KING TIGER MODEL PAINTING - TIMED CHALLENGE - #1

Описание: It’s time to return to ScaleWar Machines after a well-earned break! We resume with the first part of our timed painting challenge. It’s not so much a “How To” video but an experiment using a 1/35th scale Tamiya King Tiger Tank made by my friend Herbie.

He asked me to paint the model and we decided to time how long it would take to finish the paint job. There’ll be plenty of mistakes and rushed painting along the way but it was ultimately fun to try this out. I did the bulk of the painting and showed Herbie various techniques and products. However, he had a go and did a fair amount of the work here and there too.

This series is all about painting and weathering and how to achieve it. It is highly personal and subjective of course but our goal was to loosely match a photo of a King Tiger model - so the paint scheme and markings are fictional.

Painting and weathering is iterative and multi-layered as you will see. Adding some time pressure and modelling against the clock also led to some mixing of acrylic and enamel painting techniques. To speed things up, you too could try alternating between enamels and acrylics. What you see is pretty much real time, with some minor cuts here and there but the time record is 100% accurate and uses the recorded video files’ metadata as a record. In this series we will roughly cover 1hr’s modelling per 10 minutes (approx’) of video. This is the first hour or so…

Any questions, let us know in the comments. Bye for now!

Thanks to Paul “Herbie” Herbert for allowing his model to be part of this experiment.
