Dear Andy I've recently returned to this wonderful hobby after 25 years. Now in my forties I have a lot more patience and I want to finish my models as well as possible. Your channel is by far the best thing I've discovered. Your videos make the techniques so easy to understand and your video quality is top-notch. I can't wait to build my own Jagdtiger. Keep up the awesome work!

[@siy1580]

How's the moddeling going so far in these past few years?

[@charlesmaschi3238]

Thanks. Really nice build. "Waltz of the Flowers", nice touch.

[@andraslibal]

You're the reason I tried hobby modeling :)

[@reetthen]

Subbed. Perfect teaching and preview of possible kit buys. Invaluable.

[@robertcameron9504]

Really great looking kit and as always with Tamiya the kits just fall into place Love the weathering effects

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding video, build and presentation to wathach again after a few years. Thank you Andy!

[@donfrandsen7778]

Looking back Andy....I love your OOTB reviews and builds....really brought the fun back into the hobby Andy. Prayers for Arizona and the rest of the country to come to its senses. And reopen God's Speed Andy Amen!!!! Rooting for you!!!!

[@ianbrockie3909]

Hi Andy, would just to say how much I enjoy your videos . I have acquired so many hints and tips from your videos, thanks ( Ian from the 🇬🇧 ) 👍

[@ImaginaShip]

I never knew Nutcracker music could make such an amazing soundtrack for building tanks! I actually found myself humming The Blue Danube while working on a chieftain yesterday. Keep up the videos! I've been inspired to finally dig into a mass of kits that I've accumulated over the years but haven't made the time to build till now. Got addicted to Gundams.

[@DieselxRobot]

I have this kit on my desk right now! I just finished painting the camo and I'm currently working on painting the details like tools and cables. A really nice kit to work with.

[@RickJZ1973]

Andy, Great job! I enjoy seeing your builds.

[@JBonzalot18]

Nice Job Andy. This is so different than the Tamiya Jadgtiger in the 70's I built. Much more detail.

[@JosephLee800]

Just bought this Kit from Tamiya, quite excited to get working on it. not going to be quite like yours but practice makes perfect. thanks for the great help andy, Love your videos.. keep up the GREAT work!!!!

[@Error-5478]

why are these videos so interesting? like I've watched idk how many today. I've tried my hand at this with a ford mustang. and failed miserably. but I enjoy watching this.

[@JaviBee]

Love your vids Andy! Keep doing what you love, and it will be fun to see your channel grow throughout the model making community!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you I do love it

[@hawaiiancane1]

[@PowerstrokeDiesel73]

Great Video. Glad to see the Jagdtiger, I've got one coming and always nice to have a look before building.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@euanbanner498]

Very informative and clear.Thanks Andy.

[@claytonmcclain182]

really great build Andy. got to love Tamiya there just the best engineered kits out there.

[@redsampler2017]

seems to me those are dragon sprue,s. its exactly the same, its not the first and not the last time modelmakers use the same sort of moulds with different color plastic. maybe they use some of their own ideas, but thats it. cyberhobby and takom do exactly the same both use the old dragon moulds. torro and hobbyboss 1/16 tiger , same mold different color plastic. i don,t have a problem with it, good is good, but credit must be credited to the right maker. and since you can,t have all the models from all the makers you can compare them simply, and thats where the money is made. mouldmaking and mouldusing is very much like making a song and covering a song. you can change it up a bit, you can even improve on it, but its still not your song.

[@redsampler2017]

if you think so, i build a jagdtiger from dragon and it has the same sprue form. everybody has their own favorite modelmaker, me don,t care about that stuff i know from my local hobbystore manager that its very common to buy each others molds, change them up a bit and then pass it on as your own. and even if they don,t i still don,t care, i like them anyways. quality of trumpeteer, dragon, tamiya ,meng is outstanding , not many others are that good.

[@benhowitt4627]

*they're

[@alerossi8564]

Yes some brands use the same stamp/sprue but I think Tamiya use theyr own made sprue. When they rebox few italeri models the sprues come from italy

[@Z0m6iexG4m1ng1]

I love how often you build new kits, you must be a fast builder!

[@rickmoreno6858]

Andy says he knocks models out in A WEEK!!!! tgat is crazy

[@timothyrothenberger1202]

Hello Andy,Excellent job on the Jagdtiger, just might buy one myself.

[@Spoif]

Great work. Nice camouflage job. Big Modeller does some great "wearing" work with a black oil wash.

[@josesaade5763]

Amazing Andy great tank model!

[@genericdenizen1]

Happy New Year 2020. Thank you Andy. Looking forward to visiting your store in Glendale, Arizona again soon to purchase two more kits (armor, of course!), and more paint.

[@JosephLee800]

nice job Andy, looks great!! your painting job is fantastic

[@hackmayhem]

Good timing on this video Andy. I've just finished putting the dark yellow coat over the shadow coat on my Tamiya Jagdtiger so it's nice to see your paint scheme and weathering. Definitely going to steal your polish and rain effects as I've not tried those before. Great kit and another great video. Chris

[@petemiller519]

Good video Andy. It's been about 50 years since I built my last model. I think I'll get back into it,..... really enjoyed how you painted the tank. Cheers from Canada.

[@wbradburn8871]

Looks like a nice update of the kit from the late 1960's/early 1970's.

[@paulyork8604]

I had that kit it was brilliant to make no problems at all

Wish their was more stores like this where I live, I do have a tamiya store, I'll have to check it out. I love this!

[@duckhunt1058]

I like the addition you have done on the rust with the pigment. I will have to try that or add to other models I have. I have done a rust effect with rust colors and then adding chipping fluid and then a color I want to use. then chip away gives it some depth and color as well.

[@Galacalactus]

Love your work!

Great job as usual!

[@howardfortyfive9676]

Great music at 1:58. When I was in 5th grade my class took a field trip to listen to music like this and all the classics. 1812 Overture Flight of The Valkyrie Flight of the Bumblebee etc. To this day I enjoy what my folks once called longhair music. Barely a year or 2 later *the longhairs brought to America the Beatles Rolling Stones Buffalo Springfield and all the others.*

[@filipzietek5146]

Great build! Do the tamiya Somua s35 please

[@lazaglider]

This one is a joy to build, it just shows what Tamiya is capable of these days.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

yes it is

[@lazaglider]

Andy's Hobby Headquarters I just wish they would retool some of their older kits, which leave a bit to be desired. I think they'd blow Dragon and their $100 kits out of the water.

[@plasticarmour4070]

Great video andy, built this kit myself and i love it. Keep it up. 👍🏻

[@michaeltruhett4170]

I've learned a lot from your videos, the only part I haven't figured out is how your decals don't silver over the flat finish. I always have to gloss coat my kits before decals, then another coat of gloss for weathering, then a coat of dull after it's all dry. But no matter how you do it, you're a bad ass modeler, no doubt about it.

very cool video again mate

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

[@rustynail246]

In the early days of Tamiya, their kits were not as detail, but more detail than most. I purchased this kit in 1971 and it wasn't quite like this. As years gone by, I just simply don't have the time to build models, but it's nice to watch you to build it though. PS, I think Tamiya started selling model in 1969.

[@gordonmurray5962]

Wow, I spent a lot of time building military models when I was young. Very familiar with Tamiya as well. Kids these days don't build models it seems, but when you look at the price of them, its no wonder. Quality model kits have become very expensive.

[@sekytwo]

great build brother!!

Thank you

[@seanh4854]

Another great video Andy! Do you glue down the pioneer tools with Tamiya cement or super glue after painting ?

[@Melthornal]

The trick to working with small parts is to cover an area of your bench with tape facing up. I use gaffers tape. This way if you drop a piece instead of it bouncing it gets stuck on the tape.

[@Dragonblaster1]

I tend to use regular Tamiya cement on really teeny-tiny parts because it is more viscous and holds the part in place while the cement dries. Just a tiny dot is all that is needed.
