Hi Harry Happy new year to you and looking forward to the new presentations. Can I ask a quick question What site gives the production run of specific kits Kind regards 🎅🎅🎅

scalemates.com is useful, but not always 100% accurate. There are fan pages which list model kit first tool dates. I scored a document off an Airfix fan site that has all the kit tool dates back to the 1950’s.

Another great video, most enjoyable, Harry👍😊 Happy New Year to you abd Bask 🎉🎉🎉 Im pondering about selling off modelling stuff, kits etc, Im usually late to the gig, the market place has all died before I get around to selling it🙄🙄💔💔 I like watching others doing some 3DP stuff, I should get involved, but Im going right off the digital age, but CNC and 3DP etc is a valid resource for model making, especially if used strategically. It worries me that I wont get to finish my modelling too, my knowledge and skills are good now, my faculties fail me though (especially after the Porton Down, Fort Detrick Wuhan b!oweapon knobled me - and my government sits on its hands, doing sweet FA about it, etc etc). It seems like 5 mins ago I was in my teens and model making occasionally. Now Im still struggling to get at my model making (although its wonderfully therapeutic), and time is racing by and I age rapidly, with lots of part built kits (I never get to put myself first) grrr! At least what I do, do, with my model making is fun, even if progress is slow. Fun, therapy, mindfulness, must surely top output? But why doesn't it feel that way - am I brainwashed with a protestant work ethic 🤔🤔

Kind regards and Happy New year. 🎅🎅🎅

Thanks Roger. I won’t be setting any fixed build targets in 2025. They simply never happen, and then expectant viewers get upset. I will just go with the flow and try to spend a month on each build, making only 1 video about it. Although there will be the mid month progress report. Acronym pending…..

As regards your plans for 25, you do what ever you want to do. Nobody wants you to feel pressured into putting out a build vid every week. Life is hard enough mate, you still need to make a living! Looking forward to all your builds, reviews and talk/rant/chat video's when ever they come. Happy 2025 Harry and thankyou for making my life that little bit more fun! Take care mate and Bask too of course! Bobby

Sadly if I don’t put a video out every week, which is less than I did before, but if I do miss my Sunday slot the algorithm penalises me and I lose $100 or more a month in monetisation for the next few months. Then if I miss 2 weeks in a row they cut back my exposure for 6 months and I lose $thousands in income. It’s like being a lab rat and having to hit the button for food every week. So I have to come up with quick videos to make when I have been too busy to record any kit building. The worst part is those quick, often divisive videos, do better than the videos I do all the hard work for building a model kit.
