I admire your self-critisism to fix the parts you´re not fully satisfied with. BRAVO! I like your sense for details, and how you pay attention to the details.
Great work Matey, I really look forward to sitting down with a Beer and watching the next instalment. Thanks for taking the time to show us your work, really appreciated, you are truly gifted. Thanks and take care. Jase 🇬🇧
‘Shut up Alexa!’.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ......oh man .....pure comedy gold that......that aside, lovely work, very well explained .....that filling for the steps behind the cockpit is sublime! Like to see that done at some time. It’s not the same as ‘filling’ that’s reshaping, and something that terrifies me.....once again Sean...👌🤙
Amazing. You took a dog of a kit and made it look amazing. Most guys would give up on that or turn out a sub par result. For the tape and concerns about pulling up paint, i always press the tape on my bare arm and then pull it off, then use normally. Ive never had an issue with lifting when i remember to do it.
This video makes me realize that i would never ever buy a used car from you. It would be nice and shiny and all smooth, but underneath a hell of bondo😂 Very well hidden gaps around the canopy! Excellent work! I really like the messy winter camouflage!
This build is awesome. I've never used the hairspray before, been a little scared to be honest. Really going to have to try it soon because I love how your chipping turns out. Thanks again!
Cool looking plane. I was a bit worried after you put the white paint on but your chipping job brought it back to life and it looks great. I'll stay away from the Fly Model kit as I hear Zoukei-Mura are releasing a new tool Arado soon!
I think the Stuka {from the radiator} has the grin of a used car salesman. The winter camo does look good. I do build ETO Luft, but I haven't tried it yet.
just getting back into the hobby since I was little. Noticed your portable spray booth. Mind if I ask how you have the exhaust routed outside? Going to buy one, but trying to figure out how I will plumb the exhaust in my hobby room. Love the vids. Great work.
I don’t have it routed outside permanently. It’s next to a window and I normally use the open window and a fan to extract the fumes. I typically only use the spraybooth fan in conjunction with the window fan when I paint small parts that fit inside the booth. Most of the planes I build are 1/32 scale so they don’t fit in the booth. If I ever upgrade to a bigger booth that allows for these larger sized planes, I’ll permanently vent it outside. I’d probably use dryer vent type hardware and run it thru the wall.
Thanks for the coffee. I tried reading what was on your mug but you were to fast. Always blows me away at how you can turn crapy models into wicked works of art! Thanks for the video.
I know, right? Anyone can build a Tamiya; pour some glue and paint in the box, shake it, and you’re done. Sean has taken some truly crappy kits and pulled off museum quality pieces. I guess that’s why people pay him to build for their personal collections.
I like how you say “welp never done this so it’s gonna be iffy” then turn it into something amazing. Could you do a video in the future about how you handle the large steps between pieces? It’s my Achilles Heel and frustrates me to no end.
When you use hairspray for chipping have found any difference when using a gloss or semi gloss or flat paint over the layer of hairspray? Also what about the base layer that gets covered by the hairspray any difference with flat,gloss,semi-gloss ? From my limited experience doing the hairspray chipping it seems to me using a lacquer thinner w/ Tamiya acrylics vs X20A Thinner the chips are harder to get but once they release you get much bigger chips and kinda out of scale compared to when using IPA or X20A to thin the paint. I have had success believe it or not w/ enamels and hairspray takes a little more work but you get much finer chips same as when using lacquers. Any feed back you could give would be most appreciated as I'm just starting to use this and currently on a Japanese WW2 aircraft building binge and really could utilize this for doing the massively chips finishes found on so many Japanese planes thanks! BTW its looking really good the Ar-234 can be a tricky bird to build esp the nose with all the canopy glazing but you nailed it perfectly along with the distemper winter camo.
Thanks Bryan. My experience with hairspray isn’t that vast but I have found that it’s harder to chip Tamiya when thinned with lacquer thinner (It could just be my imagination though). I’ve only ever used it over top of a flat coat but I have tried to chip gloss paint before and I couldn’t get it to chip.
Thanks! I’m not taking on commissions generally speaking, however if a request strikes me and the price is right, I am open to the idea. I’m currently committed to a large project, a series of ww2 German jet aircraft and probably wouldn’t be able to entertain anything until next fall at the earliest.
