February 2017 Channel Update

Channel update after a very long hiatus, in this channel update I talk about where I am with some of my builds, also talk about my collaboration with Mitko from DN models and the Kitmaker Network.
More to come very soon!

[@reelmesh]

Back from the wasteland! Here's my channel update with some news that might be of interest and the usual bit of babbling! HUuuuuummmm, feels good to be back! :)

[@MDCampbell]

Hi Carlos Mendes! Thank you for visiting my channel, as it led me to yours! Really enjoying the work you've done, both with modeling and video. Really looking forward to seeing more and being connected! Cheers! :)

[@claytonmcclain182]

glad to see you back. about time. looking forward to any or all your projects

[@reelmesh]

Thank you Clayton, and thank you for asking for me! It's shaping up to be a good year, let's see how well that holds... :)

[@longlance67]

very nice to see some of your work mate, its a joy to behold !

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, my friend! I can say exactly the same thing! :)

[@longlance67]

haha thanks mate :)

[@garyknowles2002]

There You are. I'm a big fun of your work Carlos. It's been a great influence to my progression as a modeller and I very much look forward to seeing what you've been up to at the bench. Thanks for taking the time brother.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, Gary! Nice to see you too. Please consider starting putting your work out there my friend, that helps a lot in building up our skills nad progressing with the hobby that we love. :)

[@terrymcdade2205]

Welcome back. Every time I'd go to youtube I would look for any new videos from you. Turned it on tonight and got my wish. I understand about life getting in the way. I went through that for the last couple of years and finally everything has calmed down. Looking forward to seeing all the videos you'll post.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, Terry! Nice to see you still around and I hope everyone has been treating you with the respect you deserve. More of those videos soon, hopefully, you will enjoy them as well.

[@MrGameengineer]

Love your weathering especially on your StuG. All the models you showed are good but am really like the look of the StuG vehicle.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you! I really like it too, at this point I'd probably do a few things differently especially after what I've learned in my last build, but I'm pretty happy with the StuG. :)

[@russellgosselin3325]

Nice to see your face. Glad you are well and are still building models. I must commend you on staying on task with the old group build entries. I am right there with you, as I have a bunch that are a few years old now. Nice update and happy modelling!

[@reelmesh]

+Russell Gosselin thank you my friend, I am very stubborn and I also like the subjects. Don't quit on them, stay strong! :)

[@ITOWords]

That has to be one of the best paint and weathering jobs I've seen done on a MkIV. Bravo Carlos

[@reelmesh]

Thank you! :)

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

That Mk.IV is superb Carlos. I haven't been building anything myself for some 2 years and when I came back to the hobby I was hunting around for the guys, like yourself, who I used to watch avidly. So, it's great to see that you have been busy and that we will be treated to some very fine work that you have done soon. Al

[@reelmesh]

Thanks, Al! I hope you get back into it and let the passion flow through! :)

[@HarryHoudiniModels]

Hi Carlos.. great to see the WWI Tank in video at last and I look forward to upcoming videos on your weathering techniques.. you also reminded me about my Char 2C which was started then boxed and forgotten about... must get back to it this year.

[@reelmesh]

Hey Harry, more on that Mark IV soon. Don't tell me about that Char 2C, It was my biggest failure of last year, completely screwed that one up, I'm looking for new decals of the same version so that I can strip the paint and restart the whole model. Hope to see you back at it soon! :)

[@schweinhund227]

nice update Carlos. looking forward to your next series of videos

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, my friend! It's going to be a while, it's a whopping 1,23TB of video data to go through. :)

[@schweinhund227]

Carlos Mendes wow.... should be well worth the wait then....

[@reelmesh]

I hope so brother, I hope so...

[@SuperSwitched]

Great updt and beautiful work :) Glad to see you alive and kicking :):)

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, Richard! Slow but sure, that should be my motto! :)

[@Panzermeister36]

Awesome to hear from you! Sounds like some cool stuff you've been up to and some great videos coming soon :) I look forward to whatever you upload, your work is incredible and always in super high quality videos!

[@reelmesh]

Thanks for the kind words Evan! When time permits I do get a lot of fun stuff done, let's see how I deal with the mountain of video files I have for editing. So far I'm very happy with it all! :)

[@sharpiesfishandphantoms]

yay! good to see you back Carlos and to know it was just life getting in the way, looking forwards to seeing more tutorials, I've learnt a lot from watching your previous ones, take care buddy.

[@reelmesh]

Thanks, friend! Yes indeed it was, tutorials are being produced, quite a few actually so hopefully, they'll be useful. :)

[@sharpiesfishandphantoms]

sure they will, especially to an inept and clumsy oaf like myself!

[@jandersuf1]

Great to see you back! Your videos along with a couple others drove me to return to the hobby a year ago, and I've really enjoyed getting back into it. So thanks!

[@reelmesh]

No, thank you! It is a pleasure and an honor to have been part of what brought you back to this wonderful world of modeling! :)

[@328Watcher]

Its good to see you back and to know that no ill had befallen you. Looking forward to some more of your excellent material.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you! No, just the usual "ills" of life, lack of time and the rat race to survive daily. :)

[@GinMiko]

I really like your attitude AND your aptitude. Thanks to Mitka for pointing to your channel... Subscribed.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, Ralph! I thank you for your subscription and hope you enjoy it here. :)

[@gerobinson812]

Great update, the Mark IV looks like hell (which is a good thing). Loved the Tiger and the Stug. Thanks for sharing

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, Gary! I really do like to beat my models up a lot. ;)

[@ArmourEmpire]

great to see an update Carlos. very much looking forward to seeing future projects and huge kudos for the mk4 mate

[@reelmesh]

Thanks, mate I'm glad you like it, stay tuned for more soon. :)

[@shamirbrouwer6211]

Carlos! I can only say that I am glad to see you are back and that I can't wait for what's coming up next! Welcome back mate :D

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, Shamir! Glad to be back mate! :)

[@lordfarnswaller]

beautiful builds as always. Nice to see you back

[@reelmesh]

Thanks, Paul! Nice to see you to mate! :)

[@Mymodellingworld]

Hi Carlos nigel wells here it's great to see you mate it really is. Loving the tiger mate looks stunning looking forward to see some paint on her mate. Stay safe and see you on your next video

[@reelmesh]

Hi, Nigel, nice to see you too my friend! I'm glad you approve of the Tiger, apologies for having taken so much time to get this far with the build but hopefully, it'll be worth while in the end. :)

[@HinterlandCustoms]

Always enjoy your work and take on things Carlos, great update Sir! Love the WWI Rhomboid work, I just finished a Mk. I and really enjoyed the build and history. I'd never unsub you Sir, like you said life happens, nobody should expect a consistency of vids for hobbyists, and that is why..it's a hobby!

[@reelmesh]

Well yes, but I nonetheless feel quite grateful for the fact people don't leave when I'm not producing any content. Thank you for your kind words. I apologize for taking so much time to reply, somehow YT decided to hold your comment for review... Oh well, I'll have to be more attentive to my comment section next time.

[@HinterlandCustoms]

Carlos Mendes No worries, mine does that as well with people that comment regularly. I assure you I'm harmless 😄

[@reelmesh]

Hinterland Customs Of course, I just don't get why they have it set so randomly. At any rate, I'll check up on that every once in a while to see if someone was left behind. :)

[@vonketteringham]

a welcomed return Carlos ☺

[@reelmesh]

Indeed my friend! Thank you! :)

[@Duececoupe]

Great to see you again buddy....! Looking forward to see more of your videos and builds! 👍👌👏🙌

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, my friend! Stay tuned for more developments soon! :)

[@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling]

wow you are a busy man indeed, but it suits you. you look good my friend! very excited about the mk4 in particular.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, my friend! Let's hope I don't disappoint in the end bud! :)

[@outerrimindustries6470]

There are times when life gets in the way of our downtime and losing mojo for a project is par for the course. particularly if it's a project that drags on or we have problems with. The mark 4 looks great, love the weathering. Looking forward to future updates.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you very much, I absolutely agree and this was exactly the case with this Mark IV. :)

[@jsidaho1957]

Outstanding work and welcome back !

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, JS! :)

[@SergioSolo]

[@mercantetavares]

Finalmente de volta! Seja bem vindo. Um abraço de um seguidor/fã do Brasil.

[@reelmesh]

Obrigado Fernando! Um abraço e muito plástico na bancada! ;)

[@DeerHunter308]

Yup, every time I went through my channels I subscribed to and culled out some of them, I said to myself, "He'll be back". Good to see you.

[@reelmesh]

Thank you, Martin! As it is, I can't help sometimes having to take some down time, but I doubt I'll stop modeling for other than health reasons. ;)

[@freezatron]

GRANDE CARLOS!! nice to see you're still around bud :)

[@reelmesh]

Heheheh! Thanks, Paul! Nice to see you around as well. Hope you are still modeling and maybe even producing those awesome scratch builds. :)

[@non-prolific135thscalemode7]

Good to see you back again, Carlos! Life always gets in the way somehow, but most modelers come back and that's the best thing about it. :)

[@reelmesh]

I agree with that Jens and thank you for stopping by. I think that however one goes about it as long as we contribute it's always a good thing to post up a video even after a long absence. :)

[@MojoDevirus]

Thanks, bud. I probably forgot amidst all the rest, I did that months ago. :)
