How-to videos - chipping and rusting a range target Sherman

Fantastic rusting job, I'll be looking at those videos sometime soon!

A bent barrel on a tank is just....so.....wrong.

It still looks awesome.

Great work on the target!  I had the chance to watch couple of your video clips.  It looks very helpful!  The only drawback being deaf, I have no idea what kind of paint you used.  Maybe you could show us the bottles of paint in the video so anybody who are deaf or doesn't speak English can figure it out what you are doing.  Maybe you can do that in your future clips... I definitely will be watching all of your clips when I have the chance. 

I am guessing that after the base coat in part one, you ligthened it up using same paint and did a quick job then at end you used darker paint for the edges & corners, etc? 

Excellent videos Rob not only helpful to people wanting to learn the art of rusting but also explains and shows perfectly how to apply a pin wash, so many guys just getting into weathering will love this.

Thanks for checking out the videos guys. I am hoping they will be useful to some. I will be sure to show the products I am using on the next videos. Thanks for the feedback, exactly what I needed.

Rob, this is really an outstanding way to bring your forum skills to "the next level". What an asset for modelers, new and experienced alike! I'll certainly be watching your other ones when I get the chance here!

One suggestion--do you have a bid or something? Any chance you could get it out of the room when you're filming? That constant screeching on video is really distracting.  Especially in the first part of the video when you're just speaking int of the camera!

That ain't no bird.......

...........that's his camera squeakin'.

A good idea on those vids and a great job on that Sherman Rob.

Hehehe squeeky camera, I like that, too funny.

Karl thanks buddy. The bird is actually in the next room but is still very loud. I will try and keep her with me in the same room to see if she stays quiet. Atleast the dogs just lay there in the room with me and stay quiet.

I thought I would show people how I do my rust buckets and share some of my techniques. If it helps at least one person I'm happy.

Thanks again guys.

GREAT SERIES! I learned a lot watching those.

Thank you for sharing.

Rob, super vids man.  They will come in very handy very soon.  Got something right up your alley.  I am doing a 1/48 Komatsu G40 bulldozer for out club GB and it will be a couple decades old in some jungle over growth.

Really nice tutorial, Rob, if I may :  )  ...I am going to ask a question that may answer a question for for some...

The welds on a rusty or burnt out vehicle are highlighted in light silver/aluminium tone because the high alloy content is basically un-rustable... yes ?   

I enjoy your work,

An outstanding contribution to the hobby. I would nominate you for an academy award. I need to watch a few more times for your technical details but it is well done....we did not have to pay like we do for MIG or some other name modelers. It was great that we see you....it humanizes the experience.

Impressive.....you have raised the bar on expanding your modeling experience.

Rounds Complete!!

I watched your series last night- and thanks so much for making those videos. The instruction is very clear and it is nice to see how it is actually done versus reading it in a book. My next tank build will now be a rusted hulk!

Having met you in person and sat in your live seminars, I have just 1 compliant.  You sound like you just came from the dentist and your face is numb

I've had a very enjoyable morning at the movies with Rob. Sure don't mind seeing the re-runs again and again.

Thanks fellow

I just found these on youtube and what a great how-to series. I watch 3 of them and learned so much about this advanced weathering.

Thanks, Rob, for posting these. Your website is also so cool with all these rusted up models.

Excellent videos there Rob, learned an awful lot just from a half hour of watching different sections. A big thanks.

Terry.
