"HOW TO" PAINT & WEATHER TANKS - TAMIYA B1 BIS SCALE MODEL GUIDE #2

The summer holidays are over and it’s time to come back after a well-earned break! We resume with the second and final part of our “How To” video on the 1/35th scale Tamiya Char B1 bis French Main Battle Tank (Reference #282).

This part is all about weathering and how to achieve it. It is highly personal and subjective, of course, but our goal was to match the archive footage of the real tank in 1940.

Weathering is iterative and multi-layered as you will see. To speed things up, try alternating between enamels and acrylics and using a hairdryer. What you see is pretty much real time as this method allows you to press on and keep working without worrying that you will undo previous work.

Follow the complete painting and weathering process from A to B in this film. Watch the build and all of the paint/weathering/finishing stages. We used Mig Productions, Tamiya, AK, Vallejo, Lifecolor and Humbrol products to name a few. As you can see we are pretty disloyal and agnostic and use whichever paint brand or product is to hand or that we particularly like for a certain task.

No sealing occurred between effects unless shown. So you do not need to seal with varnish if you don't care to.
