Sit back and watch my process of building, painting, and customizing scale models from many genres. Learn about techniques, tools, products, and so much more. My philosophy is simple; give a kid a toy and you give them a day of enrichment. Teach a kid to build a scale model, and they will have a lifetime of enrichment. Remember, this is a "fun" hobby, so lets keep it FUN and Go Build Something.

I have an old Cop Out that I'm planning to freshen up a little and maybe a little better detail painting. It did not have the rubber band, but i don't know how old it is. Yours turned out very nice!
Thank you! Enjoy your refresh of the Cop Out, that is a kit I always wanted but never picked up. I did have a "snap-tite" version that resembled it; dang, that was like 40+ years ago.... Thanks for watching, have a great day.
Looks good though but back in the late 60s this is the same kite one of the hardest kits I have not built one in a while I like Revel kits And Itaileri Trucks better detailing and moulding .I have put together many AMT kits even from they where AMT-MPC there instructions are hard but after so many builds I under stand them. So I can look at a page and knowing the step by memory and just a glance thats all ,I have owned a few truck myself and just stop driving a few years ago building model trucks help me as a driver to one the test for class A driver license you have to explain and point out the pre trip inspection and check many like the s cam brake play air and on . The models are the same as the trucks just smaller and its up to you how much detail air lines plumed and on keep modeling and always enjoy you can always build another one the same or kit base for parts and build up your spare parts ,
So... most of the time, it removes everything, and you are left with bare plastic. That said, I have had a few kits that leave a yellowish color on the parts. I used to let them soak longer-a lot longer-and most of it would come off. However, I don't do that anymore; I just prime and paint the parts. The yellowish residue isn't an issue once they are primed and painted. I hope this answers your question and helps. Thanks for watching, and have a great day.
I'm currently building this kit. My Dad was a truck driver in the 70's and I built many of these kits growing up. As much is the kits cost you thing the instructions would be better? I honestly don't know how I managed to but these things together as a kid! lol
I've enjoyed your channel but Respectfully. lately it's turned more into "informercials". There are plenty of youtube channels for that kind of content. Please go back to building. You're a skilled builder and you should focus on that. Of course, this is only my opinion. Take care
Thanks for the input, Tom. I don't want it to be an "infomercial" sort of channel, but I am trying to find a good balance. It's still a work in progress. I am building gradually, and building takes time, especially since I don't want to rush a build just to make content. More builds are on the way. Thanks for your input; I really appreciate it. Also, thanks for watching, and have a great week.
Thanks for the question! No, these paints have never had an issue with "tip dry". I forgot to mention that in the video, I should have. At the time I just didn't think about it because it's never been a issue with these paints. Thanks for the great question! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.
Nice review of the paint, I’ve had my eye on those for a while, so this review was very helpful. Nice overview of your cleaning procedure, also. Thanks!
Hi There . I just recently assembled and painted this model .I found that the sub hull was easy enough to do . What was the greatest challenge was the paint for the the stand . I realized that getting the detail paint on the stand would make or break the overall success of the the Seaview model . I'm pleased to say that I was successful and the end result is great . Thanks for your idea's as I watched this episode before I began . .....Yours Truly ....DGR
Hello, I speack french and I have'nt understand what you say when you use the black paint on the steering wheel . Can you explain it please, thank you !
Bonjour, Merci pour la question! Pour donner au volant un aspect "grain de bois", je l'ai peint en orange et je l'ai laissé sécher. Après cela, j’ai utilisé un lavis noir et je l’ai également laissé sécher. Une fois le linge sec, j'en ai légèrement retiré une partie avec de l'essence minérale jusqu'à ce qu'il ressemble à du bois. Enfin, j'ai appliqué une couche transparente brillante. Je vais passer cela via Google Translate et j'espère que cela apparaîtra clairement pour vous. J'espère que ça aide. Merci d'avoir regardé et passez une bonne semaine !
(Audio comments aside)... This is one of those tools that isn't really essential BUT as you point out it is good to clearly differentiate different tools on you workbench by having specific 'mini stations' for each process. It kinda cleans up your process... I - like you - used to use an old plate or lid for painting and super glue and I frequently lost sight of where my superglue blob was! So this tool on my desk is a good signpost to where the sticky stuff is! :) Thanks for the video.
I totally agree, not an essential too but... I haven't used a plastic lid for glue since I started using this and it's been great. I don't have to worry about dipping my brush in Supers Glue! Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day.
Hi there, apologies - but are you still having audio problems? There is an annoying high pitched whine going on throughout your commentary. Sounds like some sort of feedback or connection issue and it happens every time you start speaking.
No need to apologize, I am aware of it and it's been a real pain. I am not good with audio but I think it is an issue with my mic. I am trying out a different one so hopefully that will help. Thanks for mentioning it. have a great rest of your weekend.
Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback. I appreciate your honesty. If you have any specific suggestions or feedback on how I can improve, I'm open to hearing them. Constructive criticism is always valuable to me.
Thank you, and no, this color scheme is just my imagination. This is a nice kit, I'm sure you will enjoy it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day.
I've always used a liquid soap like Softsoap on my slot cars to insert the wheels into the tires. Just spread a little soap inside the tire and it was easy to slip on. Don't see why it wouldn't work here.
Nice build. Nice video. I have this truck and the Coca Cola trailer and planning on building them both next!! Thanks for the heads up on the tractor. Will definitely use this video as a guide
