Building a diorama base for the MFH Hawker Hurricane plus the charity auction details

[@RampageRok]

Happy Owner of this great piece here. Its superb being able to see the bits come together on video! (I too noticed the backwards motor but the effect is not diminished!)

[@SteamGeezerUK]

I'm just glad it arrived in one piece and you're happy with it. The prop spins backwards on purpose - it's so it pushes onto the shaft and there's no chance of it flying off across the room :-)

A tip : you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

[@randybowie25]

@Daniel Jack yea, I've been using flixzone} for since december myself :D

[@robjohnson2821]

Awesome. Am always so impressed by how easy you make it look (and I know it takes years to become as talented as you are) but also how you get across how much fun you are having and enjoying what you do and create. Fabulous, you give ham-fisted people like me lots of inspiration and great help. Thanks

[@keithhoremans]

As a benefactor of models for heroes, can I say thanks for this. I have just found your channel and I’ll be glued (🙄) to it from now on

[@SteamGeezerUK]

That means a lot, thanks, I appreciate it.

[@mossmonaco9061]

Cool idea with the reversed prop, nice build. Thanks.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@johnfoggo9800]

I think the way you have made this model is great; simple little touches make it into something so different. All for a fantastic cause. Also think any information you have to share with us is good be that modelling, glue mixing or box building.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Like painting a canvas . Models and sketching and paintings , are a form of art work . Skills common to all . Thank you

[@rob9472]

Absolutely spectacular job it turned out great and that trick with the bit of sprue was really bloody clever, Best of luck with the auction.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks, I appreciate it :-)

[@StringsIV]

Another great model and video. I'd also like to see your box making process.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks. I'm going to get around to the box making video over the summer hopefully.

[@chancerNW]

Really great work, love the landing field presentation. Hope the auction goes well.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks, I appreciate it :-)

[@paulevans3261]

OUTSTANDING!!! And yes I would like to see how you make your Dio boxes, Please, :-)

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks. Next time I make a box I'll see if I can make a video of it.

[@johnpatrickfay5288]

Really enjoyed the build sir..

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks, I appreciate it :-)

[@joannecarroll5504]

Good luck with your auction.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks :-)

[@maxclickenhof1049]

Yes please show the box making.

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Next time I make one, I'll try to shoot a video of it. Thanks for watching.

[@maxclickenhof1049]

@@SteamGeezerUK Thank you. I look forward to it.

[@miger1824]

Could I as well as LED's,also run a simple propellor off this too?

[@SteamGeezerUK]

You certainly can. That's exactly what I'm doing here - the landing lights and the motor for the propeller.

[@miger1824]

@@SteamGeezerUK Thanks for the reply. Can i add a resistor before connecting to the motor to slow the propellor?? or what do you suggest? Thanks again, have subscribed--great stuff!

[@SteamGeezerUK]

@@miger1824 Thanks, I appreciate it. You could add a resistor, sure. It might also we worth looking at slower motors.

[@miger1824]

What motor would you suggest/ would need to be as small though.@@SteamGeezerUK

[@SteamGeezerUK]

@@miger1824 These are the ones I use. It's actually cheaper to buy 5 than to buy 1... amzn.to/2HNRCBV

[@markshaw5903]

hope you dont mind, i have shared on my facebook so hopefully increase the the audience for you a bit! good job and well done

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Not at all, I appreciate it. Thanks very much :-)

[@arnaudborne6904]

What is the static grass you are using?

[@SteamGeezerUK]

I have a number of different types I use. In this case (if I remember correctly) it was a blend of 2mm and 4mm meadow grass. It came from a vendor called "macterials1" on ebay, mainly because they sell it in larger bags than most other vendors I looked at.

[@arnaudborne6904]

@@SteamGeezerUK thanks

[@mbkmmodels9406]

Outstanding a cracking job

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks :-)

[@capatainnemo]

i like that, nice and simple... however i would have made the grass flat in the middle so it looks like its being used as a runway

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Nice Hurricane mate! Great cause! 🍻👍

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks :-)

[@oceanvibesphotography8395]

Awesome

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!...Bill

[@SteamGeezerUK]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@vahidhosoda6614]

1:72 is closely oo scale

[@stallebrass]

Whats the little disc that you mounted the charging module, switch and LED to? I can't seem to find them?

[@SteamGeezerUK]

It's a 30mm wargaming base. You can find them on ebay and the like.

[@stallebrass]

SteamGeezer and Son Independent Traders Oh yeah, I think you said in another video. I remember now. Cheers.

[@trainsontuesday]

Very good job on this project. I think the grass could have been flattened behind the prop wash but that is minor. Altogether a great build for a great cause. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the build. As I'm in Canada I won't bid on it , the logistics of getting it here would be too much. I wish you well with the auction and hope you raise a good sum of money for the charity. .....David.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
