THANK YOU for your valuable time and the effort you expended to bring the show to your You tube subscribers and viewers. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed every minute of it!
Man... I looked for a model of my tow truck in your video... lol Great video man... I have flown rc models for 40s now and have built couple plastic models... These people are amazing at their detail. have watched 2 other videos tonight... Left them all thumbs up and watching more....
I feel so inadequate but I will keep building in 1/72 due to money and space limitations. Each of my completed models is a little better than the previous.
Just keep building .... They will get better .... I've been building since I was about 8yo .... Way back in the mid 70s I started with the Monogram snap fit Spitfire ... Over the years I've built em all .... From planes to cars to ships .... Star Trek TOS ships are my favorite .... Just keep going and the skills will improve
Just keep having fun. All scales are getting to be a bit pricey. I was going to build the Roden 1/144 scale C-5 until I found out it was well over a hundred dollars. Oh well it was a great show and a fantastic vendor hall. Spent way to much.
Donald Savage -- DON'T feel inadequate. There's an ENTIRE NATION of modellers that mainly models in 1/72 scale and smaller and it's Japan! Most of the Bandai kits for the Classic Star Wars vehicles are 1/72 scale! They're snap-tite kits and probably the highest-quality licensed motion pictures replicas any company has done in the history of the worldwide modeling industry-- definitely the highest-quality Star Wars miniature kits at any rate.
Is no one gunna point out how good the sound editing on this video is? Does no one realize that it doesn't' chop into different frames because Max has different audio/video setup?
I have one rhetoric question: How do they pack and transport the so delicate plastic models from their house to the building? Those planes have very thin cables, those dioramas have a grass like stuff, those rockets have antennas that might be broken somewhere. My goodness.
I asked the same thing of the model builder of the F/A-18 in the tiger striping near the beginning of the video showroom portion. He said, "It's just part of the process you have to deal with when exhibiting at the conventions."
I know this isn't a build video but does anyone know what airbrush he uses in his other videos. Im looking at getting one because it looks like it makes a difference.
I believe an airbrush is the most essential tool for the model builder. It really enhances the look of any project all the more. If I couldn't airbrush, I wouldn't build kits at all.
Hi, I don't know of any Blue Angels exhibit at the 22:23 mark. There is a short clip of the "Summer of '64" Blue Angels flight line at 18:41. That is the only shot I have of that display though.
Max_Afterburner Depends on judges but I don't know about the nats but if there's a smaller contest that local club puts on annually I've seen winners chosen by name recognition too!😡 names of entrant shouldn't be on paperwork in my opinion!🤔 Jman👀
For example, at 4:58, that splinter F-16C looks amazing but it has some technical mistakes. It is serial #86-0314 which is a block 30, but he has built it as a Block 40 (WAR HUD, extra strengthening plates, antenna on vertical stabiliser). The pros aren't perfect :)
Harry Marshall True if someone knows their F16 I can see that but the bullshit they look for are misaligned wheels on armour/cars on planes it's wings,landing gear symmetry! Also they may use their $19.95 atomic beam flashlights to spot seems and glue marks!😳 Jman👀
I'm no expert on them, but I'm a huge Viper fan. I know a fair amount about the Viper, but I couldn't spot mistakes on another aircraft. An F-14A is an F-14A to me; I could spot the difference between an A and a D Tomcat but that's it. I guess in competitions of this level they have to be that fussy, especially if there are trophies/prizes involved. For me, I like to build with detail and accuracy but it's for me and me only. I build and call it quits when I'm happy :) I have just made a rather big mistake on my F-16C blk 30; I thought that they had updated the landing gear and so I elected to use the more modern strut. Turns out that they in fact have no updated the landing gear, and instead removed the MLG light and installed the NLG light instead. Oops!
Crunch,, you just sat on my model city! Oh sorry, there’s no chairs here, and my bikini zone was chafing. Hope it’s not too damaged, perhaps a little glue. Oh Oh! There goes Tokyo. I think a missile launch underwater diorama of a nuclear sub would be cool. Missile about to clear surface. Also Lady Be Good about to touch down on auto pilot in Libyan desert.
When you know insane anal retentiveness has set in -- models of ALL 24 Essex class carriers, most of them in their original (no angled deck refit) configuration! Yeah, yeah -- I know they don't build ships exactly the same and that different yards built these ships but still there's no much difference between the original Essex (CV-9) and the last finished ship (Oriskany, shown in angled deck from? The hull numbers were fuzzy for quite a few of the models in the video).
Le surrender.... La rédition! :P Greetings from France! I would have prefered that char B1 to kick some german armour rather than this cliché but voilà...
