After having built models of all kinds since about age 6 (I'm 70 now), I one day, now well into retirement, just decided I didn't want to do it any more. I think it's primarily because now that I'm a widowed empty-nester and well into the minimalist stage of life, I just saw them as more clutter to deal with. Yet when I watch videos such as this one, I realize the joy is in the doing, no matter what becomes of them afterward. Keep up the great and inspiring work, my friend.
Yes as they say it's the journey that matters. Perhaps you can get back into it and have a great hobby if you are still passionate about it then just sell the ready models online.
I can't believe you actually removed those molded bolts, replaced them and wired the the undercarriage to the body. That is the biggest issue with this model and you just took this to another level...totally amazed and impressed. Also glad you didn't add weathering...I like showroom looking models.
Hey Bro´,... that's an outstanding job,... craftsmanship that you rarely see and a great car. It's just fun to look at your work and the result... I hope you continue to enjoy what you do! 🙂
I have been pondering the idea of building the 1:12 Type 35 for a while now. Very good video, thank you for creating and presenting it. At approximately 5:30 in the video, you seem to be dry brushing some sort of material over a black-painted shape which looks like the differential housing. I cannot work out how you are getting most of the black paint off the higher areas but keeping it in the nooks and crannies where depth is required. It’s almost like a wash process, except there doesn’t appear to be any paint on your brush. Can you please explain the process of how you achieved such a realistic looking finish?
Thank you for your comment and for watching the video! As shown, I began by applying black oil paint all over. This was the first stage. Then, I used various brushes, starting with one to wipe off the oil paint. While doing this, I cleaned the brush on a sponge to remove as much paint as possible, though you can also use a paper towel. I kept switching to clean brushes to continue removing the oil paint until I was happy with the result. By using a wide brush, you can pick up only the high parts, barely touching the dark spots, which I believe creates a very realistic effect
Two more questions please Bob: Firstly with the louvre scribing, how do you manage to scribe each slot without damaging the louvre lip? Do you thin the reverse side of the louvre panel before scribing the slot? Secondly, the rivets on the bodywork - where do you source these 3D printed items please?
Very well done! Extraordinary job Bob!!!! Question- How did you manage those bolt fittings from 33:17? I cannot find them anywhere:( I would appreciate your help! Thanks! Raf
Bravo!!! Bellissima macchina! What a superb job you have made of this astonishing model! I was tempted to invest in the £600+ 1/18th model until I saw this. Do the bilt heads you show come as part of the kit, or do I need the Cambrian Models versions?
Wwwwwwwonderfull result. You deserve more subs with the builds you made. Bought this kit last week.Searched on youtube and yours came up. Subscribed and gonna watch your other video,s after the Moto Gp on TV today.
Awesome work Robert, looks amazing especially with all the details you've added to it. Well done for the video too, I like your editing. Keep up the great work.
Couple of tool questions: what is the tool you used on the hose clamp? It's the metric graduated rods. The second is the vacuum stick used on the wheel bolts. Thanks! Hope mine turns out half as good as yours.
Not a modeller myself, but wow! Really enjoyed your huge skill :) One small question, since you seem to enjoy a high level of realism... why would you not partially flatten the load bearing face of the tyres (against the ground) to represent the weight of the car?
Spectacular build,iam getting ready to build mine and wanted to know where you got the pe rivets from for the body? I was thinking about stealing that idea for my build lol, once again great breakdown of the build I can only hope mine will come a little close to yours
Hi..thank you...let me know if you need help or some references. Those I got them from Blackbeard models, you can find him on Instagram or Facebook.im sure you will do a great job too.
@bobscalemodeling9863 thanks for the reply much appreciated.ill give him look up because iam ready to start building but wanted to make sure I could find them and order them so by the time I was ready to start putting finished painted body parts together I could install the rivets like you did.iam pretty much going to follow your build time-line in the video once again thanks for the reply.looking forward to your next build
Thanks for your comment.. if your referring for the one in the first part, it's from Meng and you can find it on any online shop. I bought mine from a local shop in my country.
Bonjour Je te suis depuis peu, tu fais un travail merveilleux. J'aimerai effectuer quelques maquettes comme les tiennent. Je suis plutôt fan de voitures. Tu me conseillerais de commencer par quel modèle, pour commencer à me familiariser avec les peintures, les outils et plein d'autres choses. Tu fais cela depuis combien de temps ? J'imagine que tu te documente énormément pour voir plein d'images. C'est génial, les maquettes sont très agréables à voir. Une très bonne continuation. Lulu.
Hello Lu, firstly, I appreciate your viewership, reaching out, and your kind comment. I recommend selecting a car model that you genuinely like if you're interested in building cars. I began with 1/24 scale models. Just take pleasure in the process, start building, and, as you mentioned, familiarize yourself with the craft. You can find helpful tutorials on TH-cam from skilled modelers like Plasmo and Night Shift. Don't worry about making mistakes initially; what matters most is that you enjoy the experience and have the determination to learn. I recommend looking into Tamiya kits as they offer high-quality options. I've been involved in model building for approximately 7 years now. While thorough research can simplify your journey, you can also follow the instructions and build straight from the box. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram or Facebook, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions-I'm here to help.
Hi...thanks for reaching out...in my opinion, I feel that there's enough especially in the engine section...one of the things they can improve is the air vents opening. Some of them were opened and most of them closed and it was not easy to open them out. 😁✌🏼🙏🏼

I have bought a good scriber and that helped a lot.. if I'm not mistaken I showed in the video. But the scriber helps if you have a good one.
This is as good as it gets
Awesome job Bob! The model looks fantastic, I love these vintage GP-Racers. Keep up the great work. 👍
Glad you like it...thanks for your kind comments
Great detailing. I was expecting you to start up the engine. Again great build. Going to do this kit in the near future
Thank you... I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Very well done! Extraordinary job Bob!!!! Question- How did you manage those bolt fittings from 33:17? I cannot find them anywhere:( I would appreciate your help! Thanks! Raf
Thanks for your comment... You can find them from Blackbeard on Instagram or Facebook.. you can buy the file or the resin parts too. Hope this helps.
Awesome 👏🏻
Thank you.

Grazie tanto...thanks for watch it.. Bolt heads are not included in the kit.. they are from MENG and you can by sheets with different sizes.

Outstanding in every way

Thanks for reaching out.. the tool is from dspiae roller but the second question didn't understand sorry
Awesome job. This is art :)
Thank you.🙏🏼
Sublime ❤
Thank you so much.
hello Bob grat build, but where did you get those extra bolt heads and fittings i cant find them anywhere?
lets see some more
They are from Blackbeard scaled models you can find him on Instagram
Decalcas make Bugatti Bonnet pins in 1/12......they have some at SpotModel that are based in Spain
Fantastic!
Thanks
WOW! you're a better modeller than I am Gunga Din. subbed here.
Thank you. Appreciate. ✌🏼😊
Superb work
Thank you I really appreciate your comments
Not a modeller myself, but wow! Really enjoyed your huge skill :)
One small question, since you seem to enjoy a high level of realism... why would you not partially flatten the load bearing face of the tyres (against the ground) to represent the weight of the car?
Thank you so much... Yes true what you said .. In Fact it's true..I will take your point and fix it.
Gyönyörű, minden elismerésem.
Thank you
Sublime !!
Thank you
Great looking model! May I ask, where did you get the spare wheel and tire? The kit I have only has 4 wheels and tires 🤔
Thank you . From the website of italeri. You can buy extra parts. But I suggest you send them an email first and they always reply.
@@bobscalemodeling9863 Thanks I will do that 👍
Hi, do you use primer on all model parts or only on the main body?
Hi .. I use on all the parts.. I find that the adhesion of paint is much better.
Any chance of getting a link to where you get those amazing bolts/heads??
Try and find Blackbeard models on Instagram or Facebook, from him I got them.
Spectacular build,iam getting ready to build mine and wanted to know where you got the pe rivets from for the body? I was thinking about stealing that idea for my build lol, once again great breakdown of the build I can only hope mine will come a little close to yours

I know this is a year old, but I guess like me others are still watching. So I have a question. the sheet of bolt heads ? Where do you get them. ..
Thanks for your comment.. if your referring for the one in the first part, it's from Meng and you can find it on any online shop. I bought mine from a local shop in my country.
Can you tell us where you buy the bolt heads? You write 8mm but perhaps you mean 0,8mm. Where can we buy them?
From Blackbeard models you can find him on insta.

Superb modelling skills pity the music in my opinion ruins it I want to watch you not fall asleep
Thanks.
Greetings Bob! Do you have a feeling of a "not too well detailed kit" as i have ? Nice build and report, Thanks!
Hi...thanks for reaching out...in my opinion, I feel that there's enough especially in the engine section...one of the things they can improve is the air vents opening. Some of them were opened and most of them closed and it was not easy to open them out.
😁✌🏼🙏🏼
$200 for a plastic kit naw thank you CMC 1/18th is only $268 orders of magnitude more detailed accurate and realistic!
It's a matter of taste and what a person likes. CMC are ready assembled and for me have no fun .thanks for your comment
