A sublime video showcasing a sublime paint job done the old-fashioned way, using fine brushes for delicate chipping, weathering, corrosion, dampness, and grime of various colors—all applied by brush, with just a touch of very subtle airbrushing.

Subtle details are the most prized; they aren't visible at a glance but reveal themselves when you look closely and focus on every section, panel, and area of ​​the machine. Using brushes for weathering and signs of wear is the best way to achieve a perfect model, far superior to the sponge method for chipping and paint flaking.

I have painted 1/35 scale tanks and other vehicles, and I have always used brushes for those fine, small, subtle details.

If the model is massive, then perhaps small sponges held with tweezers could be used to create wear effects in areas prone to friction, impacts, or knocks—or where the crew enters, such as the hatch—mimicking the natural wear and tear seen on real tanks and vehicles from continuous use. An excellent video, with a pleasant vocal tone and clear, well-enunciated English—something always appreciated, even by fluent speakers.

The English used is clear and international, avoiding highly specific regional dialects or difficult pronunciations.

All in all, an excellent video and a sublime finish on the model.

Congratulations!

Thanks so much for creating this! I haven’t built a model in over 20 years and happened upon a model store today where I purchased this exact one and then happened upon this video, how strange. Thanks for showing your process and techniques, I learned a lot. Your model turned out great! Looking forward to more videos

When you can get it to look like a movie prop your EPIC!

I like the commentary over it. Some modelers skip that addition but i love to hear the process. Thanks!

Excellent first video! I would have thought you'd been doing this for a long time. Model looks great as well. Good job all around.

Hot damn! That looks great especially given that you were trying some things for the first time!
I only just found this kit and was looking for a good video for inspiration… this is the one!

Hard to believe you’re a beginner. Can’t wait for more. Excellent work.

Thank you so much - really enjoyed your video - and really appreciate the humble approach and takeaways - being new to this hobby all your advice is gold and delivered in a great way that doesn’t make your viewers feel like stupid for making the same mistakes - so again thanks - keep it up love the authenticity and honesty

I would have thought from your editing and the work you did with the model while filming you had been doing this a while. Good job, keep it up!

Nice, really nice build mate, and it’s Star Wars. So it’s a win win. Look forward to your next project.

The chipping looks incredible 😮

Wow! This is one of the best model builds I've seen on YouTube and by far the best 2025 so far!! Outstanding work, and your explanations actually made sense and were easy to listen to.

Great video, and congratulation on this incredible job!

Awesome video. I'm just now getting into this hobby. I just started order tools and supplies to start making my own Star Wars dioramas and kits. Can't wait to get started.

Excellent first build and video! Congratulations on a fine work Sir!

13:37 – That was the Force helping you with your weathering!
It’s been known to happen—but it’s rare to see it show up so early for someone newer to the hobby. Nicely done.

I’m a fellow model maker, and this is the second video of yours I’ve watched—definitely subscribing. Thanks for sharing your work, and I hope you’ll keep posting. Seeing skilled modelers like you share their process is really inspiring… makes me want to finally start recording and sharing my own builds soon! 👍🙏
