Imagem do espetacular!

Great to see you remembered to turn that inching knob at the back of the projector in order to retract the film claw when changing from Super 8mm to Standard 8mm . Many a Dual gauge Eumig projector met an early death or expensive repair job due users forgetting to do that . Cheers for making and sharing this video .

Have u resprayed that it looks absolutely stunning i just got my blue one back from re spray

Nice car!

Watch it , it’s catching . Before you know it you’ll be setting it all up on a baseboard ! Had my first Tri-ang trainset in 1965 . Used to study each years catalogues for hours on end . Still have my models , and some more recent ones . It’s relaxing . Sit back and watch the trains go round

nice day for it. worth the climb for the view i bet. happy days

Just did the same, I found a vintage Tri-ang bundle of rolling stock in a junky box at secondhand shop and grabbed it. Have a great memories of tinkering and running trains with my Dad. Going to clean them up and get them running again.

Memory lane - I had the black 0-6-0 in about 1963 - it had 'SynchroSmoke' if you put the right oil down the funnel. Always tried to stop the loco in mid-puff so that she'd sit there with smoke curling lazily from the funnel....

A welcome distraction and trip down memory lane for us lads lucky enough to have owned a train set!👍👍

Sir Rod Stewart said in a recent interview that Model Railways is the greatest hobby in the world and I agree. For me there is no right or wrong, you are the author and what you create is entirely up to you the only limits are space, money and time. I have accrued a large amount of stock and run what ever I like. So enjoy it and don't let anyone else tell you what to do.

what a cool train love it 4

Enjoy your rediscovered train hobby!

There were 4 kids in our family and I was one growing up in the 70' & 80'. Sadly train sets, scalextric, Lego were banned. Always wanted a train set. Build a huge one in the garden. The ones you can ride on. Just check the weather before hand.

Is Eggy going with you.

Good to see you taking up wild camping. I'll be 70 this year and have been wild camping since I was 20. I have a few tips: one way to climb hills at the right rate is to only breathe through the nose- this automatically reduces the speed of ascent to what you can sustain. I would advise trying to reduce your all up weight to around 9 kg. A simple 40 litre rucksack is enough for an overnight trip & I have used this size for 2 week backpacking trips on the C2C, SW coast path etc. Currently I use an Atom+ UK made pack (wt <500 g), but there are plenty of other makes of ultralight packs of similar spec. Similarly 1 man lightweight tents can be had at less than 1 kg (eg Durston X mid). you need to be ruthless in minimising weight to have a more enjoyable time, especially when getting on a bit. Love the MG, by the way.

Result Mr Q! Great way to build up that hill fitness. You'll soon be a seasoned pro👍👍

Good idea to do test hikes, Chris! Don't slip on the stiff water. Lucy was cute whining a bit there. Happy New Year.

When I was in the RAF we did 75 kilos running. You should have ran up that slight slope. At 7:26 there is a giant half crushed can of coke in the background. That's weird! Good man for shutting that gate. Yea good vid my friend.

I somehow managed to miss this one, great footage and music! Some low drone footage mixed in too! Makes a nice change! Did you colour grade this? It looks so rich and golden!

Good to see the MG again! (And Lucy of course) That steep incline did look very steep on my telly! 12KG is no mean feat and I think you are more than capable of this, some people I know that are younger than me couldn’t make that hill without the pack on! Don’t sell yourself short at all! Going down the gears makes total sense and I recon you are smashing it! Holding out a camera and talking too really does make things all that more difficult too! I think you did an excellent job of the hill, if you did a walk around the block every day with that pack on you’d be amazed how that will help your walks uphill too. Lucy is a beautiful dog, you are so lucky! Bless her! Can’t believe how empty the car park was at the end there! All in all you did excellent and I don’t think that a wild camp is out of the question, my god the key story 😅 my worst nightmare! It’s not a bad boot for a 2 seater!

Happy New Year, Chris, and glorious adventures. Your choice music is so soulful. I hope your plan holds and you have a wonderful time on the beautiful landscape. Segun (Macknife)😅

Super! Good luck with your planning for this adventure. Have a Happy New Year's, Chris.

I know that feeling well Mr Q, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! Lol! I hope this won't be your last big adventure. Happy New Year🎉🎉

Happy New Year Chris - Though almost wasn't here - Spent much of Christmas in ICU.... Now get out there and enjoy yourself - You either do or you don't ;)

Amazing and perfect music choice :o)

Glorious landscape and flight Mr Q. There's no getting restless with such beauty. All the best. Mark

Looks amazing 😃👍

The furry edge, the wow and flutter on the sound. The soft focus. Ahhh the delights of standard 8. It's all flooding back to me. It did look great when I was 14.

Amazing! I was literally about to comment what is the difference between standard and super 8 and boom! Full description and demo! The set up is so precise and fiddly with so many steps, I just know I’d miss one out 😂 I wonder why film was decided to be at to 8mm originally? It’s so good that you are keeping this old tech alive! Really love the sound it makes ❤️ the timing change between both formats is a huge jump to! The cog marks being between frames vs in the middle of frames, such a huge difference in format, would love to learn the reasons behind the changes! It’s maxing how much things have changed in such a short space of time isn’t it? 400ft is crazy!

A wonderful video again Mr Q! I never knew the differences between standard and super 8, but I do now! Enjoyed the clip from the Elizabethan Express👍👍

It was quite standard and nothing super. Love the instructional education part on how the standard and super are different. Loved the train movie and how British they spoke back then.

I started making model when i was about 7or 8 years old and i am still making them now ( DEC 2024) The crazy thing is i am 73 yrs old and still going..

Very interesting vlog and great Batmobile! Have a nice day! 🎧❤😍

Enjoyed that Chris ;)

Some days you just can't fix an airfix, Robin.

Sock! Pow! Zok! Brilliant episode Mr Q👍👍

Love the Batmobile. All those little gadgets on it make it special. Love the artwork on the box. Brings back memories. Where's the mosquitoes co pilot. Put Robin from the Batmobile in it. And looking forward to more projection as well.

I love everything about that car the quality is superb I know somebody that has one and the attention to detail is 2nd to none 😃👍

The hype for the actual unboxing was intense 😂 I actually had this when I was a kid, I remember the chain cutter, no idea what happened to it! You just don’t appreciate these things when you’re a kid, I think you getting it now makes it mean way more than it would when you were younger, can’t wait for the projector video! Kinda wish I collected something like this, but I don’t need any more excuses to spend, I do collect torches so I’m thinking of doing a video on them. Are you gonna hang the mosquito on a wire in the shed? “Roll on” the next video!

I used to have a computer from 1993 that had these floppy 💾 games on it. In 2001 when I was 12 I came home from school to discover my dad hade taken it down to the dump, much to my horror and disgust. Even after 23 years my dad still refuses to apologise for it. All my classic video cassettes are also in the bin and he's even chucked away my video camera that I barely got to use that's in the bin. I know how you feel about old technology, at least it works and actually lasts unlike the rubbish today that iust falls apart at a moments notice.

I have a model shop a half hour walk away that sells different brands of models including Airfix. I got my dad a model from there for my dad's birthday in July. I also collect policeman and army men figurines, currencies, retro games and consoles, and flags!!!!

sadly so much has been deskilled ...doesnt mean anything anymore.....happy daze

Nice demo of your projector, Chris. I didn't think anyone would really have a working one around anymore.

Absolutely loved this mate! I’m a diamond apparently! 😂 loved the technical breakdown on the inner workings, you did such a great job of presenting the footage and such a lovely mix! Tom and Jerry is always a classic, loved Laurel and Hardy too! When was the home footage taken then? We had a few films that I remember watching but by that time they’d been turned into vhs for ease, my dad did have a super 8 cine camera, but I never got to use it, I still remember our first camcorder, that’s what started my love of making videos! Can we have a moment of silence for the malformed mosquito fuselage though, bet that really bummed you out when you noticed it, especially after painting it 🙈 please make more of these films about your projectors, I was hooked on this, that 24fps sound is amazing! I still film all my vlogs in 24fps! Well done mate, such a great video this one!

Great vlog, im kind of hibernating a little at the moment.

Unfortunately this is a common problem with Airfix products, their quality control is non existent. I'm surprised they sent you a replacement part within a couple of weeks as I have also heard their customer care is also poor. Enjoyed the camera review though.

Never give up your Hobbies. Just revisit them from time to time. I'm in my late 50s. Started building them when I was in grade school. Took some serious time off from them in the last 20 years or so. But picked up playing instruments. Guitar/banjo/fiddle & saxophone. Hopefully retired in the next 5 years? Will have time to do all my hobbies. Keep up the good work.

Great to see you were into Super 8mm films and filming . I am now 70 years old and bought my first second hand Standard 8mm silent projector from Dixons and started collecting 8mm when i was around 12 - 13 years old . I paid for it with my paper round money and pocket money . I have never stopped collecting on film and now collect on Standard 8mm , Super 8mm , 16mm , 9.5mm and even some 35mm . That was a very good print of Tom and Jerry which seems to be judging by the box cover art was a Derann Films release on low fade colour stock . Did you know that film collecting never really went away ? It simply went underground so to speak . There are still various Film Collector conventions being held here in the UK and in the USA and elsewhere . You can also still buy used prints from UK film dealers . Classic Home Cinema who are online and Independent 8 mail order . Watch out for ebay buys though as there are some dodgers on there asking silly prices for film prints . Thanks for sharing this and i also enjoy watching your 78's and model kit posts . I look forward to seeing more posts in future on 8mm . Cheers !

I'm glad you're back on track with the Mosquito build, Mr. Q! That was a fascinating look at Super 8. I hope there will be a follow-up. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and those wonderful clips you showed us.
