Weathering Metal Tiger Tracks Is So Easy!

Workable metal tracks from Friulmodel are always fun to paint and weather (except when they aren't). Even if their assembly takes a while, we're rewarded with very strong, unbreakable working tracks with realistic sag, and most importantly, they're just so easy to paint, especially when it comes to heavier layers of mud.

Hi. I would just like to say two things.
First, your models are amazing and your videos are brilliant, so thank you for making both.
Second, you are the only non Japanese YouTube model maker I have heard who says Tamiya's name correctly! All the others say either "tam EYE uh" or "tam EE ya", both of which are flat wrong, so thank you for that too!
Keep up the good work Mr. Kovac!

[madfish]

Ahh yes weathering and painting tracks, just what I needed!

[SmallSoldier]

I like that VMS burnishing fluid and the grit powder you used to get the texture for the mud. Good stuff as usual Martin!

[laheu]

It's perfect, the tracks look many times bigger than they are and the mud doesn't look like syrup or chocolate :D

[georgewilson]

You are the best I have seen. I try not to miss any of your videos. But utube doesn't send them out.. but that's ok I look till I find them. I just started back into building models. It's been a jery long time. I Lear so much from you. I would like to say thank you for your time and videos.

There is just something so extremly satisfying about movable metal tracks.
12:50 And what do you mean they do not look like much on theis own?!? They look amazing!!!

[Emtbtoday]

I've just followed most of this on to my new Tamiya a34 Comets track's! They look frickin amazing!

[willthorson]

That's something that drives me nuts...when a modeler uses literally one color of dirt for not only the tracks, but the lower hull and wheels too. Just looking at pictures of real vehicles shows how many layers there are to dirt. I'm happy you are showing this way of doing tracks, I wish people will take this info and...USE IT!!!! Lol

always happy to watch night shift vids…ALWAYS

[origami]

Realism and artistic liberties are perfectly balanced, I love the details and the atmosphere of the whole thing.

[kenshinhimura]

Amazing channel broham, not a tank modeler (don't judge me) but i'll use your techniques on my planes to give them that little something they miss. Thank you for being so informative in explaining. 🤘
