Merry Christmas! I hope your wife's recovery is doing well, and I appreciate your thoroughness with paint reviews. I don't buy paint anymore without watching your tests nowadays! You've built a great community of airbrush/model kit enthusiasts, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Merry Christmas Everyone.... I'm home recovering from surgery after cancer, I think I've watched every video you have put out. Thanks for helping me get back into the hobby

[@thurow37]

Oh wow!! Mind if I pray for you on this lg of your journey?

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

Same here buddy. 12 weeks of chemotheraphy after my surgery was giving a lot of time to see many video,s. And helped me passing that bad time in a more pleasant way,time was flying everyweek. Learned in the 1.5 year i have been following this channel more than i would be learning in 10 years. 2th wednesday of januari bloodtests again. And i hope you will be having good results at your medic-controls also like me. And hope, you,others and me can ring:The i am cancer free bell soon.

[@thurow37]

@@janvanrenselaar5998 this is great news (your presence and newfound skills in the hobby but more importantly done with the chemo leg if your joirney). Def praying for you both with that bell being the a milestone for sure. Enjoy and bless your families and friends today, yea!?journey. Praying for the 2nd week of January-- keep us posted

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

@@thurow37 Thank you a lot. The last 2 bloodtests were excelent and the good numbers were increasing. Although i am still very fast wasted i am happy sofar that it is over and not on the chemo these days.But the most important is that there is a lght at the tunnel. And that i can carry on with my life further with the knowledge that i don,t have that disease anymore. The doc told me:The road is long,but where you are clear,there is a new road ahead of you,and that road will learn you to love and enjoy your life more,and you will appriciate all kinds of small things more and more.But with the video,s from Robert,it was for me more easy.Because when you watch the video,s, your mind is at another place, not in the bad place anymore. I thought sometimes.He i am gonna try this next week when i feel a bit better. Thanks to this video,s i started expirementing also with diff paints,nails polish etc. It was a great help for me and for my family. Because it was giving me the motivation to do something next week,when the worse days were over and whitinn 2 days,those worse days were comming back again. It was like a support or mental theraphy for me. I will keep you updated.

[@Nicthetyrant]

Starting building again to stay sober. It’s been 5 years and now I build with my 4 year old son. Your videos convinced me to finally start airbrushing as soon as I can get a set up. Thank you for all the content and positivity you bring to the hobby. Your channel really is the best.

[@rustedbeetle]

That's a bold move, putting give a way in the video title. Thanks for answering the questions! I paint with acrylics for miniature painting, and I'm still hesitant to try solvent based paints, but when I do, it will be because of this channel! Thanks for all of your reviews, Robert, as well as making painting accessible for everyone!

[@timcarson8146]

Entex!! I built the large scale Lambo Countach way back in the 70's. Great memory of that kit.

[@craigwest8386]

By far, Mr Color/Mr Hobby are my favorite paints. I've tried them all. Been building scale models close to 65 years now. What I love most about the Mr Color paints is the fast drying time, and the durable finish. They hold up to paint masking better than any other paints I know of. Huge color range. Very fine pigments. Spray through my airbrush trouble free, with the Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner 400 being a must-have ite, it slows down the drying time a bit so that the paint has time to settle and self-level.

[@MobiusGT]

Happy Holidays

[@cygnus_x1]

Robert, your videos are beloved by the entire world of modeling and paint. I am sure by now you know we all come to your channel when looking for what to buy and what to stay away from. Well done my man. Never change and the world is your oyster. :) P.S. Dream Theater is the best. *Bangs head on desk*

I have a suggestion, the HG Age 1 Normal(and the units that are based off of the Normal(not the arm and leg varients) there are two or three varients). I LOVE the age 1 normal and its varients because it practically SCREAMS "Paint me" with its color seperation. I suggest you check it out.

Thank you for reviewing all the different hobby product and tools. And thank you for the Q&A's. The ever rising cost of the hobby has hit hard for this retired old man ,so my selection of things that work is important.

[@TraceyHickins]

Merry Christmas! VERY good Q & A series. It's refreshing to watch someone who is confident in the product they are discussing. I have been an acrylic only painter but am starting into mini figure models and am going to keep this video available for reference as most of these companies I have never heard of but as I said, someone who is confident in their product is who I am going to trust! Thank you.

Please don't include me in the give away. I agree with you on using your mecha empire paints for cars. You have a lot of fantastic colors in your line up.

[@NWCdunnite]

After two winners that did not collect, I'm feeling lucky, Barbatos. I don't know how I missed this one, but I did. I'm so glad I listened to this video and not because there was still a chance to win something. You mentioned what got you started with your own line of paints and you mentioned the Model Master series by Testors and how Rustoleum bought Testors out and then ended that line. Other than MRC Tamiya paints, I loved the Model Master Series when I was painting and building and that struck a chord with me. Especially so, since I am getting back into painting and building for dioramas and miniatures. As to anti-static measures, again, I used to be in semiconductor manufacturing and ESD (electro static discharge) issues could destroy chips. We used to have to clip ourselves to the machines or tables where we worked. This was just 'plugging' in to the surface with a grounding strap attached to our wrist. For parts, you could probably get away with attaching an alligator clip on each end of a 3' or so line, clip one end to the model and the other end to the booth or surface where you're working and that should reduce or eliminate static buildup while working on them (building or painting). Just a thought that might help. Thanks again and I'm so glad you had a couple folks who couldn't collect the give away -- it made me realize that I hadn't watched this one.

[@aroncheek5092]

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I'm fairly new to your channel and man....the amount of info that I've gathered from your videos is insane. I'm sure i would have to go back and rewatch a lot of it for reminders on your tips and tricks. I want to jump into painting but I'm afraid of getting a bad compressor and regretting the purchase as well as the paint job, although from a lot of your videos it seems like the airbrush is the most important piece and not so much the compressor itself. Loved this Q&A video, lots of good questions from your viewers and thanks again for creating this channel and sharing your years of knowledge and experience with us!
