheel and tracks workable?
No. It's glued.
@@illusionclassicrock6742 owh okay
That airbrush is the same one I have! P.S I'm 11 years old
here's an idea, a little something new, but for an aircraft could you do monograms he 111, but only do what you want to do. I don't like monogram, but I'd love to see a he 111!
Could you please do a model and show how you would do battle damage. Like a graze hit, or on that model it would have been coold to see the bed springs damaged where they saved the armor. I really like how you weather a tank and would like to see how you would go about adding battle damage.
I will experiment a little and if I can pull it off i will do a video soon ,Thank you for watching
Quick Question!: I'm currently on a hanomag 251/1 model and i use mm panzer dunkelgelb(acrylic) and when i hand brush the model it almost is so watery right out the bottle it requires 2/3 coats is this my fault or a bad bottle? Great video btw and i enjou the two green variations adds depth
Why didn't you weather it before putting on the bedspring armor?
Me personally... I tend to like Solder Photo-Etched Metal to it's self because it is SO MUCH stronger then gluing it!
Cool
Thank you.
do you send the kits out of USA? I'm from mexico, and i would love to get a few kits.
andy nice job also i have a question what has been your hardest build
will you make a vid about the modelcon?
yes a quick one showing all the models
Andy, when you paint a plastic kit do you pull of the tape before or after it drys?
almost immediately the paint dries very fast
Coming down from Canada in a week and want to stock up on value gear do you carry it in your store? Also where did you get your magic sculpt from?
Nice!🌞👏👍🇧🇷🇵🇹
Super :)
what company does make high part count tank model kits?
Czary Mary Dragon or Trumpeter
you should build the academy clear model of the t-34
afv's model is a shit ton nicer
Is it the AFV?? BC I actually don't remember
OK I just checked
You were right
But I knew it was some company that started with an A at the beginning
Just a point for modellers " ageing" their tanks.
The Soviets estimated that the life expectancy for a T34 was 6 months. If the T34 was actively engaged in combat, it could expect to survive for only 14 hours.
By 1944, German tanks weren't faring that much better.
That's why T34s were stripped down to basics.....and why going to town aging them is probably inaccurate.
