I have been asked a couple of times to provide links to the mentioned sites.. Modelkit Stuff..th-cam.com/channels/BODER_Sq8ats99k1z6T8Kw.html Midwest Model Shop th-cam.com/channels/no3ZVoGPjC3z-aOGVCLS2Q.html The Model Ship th-cam.com/channels/2pYLvOwe4ULL8D4DvGccaw.html The Model Shed th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=the+model+shed
Been a subscriber of both these channels for some time and do enjoy their work. On the subject of sprue/spruce goo I use it but only the sprue from the kit I am working on and never mix one mixture between kit makers. But now I think I shall start using plastic card to mix up my goo brew. Thanks as always for you yeoman efforts. BTW I was making some avatars for a friend of mines TH-cam and FB page and did a couple of extras for yours which include Jess. If you are interested in seeing them just reply to my comment and I will email them to you and you can use or discard them as you choose with no hard feelings on my part. As always Cheers and stay safe mate.
Nigel Another excellent update for us. Fabulous work and useful tips. I am pleased that you are keeping true to your own desires and wishes and not been driven by external pressures. I feel a return to the Hellcat will bring the punters out in their droves and put a smile on many a face, including mine. A brilliant and very honest channel. A great credit to you. Best wishes.
Well folks, there you go....thats why all the hard work changing the Hull, now it looks more like the Titanic and not a block of plastic with rounded ends. All feminine sheer line curves restored! Great work Nigel, well worth the effort and will be doing mine also.
Hi Nige , Good catch-up , I have been following all these model ship builds from various channels ,I just love these Trumpeter big ships ,I have always had a fascination with warships for some strange reason,perhaps it was my father who cut up the dining room table to make a model of one in the 1960s lol ,but I can also suddenly swap to something else if it catches my interest too ,it's good to vary your builds I think ,
Hi Nigel, great update subbed Jason. Looking forward to more reviews and builds. Thanks for all of your dedication to the hobby, especially the waffles 👍
I have to admit the Titanic series has been my favorite so far, I'd love to see that when it's done. Yorktown is my 'second' favorite - and I'm not a ship modeller either - but that's not the point, It's enjoying the tips and advice that apply to all models.
Hi Nigel, firstly many thanks for the mention 🙂, secondly cannot wait to see you pic the Hellcat back up, I am 80% done on mine, thirdly please put me down for one of your resin funnel and etch set 5 they look great.
Basically, a nice catchup Nigel. 😉 I am mainly a ship builder but enjoy all your output. You have done a superb job on the Titanic hull alterations. Subbed Jason.
I don't care what you build, I just enjoy watching your videos. Everything you do interests me at one level or another. Can you throw up some links to those other site?
Enjoy your channels Nigel and I would just like to say if your subscribers change to a premium TH-cam account then all adverts go away. As someone who spends hours each day watching TH-cam it is well worth it. Looking forward to the return of the Helcat build
Gday Nigel, dont change a thing mate, there is always something good in your videos. I would like to purchase the Hood funnel and Pontos fret if possible, how can i contact you? Thanks
with reference to sprue glue, and styrene sheet, be very careful, not all so called styrene sheet is what we would expect it to be i have had to get rid of two made up pots now as the so called styrene didnt properly melt
I have to admit the B52 and Titanic series have not been my cup of tea at all. As for all the work you've put into getting the Titanic as you want it, if it was me that would have been chucked in a box and left to rot. Though I have enough kits I've started and still haven't got round to picking them back up to finish them, 1/48 c47 for the D-Day anniversary maybe I'll finish it for the 100th, a Tiger Tank with more etch, resin and diorama bits that make the original cost of the kit look like peanuts! Ah one day when I have spare time and the enthusiasm for kit building again I'll dust down the boxes and finish them. Hi from another part of Gloucester by the way.
@@NigelsModellingBench I think I originally found your channel via a search for Saturn V builds, the 1:144 scale one. I had the 1:96 one to build at the time (still haven't broken the seals on the box), I had just purchased the real space replacement CSM about a week before you reviewed it. I was sorry to hear the story of why you will probably never build your 1:96 Saturn V. My stash runs from a pair of 1:10 nuclear bombs, a lot of 1:35 armour, aircraft in either 1:144 or 1:48, space/sci-fi kits (there are a lot of Bandai Star Wars kits, mainly the trooper figures and 1:72 ships that have been built but not been decal'd/painted). I like nearly all of your content, the armour, aircraft, builds, and reviews. You tend to lose my interest when the builds drag on for large numbers of episodes (about 20 seems to be it), the titanic and B52 being prime examples. I liked the RC tank build as that was at a scale where your changes really made a visual difference at least to my eyes and kept me engaged and following the series. But, please could you finish one of the builds once in while, looking through the past videos/playlist there are far too many that just peter out without a conclusion, the DORA 80 cm, the hellcat, the RC tank. Maybe you could do a video on why you stopped word on those builds, ie lost interest in the subject, seriously bolloxed it up, or the kit was just too "wrong" for you to finish it. I shouldn't really have a dig here, as there are far too many things started and but back in their boxes on my racking shelves where the stash lives, and I'm not even trying to present a video while doing them unlike you. I very much appreciate all the time and effort you put into this channel, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
I'd appreciate it if you could pass along contact information for Pontos. A kit I purchased is missing its PE and I received no response using the contact info I have. Thank you!!!
Hi Nigel - Just wondering if anybody from Trumpeter has bothered t contact you directly regarding "The Hull"...Iam assuming they haven't. Thx for pointing out that sanding blocks come in various sizes!
Hey Nigel, thanks for the catch up bud :) I found the model shed and subbed :) it looks good, I can't find model kit stuff however although if i could i would happily sub to it :) I wondered would you or anyone have a link for it at all? much obliged and take care all.
@@NigelsModellingBench brilliant thanks Nigel. Love the work and channel (and the Land Rover restoration - I just wished I had 5% of your ability!). Ps subbed to model stuff. He’s a good guy.
Thanks Jarrad. I'll mail you some images and just an O/D requirement. Then you could sell em.. the kit parts are a mess, the real intakes are beautiful!!
@@NigelsModellingBench Thanks for getting back with me Nigel . Well I have come across some of your old vids And it's crazy I watch you while I am playing with my plastic Projects But I have recently picked up my old hobby again And stumbled across some of your videos And I am enjoying watching you There as well Thank you Nigel We seem to have a lot in common Face my friend Stay safe And God bless
I'll give it a go.. trouble is.. there are many clear sprues out there.. Zvezda is soft, Tamiya is hard, Kittyhawk is brittle.. so I feel that blanket statement may be off??

Ron is very eclectic I look forward to watching his videos and he has a new one every day.😀🤩👍
You’re a master Nigel. Thanks for make my days better for some minutes. Want to see the progression so bad.
I use MEK instead of extra thin for making my sprue goo, never had an issue, and a litre is only a tenner!
Hi Nigel, firstly many thanks for the mention 🙂, secondly cannot wait to see you pic the Hellcat back up, I am 80% done on mine, thirdly please put me down for one of your resin funnel and etch set 5 they look great.
You are welcome Jason. A 400% increase in sub numbers overnight is pretty cool eh!! You are already on the list for a funnel mate.
You did an incredible job on the hull of the Titanic.
I like anything you build Nigel !!! 😊
Basically, a nice catchup Nigel. 😉
I am mainly a ship builder but enjoy all your output. You have done a superb job on the Titanic hull alterations. Subbed Jason.
Can't wait to see the Hellcats back I came to your channel at start of that build
Coming soon!
@@NigelsModellingBench can't wait for it take care fella

The ads really are not so bad...i let them play through because if i understand it correctly your financial compensation from yootoob is greater
Looking forward to you picking up the hellcat again! Do you ever do scratch Building?
Gday Nigel, dont change a thing mate, there is always something good in your videos. I would like to purchase the Hood funnel and Pontos fret if possible, how can i contact you? Thanks
Hi Michael. If you send me an email I will add you to the list, but am currently out of frets. I will try to get more. nigelsmodellingbench@gmail.com
with reference to sprue glue, and styrene sheet, be very careful, not all so called styrene sheet is what we would expect it to be i have had to get rid of two made up pots now as the so called styrene didnt properly melt
I know what you mean. I now avoid "styrene" that is shiny.

I just used help@pontosmodel, the normal email. I did email them a LOT though.
2020 2nd edition?
Hi Nigel - Just wondering if anybody from Trumpeter has bothered t contact you directly regarding "The Hull"...Iam assuming they haven't. Thx for pointing out that sanding blocks come in various sizes!
No, trumpeter probably hate my guts??
To bad you dont have a spare hull to show a side by side comparison. Awsome job.
Hey Nigel, thanks for the catch up bud :) I found the model shed and subbed :) it looks good, I can't find model kit stuff however although if i could i would happily sub to it :) I wondered would you or anyone have a link for it at all? much obliged and take care all.
Done and pinned!!
Thanks for all the news and great work Nigel. Will the Sherman RC be back on the bench any time soon? Thanks
Yes.. I was looking at it today.
@@NigelsModellingBench brilliant thanks Nigel. Love the work and channel (and the Land Rover restoration - I just wished I had 5% of your ability!). Ps subbed to model stuff. He’s a good guy.
Can try and 3D print you some intakes if you like. Email me with details of what you need mate
Thanks Jarrad. I'll mail you some images and just an O/D requirement. Then you could sell em.. the kit parts are a mess, the real intakes are beautiful!!
Hey Nigel good to see you again have a question for you Have you ever built balsa wood aircraft
Yes, years ago!!

Clear spru works best for spru goo
I'll give it a go.. trouble is.. there are many clear sprues out there.. Zvezda is soft, Tamiya is hard, Kittyhawk is brittle.. so I feel that blanket statement may be off??
Attention span of a Goldfish possibly 😉
No.. shorter than that lol.
