Love the length and depth of your videos. There’s the fast forward button if needed. Since returning to the hobby I’ve found your videos really helpful. They have helped a huge amount.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for watching!

[@davep4703]

Nigel, I watch your work because I like the highly detailed instructions and I'm sure many others out there will agree, if some dont like it then fast forward. Keep it how it up Nigel. Kind regards Dave Porter, London

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Many thanks

[@gavsmodelingchannel6044]

Hi nigel Love your videos especially for myself and the details you put into it. Coming back to the hobby after years away. Especially being disabled know and no longer allowed or able to go to work building the kits, the hobby and the videos you produce keeps me saine

[@anniepoulton8501]

Nigel there will always someone who dislikes the way you do your video builds, as for me I love the level of detail that you put into your builds, and I appreciate the tips that you give, many thanks to you for that😊

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for that

[@OnlyQualityPeople4ME]

I love all your stuff.....even the videos builds that drag on forever. 😆 I mean, what else am I going to watch, Downton Abby again and again?

[@thomassullivan5511]

Nigel- I would love to see what you could do with an old Monogram kit and and some old school tube cement. Love the channel.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Nigel, grezt progress on the Seaking, it's going to be a stunner when finished, looking forward to the next update, bext regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍

[@jefffranckowiak8911]

Love your build videos, and the details, glad you don't tolerate rude, this is educational and entertaining, more power to you!

Nigel just keep doing what you are doing....... It Works !

Keep up the good work Nigel. Kept me entertained sunday afternoon catching up on all last weeks videos

Hi Nigel, Really nice progress on the Sea King. The fit of this kit is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you enjoyed it Jeff.

[@phillipsiviter2024]

Starting to look like a sea King now Nige, nice progress.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

She is Phillip.. she's a beauty!!

[@martinfisher495]

I love the detail in your builds, I started in lock down, thanks to you, my level of build quality and detail has advanced rapidly, so much so, I have now just received my first commission. I look at everything you do, whether basic or advanced because I learn something every time, be it technique or tools wise. Keep up the great work buddy.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you like them!

[@gavsmodelingchannel6044]

Ignore the bad press, they are jealous and obviously bot as skilled as you are. Your builds and videos are fantastic especially for those of us who are getting back into the hobby after years away

[@jefffranckowiak8911]

Funny that you mentioned Cats, I have several, and there are pros and cons, all complete models must be behind plexiglass, and I have to constantly vacuum up hair, even though all my building is done in a separate shed! However, there discarded whiskers make excellent antennas, and are flexible and last forever!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Brilliant!!

[@soppdrake]

What a great idea! My smooth collie hackle hairs would make fantastic whip aerials!

[@markgough2400]

Pre ordered one. I live right next to Heli-opps in Portland so will using that colour scheme. Great work as usual. Really enjoy your videos👍🏼

[@darrylmasters5032]

Love the detail Nigel, you've helped me come along so much in my own skills...which are still very wanting LOL, but least we try and learn and without your types of vids who would learn a thing from a 30min x10 speed set to music :( not for me personally. Keep up the lords work mate :)

[@toboldlygosmodelworks1973]

To be honest, those haters are jealous, because your video's are engaging and interesting, from someone who struggles to talk ( even if I've got the words planned out in my head) for more than 15 minutes. Nice one

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks James. Kind words from a fellow you tuber.

[@harryaudia6]

It looks an amazing kit Nigel, and you are certainly doing it justice....well done👍

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Many thanks

i for one love your detaied builds helps me alot with info i don`t know about keep up the great work Nigel

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks, will do!

[@jefffranckowiak8911]

Magnificent work on the interior, it's almost a shame to close it up inside😢

[@alexb1340]

Dear Nigel, You are making brilliant job of this kit and just loving the build videos, the internals and cockpit look fantastic.. Totally Awesome.... Please just ignore any idiots who moan about too much detail, You do what You do, and you do it Brilliantly 👍👍👍

[@christineclaircy8418]

Ne change rien Nigel,I like yours videos

[@stevewilliams1769]

Nice work Nigel, I appreciate the effort and detail you put into all these videos.

[@ChrisColeman-yf8jk]

Nigel the speed of build is great as you say so many speed froth build icing a false impression to those newbies thinking wow this shiny take long then lose the will to carry on building in the future No one is every an expert yes there are some great builders out there but you are never to old to learn new techniques I class my self as an intermediate having returned to the hobby after too many years I'm learning all the time keep up the great work and videos

[@daleaddison2988]

Watching your videos and the detail got me to slow down and make my models look %100 better now thank you Nigel

[@tonygary7611]

Beautiful interior work

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you like it!

[@ralphford4302]

Nigel, great build, enjoy the build part of a model more than anything so the detail is appreciated - the explanations of your thought processes are a help in this kit but can be applied to building any model, great job truly - it also seems Airfix has really stepped up their game in some of these newer releases

[@YLA_5140]

Outstanding build ! Thank you so much Nigel for sharing it with us 👍. I have never built an helicopter in 1/48 scale but your videos convinced me to do so.

[@mikemontgomery2654]

Looking fantastic Nigel! Loving the series, so far. Still can’t believe it took this long to get a 1/48 Sea King kit that looks this good.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

You and me both!

[@tronmcconnell4465]

Nigel, another great, and for me, useful, video. The build is looking absolutely great. I really loved your comment near the end about the importance of looking ahead / thinking ahead; this is what every good engineer / model builder should learn (or have learned) how to do, whether the skill to which that technique is applied is electronic design, software design, or model building.

[@999rxerox4]

Bloody Nige, you love sticking your finger where it doesn't belong🤓Fantastic work on this kit and I do appreciate the level of detail in your videos> Might have to get this kit when it finally arrives down under

[@davidross1884]

Hi Nige, hope you and Jess are as fine as can be😁 yeah! Looking the part now, real nice. 👌That's another helicopter to add to the list, got the Tarhe last month for my birthday so probs get this for me Xmas lol. All the best, take care 👍

[@james19eighty]

Morning Nigel, im loving this! This build is the first thing I want to watch in the mornings (here in Australia). I miss the Sea Kings from the Royal Australian Navy, they were Mk.50As. I thought the end of the pee tube was brass? I only say that as I'm sure the guys use to polish it with brasso? That was about 15yrs ago, though... I've preordered my kit, it'll be awhile until it arrives over this side of the world. Have a great day mate!

[@avalonm8541]

I tend to steer clear of the videos where its just someone assembling a kit with out an explanation of what the plans show and why they are doing things in a certain order as they arent instructional just someone throwing a kit together. Your construction vids are A+ IMHO, the same with the kit reviews, I never considered Meng until I saw the Chieftain review and build, so bought the Meng Warrior, which looks as clean as the Challenger. I also bought the Meng M911 with Trailer, which doesnt seem to have any where near the number of Injector and/or Ejector pin marks, even on the trailer. Keep up the good work please.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thank you

[@michaelwills1734]

The thing in the back of the pilots seat is the stowage for the sea anchor. A small parachute that the pilot throws in which is attached to the front of the aircraft which keeps the nose steady if the aircraft has ditched

[@andrewgilbert9108]

Great build Nigel. Thanks for leaving that bit out on purpose. I was shouting at the screen, it really does increase the tension and drama of the build. Can’t wait to pick up my copy and get building. I would choose the same scheme as you have as it reminds me of driving past Culdrose going on a family holiday too many years ago to mention. Maybe the only improvement would be the Junglie in it’s arctic cam. Would you build another and if so what scheme ?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I didn't leave it out on purpose.. I actually forgot to put it in!!

[@RimsModels]

Great video my friend wow the sea king is looking amazing the cockpit is really detailed and beautifully painted the chipping looks fantastic and really gives it a worn look please keep on doing what you do cause there’s always plenty to learn this is turning into a beautiful build and a pleasure to follow thanks for sharing 😊😊

[@guypenrose5477]

Hi Nigel, the joystick is called the cyclic! Great build really looking forward to receiving mine! Cheers

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for the info!

[@hellooohowareudoing]

I love the detail you put into the videos - I hope you keep doing it this way!

Thanks Paul. It really is an enjoyable build. Definitely the best Airfix have ever made.

[@plasticmonkey5594]

[@simonworrall7950]

A typical helicopter has three flight control inputs-the cyclic stick (the bent one in front of the seat), the collective lever (the straighter one to the side), and anti-torque pedals.

[@charlesemerson6763]

Top job.

One question though on the hairspray technique I know you decant it etc but whe. You put it through the airbrush do you think it at all with thinners or is it neat

[@NigelsModellingBench]

It's neat Gav.

[@flashdavey]

Please can you recommend a black primer? I can get neither 1500 surfacer or Mrp. No one has any anywhere. Thanks

Umm, no. Cant you just use grey?
