Global Scale Modeller

Hey guys !

Just promoting the Group build some of my subscribers and I have embarked on the last few weeks !

Storm22tpt and Fasolly1988 and S.A.M. and a few others are actively building a T-62; Either from Trumpeter or Tamiya or what ever brand they wish to build !

Join us ! Nothing special... you do what ever you want as long as its T-62 Based !

[youtube]CAGhI57_jDw[/youtube]

We are going to stretch it as long as we can !!

Make sure you add T62mod62 Group Build in your Key words so You-tube can collate our videos together eventually ! so others can follow this group build !

later guys ! and Happy Modeling !

Been following this from the start. Can't wait to see the finished articles

great stuff Norm!!

Like the other guys I have been watching this with great interest from the get go

I subscribed to your channel as I always enjoy your videos

Thanks guys !

This is my first venture of that type and probably not the last! I think? We already picked out a possible next subject but ! it might not be for all ? It might be a Canadian AFV of some kind ! Not everybody cup of tea right ?

I will be uploading some pictures (IPhone) quality, Sorry ! I didn't feel like pulling out the Big Canon!! LOL

Storm22tpt and Fasolly1988 are participating in the G.B. Check them out on You-Tube and a few others... We have added Fuel lines to our T-62's and this was a learning experience for all !

As for me... I am late in the game and trying to add an After-market set "after" the kit is built
isn't always the best way of doing things ! I am known for stunts like that... LOL

I am talking about the Legend productions Fuel tanks upgrade set "LF1253" and although this small kit is quite complete ! it is not for the "Not" so patient types !!!

All metal pipes cutting and bending must be accomplished by eye + hand coordination !!! LOL
so all in all !!! You could very well do it on your own... With what's at hand and get a very similar if not better result ??? I probably won't be buying this set again !

Here are a few pictures I toke while working on the Fuel lines ! the Brass wire is Legend Productions but the "Blue" is PVC wire insulation, I used for the Line connectors. Versus the Resin ones given by Legend Productions.

This first shot shows the original fuel line set up but I found it is wrong !


This second shot is after I modified that same fuel line a little... to reflect what I saw on the Web.... It's not exact!!! But at least the line goes into the engine bay!



I might do a small video on how I did that... to let peoples know its not that hard after all !

and oh! The Tow cables supplied in the kit are too small in diameter! but that's nitpicking... LOL


Later guys !

Keep posted !

Great work Norm, look forward to seeing more.

great work my friend... fantastic detail there... love those close ups

This picture was very helpful during my work on the fuel lines. I've done it very similar. Yours looks very estetical, my fuel lines looks like a happy monkey creation Go go Norm!

Thanks guys for the support !
in this business it is "Key" ! support is everything to keep the work happening !

Ok... I have tried something for the first time Ever !!! last night !
I gave the Tank an UNDER COAT !

This Rusty color will be my foundation to which I will base all my scratches and chipping effect on !

You won't see much of it though... as it will be covered in paint and more paint !!! LOL

Its just there to offer a variety of tones and color variations in the Rust and chips that will ensue !

It is my very first time ! so be gentle ! LOL



I will be protecting this RUST JOB with Future Floor Wax Tonight and let it dry for a few days... till it hardens ! Then I will give some areas a coat of Russian Green to give it a Back ground provenance and then some chipping will happen and later another layer of paint.... probably Afghan National Army colors ! and take it from there...

I will work on the wheels and tracks while I wait for that to Cure !

Take care all !

That undercoat/rust job is a work of art in itself Norm, shame to cover it up....lol

LOL

its all the left over Gunk that was stuck in my Airbrush for the lack of usage !!! LOL


Thanks anyway...

that AK551 set is a must ! very cool effects in deed !


Later man !

I was told by a dickie bird (scouser actually) the other day that the AK paint range is just re-packaged Vallejo! If that's the case then I should have all these colours already....

Gotta agree with lee, it's a shame to cover it up lol

LOL ! its like DUFF beer ! Duff light, Duff pilsners, Duff dark, Duff XXX all comes from the same Beer Vat ! ever watch the Simpsons ? LOL

I know what you mean and its all possible ! ... You won't need any Paints for the next 100 years ... LOL

Very impressive set up you have ...

as for covering This horrible attempt! its my first time ever using Chipping effects and the sort ! so its all practice ! and if I ever want to do a Full Wreck ? I'll have this behind me !

Wish me luck ! LOL

Here you go mate the low down on ak and Vallejo.

http://www.ak-interactive-usa.com/about.html

I knew they had something to do with each other, but no longer by the look of it, both still produced in Spain, I'll put money on them being the same paints, i bet they smell the same, Vallejo paint has a very distinctive smell.

I would like some of the ak range but I think I've got enoug paints for now, the one thing I would like is the modulation sets, but I can that myself by lightening the paint anyway.

just updating the post !

The Future Floor Wax is Drying and hopefully "Hardening" ! The warm and Humid weather is back and it slows things down a bit !

Can't Wait to start experimenting with Chipping and scratching !
but I have to paint the base coat then start from there !



Norm.

I can't wait either mate, looking forward to the next two layers

After the Future Floor Wax was dried I applied a thin coat of Hair Spray rigth from the Rattle Can and Added some Rock Salt To start off my Chipping Effect layer!





Tomorrow I migth be able to Start on the Russian Green and chip away! LOL
Wish me luck! It will be my very first time!


And sorry if I bombarded some of you with 3 or 4 videos in a row! I had the house to myself. Might as well use the quiet time! When it is available.

Fingers crossed

Thanks! So far so good! Scratching and chipping has started!

Results are ok! Doing some more now!

Will share later!

Sorry for the double post!

Remember this is my First ever try at the SALT technique and Hair Spray technique and very first layer of Russian green!

Lots of firsts! LoL

I will clean this up a little (remove the left over rock salt) Then give some Rust streaking and rust Washes and seal it again with Future Floor Wax and go at it again ! With some afghan national Army colors.



Later dudes

That looks good Norm. Can't wait to see the finished article!

Yeah great job norm, it's gonna look great

Only their old paint sets are from Vallejo( modulation effects and Afrika Korps) the most recent one's are made by AK and are apparently paint that you can use with both brush and airbrush without thinning.

SuperDryBeef! How goes the build so far?

Had some troubles with the Paint job!

Not sure if I will keep up with my original idea to Add another layer to this tank?

I am debating using some Russian turret Numbers on this paint job to show provenance!
then cover some of it with either paint or chip it off Then layer it again with Afghan National Army Color

It's getting there! Being my first Wreck! I hope I don't make a fool out of meself?

LOL

Loving the look of it Norm. Go for another layer

Norm.

The kit is really fun to build, was my first trumpeter kit, I liked it so much that I ordered Trumpeter 1/350 Graf Spee.

That's the Tamiya Bismarck in the back, I haven't touched her very much , I'm waiting for PE parts and wooden deck.

not sure if I will go with another Coat!

I'm starting to like this stage ! and I might call it done ??? I have some weathering to do on the wheels and Burn the Other side... and I'll be done !



Keep posted !

Storm22tpt and Fasolly1988 are nearing completion as well...
SuperdryBeef is coming along nicely to !
