English subtitles are available. This is a complete build of Master Box -On the Great Plains in 1/35 scale. This includes a diorama and painted backdrop. Enjoy.
I think that doing this is a great reminder of what happened to them in our own country, but also it happened in places like Mexico, and Canada. The model is beautifully done and diorama set up is great. I'm glad to hear you are doing good during all of this and please stay safe.
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, you are right. Mexico and Canada should not be left out. When I think about Mexico, I often think about how the Spanish ruled that country and how they oppressed people there. I also heard that in Canada, there were recent protests about racism there. In fact, I remember protestors toppling down a bronze statue of a leader who promoted killing of natives in Canada. Ignorance and denials only perpetuate racism and we need to better understand each other in order to heal. I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. We are living in horrible times and we need to support each other time times of crisis. Take care.
Another great build. You did an amazing job with this one. It is a travesty what happened to the Native Americans. They were and are a brave and noble people and I am proud to count some of them as a part of my ancestors. Thank you for addressing a sensitive topic. P.S. lovin the hair lol.
Thank you for your kind words. It's sad what happen to all natives in the Americas. They were and, at the same time, are brave people. I know of a Native American who gets offended that people thinks that they don't exist anymore. That's cool you are willing to tell people that you have some Native American heritage in you. You made me remember that I grew up with a friend who didn't want to reveal he is Native American. His family changed their name to a Hispanic sur name to separate themselves and even learned to speak Spanish to complete the disguise. You are welcome and I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. Take care :)
@@qdc748a wow that is interesting. I cannot imagine not being proud of one's heritage and family history. It speaks volumes about how some races are treated or how some are perceived that he would try to hide his identity like that. No one should have to do that kind of thing. We need to do better. We need to do a lot better. I was brought up to love and respect all people. And I try every day to make sure I treat others the way I want to be treated. I wish we all would do this. Anyway, qdc thank you for the well wishes and I wish you and your family wellness and safety from covid as well. Keep being an awesome guy.
Very brave indeed! Native Americans are the only people that can walk 800-900 ft. in the air to shoot up our sky scrapers. You can only work in high steel if you have balls of steel!
Finally....you posted a new video! I miss your model kits. Your hair is quite long though, and thanks for building this particular kit so that people will be reminded that skin color doesn't matter
@@qdc748a Vey much appreciated. Since this outbreak has occurred our lives have been turned upside down. My wife and I haven't seen our 3 children since this started as they are 2x Drs and a nurse in receiving wards of 2 different city hospitals. Hard times so your kind words are more than welcome. May you and yours be safe this Xmas, also. Slàinte Mhath, Mike
@@gartsherriejunction4643 It's so sad that you can't see your children! But they are at the forefront of battling this pandemic which is noble and brave of them. One day, you will see them again. I also want to wish you a Merry Christmas. Take care.
Bonjour mon ami 👍hello my friend Very nice kit masterbox and awesome work for the paintings I enjoy watching your job 💪Congrats buddy good morning of France 👍🇫🇷
I've watched your progression over the years and for a long time viewer, (not always commenting) the variety of kits you've built, all I can say is that you've gotten better and better. Fine job keep it up.!!
Thank you Mr. Marinelli for your kind words. I honestly appreciate them. I always try to respond to comments as often as I can so you are more than welcome to write. My next project is building Meng's World War Toons Tiger One Tank. It should be fun. COVID-19 is getting worse everywhere in the world so I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. Take care.
Great job on your diorama of the Indians with his wife I am my self Indian iam black foot when I was in the army my father took me to see 5 chiefs I took them I know this your land they took me am welcome here they said it us your land to am glad I talk to the 5 chiefs it made me feel better I would like to think you for making the Indian diorama and wold like to think you for all the vedios you make you have a great day be safe
Very nice video QDC!i like your video their give me a good time to watching and start me a new model to start to build! Have a good time nd good models!!
Nice build and wise choice to build this particular kit qdc, a small plastic model that symbolizes many things and is meaningful. Its a shame that a good country like the U.S is destroyed by racism and inequality, i despise and hate racists around the world all the way down to my bone narrow. Also nice long hair hahah, its been a long time since the last time you posted model kits. I admire your builds i hope you continue building for years to come. Keep safe and stay away from covid, dont go outside its too dangerous to walk on a street full of rioters.
Thank you. I was inspired to build it because there's so much turmoil in my country but racism is everywhere in the world, unfortunately. Thanks for all your compliments. I don't think I do such a good job on my kits when I look at others on RU-vid. They get a lot more views and their work are far better than mine so I really appreciate your support. Yes, I do have COVID-19 hair! Once this is over, the first thing I will do is to get a haircut. I want to wish you and your family a safe from COVID-19. It's a horrible disease and there is hope. Take care.
A really interesting kit, put together and beautifully finished. And a song that describes what is wrong with the system that western society has created. What happens when there is no one left for them to exploit and steal from ?
@@qdc748a I’m in Ireland, we’re in lockdown again :( I hope your area is not that bad for covid. At least there’s more time for modeling these days :) be careful, and mind yourselves!
July 18, 2021---Got this kit a couple of months ago, but will use it in a zombie/apocalypse diorama which I'll title The Old Ways Are Best. These figures will be on a slight rise of land next to a freeway with some abandoned/rusting cars and probably a skeleton or two.
Great Video Colin ! I'm glad that you and your family are well ! Love the hair ! With the numbers of cases rising all over the globe , stay safe !!! How's the kitty ? Until the next one ! Tony
Hi Tony. I'm doing well. As you can see with my long hair, I have been very, very careful not to catch COVID-19. Buster is doing fine. He has gotten fat since I've been staying at home. I wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. Take care.
I found this video insightful, especially with what is happening in the world today. It is a shame that humans have to subjugate and enslave each other and view themselves as superior. I personally feel that this is your best vignette yet, it tell so much with so little, and the backdrop you did adds to it.
Thank you very, very, much for your kind words. When I saw this kit, I was compelled to build it as you see it on this video. Ignorance and denials won't help people heal from racism. It suppresses their anger until they can't take it any longer and just like a boiling pot of water, it spills over and starts burning anyone who touches it. My country is at that point. I have a leader who encourages racism and class differences so the turmoil of COVID-19 also sparked hatred towards their oppressors. I'm glad you like it. I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. We are living in horrible times and we need to support each other time times of crisis. Take care.
Hi QDC, See you are sporting a Covid-19 hair cut looking good. Want to be honest but racism has excited since the being of humanities birth & is a difficult subject to approach in fear of saying the wrong thing. Empire’s have been build upon it as well as fallen. Until we learn to live in peace & harmony with one anther. Let’s hope that that day may come sooner rather then later. The model is brilliant & great painting. Stay safe & looking forward to the next build.
Funny. Yes, since lockdown began, I didn't want to see my barber in fear of getting COVID. The good news is that vaccines are going to be available and once I get my shots, I will be able to get a hair cut and look normal again. :) I agree, racism is part of being human. Being silent doesn't help people heal. People internalize their anger to a point where it explodes and spills over. There's no real solution to end racism but we can understand each other so be can better control it. I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. We are living in horrible times so please be safe. And, thank you for your kind words about my work. I honestly appreciate it.
qdc!! Great to see you around and healthy! I completely agree with the thoughts on the origins of racism here in the States. Until Mankind as a Race ditches the concept of 'Us and Them' (or too often, Us vs Them) this kind of thing will remain prevalent. The World is changing, slowly. I read today of where a Tribe out in California had regained possession of a huge chunk of their ancient Tribal lands in Big Sur by the simple expedient of buying them back. The Master Box models never fail to excite by their expedient of catching slices of life otherwise over looked. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and showing us this Great Build. regards, Painless
great build. figure painting is going from strength to strength. Do you think the female figures left arm is slightly to long or is that just the camera? Keep up the good work. Stu
You have picked an excellent subject to drive your messege home about racism, it is a very appropriate one, which is often overlooked for particular reasons it seems to me. Awesome work on this figure group and presentation that goes along with it, that backdrop with the sunset is a nice touch. I tought of trying to visit some places related to the natives, but the vastness of the country and the little remains left make this a hard tour to plan. It might never happen though, but i like to think about it :) I love Masterbox figures and their take on unusual or rare subjects, pared with really interesting poses.
Thanks for watching my video! I'm always glad that friends like you watch my videos. If you ever decided to visit my country and see Native American culture, I recommend going to Monument Valley in the state of Utah. It's a popular place for more tourist to go because a lot of American Western Cowboy movies were made there. Also it's sacred land for the Native Americans. After you go there, you can go the Grand Canyon National Park which is relatively close by. The sites there are outstanding! Please be safe. I wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. Take care my friend.
Funny. When I look at myself in the mirror, I think there's a stranger in my house! Once the pandemic is over, I will be able to get a haircut and look normal again. I'm glad you like my build. I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19.
@@qdc748a Yeah! This bloody pandemic has imprisoned us all. Very hard to get used to things like those damn masks! But I've been staying home playing guitar and building models too. QDC, when are we going to see you do a car like a Ferrari or something like that?
I understand your concern. Pandemics don't come often so model subjects like these are rare. My next kit will be Meng's World War Toon Tiger One tank. I respect your comments. COVID-19 is getting worse everywhere in the world so I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. Take care.
Hey qdc, I been watching your video since you build those aircraft planes, I love those videos. I’m curious what your nationality and ethnicity? I’m Cambodian.
Great work Collin, the Figures and the diorama looks awesome. Stay Healthy my friend!! :) But the "Walkürenritt" remembers me more to "Apocalypse now" then a Indian Diorama ;P
Go woke - lose subscribers. Do social issues need to intrude into every facet of our lives now? Part of the attraction of scale modelling for me is to relax, enjoy the hobby and take my mind off everything else. See you. Unsubscribed.
I see nothing wrong with someone putting something like this in a video. He did a video on the holocaust and it wasn't given any crap, that also bleeds into modern day politics, so why is this any different? A lot of what QDC does is focused on the model kit and the history behind it, so if you choose to look away you are just proving one thing, and I don't need to say it.
I first want to say that this video was not meant to offend you in any way. As I stated at the beginning of the video that I was inspired to build it because of the the pandemic and the social unrest in the United States. I do find your words a little ironic since all of my videos are about death and destruction and the machines that caused them so I have to assume that you are an American like myself. I also must assume, like most Americans, we don't like to see our blemishes so you are offended by someone pointing out our flaws as a nation. I agree with Marauder623 with what he wrote, there's nothing wrong putting a video like this. But I do understand how you feel and I hope there are no hard feelings. I wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. Take care.
@@Marauder623 I think the difference here is that, as Anthony mentioned, it's everywhere. Music, politics, news, tv shows, movies, sports, etc. Some people just want a break and not have to think about it 24/7 and enjoy a respite. If you think about it, scale modeling is one of the few arenas where it doesn't come up at all.
@@andrewkoines6389 to some people it is about self expression, everyone has their own reasons in this hobby. Politics has been in our media for decades, you just never noticed because social media wasn't around to point it out. My view is that making a video or diorama to represent social injustice or because you're inspired by current events doesn't make you "woke", QDC is probably the least preachy content creator here.
@@Marauder623 Well, it's each person's opinion on whether they feel he is woke or not. The bottom line is that it is his channel and he can do whatever he likes. As far as preaching, I follow 5 to 10 RU-vid modelers and don't see preaching of any kind. The fact that there is any preaching is slightly bothersome to me. As I have mentioned before, scale modeling is one of the last bastions of no preaching.
I want to apologize to you. It was never my intent to offend anyone by making this video. Even though I don't know you, I want to wish you and your family safe from COVID-19. It's a horrible thing and too many people around the world has died from it. Take care.
