1/24のクルマを中心にプラモデルを趣味としてやっています。シドニー在住なのですが、色々なものが日本より手に入りづらくしかも高い中、なんとか工夫しながらやっております。 Hi I'm a modeler from Japan living in Sydney, Australia. I mainly build 1/24 cars, and like ditailed works. I hoe you like my movies!
Great work, Ken! I love the exposed radiator, it’s very evocative of powerful muscle cars! I am happy to see someone who puts lots of effort into tiny details, I do the same! 😅
@@KENscarmodelfactory Very much so. The beauty is in the details for me! I am in the process of finding little details to add for my latest project haha
Great work, Ken. It’s really coming together. I love this car and it’s making me worried about the amount of work I will need to do to make mine this good! 😅
@@ozstrider Hahaha actually I’m doing too much here, I think. Sometimes I come in this mode. If I make this kit again, I will omit lots of things, and focus just to enjoy making it. So don’t worry too much looking at this insane jobs😆😆😆
Great video, mate! Thank you for providing so much details about the medium sharpening technique. What is your advice for using Buflex? I have seen many japanese modellers use it and want to try it but I dont know which one to get. It can be bought from Amazon but its expensive so I am wary to buy the wrong one! I hope on my next trip to Japan I can get some automotive compounds. It appears that they require less work than Tamiya, GSI etc with only a single stage of polishing. I want to try SOFT99 and 3M 5982, but I also cant buy these in Australia unfortunately haha
Hi Brendan, thank you so much for commenting everytime!!!! If I can only buy in Australia I would take this (↓ ↓ ↓ ） www.1999.co.jp/eng/10470799 It's a good price and small quantities for starting!! ;) And, to be super honest I'm not sure if Soft 99 or 3M 5982 are better than Tamiya or GSI compounds😁 I sometimes use Tamiya's or GSI's, and I'm getting satisfying result. Why I'm using Soft 99 or FMC 830-P?? Because I got large capacity tubes! lol The key for polishing for me is actually using cotton swabs vertically. It works on "any" compounds.😁😁😁
@@KENscarmodelfactory Thank you, mate! Sujiborido is a great company for providing a sample pack! I will try it and hopefully become skilled enough to buy a larger quantity! This video will help me learn a lot! Haha yeh those tubes are huge! They will last you many years and many many more cars! 😂
@@KENscarmodelfactory I know the feeling. I'm trying to build new habits around getting models built and videoing at the same time. You're doing great!
Great colour. I am looking forward to next video. The bodywork you did can be seen in the final reflection. It is very smooth. I don’t have the patience for such dedicated work sometimes 😅
@@ozstrider Thanks so much for commenting every time!!☺️ I know you sometimes have the patience😁😁 I sometimes don’t have the patience especially when out of modelling 😆😆 Please wait for the next one😃
@@KENscarmodelfactory I have to say, I am jealous of your Sujiborido router tool. I looked for one on my last trip to Japan but could not find one! Maybe next time!
@@frankmilavec3063 OMG you have been in Misawa Japan, it’s 50 years ago! Good old days☺️ I agree, the dried squid 🦑 is soooo good having with beer🍻 Thanks for the comment!!!!
That fast part 2 of this build.And what a beauty it is. I do envy you in a good way of your building talent. I wish i had 25% of your talent and i would be realy happy. Everything perfect on that car,the color,the stance,the window frames,to much to name it all. I was a great joy to see you building this car.
@@janvanrenselaar5998 Thanks again, I’m feeling so happy having your comments 🥰 I think I’ll do other VWs again and again, I realised the charms of old VWs including vans 🚌
Wow very nice. I started 10 days ago a VW Beetle and used for the first time Mica poeder. Mine is Fuchsia color,the favourite color of my Steph daughter. And the car will be for her next birthday. Will get also resto mod version. Nice fat wheels,big exhaust and lowered a bit. But no 2 colors like yours. But you are a specialist,i am just a average joe modelmaker,but i Learn from people like you.
@@janvanrenselaar5998 Thanks for your comment!!! Your step daughter will be the happiest one ☝️ The best thing is that you have someone that you want to give your model 😄😄😄 Happy modeling ☺️☺️☺️☺️
@@KENscarmodelfactory Thank you master builder. I need to make 1 big model more for their wedding day next year. Her comming husband has a old T2 vw van. But i will build a extend t1 vw campervan as a trailer behind a flatbed hasegawa T1 van with a V8 engine in it and a bit shortened. I am gooing all in one that build for her/them. And picking up tricks and tips for superbuilders like you. And will not rush it. I cant wait to see how this beetle turns out. Because that color is awesome to see.
Regardless of the issues of this kit, you did a great job. You should send this to Tamiya so they can make the updated mouldings based on your corrections :D
Hey buddy, it was nice talking to you during Shizuoka Hobby Show. Really enjoyed seeing your models there. But seeing how you built the Shelby Cobra is even better! I can't believe that you used a bottle to make the windscreen, amazing tip! Great job and keep it up, and maybe see you at the next hobby show! :D
Excellent 👌, well done 👍 my favorite year for the VW beetle 🪲🐞 not only for the year I was born but that 1967 beetle 🪲🐞 was a year that VW beetle stands out in many ways. From 61'-66' VW beetle stayed the same in 1967 VW changed some things only for that year and in 1968 VW beetle some changes were made again. So 1967 VW beetle 🪲🐞 or VW bugs 🪲 are one of a kind. Keep up y good work and and thank you 👍🙏.
