    Andy, Thank You! After a 15 year hiatus from the hobby I stumbled across this build video. I immediately ordered the kit and assembled it using many of the techniques you used here. It was an awesome kit and my version came out really nice! I’m very happy with the results to quote you. Needless to say it but I am back into the hobby and couldn’t be happier. Love the videos so keep them coming and thanks again for rekindling my passion for scale modeling!

    Hey Andy, from another Andy, I think you should start an online store again, the hobby shop near me specializes in trains and has very little armour. I would really love to support you but I'm only 14 and can't get to Arizona. Cheers

    Thanks Andy for this video. It has been a great help to me as I built my Abrams. I don't doubt the information that I got from your video kept me out of several problems. Building the turret mounting system would have been much more difficult, not to mention annoying, if I did not have the video. By the way I used a tiny ball of blue sticky stuff to hold the screws to my screwdriver with the turret ring. It worked great and the blue stuff easily pulled free after the screws were tightened. Now to paint.

    Andy, thanks for building this Abrams so soon after you received it for our viewing pleasure. As always, you did a GREAT job! Do you write a script for your video builds and reviews or do you just comment as you go along? Whatever method(s) you use, NO ONE does it better as far as I'm concerned. I think I would get tons of your subscribers to agree. PLEASE keep up your good work!

    Enjoyed your presentation. I was a project manager for the M1A2S tank (export model for Saudi Arabia). We would paint many of the sub-components prior to mounting them on the tanks passing through the factory. With this model is it feasible to pre-paint the vehicle prior to any assembly or would that create more hardship than its worth?Also when weathering the model, add a little grime around all of the fuel hatches and some scratch marks where the top gun mantel flap rubs against the top of the turret - otherwise, great paint scheme! Also, the paint will flak off a bit on the engine exhaust hatch/vent in the center rear of the vehicle.

    • @Serenityindailylife
      @Serenityindailylife 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Most people do paint before assembly, he seems to do less detail on the inside because it is hard to see if at all. I do very detailed interiors on mine even if it is not seen because I have spent time in the real vehicles and it means a lot to me that its done.

      Raw Potato as much as I agree with you (re; Saudi Arabia being the heart of darkness in the modern world)... can we please keep this channel free of politics and friendly/light hearted. Andy's channel is like a little daily escape from the real world. After all, isn't that the whole point of modelling? To be fun and to keep us sane?

    For your ball bearings on the turret ring. I use a bit of vasiline on a tooth pick stub to dab a bit in the spots needed to hold the bearings in place, Usually you need to ritated the unit several times to work them free flowing.

    Good video, and you can get a ratchet screwdriver kit with interchangeable heads including hex keys. As or the turret ring, vaseline will hold the ball bearings in place, and lube them, and you can probably use wooden toothpicks to line up the blind screw holes.

    Hi Andy, Great build on the Abrams - Here is a tip for the little screws - get a magnetized screwdriver - they make the process a lot easier. So when will we be seeing the full blown R/C version on your channel? Hopefully soon. These things move like nothing else in the hobby, you will love them. I am going to assume the R/C versions will have the gun stabilization option, similar to the Leopard.
