WOW, Some Very Nice Models and Dioramas 😊 ! Thanks for Sharing 😊!

Soak your finger in olive oil for about 10 minutes, it'll peel right off.

Can I comment that resin dust is toxic and breathing it in should be avoided. When sanding use a dust mask fitted well when available. For the sanding use wet and dry abrasives and wet them to encourage dust to adhere to the sanding medium. Your model skills are excellent and I enjoy your posts Immensely.

I had to show this excellent instructional video to my non modelling partner and she loved it!!! I love the professionalism of "the show must go on". An absolutely entertaining and instructional film!!! Bravo!!

When you say ‘wash’ the salt off. How do you mean? Wet brush? Water? Please explain. 🙏🏼

Use a few drops of vinegar to degrease, gloves to handle , put the tissue in a lunchbox. Dust free.👍

I would have had the top and bottom folded edges wedges out slightly for an overlapped joint then clamped those down hard to secure and a tiny tab inside glided to hold the seam, just my 2 cents but might have given a cleaner finish to not need hiding

I would call it "Pure Baby Nappy RUST cream" ^_~

Hey Dave and thank you for the video on the canopies. When I dip mine in Pledge (i have two different bottles) they start getting cracked. I mean the surface, not the plastic. Have you run into this issue before?

I use Testors model glue and glue the paper to models directly

Awesome vid Dave, was it at Yarraville Park ?

I'm curious if you coat either of your rust methods with flat clear coat spray when you are done? If not do you think that would work to keep it more permanent?

Why would you not use your heat gun for controlled temperature?

DO NOT BREATHE IN THE PLASTIC STUFF

Sheppard Paine. I read and reread his book on dioramas

Hey man i got this one but i cant find that net thign that goes on the turret elevation thing

thank you for tutorial

Love it and it's the first time i've ever had to go to 1080 to actually see the level of detail that sadly my old sausage fingers wouldn't be able to accomplish anymore 😪

My nichrome wire broke and when I attempted to undo the bolt from below everything fell apart. Any idea how to reattach a new wire?

I just bought this model. I'm so excited to have it! Amazing!

This is brilliant! I will follow❤

+ or - to the hopper/diorama? Which wire to which?

Could you add a coloring agent to the Pledge for tinting on modern fighter canopies ?

brilliant, nice and clean

I used aluminum tape to tape the handles on. It works great!! Thank you for doing this video!

Too bad that won’t work for an rc car. First time in the water, everything comes off…

Amazing!!!

Oh, I see! You HAVE done “HOW TO” videos! I looked at your channel and discovered that I’ve looked at several of them before. Now I’ll look at more!

Beautiful work! It is gratifying to have one’s “hobby” be considered ART. The good modeler IS an artist, a miniaturist. I do mostly figure models, but I’ve moved from simpler environmental bases to extravagant ones, much like your buildings. Mine are closer to 1:9th scale. It has tripled my fun. It also led to an exhibit in an art museum. Again, you do incredible work. At some point, how about doing another video taking the time to linger over each piece and explain your process, and the special challenges for each one; the failures you endured before you got it just right (or close enough for country music.)…like your little lock.

I ran across your video yesterday looking for a rust weathering technique. It was perfect as I has steel wool and lots of vinegar. I let it soak overnight outside. It didn't look like much today, but I could see some rust color on the wool. It brushed on clear, but dried in minutes. WOW, perfect rust patina that popped when it dried! I don't have the chunkyness of yours yet, but I'm going to seal it up and let it sit for a few months and see what happens.

Thanks - fellow Aussie here. At the end if section two you show the end result of the rust, but you did not demonstarte how to obtain those rusty streak effects. Was it done with pigment, oils or what?

Awesome tips and advice. Love your sharing your passion for our artform. Thank You!

Fantastic build. Brave of you to tackle it but the result was worth it.

Does anyone have a good source for colored pictures of panthers in snow camo?

Over at the Artist Opus Brushes channel they suggest storing brushes laying down on a table instead of upright in a jar, or whatever, because regardless of how clean and dry you think the brush is after use there is always a minute amount of thinner/cleaner left in the bristles that will seep down into the ferrule and will shorten the brushes lifespan more and more every time this happens.

Modern Tamiya kits virtually build themselves---just shake the box. Even the greenest of beginners can build a very decent looking model if it's a Tamiya kit.......if they cant....then maybe they should consider getting into a different hobby like golf or whatever.

I just found you Dave. Very Impressive Modeling! Your detail is amazing!

The 1st example you showed using sea salt could have passed as a slushy snow covering parts of the tank where the heat from inside hadn't yet melted it right off!

Nice video, what kind of material is this model? Will it have the same effect if I apply it to plastic? Thanks.

Use 2 pegs, sping thwm opposite...w.e

Can’t hear a word you’re saying!

I was making an emergency repair for one of my girlfriend's students glasses who does not have a lot of means, and of course I got super glue on my fingers. Thanks Dave! :)

You need to go up to 10 000 grit to clear the plastic from scratches

Hey Dave what a great wee video, your 3 ways are spot on, although i get a bit lazy sometimes and cut a corner, but practice make perfect, and im always asking for feedback on my videos, cheers buddy

after dipping in the floor polish (the complete piece) then placing it on a paper towel, t will stick. You will have to sand off the paper!!

Thanks for yr vids. I just recently came back from Japan, brought some very old kits of Hasegawa & Tamiya. Most of it I brought was figures, 3D printed resin parts, and decals. Some stuff Ain’t cheap. Some stuff u don’t get to see every day.

Thanks for the how to amigo! The pledge stuff is no longer made and goes for $100 bucks now here in the US.

Some of the best vids are of folks having problems and issues...Learn so much...Big thanks
