I’m about to build a seafire for my dad (one from the ship my grandad served on), I’m following this fantastic video as a painting guide. Absolutely stunning work
I was a happy, mild-mannered, well-adjusted kit-basher once. Then I discovered modellers' channels like this one. Of course, my bench-time dropped while mesmerised by modelling stuff. Your builds are eminently enjoyable. I have been doing what you do, for scratch items, for years now. But what enraptures me most is your paint technique. My skill with the airbrushonly began to rise once I learned to slow things down. Improvement in my paint effects came when I accepted there can be several layers to the process. Man, did the 'Wow!' factor go up. So it was with a huge smile I see how you do the same, but with a helluva lot more patience. No matter how good we think we are there's always something to learn. For that I thank you.
@@Scaleaton 14 August is coming so whu do not you make a Tempest MK II of Pakistan Air Force which was the first fighter of the country. Love from Pakistan.
Hi. My almost blind brother asked me to assemble this model that he received as a gift a long time ago. I hope to make it happen, but your video will definitely help me a lot. I have not done that since my 10 years ... 56 now. Thanks !
Super build mate!....had the immense pleasure of meeting 3 of the surviving pilots of the Grey Nurse Squadron!.... Bobby Gibbes, Bruce Watson and Ted Sly...It was in an airshow at the Temora airport NSW. They keep in fly conditions one spit like this with the markings of Wing commander Bobby Gibbes..
That was a beautiful piece of work. I have never seen airbrushing like that before but the result is awesome. I learned something from this guy! Thank you.
You're an incredible scale modeler, definitely some of the best work I've ever seen! I can't believe you're a "beginner" at video editing. It is excellent and you present in original ways that I've never encountered before, superb!
I build models but not on this level. I enjoy it, very relaxing. I do not have all the fancy tools tho, I don't have a compressor spray thing, I only use paint brushes but don't know how to properly keep the brush lines out of my model. I enjoy watching your videos and hoping one day to pick up the properly equipment.
I have just bought the same model, if I could achieve 75% of what you achieved I would be more than happy. I have shaky hands now which makes it hard, but you have inspired me- absolutely stunning !
Dilute the paint 50 per cent and use a good brush, you won't go wrong. Never put much paint on brush. Better 5 light coats, then one heavy one. Take my small bit of advice and you will shine! Always mix paint with dark yellow or sand colour. May your chickens always have eggs.
An absolute work of art. Truly superb job. I love your info bar on the left with paints and thinning mixes. I have this in my stash to do after I have made the mistakes on a range of 1/72 models first. Look forward to the next! Cheers and stay safe 😎
Great astounding work. I was a little confused why you did the roundles and then brushed them over again. But that was a great idea from you. Deep respect of you and your skill to build this and let us join.
This Spitfire belonged to RAF and then transferred to RAAF, where it was painted over. He's trying to simulate the old roundels and paintwork showing underneath the new one. Look carefully at the wings and you can make out the old roundel showing through.
I really appreciate your work. No disrespect, but I wish you guys would do a lot of talking and explaining. It’s soothing and relaxing to hear people talk 👍
An excellent build as always. I always worry when you do the white marbling because I think you've spoiled things but then it always turns out so well! An example for us all. Happy Christmas.
You sir are a terrific modeler. Id like to see you build the NF-104. It will take some modifications like wing extensions for wingtip thrusters as well as nose thrusters and the big rocket under the the tail. Then to skin the aircraft with thin foil burnish and polish for real aluminum shine. Just a request. And challenge. Thanx. Ill keep watching and hitting that like button.
Sublime paintwork....simply stunning build....I feel like I’ve just been given a Christmas present by YT!! Merry Christmas to you and thanks for 2017....
Very best model building video style with the side bar and overlays. I would love to know how. You are way beyond my level but I would have added chipping underside and prop. Bravo!
Awesome Build. There is a full size replica of this aircraft at the Darwin Aviation Museum in The Northern Territory Australia. But yours has mush more detail.
Thanks for sharing I have the Aussie Eights in my stash can't wait to get into them.....although I think I will watch your video, just one time....or two :)
I have a cheap airbrush/compressor and it does not have a pressure reduction feature on it. So it pumps pretty continuous at around 50 psi. Instead of using the airbrush, I use crushed chalk to simulate engine exhaust stains and gunpowder stains with that. It works ok, but I hope to get a different compressor soon. I'd like to be able to recreate those features with the airbrush.
