Fabrication 101 ... A Basic Scratchbuilding Technique

[@TaborPrzemyslaw]

Wow, the black paint reference line technique is incredible. Thanks!

[@josecarlosxyz]

somebody said me do not envy or hate better man than you are but learn with them. this is one example of such man, this is truly remarkable job

[@fpdiscopenguin]

Spraying the glued surfaces to retain the lines. That's forward thinking. Thanks for sharing that valuable tip

[@blaubarblaubar4436]

Who on earth added thumbs down? This is such a helpful video and an ingenious technique. I print all my stuff in 3d, but this manual work is amazing! I wish I could add 190 thumbs up.

[@monadamus42]

Great video, thank you. Your vibe is so calm and soothing.

[@cavdragoon]

"Quick and simple project" - hell I need an engineering degree just to do the drawings. LOL. Great video, amazing work and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@irreversiblyhuman]

Lol, that's what I said to myself.

[@ChefS.Keller]

I don’t do scale modeling but I love this channel

[@timroberts69]

I was wondering what the use of spraying the matching surfaces was for, then it all made sense when he had shaved off a lot of the material, and as if by magic, the centre reference lines were still there. I knew I recognised Paul Budzik's voice and amazing building skills. Awesome video Paul, I think I am going to have to invest in a band saw (my old one died a few years ago and I never replaced it).

[@phxJohn2010]

I had exactly the same thought. It's pretty genius. I'm definitely borrowing that technique for my toolbox.

[@andersdenkend]

Amazing tip indeed!

[@t.s.127]

you are one of the 5 best modelers on KZbin, realy

[@alaingadbois2276]

Good planning and execution! And great result!

[@aaronwolfe9640]

The "centerlines" technique is really helpful. Thank you for sharing!

[@emperortrajan3609]

This...was... awesome. Your explanations we're concise and easy. Thanks for the video!

[@OvantheWise]

That was incredibly satisfying to watch come to life. Thanks so much for the informative video. I have recently started learning to build things from scratch and I leaned a lot. Thanks.

[@jfelfouly]

Wow... This is amazing!

[@LeonGarnet]

Awesome technique, thanks for sharing it.

[@techristopher8077]

Thank you very much, you have helped me refine my approach to building my own model.

[@ryanmorris2479]

A great tutorial. I love the black reference line idea!

[@krzysztofmathews738]

Excellent tutorial and demonstration. Very clear and concise.

[@bots2beasts]

Liked and subscribed. I build models myself. It's nice to see technique and terminoligy clearly defined in a well made video.

[@bryanjarboe8920]

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for some old school expertise to create a model for a few experimental planes that I’d love to make as the only models I can find online are $300+

[@ddreamberry2]

Very helpful! Thank you.

[@justindunlap1235]

Dang that is gorgeous, great job.

[@alitlweird]

always wondered how models are made from scratch. pretty serious stuff!! Gotta be an engineer and a machinist.

[@vulturedroid9804]

Fantastic info

[@TheVefIt]

As always, another state of the art tutorial!

[@_yellow]

5:28 Boy that's smooth, nice work

[@j.stribling2565]

Eye-opening. I had no idea (but now I do!) Thanks.

[@farkinarkin5099]

I didn't even see that this was Paul Budzik. Wow. I just got a lesson from a master. :-)

[@fpreston9527]

Flat sanding block, straight lines and working to edges is also used in automotive body shops to rebuild body panels back to original shape, using body filler .

[@MODELMIND72]

Subscribed, Amazing skills!

[@scale-model-workshop]

Thank you!

[@Nashorn95]

Amazing.

[@cg462]

Thank you, I really enjoy your instructional videos. Do you have a video on making louvered vents, for me making a row of them looks very daunting, not sure where to even begin

[@kevinkenny8739]

Brilliant, thanks.

[@emilflognoid1532]

That was really awesome

[@universodamoto]

Simple and amazing job!

[@EasyTiger700]

Very helpful.👍

[@FABIUSMAXIMUZ]

an extraordinary job, as always ...

[@smallscenesh0]

Great!!!👍😉👍

[@WhiskyLima]

Genius! Nice work!!

[@scale_model_apprentice]

Wow, what is the purpose of cutting the block into 4 pieces just to glue it together? Does it affect structural integrity in any way?

[@Name-ps9fx]

By painting the glued surfaces he will always have a centerline reference, even if he were to cut and sand all sides. It's ingenious, I have always just drawn a line on the outside and had to find the center again afterwards (which wasn't always the same exact center I started with). As far as structural integrity.... it's not a flying model, so wood glue is adequate. Even if it were an RC plane, wood glue would still work.

[@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si]

I want to build a Hawker Typhoon from scratch. I am handy with tools but have never built a scratch model. Any advice on materials for beginners? Though, as I think about the front section of the fuselage of the Typhoon, I wonder if I should start with something else.

[@da-madmodler4692]

I enjoy scratch building as well the complex curves and shapes are tuff, I’ll be resorting to wood also.

[@darthbuzz1]

I notice you don't reply to and probably don't read the comments. Just curious, you said you were going to use a Monogram kit but showed a picture of a Revell model. 2 completely different ends of the 'quality model' manufacturer list. (Revell are awful on my opinion.)

[@michaelbaykara2322]

true master

[@ScratchbuildByTWA]

Thanks for sharing

[@t.s.127]

its magic 👌👍

[@iryairya2008]

If this is basic, then what would the advanced look like? Building the whole plane from scratch?

[@scale-model-workshop]

Yes ... building the entire model would be much more involved, but much of the basic shapes are crafted from the same set of reference lines shown here; which is why this video was actually an intro to the Neptune series ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKW3ZqmPgduYh7M. Here are some completed scratch built aircraft with some progress images that might give you an idea of some other techniques that would take it to what I consider a more advanced category ... Tempest - paulbudzik.com/models/tempest-page.html ..... Boeing 314 - paulbudzik.com/models/clipper.pdf ..... PBY - paulbudzik.com/models/pby.pdf.

[@emilbt7588]

I would need alot prayers if i were to try and pull this pff

[@loud7715]

This is basic scratchbuilding? Hang on...where did I leave my bandsaw? :-\

[@SW-zu7ve]

If its sooooo difficult to save 130 bucks for a table top band saw, you can use just about any hand saw for the cuts he made. Coping saws are cheap. You can also grab a piece of wood and look up how to make a sanding block. Actually seen people make them out of mouse traps. Mouse traps are cheap, sand paper is cheap. Get to shaping.

[@MrSomethingdark]

You and Greg's Automobiles and Airplanes need to merge, like rn, for my own sanity and for the sake of world peace!

[@nokiot9]

☹️I don’t even have a garage

[@ОсликИа-я2ы]

Yeah... "basic"
