SALVAGED from the SHELF of DOOM - Painting & Weathering with snow - Takom 1/35th M29 Weasel Model.
To say the Weasel and I got off on the wrong foot is the understatement of the year. You may recall my review of the newly released Takom kit last year where it seemed the kit was more pig than Weasel.
After the pain the build inflicted on me I had no desire to complete the model, it was a review and my work was done…so it sat on the shelf of doom. But it was taunting me every day.
So what inspired me to go back to this kit? Well there’s no denying the subject is very cool and horribly underrepresented in our hobby so I guess that is a reasonable reason. But ultimately I had a thought about trying a new technique for an upcoming build but wanted to test it on something prior to committing to it, and this seemed be the perfect test bed.
Join me as I teach you the steps to paint and weather this 35th scale Weasel in a muddy, snow type environment.
Scale modelling, especially armour modelling and tank is the greatest hobby in the World! I'd encourage you to be proud of what you do and share it with the community.

    Im not saying that I alone am responsible for these kits coming back... but I did write to Tamiya three years ago and tell them that I thought with some care and the open sprocket and idler wheels from K59 that they were still better than Dragon's kits. Did you know that historical reference photos show that you could use that extended bumper on the troop carrier version and the roller bumper on the other versions as well? You are absolutely right about American painted vehicles in WW2, they did not chip, they were backed on and it was a very hard paint. Another thing is that American tires did not sag, they were especially made with a rubber different from civilian vehicles so that if they were shot and the air leaked out, they would hold their shape for a good while until the tires could be changed. But there are tons of photos of German vehicles with sagged tires. Very great build and painting video!

This issue came up on Missing Lynx and shortly after I read that I went to the D-Day museum in New Orleans and saw some of those tires.

    After all the issues during the build, you´ve really made a great little model out of that kit with the winter camo and the weathering! To touch on painting winter camo using white inks: Making a saturated and nicely covering coat as seen here might be very tedious, but I have this idea the the lower coverage-properties from those inks might come in really handy for a more "spotty" white-wash were translucency is a key feature. Combining several layers of ink with some hairspray and some rendering with thin white acrylics might give some really interesting results... Anyhow, keep up the work and have a great week 👍

    I had forgotten you started this project. I am glad you found the strength and desire to finish the project. It is a great paint job and has turned out to be a nice little vehicle. It is an iconic vehicle, but is no Tiger, Panther, Sherman, T-34, Etc... and I think that is the big problem. Throw on top construction issues and you have small intrest in the subject. Don't get me wrong, it is a unique vehicle, but there is so much out there right now and more to come, that the market is a bit crowded. I mean, I'm building the Bilbao armored car and I bet most don't know what it is. It is what it is. Anyway, great build. Happy modeling!!

    Im glad you reconsidered this kit. Before I bought two of the Takom kits, I had bought a couple of resin kits of this model made well before this Takom kit made by a well known resin kit and plastic maker from the Emerald Island, and THAT was terribly hard because I had to deal with warped parts as well as fill holes and due to poor resin pouring at the time of production, I had to get rid of excess resin and resculpt parts that then left gaps that had to be filled. It put me off kits by that company forever. With quality control that must have been totally absent it is too much risk. However their radio sets are still better than anything else on the market, and yet I am glad that I bought a supply of those before being turned off permanently. What I noticed before you made this video is that the EXCELLENT French company BLAST has come out with a lot of canvas, new seats and other goodies for the kit, as well as another company and I decided that since they had obviously built the kit in order to make their after market kits is that You must have been a bit too hard on the kit. Therefore I reconsidered and bought the very nice Blast Model after market kits and my Takoms came back off the shelf and into the upcoming builds. So I am glad you made this video to save your Butt! I note that after all your trouble, the build looks great as does the painting. Good work. As for me, no matter the problems, it won't be anything like that resin kit.

      Nah,I wouldn’t say it isn’t a good kit,honestly as with most Takom kits,Like the Hetzer it is actually pretty nice,just I was a bit too ambitous originally when making it,and I just had to leave it,and it has been sitting their haunting me for about 9 months now,maybe time to do something about it as the holidays have began!I really recommend any of their M60s,very solid kits,and great fun,especially with all the ERA.

    15:10 i think baking soda is too reactive and can turn the snow yellow over time, have you tried talcum powder? Love your builds

    • @workbenchhobbies4316
      @workbenchhobbies4316 8 днів тому

      Interesting. Maybe I should have done a little more research. I’ll keep an eye on it. Maybe being suspended in the acrylic paste it won’t yellow? Talc…I actually did consider that. But settled on the baking soda. Thanks for you input 🙏

    We all get hit by the lazy painter bug. And that usually happens after A complicated build. The Weasel looks just perfect with A nice balance of paint, storage and weathering. And thanks for the tip on applying the snow. 🤗

  • @garylawless3608
    @garylawless3608 9 днів тому

    Hi Clayton! The little Weasel looks great. The addition of stowage and a couple of tarps makes a big difference. Also the unique camo, and the very lightly applied winter paint and the weathering, makes the model stand out. I remember your build video of this vehicle, and the frustration associated with it, but you have turned the Weasel into a stunning model in spite of this. Makes me think about revisiting my own ‘Shelf of Doom’ to see what I can revisit. Great job mate, and cheers for now!

    • @garylawless3608
      @garylawless3608 8 днів тому

      @@workbenchhobbies4316 - Hi Clayton. My own ‘Shelf of Doom’ has a couple of projects that reside there. One is a Tiger 1 from Tamiya, and the other is Panzer IV ‘B’, also by Tamiya. I built these when I first started back into modelling a couple of years ago, and while I don’t really have a problem with the build of either of these kits, I made a total mess of both the paint job, and weathering, on both. It was my first experience using the air-brush, and as a consequence, the paint is patchy, and the camo scheme on the Tiger is an absolute mess. The painting of the Panzer IV is not too bad, but I have ruined the look of the model with over-weathering I think. I have wanted to drag them off the shelf many times, to see if they can be resurrected now that I have a little more experience, but there is always another kit that takes priority. I will however give it a go, and I have some ideas that may just get them off the shelf and into the display cabinet. I will let you know the results. Cheers for now mate!

    Amazing result! For the textured pastes I usually just add a few drops of water to the pot every time I open them, it seems to prevent the paints from drying out.
