Fantastic work ! Makes me want to get back into it

Thanks for sharing this!

Buggah.

Hi Dave , spotted this wonderful video at somewhat of an appropriate time, have only recently discovered the issues with Tamiya extra thin cement and model canopies, your use of pledge prior to building sounds genius - however , both these products are now out of production and a suitable replacement I believe is Holloway House Quick Shine Multi-Surface Floor Finish . However this product has a milky consistency which does appear to dry clear , and supposedly does the same job! My ? Could you prepare the canopies with this prior to hand painting “ Frame lines” on the canopies or will this gloss protection affect the paint job ? Tricky one , but have seen a u- tube video using this product apparently doing the job ! What do you think Dave . Best wishes . Ed

Great work. How did you do the blanket/cloth?

I think that whenever life and story are given to otherwise "dead" materials it could be considered as art, whichever the subject, form, etc... If I see a model or a diorama which has life to it, tells a story and makes me oblivious to the fact that it was once just a piece of plastic, I can say that it is art. Dioramas also have an important aspect of composition which could be paralleled with other forms of visual art. Likewise, if I see a painting or a sculpture that is lifeless, doesn't tell a story or doesn't evoke emotion or curiosity I don't consider it as art. Good craftsmanship maybe, but not art. I think that is the distinguishing line between craft and art. Just my humble opinion.

Thanks for sharing mate

call it experience/learning

don't use the "factory edge" of the masking tape; cut a fresh edge with an exacto

spray a coat of clear to seal the tape before the second color

Tamiya makes the best spray paint(s)

"perfect" paint jobs don't look real

the sparmax is not that cheap anymore its £71 in the uk 2024

Hello Dave, thanks for the video, the pictures are great! I like to see the perspective of other modellers, whatever someone else can add is always good because encourage others to improve and keep the creative side always up, your comments are genuine, showing your passion for modelling and the things you like specifically into the hobby. I hope to see your models in the Expo next year!

I find airbrushing the colors seems to work best!

Awesome. Thanks mate.

Great info but took way too long to spit it out.

Won’t the layers of acrylic stop plastic cement from bonding? How do you glue the canopies in?

Do all floor polishes turn yellow in the bottle over time?

So is the yellowing not noticeable because the layer of “Pledge” is so thin? Or Does it lose it’s yellow colour when converted from liquid to solid?

Years ago I remember reading not to clean CD’s with tissues as they’ll leave tiny scratches.

I just came across this by accident but it’s saved to my model file, thanks for sharing awesome job

What type of glue you recommend for clear parts?

Wow

Hello from North Wales , love the videos fantastic. Could you give me any tips on photo etch parts, i.e., what is the best type of glue to use.

Thanks for this. Do you not find the white spirit removes the acrylic?

❤️❤️❤️❤️brilliant show. Thanks Dave

What a great video . Thanks for these advisers.

So much great work, it’s an overdose of art.👍👍👏

Really cool model show. 👍

Great tutorial. For added realism you can: Paint an address on the side of the can Lose one of the handles but leave the holder in place Crush the handle for the cover so it is flat to the cover I grew up with these abominations😁

I know you’re probably busy and all.. but I do miss your modelling vids.. you have a soothing voice and always do unique stuff.

Looks like a phenomenal show, rather annoying theres a giant ocean between me and Australia lol. I think what caught me eye most is that diorama of the Great Escape with Steve McQueen jumping the fence, what a cool model!

Glad to see you back. Looked like a good shoe.

I always look forward to watching your Model Expo review videos each year. Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering when you coming back dave. We truly do miss you.

Oh a special section for me! Thanks Dave!!! BTW its Eric Galliers aka Manscale Models who does the 1/32 scale aircraft in that particular display style, he almost always chooses a pilot and then his aircraft. Cheers, Chris

Awesome mate! Thanks heaps for sharing 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺

It's been a long time between drinks, nice to see you posting something again 👍

Thanks for posting and giving your thoughts of the displayed models Dave, that was refreshing to view! I thought about you when watching someone else’s coverage of this show.

ua-cam.com/video/TzqoR9Av6cw/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Boy don’t I know about those rough roads when transporting your builds. Definitely stressful .
