Copper State1/35 Lanchester | British WW1 Armoured Car 

Thanks ! I have had my eyes on that but need to burn though some of the stash first 😀

@@lpjmodels I know the feeling

Thanks Mikel ! You're in luck ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P6R8mr9Z3IE.html

Thankyou Peter

Cheers Frederick :)

That's a great compliment thankyou. Glad you like em.

Awesome! I'll try to be there

@@lpjmodels thank you, i do not know if i will be on the premiere because im on vacations but i will watch the video for shure

At some point in the future yes!

Thanks Phil, I wouldn't be surprised if CSM updated the kit to include one. Most of their others have full interiors

Mate I can't belive this comment went under the radar! Thanks for taking a look, your vids are great !

Thanks Sera ! Very much appreciated 🙏

its been too long since I got punny, might have to squeeze one in the next build

They are excellent kits, you'll have a blast 😀

They shred compared to my old xurons, instead of pinching the plastic like two blade cutters they work by chipping through against a flat edge, stressing the plastic less and giving you a ultra clean cut. I cant compare them to the others but I think they are great.

Cheers Charlie ! I use www.scalemodelshop.co.uk in the UK for my VMS, the thing I like about the chip and nick is it's easily removable, I Don't use it in its proper way ( paint the whole area then chip) because I want a bit more precision. I didnt know the russian one had the engine, the Lanchester was their first armour kits and Edgar and the team have been trying to improve them as much as they can over time ( perfectionists I think, never a bad thing ) they are out of Latvia so no geopolitical russian connections. This woodgrain was a test to see if acrylic would give a good result, usually use oils but it came out alright I 🤔

Hi James ! Sorry to hear, there are a few malicious sites out there.. thanks for the kind words

Thanks Erik !

Hi Paul, I'm not certain, this stuff smells like superglue and flows like water you could try a pva but you'd need to be quick and use thicker paper so it doesn't ruin it.

Thanks a lot MGK !

Thanks Mr Monk sir !

Thanks Den ! Hope alls well on your end mate 😀

Username checks out. 😀 thanks !

I hope you enjoy it mate

Thanks mate ! It's really hard not to leave gaps ☺ I agree completely though. It's finding the balance in the look between "bad building" and "it's supposed to be like that"

Thanks so much Robert! 🙏

Thanks Andy. I'll think about it

Thanks Robin that means a lot !

Thanks Bob, the audio levels are the bane of my existence. One day I'll get em right

@@lpjmodels - no biggy mate. Some people just leave the music really low. 😉

Thanks Will, dust gets everywhere was my theory, crevasses like the tread and rims wouldn't be dust free

Thanks Efraim 😀

I was feeling a bit rough on the day of editing so needed a chuckle myself. Glad it was noticed 😅

You're welcome Paul

Thanks Bembem, much appreciated, I'm sorry you don't like the premier feature, the reason I run a premier is so we can all chat during the stream. It helps build up community and gives people a chance to ask questions or get in touch in real time.

@@lpjmodels Good to know. I shall endeavour to join the party.

Hey mate, I had vallejo paints from 10+ years ago that I just finished with, citadel I'm not 100% on but if they have been opened maked sure that lids pressed down tight because they are a pain. But yeah a long time ( for me in the sw U.K anyway)

@@lpjmodels thank you for the reply. any thoughts on the new AK 3rd gen? i recently got a whole bunch and i like how they don't separate. You know how when vallejo paints aren't touched for a while, a different color ring starts forming around the top edge of the bottle, well AK doesn't do that. Also all their colors whether light or dark are the same viscosity whereas Vallejo light colors are runny like Fanta soda, and darker colors are more stiff like Nutella. I think they're a better recipe than Vallejo so im hoping they last even longer. Any thoughts? I know you used some new AK Figure line paints in the motorcycle build. Btw i like how you paint figures.

Thanks Mate !

You won't be dissapointed. They build up really easily too

Thanks Scott ! Yes it's made a huge difference in final image quality. The video difference is subtle but it's there. I'm using optical zoom a lot more for cropping in and the bitrate is a lot higher. Bearing more details and an overall crisper image

@@lpjmodels I can tell. I want a new camera. I’m thinking IPhone 13. I hear the camera is next level. It would make transitioning to a new setup way easier I think.

Glad to hear man, and it's a hill I'll die on. 😁

Thanks Allan, one of the things I liked about this one was the lack of interior, it just made the build quick and enjoyable, as for interiors ,I love it when they are offered ( and most csm kits do have them ) because its great to have that option. But I don't want to do an interior every time . I wouldn't be surprised though if Copper State revisited this one and made a full interior variant.

@@lpjmodels I have made two RFM kits with full interiors and it is a real challenge how to display the model to show the interior. With the Jagdpanther I cut loads of holes in the hull walls and made it look like a display in a museum. With the Sherman I raised the outer hull on pillars. If you don't do something to show off the interior there are far too many "but I know its there" details

Cheers mate !

Thanks James , much appreciated !

Thanks Raife, I was apprehensive with the wnw Halberstadt I build but the fit was really good ( I am much more a painter than a builder) as long as you take your time it'll be perfect

Thanks Pedro

Thanks Andy ! When sorting out the footage I had left it on record, so when I swung my camera arm to film it I turned it off. And turned it back on when I swung it away.. so I had a 30 minute clip of nothing 😀 it's too easily done sometimes

@@lpjmodels I've done that....nightmare!

Thanks Andrew. We are getting more spoilt with ww1 as time goes one. Miniart, copper state, meng, and more to come I hope

Thanks Jason I was really pleased with how they came out too

Thanks Martin, been a rough few weeks but getting back on track. !

@@lpjmodels same.for me but I'm doing a simple mono build to help relax

Thanks Mark. This colour was hard to film correctly and was my first with my actual camera instead of a phone so the colouring and contrast isn't quite right. It's not as bold in person. The wood, I didnt know how it was going to go but I was really surprised with how it came out.

Thanks Kjetil

Thanks dave !

Thanks Joe 😀

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Russ ! You won't be dissapointed, they are very good kits

Thanks Tony

Thanks Jon ! I'm looking forward to hearing your segment on the PPP when I get back from my trip

@@lpjmodels Cool! Thanks!

I did add a light dust layer. But what's to say they weren't just made, added or borrowed from another vehicle? Not everything is black and white and there are so many variables to consider.

Thanks Gaz ! I'm glad to be improving as I go. I'm getting to be less chicken with dust and dirt as well. I need to get through some of the stash before getting any more kits 😁

Thanks a lot John, much appreciated 🙏

Thanks Les much appreciated, all good on this side but cases are picking up a bit more. Stay safe !

Cheers Timothy :)

Thanks Septic 😀

Thanks Robbo I appreciate it. They are great kits you won't be dissaopinted :)

Joaquim thanks so much,its good to hear my skills are improving, I do try to get better ( sometimes the camera gets in the way though)

Thanks mate ! I have been trying hard to up the level of my work, I appreciate your support greatly 🙏

Thanks Sully mate. Go on you know you want to

@@lpjmodels oh i do!! Iv wanted to do Mengs Rolls-Royce armoured car!

Thanks Sümmani, I understand completely, there are so many subjects out there you can't like em all. Appreciate you watching and growing to like it 😀

Thanks very much Jon

Also lpj, have you ever thought of making little dioramas for your models?

Thanks Jack, yes I have done a few but I get very burnt out. I have an idea for one in the future though

Thanks Fus, glad you like it mate

Thanks Ferbie, you too mate !

Are you soaking them too long ? In my experience it's a lack of adhesion. Just dip them for a second or two then remove. If you leave them swimming the adhesive can just melt off. Micro set doesn't really add any adhesion either. As it's just acetic acid and water ( I think ) vms decal set or Mr hobby setter both have extra sticking power if that's any help !

@@lpjmodels soak in room temp for about 10 seconds then micro set, decal slides freely, then set un paper towel then on model. push down with brush, then roll-blot with cue tip, then micro sol. looks great then a speckled appearance under decal. don't know

Much appreciated 🙏

Thanks Brett , I try and improve every time ( doesn't always go to plan tho)
