Thanks, my friend! Well, I figure you may as well try your best to master or mess-up as many things as possible. 😆

Thanks, Fook! Thanks for subscribing and welcome aboard. Yes Proxxon rules when it comes to motor tools.🍻🙂

Thanks, good luck!

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! Cheers.

Thanks so much, Scott! Funny story, I had the very same thing happen to the road wheels of my Tamiya Matilda. I had to get another sprue and have since been using a holder I fashioned from Apoxie Sculpt as you probably noticed in the video. Cheers!

Thanks! Yes it does... often more than I can muster. 😉

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad it was helpful! Yes it's a love hate relationship in most cases.😉

Thanks! I told you you'd love it. Cheers.

Thanks, Will. Yeah, give it a try you’ll like it. And you’re right the Proxxon is fantastic.

Yes, I will do that in the next installment. Cheers!

Thanks. I use tamiya filler and Aves Apoxie Sculpt for filling most areas.

Thanks a lot for your kind words. Sounds like you’ve got your work cut out for you with all the PE. I actually find doing PE quite enjoyable and relaxing tbh. As far as tools go if you’re going to be using a lot of PE in the future I would strongly suggest getting a decent bending brake. The Small Shop has some of the best bending tools made. The 2!I use the most are they’re 6” tool and the small one called “The Bug”. Good luck with your PE Adventures!🙂🍻

Thanks, sir! I don't yet but I'll be showing that in this series of videos coming soon. Cheers.

Great to hear! For blast bags you could use epoxie putty and shape the folds. I'll have to do a video on how to do that in the future. You could order a set of resin ones if you have spare $$. Cheers!

Sure. Like I said the speed dial has more versatility and having constant power is nice. I also like the balance and the way it fits my hand. It also has a chuck that accommodates bits from large to the smallest size. The Dremel has a collet system that sucks as you have to switch collets when you want to change sizes. Dremel makes you buy a expandable collet as an option which are around $30.00. So in my opinion you get more bang for your buck even though the Proxxon is more money. It cost more but well worth it. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I use the tip of a hypodermic needle.to apply the glue. A needle works really well as an applicator.

Ca debonder is a great photo etch must have just make sure its a plastic safe one ak and there a great czech one or VMS

Yes... there's nothing more soul-crushing when a disaster like that happens.

🙂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻

Thanks, bro! 😏 The candle trick is a game changer if you want to maximize your CA life. I put both into the candles, it'll help lengthen the life of both. Cheers.

miniature that's great but which glue is best for pe parts. You never answered

@@rickmoreno6858 Sorry... lol! I use thick for some parts and thin for others. Thick or medium CA will give you a few seconds to place the part, thin is almost instant. So it depends on the situation. Does that make sense?

@@SmallSoldier yes thank you

Yes. I'll show that when I get to that part of the model. Glad you liked it. Cheers!

@@SmallSoldier I can't wait are the upgrade kits worth the investment ?

Yes, for the most part. I don't think you need an extensive set like the Pontos one as it's really soul-crushing when you're staring at 18 sheets of etching and bags of turned metal and resin.

Good question. I use the regular Q-tip brand but in extreme cases like when I need to get into tight areas these pointy ones are awesome! Tamiya makes them and they come in 2 sizes.

@@SmallSoldier thanks! I'll check out those Tamiya ones!

That's awesome I hope you enjoy this great hobby. No don't paint the sheets first as the paint will either scratch or flake off. Most pieces need to be shaped, rolled or bent so the paint would be ruined. Good luck! 😉

@@SmallSoldier thanks great advice, after watching your videos it looks a challenge but also looks very effective.

@@noclass69 Thank you Jamie. Yes, it takes time and patience but hang in there as you'll eventually get a feel for it. Cheers!

@@SmallSoldier I hope you have a couple of videos dealing with airbrush for beginners lol

@@noclass69 Yes, that's another topic I get asked to do as well... thanks.

😂😂😂😂! You need to get her a pair of ear muffs. Seriously, thanks for tuning in, glad you like what I’m doing. Cheers.
