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!

[@colossalbigfoot256]

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.

[@charleshenderson9578]

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

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Thanks Charles, that's very kind.

[@beckersmodels]

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

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Yep, you're the reason for that special section mate ;) Thanks for the heads-up about Eric, his work really is distinctive. Cheers.

Hi Dave. I made the 1/72 Apache that got first place. Thanks giving us helps some exposure.

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

It was bloody nice - well deserved win! I think we know someone in common, I have used a guy in Sydney named Tim R for some 3D printing, and he mentioned he has printed stuff for you too.

[@sprue_goose]

@@DavesModelWorkshop ah yes. He printed the concrete barriers for the base my Apache sat on.

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

Good to see that show shown. Thanks Dave. Cheers JV

[@scaleffect]

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!

[@bilgerat7694]

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

[@bryanboswell8333]

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.

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

I use Bob Smith CA glue on my photoetch, it works a treat.

[@bryanboswell8333]

@DavesModelWorkshop much obliged thanks (diolch)
