I used the vant-vm shield as a test ground for the swedish camo pattern. It's feels weird to see it on something like this and the brown looks really de-saturated and it's probably due the pure black, I know it's not pure black the irl scheme but I thought "muh contrast" which I'm not sure it worked out in the end but fuck it
>>74853701/12 little armory kits, they make guns and materiel (racks, boxes mortars, etc) for whatever you feel like using it if it's in that scale or close enough. I would say they made them initially with figmas in mind but I use them for megami devices and FAGs as they are close to 1/12. The prices are okay-ish as long as you take into account the import from jp bullshit, got mine in japan for dirt cheap and I should have grabbed more in retrospective
>>7482993I don't know if meme is the right word here, you mean if they stuff is worth it/useful?
For example I own the set in your pic and used it quite a bit and it's really handy for example.
Their paints are my favorite for "pure" acrylics along vallejo. The weathering stuff basically they (and ak) give you ootb solutions and braindead tutorials with said products to achieve acceptable to excellent results with relative ease, also what
>>7483062 and
>>7483135 anons said so the main point is convenience and knowing how to use it to get a specific result.
As someone who owns quite abit of weathering stuff from ammo and ak I can say it's really useful both out of the jar and when I do my mixes but I can't say that anything it's a "must have" unless you feel like trying it out. In the end there's no universal toolbox and everyone finds some stuff works better for them than others so experimenting is important.
About some youtubers being shamelessly sponsored I don't know as I rarely watch modeling stuff on yt but if someone shows a brand specifically and also it shows in the thumbnail is probably sponsored trash
