Hi there Tom, you do such a great job with these videos. It's hard enough to take work-in-progress pictures when I build my kits but you are able to make a full stop motion/timelapse movie from beginning to end (not to mention the post production involved in the final video). All of them are just fascinating to watch and everytime, I try to analyze your thought process. i.e. which assembly to build and paint and shoot the video (you probably even have a storyboard for the scenes). It blows my mind how you are able to be so prolific in making both kits and videos while I can hardly finish a couple of models in a year. Maybe you should do a behind the scenes? Then there will be a flood of these types of videos. You know the saying, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. You should take comfort that you are the original. Just like how some video special effects are now labelled "Ken Burns" maybe you'll see modelling videos that are "Tom Grigat" style. Keep up the good job and know that there will be a lot of us that enjoy your work. -Joseph
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel! I'd never build most of the kits you do BUT, I wouldn't miss one for the world! This one is truly outstanding!
The whole thing is spectacular. The build is un-canny, weathering, details the whole thing. The video production is also top notch. The time that goes into a stop motion of this frame rate is massive. Top job
Thank you - but It usually takes something about three times and more. But for me it's some kind of intense concerning about the modelling process, so time doesn't matter ;-)
Tom, I've watched a few of your videos now and I'm really knocked out by your channel. The standard of the model making goes without saying, but the creativity and technical excellence of your videos is top notch too. Congratulations on a great channel.
To hear you're working in the TV sector makes your words even more impressive to me - thank you... I promise to improve my work on upcoming projects ;-) I use these little clips to train my animation abilities for my daily job.
The detail and craftsmanship of your builds in unreal!!! How many hours from start to finish would you guess the actual build time was? Maybe hard to figure with all the immense time the stop motion filming must’ve taken. Keep the builds coming. Truly impressive!
Outstanding.... left me breathless! I would love to see an uncut and full length video on your stop motion process 😊 even if you could upload it in multiple part's. I would love to see how your work through this magical and absolutely beautiful process. thank you! thank you for everything you share of your art.
An excellent and original video. I found it very motivating for me and my model hobby. Marmite! Who would have guessed. Being an Aussie I wonder if Vegemite may be used for the same effect?
4:00 what a ending... as the model comes to life, suddenly i felt a chill as i was reminded this toy was modelled after a machine of war... living human beings was flying them, killed or be killed... WAR.. WAR NEVER CHANGES.. glad we are living in peaceful countries and enjoying luxuries such as hobbies...
Yes, you're totally right! War is always the same bad story and everybody has to avoid it. Those planes are part of the crucial history though and I like to exercise the constructions and stories behind...
Perhaps you have mixed up V2 rockets with V1's. No plane would have been capable off catching up to a V2, they launched faster than the speed of sound. There were British jets in ww2 that downed V1's but no plane was ever officially recorded as having downed a V2 missile. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BqM-GUS6ioI.html
beautifull beautifull.. and i must say.. beautifull! Your videos apart from tge outstanding build quality have one thing that i just love... they trully Make me smile .... its just a pleasure to watch it
‘Well done Tom, honestly, fantastic work and please don’t give up , keep posting , absolutely amazing and love your work , especially the wiring add on’s and even the chipping technique, absolutely brilliant and original, definitely going to use that idea, I’ve got VEGIMITE here in Australia, neither the less, excellent work , keep it up :)
Klasse Arbeit Tom das komme ich aus dem Staunen immer nicht raus. Es ist ja in deinem Fall ja nicht nur so das das Modell spitze ist, du hast ja auch noch die Herausforderung die 4 Milliarden Bilder zu einen Video zusammen zu fügen. Das ist jedenfalls ganz großes Kino
De Lan vielen lieben Dank, es freut mich sehr, wenn meine Experimente Anklang finden und ich ein Lächeln zaubern kann... Aber es sind nicht ganz so viele Bilder 😉
not enough words to share my feelings, outstanding, amazing work on the model, and this video is an artwork itself , seem i'm watching a wallace and gromit movie. i suscribe to your channel right now tom..
I just came back to watch this beautiful video again, and this time I noticed that you primed the cockpit with back, then again with white. Was this to allow some natural pre-shading by shooting the white primer only from the direction of your final lighting?
Mighty Mighty Wiggus exactly! That's the main reason for it. It's a technique I saw from figure painter some years ago. Unfortunately the Mil-specs are not that transparent enough. The effect was not really noticeable though. I had to tweak with lighter colors to blend the base...

I notice that your weathering isn’t limited to the aircraft; the pilot has some serious weathering done to him as well! He appears to be about 63 years old, but I am certain that the pilots of these aircraft were a bit younger, during the war. Also, are those invasion stripes on the wings? During D-Day the US C-47’s had similar stripes on the wings, to help distinguish them as the good guys.
Yes, you're definitely right 😂😂 my kind of weathering was way too much and I couldn't stop to do it on several parts. The invasion stripes are like the original..
