Ep.55 Scale Model [Race] Car Detail Tips 

This is what every level of modeler can use this information. Great job.

If they ain't checking these videos....their missing out on some great Tips. I've been building for Years and Still learn something. Just wish I could still do it

Never stop with the tips and tricks brother. I feel like some of the other channels just glide right past the hardest parts and go straight for the amazing results which of some of us may not be able to get to. Plus you,re "non-professional, un polished, raw" approach is most welcoming!

WE NEED MORE OF THESE!

I like all the videos model car headquaters makes

I think you should continue to do these kinds of videos Luka! It's ALWAYS a learning experience. Something can be taken from every one of your videos. I can't tell you how much I've learned? Thanks, keep on building!

I really appreciate the tire lettering decal tip. Toning it down with that thinned black takes away the "toy" affect and does make it appear more realistic. I'll be doing this on all my future builds with tire lettering. Thank you for sharing. Awesome!

I like that padding tip. I'll jump in with that one.

Thanks for the roll bar padding tip. I've got a Dale Earnhardt diecast model by Action that already had a little detail to it but I have been adding more detail to make it look more like the real car. One example is, the interior tub, roll cage, dash, and seat were orange and looked too much like a toy, and those features were all red in the real car, so, I took it all apart, removed the roll cage using a dremel to drill out the heat welds to remove the cage from the floor of the interior tub. I have painted everything red that was red in the real car and painted the dash and panel under the rear window black. I even added some red dial needles to the gauges. Anyhoo, the roll cage didn't have wider parts simulating padding so I just painted those areas black but I just wasn't satisfied with that. I am glad that I came across this video and I have some 1/8 shrink tubing and I am going to try to make some padding for the roll cage. Thanks for the tip!!!

Thanks for the tips. It is these small or sometimes, on their own, insignificant details that combine together to fill out and create the reality of the model. I know that people may not say when extra detail is missing but they really do notice when the extras like tyre brands, wiring, dashboards, padding and (on another of your videos) hinges that work and look like the real thing.

I enjoy this channel, I learn something every video!

I do like your tips video. Would be cool if you could put up more of them. Thanks

Definitely do not stop doing this, Luka, & stop looking at the analytics... it'll send you crazy! Great video as always

Ive been doing models for awhile but nothing like ur doing with all the realism like a whole new world I'm going too get a model today I'm so excited too do some of the stúff u do great channel

I don't care what anybody says... Those were some damn good tips right there. Thank you.

You Keep em Coming n I'll Keep Watching n Learning Luka Cee, thanks for Sharing n God Bless All.

ROCK ON! BUILD STRONG!

The rollcage padding was a great trick / tip. I can see myself using that in a couple of situations. Thanks for the great videos.

That's for these tips. Been away from the hobby for almost 40 years but am preparing to start up again. Being as most of my builds will reflect my love of sports car racing the roll bar padding will come in very useful. As will the rest.

Luka, your channel, your videos, your way, I watch'em all anyway, so keep them coming.

Nice Tip with the rollbar. I was searching for something like that because my next project has a rollbar and i want it too look a little bit more realistic. And the Tip with the wires is awesome. The most cars have batteries but without wires. That's a nice tip. Thank you for that. 👍 Greets from Germany.

Great stuff! Will be using the roll bar padding tip. Thankyou

Nice segue music Ozzy Osborne -little dolls 👍 killer tips bro thank you ! I envy your collection lol!

Love your videos I have learned alot from you're videos please don't stop making videos

This is INCREDIBLE!!!

Luka I believe everyone gets great tips from your vids. Dont stop love your humor as well .

Doing the flares on the Porsche was very impressive. I'll have to try that someday.

I watch these videos to learn and he entertained. You check both those boxes. Thanks for this one and keep them coming.

I understand the way you explain and demonstrate better than some others do. Keep it up!!!

I’m glad that Andy’s channel introduced me to yours. I’ve just gotten back into the hobby after about 20ish years away. Trying to get a little better than I was in my childhood, and watching some of these videos is helping give me new things to try.

Luka, this is the first video of yours I've watched, but it won't be the last. I'm a 70+ person who used to build model cars, but I haven't one in 35 years. In the60's I had a collection of between 40-50 detailed 1/25 scale models. This collection was given to a younger brother when I moved out of state in 1969. I believe he still has most of them. I do have 4 or 5 kits unbuilt kits stored away in a closet, I'll have to dig them out. Your tire detailing in this particular video was helpful & something I can use in the future. If your other videos contain the same types of info on different topics, I expect they'll be just as helpful. One thing I have learned over the years is how to airbrush.

Cool tip on the tires

Another great idea..I use heat shrink for a lot creative things

Nice job, Luka! The tire tip is really cool. Anything to add more realism to the finished build is good.

Great video. Awesome tips again. Thanks for sharing

Excellent Tips. Interesting observation: I build F1 and GT3/4 models but your channel is one of my favorites. My vote: keep doing what you're doing! Tips / Techniques universally apply across the entire model car spectrum!

Great video. Thx on the tip for roll bar padding

Thanks for taking your time do make this video. Great tips for the first time builders. A lot of people don't give us the time of day. so we have to watch the videos to learn then we wont catch the slack from it!!

Excellent tip video, my fiend. Keep them coming.

Just started up car modeling again, its been many years. Love the videos Lucas keep up the great work. I'm learning lots and your delivery keeps me interested

I appreciate the tips, Luka.

I really like the way your videos are put together . The Mustang, the hobby shop, the tutorials etc. The model builders life. The best subject matter. Why I subscribe. God bless you & yours.

All your videos are great, don't stop, I always pick up tips normally on things I didn't know you could do and some are easier than I thought once I've seen how to do them. Oh, and hello from Scotland

Nice, Great tips! always learn something, thank you Luka.

I get spoils of project wire from Radio Shack in red, black and white, sometimes I can find light blue as well. It’s the same gauge as the detail master, probably where they get it from.

Great tips! Love the channel and the help to build better models! Thanks for all your time you put into helping other modelers!

Great video Luka. Really helpful!

Old electric devices have small different colored wires in them. Those wires can be used to mimic cables and you can shape them to fit. We used to use sewing thread to imitate spark plug wires when I was a kid also. Crafting felt can be made to look like carpet and floor mats. I really liked your detailing hints. Thanks.

Thanks bro. I love your show. I like all the tips you have to give

Greetinsg from Arizona! I love the channel and all content! Keep it up!

Awesome video Luka...

Luka, I clear coat my tire sidewalks with gloss before adding the decals. That always seemed to give it something to bite into, then when followed by the dullcoat, it really looked like a rubber tire.

Keep going buddy you're doing awesome hope to see you another one

Love the tips. Thanks.

I like the unbuild. I like all your videos homestly. But, I would like to see more of the adventures in model car building.
