Matthew…. Watching your vids on the 1/48 Tamiya Phantom II. Twice - yes twice, I almost spewed a (shut up compressor) mouthful of coffee all over my tablet because of your comments during the building. I’ve been building for years and Admin a number of the ‘original’ modelling fb groups! You sir, are a hoot! (I just ordered TWO Glue Dot dispensers). Even my bride walks into the room and asks, “Is that the ‘shut up compressor’ guy?” You’re famous - in my house - buddy!!!
I always learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for sharing. The Phantom is looking awesome. I'm always fearful of messing with Canopies, but will definitely have to give your technique a try.
I too hate scribing/rescribing so have started to pre scribe some panel lines before construction.... While removing sprue location marks and seam lines I go over any panel lines that go across joints... That way when you go to clean up the seam you can restore the line easier
the meditation that is canopy polishing. was a great episode to watch all the way! otoh i wish somebody could come up with a proper solution for the inherent refraction of them translucent parts like armored glass, sights, canopies and projectors for hud etc...
I noticed in this episode that I was holding my breath while you did some fine detail painting, just as I would if I were doing it. I bet I've been doing it with all of your videos. Force of habit?
About the focusing issues: wouldn't it be better to use a smaller aperture to widen the DoF? I don't know what kind of photo gear you use, and in what kind of setup.

10/10 video. 10/10 cursing. Take that Karens.
You ever try microbrushes? You can get a ton cheap on ebay. You hit details and after pull the brush point off and use it to apply CA.
красиво,аккуратно работаете...
Alclad armored glass is great for the windscreen.

16:16 you know they make good models when they refer an old damaged brush as fluffy f***ers, can I use that term?

I don’t see any of the modeler’s prime all the parts on the spru. Is that not a good idea?
Sorry to be "that" guy with a pedantic question...but whose black CA do you use? Is it one of the rubberized glues?
Ammo
I had the same question, so thanks for asking first.
4/2/22 and where are you? 😊
this is why you are the BIG DOOG.
I think we need a Ukrainian air force model soon Doog! Please.........
All Doogs does is complain. Like he is on a rag 24/7. Never happy just nagging nonstop.
