nice video terry, given the massive losses suffered by the U boat arm in the war, that was a nice tribute in your video, some years ago I built a hasagawa type IX U boat, that could be built as a replica kit or a passive diving motorised model, it had front dive planes set to submerge, that would drive it underwater from the thrust of the motor, then on the conning tower it had a not actually realistic at all radar dish, on a arm that was pushed backwards by the water flow, in turn connected to the rear dive planes to set them to surface. given how leaky it was when i tested it in the bath, it never saw a pond or river! plus, not being actually remote controlled, (motor was switched on or off, thats it) if you forgot to set the rudder to make big turns it would be away in a straight line until the batteries went flat.

I recognized that music. Too funny, You should consider building a Skydiver.

Very nice video. I saw the reflection of the gull and wondered will we have and action replay of dive bombing the U boat. I hope you took your waterproof leggings just in case it didn't come back.

excellent buddy

nice

Very nice Terry another great informative video and she looks great in the water plus not a drain or stone in sight lol

Loved the video bro 🤘🔥👌❤️👍

Really cool. 🚢

Great lesson and awesome model!

ALARM! Looks good and handles well in the water, Terry. Impressed with the speed. My sister had a house with a large in ground pool in the 1980s and I could not, not scratch build a Jules Verne Nautilus. Following the description from the novel the model was accurate. One meter long, powered by an internal, synthetic rubber cord that would propel it approximately 50 meters. Adjustments to make it almost neutral buoyant, the diving planes would keep it at a set hight while moving forward to a maximum depth of about 1.5 meters. More of an experiment that would be done to develop a RC functioning sub than an end goal the model looked cool running underwater and that was enough for me.

My favourite shop, i used to pop in all the time when i worked in town. Us yorkies are really spoilt with the hobby shops we have !

Love that place! 😊

If you ever have the chance check out The model Junction in Bury St.Edmunds in Suffolk great model shop.

We need to support thses local shops, the mighty Internet is ruining high streets across the UK

Wow what a hobby shop kool trains all over thanks for sharing terry keep them coming mate

Outstanding,

The bridge layer would be a good one

Monk bar model shop is a Aladdins cave of goodies. I try to get there about 4 times a year and splash out lol. Staff are always happy to help and advise . Hopefully get down there before Xmas

Well don't I feel a burk I've never heard of them wow looking forward to learning more thanks Terry keep up the great work

Gosh, I used to spend my Christmas and Birthday money in Monkbar model shop in the 70's and 80's. Glad to see its mostly the same ❤

Those shops wil all be gone soon as they just can't compete with online choice and if they need to order it in the shop you can just order it yourself , it was a lot different when there was no bloody internet 🙄🙄👎👎

Good God that is a bad location for a shop , if you do not know about it you would just walk by , maybe it is suppose to be like that and he does not want to make money ? 🙄🙄👎👎

The Matchbox kits are most nostalgic.

Hi, great shop with some very good model railway bargains, thanks for sharing.

Amazing rare footage. Must admit i've seen the Sherman tutorial before. But the Valentine! Where'd you dig that up from?

Neat subject for a topic, take a look at the history of the Dieppe raid and the lesson's learnt from that - the origins of a lot of the 'funnies'.

Your video just popped up in my feed, I was at Monkbar last year and bought a Tamiya Panther and German quad AA Halftrack, they have so much stock it was almost overwhelming, loving the UFO theme music BTW 👍🏻

Great little shop. Love these places. What’s the intro music.

A film director once said that the worst thing that could happen to a horror movie is to hear the audience laugh. Well, the worst thing that can happen to a model is that after it is built and painted it looks like a toy. And if it is a monster that does not fit on the table then it makes you want to cry with the toy...

Hobart was in the homegaurd qt the start of thw war , his pike and dd sherman is at the tank museum bovington,

Though cumbersome, it was a good idea at the time. Better amphibians soon arrived mostly use in the pacific. Thank you for a well informative history Terry

🙂 Hi everyone. Please comment leave a thumbs up or down. Which Hobarts' funny tank would you like to see next? The Crocodile, Bridge layer? Mine sweeper? Spotlight? Petard? to name just a few!

You give up doing live videos?

Fantastic but becoming a rare sight thanks to successive Government policy. Tax the Internet big boys, particularly the ones registered overseas on the level of the high street and it will balance competition between the Web and the high street and balance the market. In the meantime well done small business everywhere.

The ending of the film was ridiculous but of course films are for entertainment such as the ' joust' scene you mentioned. In reality the Tiger would probably have stayed in cover anyway. Why come out at all. At this time of the way the Allies had air superiority by far and plenty of tank busters aka Typhoons and Tempests. Having said that the Sherman is faster than the Tiger,turret turn speed much better and the Tigers pivot was pretty slow due to its weights and thick tracks. Many Tigers were lost to Allied tanks formidable as it is. Plus although not the actual model Fury was replicating a Sherman Firefly with its very powerful side mounted 17 pounder. Often one of these travelled with 4 standards. The gun was camouflaged to appear smaller as German tank crews new the longer barreled Fireflys were a danger. Famous German tank Ace Wittman met his end at the end of ones of these Shermans. Tigers have a deserved reputation but there weren't many comparatively and were over engineered frequently broken down. The only working one in Europe at least at the Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset,home of the tank ( pay it a visit) was captured in WW2 due to having its turret immobilised by Churchills. Shermans though a middle ground tank,pros and cons later had wet rounds added to help stop brewing up and armour to protect ammo storage. Most tank could brew up if hit and the Sherman no more so. The nickname Ronsons was never used by WW2 soldiers as it wasn't invented until the 50s and although the Germans had some very impressive armour the Shermans outnumbered many in just sheer production. Many were lost and many crews but fir all its defiant strengths the Tiger was defeatable as thankfully so were the enemy. A ridiculous ending took the film down a notch for me but not bad from the usual posing a Pitt film normally has. Gritty in places,no glamour but a film designed to entertain soon with its action sequences. The Tigers formidability makes it even today one of if not the most famous Tanks in the world bit just as at Kursk,numbers, speed and enough T-34 KV-1 75/6 mm rounds will eventually find their mark. I'm just glad I never had to face one!!

You MUST do Hereford Model Centre, Commercial Road, in Hereford city centre. You will NOT be disappointed!

What a shop!!!!!! 👍😀👍❤️😍😍

Friendly staff and a great old school model store...

Wow… the best build I have ever seen. The Spitfire background with photos was excellent. Following with a presentation of your build was wonderful. Thank you for this.

😭😭😭😭😭"NOOOOOO"! Go back in and film some more 😩😥😆😅🤣😂👍Brilliant 🤗

Thats one hell of a shop, I usually buy my Bachmann sound diesels from them when on offer, The music is also Ace UFO!

A simple video tour around an amazing model shop.....brings back so many memories of squandering pocket money, well stacked shelves of airfix soldiers and tanks and planes, setting up row upon row of 1/72 scale armies facing off across a turned-over subbuteo cloth pitch as a battlefield...sadly model shops are rare these days so this was a real treat....Thank You Sir!

This is a great little shop, been in there a few times.

❤️🤘🔥

Awesome history video terry very enjoyable

So glad to see this shop is still open , I used it in the 1980's, working in a newsagents a few doors up I would spend my wages on a Saturday in here. Somethings have changed, the till used to be where the tamiya paints are now, the AFV kits are still in the same place. When I'm next in York I'll pop in.
