PLEASE bring us more such great tutorials .More paint brushing,I am sure there are a lot of people who like to do things old school.
Thank you for this great video series! I am getting back to the hobby after 40 years, Michael! Back in the day it was Esci 1/72 kits. Now I wear glasses, so (for me!) I am tackling the new 1/48 scale. A nice in-between scale 1/72 vs 1/35. Greetings from Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 😀
The best tutorial iv seen so far
Would love to see this channel grow!!!
Thank you! I don't want to use an airbrush, so this motivates me. I just want to be able to build a basic kit. At the moment I'm useless after 20 kits, so I need to get some proper tools and lighting, and more patience. I'll get there. Hopefully.
After two years of learning and watching endless videos on TH-cam I got much better, because I wrote a manual for my own about scale modeling with tons of screenshots from tutorials (47 Pages so far). So trust in yourself, be patience and you'll get there ❤
Great tips for those of us just starting out, or, in my case, starting again after a 50 year break! Many thanks!
Edit: Oh yeah, most certainly subbed!
That looks very close to an airbrush finished aircraft. 👏🏻
It's not far off, :) I just wanted to show that it can still be done without one
I have built models for many years and wish that I hard learnt the methods and skills that you have described in this video, before I started. Great video, thank you.
I´m about to start working on this very model. This tutorial really comes very good as guide. Thank´s!
fantastic video with excellent subject matter, thanks for sharing.
Seems like Model making is having a bit of a comeback... as a new modeller always looking for tips.... have made so many mistakes.... but thats part of it... some nice little tips in this one... earned a sub from me...
Thank you 😃 I always make mistakes. I’m too eager and excited and I always rush haha. But it makes that model
Unique in a way and it’s how we get better.
Came here because video games are awful. At least I have something to show for a few hours of effort
I just got my first F-16 Hasegawa kit and this video has really helped me make sure I'm not messing anything up. Thank you for the time and dedication put into this video 😃.
Brilliant upload, really clear and precise guidance, will apply many of the the techniques you have demonstrated to my model making. I really like the calm positive manner in your work, makes for confident modelling. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for the kind words :) I'm just trying to get away from that old man sitting at a desk moaning about flash and generally being miserable about what they're building haha time to freshen things up :D
Wow! What a great video with lots of good tips! Thank you for making it. I’ve been modelling for years & still picked up some good tips from you! 😊👍
love you'r explaining on how to build, brush painting, and you'r final finish. hope to see more of you'r videos' wayne from adelaide australia.
This is a great video for a beginner to scale modelling, thanks for putting it together 👍
Back in the seventies we didnt have spray painter kits , just brushes . Did allright then .
We used polyfilla to fill the gaps , lol .
Boy that glue was powerfull , smelt nice .
Great video! I’m just getting into model again at 49. Was worried about not airbrushing and after this I’m looking forward to brush painting. You made a great kit with min resources. Will try to replicate your build. Subbed!
Excellent tutorial on the basics and in the process achieving a great finish 👍
thank you, I'm glad you think so. :D
Brilliant tutorial very informative.
Thank you for this video ❤
Nice got the exact same kit feel a bit better at making an attempt to build and paint it
That was superb. Great tutorial, thank you.
Very nice tutorial. Subbed to the channel and look forward to future videos.
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
You probably moved on to do other things in life but know that you have a lot of talent and could probably make a living out of this! A shame you stoppwd making videos my friend.
Excellent video, clear, and very good for me who is thinking of getting into modeling. Thank you for your relevant and helpful advice. Very encouraging and enjoyable watch and you have got me in a much better place to get started. Thank you. Phil 😀
Nice one!
Thanks for video, it's very good for begginers as me)
Don't give up your channel!!!
Great video found it really helpful. Have not long come back to model making and a lot of your tips and approaches have been a great help. I look forward to more videos.
Best guide I’ve seen 🙏
Perfect!
Great video! Lots of useful tips and hints- a most excellent presentation! :)
that was great thank you - I now need to invest in some varnishes & washes
finally some real basic start, i ruined so many kits form millitary themed because im such a novice, im a gundam only before
Your video have given me the confidence to try 1/48.
Do it 😃 1/48 can actually be easier to work with and more fun. More detail and you can really get stuck into a kit
@@thatmodelmakingguy263 Yh I thought so because the bigger parts.
Like your style and tutorial regards Federico 👌😎☕️
again im liking the usefull info as im a almost a newbie scale model builder, and am interested in pursuing the hobby.my first kit is acadamy a-10 warthog.question is after washing the parts in soapy water,is priming necessary?after priming the larger parts,then taking the smaller pieces seperately spray priming them,how can i keep track of the alphabetical and numerical whole of the parts?
Great tips but if you allow me, a better way to apply the vallejo putty is to dilute it with watter and apply with a brush. For the canopy you can use pva glue to temporarily hold the canopy in place. Hope this is OK.
ooo I didn't know that you could dilute the putty, that is a great tip and I'll trait out. I don't know why I didn't mention PVA glue as well. I'll be sure to in the next one :D thanks
@@thatmodelmakingguy263 no worries, always happy to help.
@@thatmodelmakingguy263 There's two short videos in Vallejo's youtube channel dedicated to showing how to use their plastic putty, the older one goes into a bit more detail. I've learned quite a few techniques from it so I definitely recommend it anytime you're using one of their products.
Excellent. Very helpful. Thanks.😁
Another brilliant video, really pleased I found your site. About to start model making using a starter kit. The paints are of course so important but seem expensive. Do you have any advice on where to purchase them from please?
Thank you. Very, very helpfull. starting my first model tomorrow. :O
Amazing.. some really good tips😊
Nice video. Some great advice
Leeeeegit! Thank you
This was everything i needed thank you! Will get some of that gear ;)
brilliant :D
Great tutorial - thanks
Here from your 40k stuff. Never tried this stuff, but I have a model airplane my Granddad got me me years ago, so I guess I'll give it a try lol. Thanks for all you do, my man.
Awsome. A lot of what people do for warhammer actually comes from general scale modelling and it’s just nice to have a change 😃 I hope it’s something you can get into and I’m sure your grandad will be happy your finally getting round to doing it 😁
@@thatmodelmakingguy263 still love watching videos but i dont build anymore.
I think I just kind of started watching a lot of videos and then I just decided to give it a go and I love it. Learning how to build and paint these kits is so much more excusable these days
@@thatmodelmakingguy263 the reason i dont build anymore is no matter what i do i just cant get a streak free paint job..i washed my models,used a primer,thinned the paint and always used a clean brush and a size of brush applicable to the size of the surface i was painting but i could never get a smooth paint job so i just gave up...
@@jaws666use different paint with better coverage, such as Tamiya or use enamels instead of acrylics
Great video thank you
Good vid. Very helpful. Thanks!
I'm glad you think so. thank you for the comment :)
Thanks for sharing. Great tutorial. Toowoomba Australia. 🇦🇺
Just one question, did spray-can the primer before painting or brush paint?
That was enjoyable. Thank you for giving me the confidence to start. Do you have any special conversations for naval vessels compared to aircraft?
Nice one
great video, very helpful
thank you, I'm glad you liked it
Great video, why don't you continue mate?
Hi just found your channel . Can you advise me please. I am having problems with the Humbrol varnishes. I assume you give the bottle a good shake but have never found instructions for this , either way I have had little success with it getting a milky finish when dry . TIA Neil
Great vid. Couple of questions: 1. Did you thin down the gloss and sating varnishes and what did you use to do that and ratio? 2. What is the matt varnish spray, I cannot see it in the product list?
I didn't thin down the gloss as its the clear gloss and doesn't need thinning. the acrylic matt varnish I thinned 50% with water. yes the spray I used at the end was acrylic matt. I'll be sure to be clearer in my next videos :) I'm still learning :P
More vids please 🙏
So why did you apply a gloss varnish, then satin and then finish with a matt varnish?, surely the end result would hide the first 2 varnishes and leave only a matt astatic
Do I need to add primer before painting ?
Yes, if you don’t, the paint won’t stick and your model will look awful, I’ve learned this the hard way
I don’t weather my models as I build the ones straight out of the factory, someone had to do it
i love spitfires but don't make airfix yet
A model is a miniature reproduction of a real object.
Have you looked at a photo of a real Spit to check the correctness or at least a similarity in the colours? I tell you this because the colours of the model are as similar as an egg to a chestnut compared to the real ones.
No, it is not enough to apply any green and any brown with the excuse that the important thing is to have fun. The important thing in modelling is to have fun WHILE RESPECTING REALITY.
As someone who just picked up this hobby less than a week and a half ago your tutorial has been the most useful and clear video I’ve found on the topic. I’ve watched countless videos and have heard some of the tips you were talking about but never have I found a video covering all of these techniques in one straight shot! It really makes it so much more convenient to come back just to this video and be able to get a quick recap on the basics and which order to do them in! So I just wanted to say thank you and that you can add one more person to the list of people you’ve helped dive head first into this amazing world of models!! Time to take a deep dive on your content to see what other gems I can glean from you hahah!
Great video , we need more videos tho on models planes helicopters tanks
That was a really comprhensive introduction. Well done! Thanks for all that
Just joined a model building club and we all find your videos extremely helpful. Learned many useful tips and look forward to following through.
Hello,I have question,do you will also make a tutorial for the BF-109, It was is fierce adversary in the battle of Britain.
Also amazing video
I'm not sure to be honest. I've got a few videos planned but I'll add it to the list :D I think one of those in 1/48 would be really nice to do
Please do more videos.
Wow! Amazing video. All the other tutorials were missing something for me, but this makes me feel confident to give it another shot after my last disaster of a Mig-19, haha
Nice video❤
Great tutorial for a beginner like me. I bought several WWII planes after getting the itch to build. My first one is a Tamiya Supermarine MK 1. I bought everything with brush painting in mind, so will see how these turn out before deciding if I ever want to try spraying. Thanks for posting!
I have a question that have made me mad. The Question is "Do I have to follow the color scheme that was shown on the instruction paper or I can just follow my own color scheme?"
Nice to see you cover scale models as well as 40K. Nice stuff.
Excellent. I learned more than I thought I knew. Thanks
Excellent tutorial. Best one ive seen so far. More please 🙏
Nice video. Some great advice
Very well executed video!
I never made 1/48 scale before the airfix sabre I might buy soon.
In all honesty I’ve always mainly been a 1/72 scale kind of guy. It’s only recently I’ve been doing 1/48 and larger and I gotta say 1/48 is a sweet spot and my preferred scale now
I wasn’t sure about the brushed on camo but it looks like it turned out really nice. I’ll have to try that sometime.
it's not perfect, but I wanted to show that it is possible :) what's important is people feel like they can do it. I will be covering airbrushing in the future so people have the choice :D
Humbrol acrylics level pretty evenly when diluted. Some colors even look airbrushed
I saw someone using 2000 grit sanding sponges just to give a really light on E over to remove some of the brush stroke marks and even up the layers
