Building Minart Dingo. From Start to Finish.

[@johnnyblythe5375]

Hey man, I love watching your vids. You give simple, no-nonsense, but honest commentary. No of this “I don’t use this product cos it’s rubbish” excuse, you just say what you’re using and how. And your builds come out real smart!

[@qdc748a]

Thanks. Some people post videos to show off and some just wants to contribute to the model kit community. I've been posting for over 10 years just trying to promote this hobby. I can still remember there were hardy any videos on KZbin about this subject. Now there are so many with underlying agendas. I'm glad you like watching my video. Take care 😃

Very nice work👍✌️ Great video too👍👍 Dingos were so small but very effective vehicles - even the Germans liked them. My father drove them during his time in The 7th Queen's Own Hussars (latterly The Queen's Own Hussars). The real things became very collectable as they were decomissioned, as they were easy to own and store.

[@qdc748a]

Thanks for watching my video. I heard about these vehicles being owned by private individuals. They must be expensive to purchase.

[@musoseven8218]

@@qdc748a Hi, they weren't too expensive to start with, but like Jeeps they've shot up in price as they're easy to store in a smaller space/garage. Not sure of their current price/value as I'm not as involved in that world these days ✌️👍🤔

Great work! That looks like a really nice little kit. I bought some Miniart British desert crew figures separately and I was quite impressed with them. The base tied it all together nicely, and I love how the Dingo fits down onto the base... makes it very believable.

Great model, love this vehicle as the Germans and Italians did too, in ww2. This was a great video. Your techniques in showing very clearly how it goes together in a warm friendly atmosphere that you generate with your voice in a slow, methodical and unpressured way. The music choice matches this subject perfectly as well. Please always add period music to your video subjects that sets it in its historical context giving more life to your dioramas, as well as historical context too. as you did so well here, and loved it even more !!!

Correct me if im wrong, this is the first time you made a model from miniart, one of the most detailed kits ever combine that with your modelling skills, the finished model looks neat and detailed. I recommend you to build the T-54-1 from miniart in 1/35 scale next if you can, its a bit challenging kit to build but the results looks nice.

Wonderful looking Dingo build :) MiniArt makes such impressively detailed models in 1:35. It might be interesting to see an in depth video on e.g. a T-55 or SU-122, as they appear insanely detailed to me. I am taking a break from building a Polish version T-55, since it’s a wonderful art-like product, but man(!) does every step have a lot of more tiny details. Doesn’t MiniArt wear you people out?

[@qdc748a]

I haven't built many Miniart kits but the ones I have are super detailed. I hard their T-55 tank is their best but it's extremely tedious. I wish you good luck on building the Polish version T-55 tank. Take care 😊

Sorry if I took it out on you dear Collins. I believe the dingo Miniart is a model for experienced modelers like you not for intermediates. Miniart plastics are weak and difficult to assemble. Miniart makes beautiful subjects different from the others. There is no doubt about this. Hello

Your Dingo Miniart Collins is beautiful. I bought this model twice, that is, two models of the same Miniart dingo, threw them in the trash and couldn't castrate them. The problem was the suspensions that had to move that did not stay attached without the glue that I porovato nine times to attach them then I let them go impossible what do you recommend?

The suspension is delicate. I tried traditional plastic cement and it didn't hold together well. I tried superglue instead and found it worked well. If you use superglue, it may help you as well. Give it a try. 😊

Do Pros like you consider Revell to be bad or something, just wondering? Seldom see you building Revell kits. I personally love Revell since decades.

[@qdc748a]

I like building the American Revell kits when I first re-entered into the hobby about ten years ago. Many of the older Revell kits I built as an adult were kits I never built when I was a kid. It was fun. Unfortunately, American Revell didn't produce any new kits that sparked my interests. However, Revell of Germany makes newer kits that are good and interesting to me. I don't remember building a Revell of Germany kits. I should. Anyway, I hope this answers your question. Take care. 😊

[@marxkar]

@@qdc748a I see, Yes Revell is an old German model kit Company. They were founded in 1943! I am from Spain and I can say that we got specialized shops here (it applies to all of the EU, I am sure) that are very large and offer everything (among others) that Revell produces. I didn't know that Revell USA doesn't have the same offers like here but ordering online is always a solution (if the delivery costs are not horrendous, as they often are from EU to USA and vice versa :-/. I give you an idea for a model you can build one day for your channel: "The Spanish Galleon" from Revell, Scale: 1:96. Google it. It is beautiful model, over 72cm long and almost 64cm high! It's challenging enough for Pros too, I guess (I am amateur and it wasn't easy for me, took many hours to finish it) Perhaps you can get the kit one day, they are not so easy to find but also not super rare. Ebay is a good place to find one or mail me, I can send it to you from Spain.

Nice kit... but the car itself seems so small. Seems really cramped, and who could fit through that little door?

[@qdc748a]

Yes, this is a small car! That little door was intended to be an emergency exit. Normally, you would climb in and out of the Dingo but in case of enemy fire, you would use the emergency door or obvious reasons. Thanks for watching my video. 😊

Dear Collins, is the Dingo from Miniart for intermediate and expert modelers or just experts? I would like to understand are Miniart models for experienced modelers in general? I would like your opinion. Thanks

[@qdc748a]

I didn't build a lot of Miniart Models so I can't answer that question but the kits I have built from them are delicate and require some experience to build. If you are a beginner, I would not recommend this kit. Maybe someone else who reads this post can better answer this question.
