[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Big thank you to Daniel Barker from Scotland for the super chat , I really appreciate the kind gesture, I'm sorry I didn't see it in the messages.Thanks for watching

[@hooniganman3755]

Andy's Hobby Headquarters could maybe do a model build with Only normaal brushes No airbrush

[@Panzermeister36]

Great idea for a video series. I also love that shirt, cool stuff! I'm glad to see your channel doing so well, and most of all glad to see you always being so positive and having fun making awesome videos!

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@thomaseaston2466]

Hi Andy great channel keep good work Tommy From Scotland

[@rockmarcone641]

Both of you do a great job! Love your stuff too Panzer!

[@totty100]

Great videos. Love your upbeat attitude. Don't take any notice of the negative trolls and keep on doing what you're doing. I'm returning to model making for the first time since the 70s and find your vids are the best. Very informative. Hope you don't get too cooked in thr Arizona heat. Regards, Steve from England

[@orbitalair2103]

Hi from Huntsville, AL, I remember building plastic models as a kid 30 years ago, I learned from trial and error. Keep the Saturday Q&A going, this is good.

[@billmoore4230]

Had a great time!!!! Funny about the Gumball Machine!!! You call me out.. And now I'm famous!! Anyway. Andy "Thanks" for all you do for all of us. I'm a big fan. As well as a new Andy's T Shirt owner!!!

[@Muzzlepaint]

Sorry I missed the live cast... but enjoyed the archive

[@matthall143]

Hi Andy,.....Greetings from Oxford UK. I try to never miss your vids and have been following you from the early days. I always love the enthusiasm you have for the hobby which I came back to after a long gap. You come across and a warm and knowledgeable and you are a great credit to the modelling community - all power to you!!! Thanks

[@KitchenTableModeller]

Andy, just watched the recording of your live stream and wanted to say "Well Done Sir", I always watch your builds and really like your positive attitude to the hobby. Keep you the fantastic builds and all the great work your doing for the community.

[@GinMiko]

Thank you, Andy... The more I watch you, the more I respect you. And to those complaining about some of today's models, try building some from the early 50's (that's when I started).

[@davetilden68]

Andy... you rock!!! Thanks for being yourself. You have gotten me back into my childhood. For that, I can't thank you enough.

[@theblytonian3906]

ROFL "mediocre modeller" ...superb retort by way of self-deprecating 'got the t-shirt' humour Andy. Well played. Been a viewer of yours since you started. If ever there was a plastics modeller who could "walk with Kings - yet not lose the common touch" (to paraphrase Kipling), it's you. Love your enthusiasm, admire your communication skills and the immense editing effort and thought you put into sharing it all with us on your channel. A very well deserved two thumbs up!

[@jeremytan680]

Big double thumbs up to you, Andy! Always positive and honest, no pretensions. Keep happy and keep modeling!

[@patrickroos739]

Great chat and live vid Andy! Just keep spreading the positive vibes about our fantastic hobby! We need more guys like you, Phil Flory and others. You are super important for the hobby since You de-mystifies what can seem as a djungle if your a new or maybe re-starting. With todays kits, tools, aux products, tutorials etc the bar of what people can achieve has been raised a lot. I think this also can be a bit deterring for people that are thinking of starting. Guys like You are defusing that and its so important that we always help each other to remember WHY we do this...because its FUN!! And we all set our own individual limits and goals. Lets respect that and each other. Thanks and keep up the great work!!

[@sheldonsmodels6543]

Hi Andy, greetings from South Africa..Love your channel and builds. The hobby should be fun. Keep up the good work.

[@BunnyUK]

Hi Andy, this style of livestream video is really cool and I support you doing a weekly version. As for the thumbs-downers who do that before they've even watched the video, we know who they are - they are the other model video channel owners who are envious of your phenomenal success! You have hundreds of thumbs ups, so forget those weirdos!

[@stevejones9044]

Your modeling and presentation skills are why you have as many subscribers as you do. Nothing mediocre there. Keep it going Andy, we love watching and learning!

[@jeremyhughes5323]

Hi Andy great live hobby talk. As a modeller in New Zealand it great to have you showing your great skills to help model. Keep up the great season Jeremy

[@larryscarafile7309]

Great show, Being stuck in the house( not due to stroke). I'm not able to get out often. Like the build videos and this new shows gives me a chance to hear in real time what's going on in the hobby world.

[@bryanlovejoy4662]

Great video love the to watch the video's from Andy's hobby headquarters.

[@56Gumball]

Hi from England, Andy , you've been a great inspiration to an old timer who's into AFVs so keep up the great work, it's very much appreciated!

[@DansModelBench]

Greetings from Australia Andy. Love the T-shirt and your channel. Always fun to watch and I've bought a few kits after seeing your build of them. Dan

[@KP-mi4uv]

Really enjoyed your! Great attitude and enthusiasm!! Thanks

[@voodoonights1671]

These are really good and a nice departure from the build videos.

[@cfbush2000]

I just watched your video. Great job. I'll be watching. Happy modelling.

[@glencallan4121]

Love your videos and enthusiasm Andy, keep up the great work.

[@JONNYDISASTER13]

THANX AGAIN FOR DOING THIS ANDY. REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE! AND THANX AGAIN FOR WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT KEEPING IT POSITIVE! THE MODEL COMMUNITY REALLY IS SMALL, AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE YOU HAVE ON YOUR CHANNEL IS GREAT. BRAVO FOR BRINGING US ALL TOGETHER!

[@lesthiele4921]

Just watched this again for the second time, I really enjoy your total enthusiasm for the show and the hobby, as for the 'thimb downers' they are just sad they aren't in your position and they don't have your enthusiasm, keep going STRONG Andy.

[@KentsPaintShack]

Really nice video, I contemplating doing live videos so seeing how you've done it is really helpful love whiting you build the models

[@omgwtf1987]

Can definitely see you. Love the channel, learned so much from watching this channel! Keep up the awesome work!

[@almaquera2126]

Love your show, you encouraged me to return to modeling.

[@scotthumphreys1789]

Your point about modelling being fun is spot on. Mine are not up to yours or many others standards, but I enjoy it! Isn't that the point of a hobby?

[@newsoft75]

Love the shirt! Really tongue in cheek. It's great to see you develop your skills in your videos. Keep it up!

[@richardalley7887]

Rich from SC, how about guest builders with specific skills?

[@runnerrae73]

Andy, Just watched this, we missed it live but we highly enjoyed it. Your right this is a great hobby and I am enjoying passing it on to my son. He is 10 now and we have been building together for several years now. It is a blast to watch his skills grow and see him get better and better. We love your videos thanks for taking the time to put them together they are an inspiration to us and push us to do better. Keep up the great work!! Chad and Seth VanHook

[@darylsmith5343]

great show as always Andy, keep up the great modeling.

[@sf30c]

Love your videos Andy, greetings from Auckland New Zealand

[@KentsPaintShack]

You are not a mediocre modeller your dioramas are amazing

[@Simonize41]

Another big THUMBS UP from me Andy. I think it’s safe to say that we all really like the live-streaming. I/we hope you’ll continue with them. All the best. Simon, UK.

[@tammydear8057]

Glad to hear your off on Sundays.😇I hope you & your family are at church. God bless.

[@rickconnel532]

Your right this is supposed to be fun.Thats why I got back into modeling again.The fun and learning from you and others.Thanks for the video.

[@Skoogplay125]

Hey Andy keep these livestreams coming. It's really nice to hear your opinion on everything about modelling, but also the more personal details about you and your model shop. I completely agree with what you said about the need for more positivity in the hobby. I'm from Czech Republic and all the scale modelling forums are filled with grumpy old men who have all been modelling for 30 years and every time someone new shows up and asks about literally anything, or god forbid, posts one of his own models, he gets completely torn to shreds in the comments by these people. That's why I've never posted a single picture of one of my own models online and never intend to do so. The defence these guys use when you point out how hostile they are is that if they don't critique, then the modeller will not improve. But I feel like with this kind of critique the modeller will be just about ready to go seek help from a psychiatrist. Your positive approach is something really nice to see and hopefully people will take it to heart. Good luck on your future builds!

[@kpan500]

You're not a mediocre modeler, just basic and to the point. It was enough to get me to buy an airbrush and get to building models again. I use many of the methods you teach.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you

[@shimaichiban12]

Love your channel. So positive. Got me away from gundam kits and back to tanks. Working on that Academy M1a2 right now.

[@stefannilsson7297]

Hi from Sweden. Love your channel really got me in to modeling again 😃👍

[@ukiewolf]

love your Q&A live chats and the hell with the thumbs downers. you are my inspiration for model building. I am 70, retired and just getting my work area set up for airbrushing but first have to build models. my passion is TANKS but those models with 500+ pieces are brutal, especially those itsy-bitsy super tiny pieces. and when they fly off my tweezers and I can't find them, they don't get applied. you suggested Tamiya as more friendly and I have one on order just to try. right now working on a Revell larger plane for practice. Thanks for all your instructional vids. keep 'em coming. Cheers from Canada

[@michaelthompson8986]

Andy thanks for the clarification and tip for the tamiya dullcote that's the one I picked up great job keep up the great work. And congrats on 60k subscribers!

[@modeltankguy]

awesome andy sorry I missed these but got them now ill watch next time I'm off Saturday keep them coming

[@TheCld1981]

Been watching your channel for about a year. Got me back into models. Though my preference is planes I have used some of your technique with airbrushing.

[@ellispawson663]

Well Done Andy....and Cool T-Shirt.

[@alexscolavino1566]

Andy Alex here putting this comment in a little late but I'm so glad you touched on being friendly with other modelers I've had bad experiences going into stores and people not giving me good information telling me that I'm the model or figure it out I think that's so good that you're preaching that we share all of our thoughts and our ideas and all become better modelers

[@vallee1985]

Damn i missed the Q&A :( I don`t know if you will answer questions here. What do you thing about Dragon? A lot of Modelers (not me... i m still fairly new to the Hobby) try to sabotage Dragon. 10 or so years ago you used to get all that extra stuff: Metal Barrel, Magic Tracks etc and they were fairly cheap. Fast forward to today. They are really expensive and they cut almost any extra. What do you think about that ?? Me personally love Dragon. I love the detail that Models have and i m a big big fan of the Box Art (lucky me. Ron Volstad lives in Edmonton and is part of my local Hobby club) That last part is so so true. Specially when people say something along the lines: "But that was not real and you doing it wrong!!" I just shake my head. If i wanna paint my Model pink, that is my own decision and if i like it, that is the most important part.

[@BunnyUK]

I'd love to see a video showing how you break down and clean your Iwata HP-CS airbrush. There are very few, if any, decent videos showing this. A really good, step by step video for airbrushing noobs like me, would be very useful!!!

[@clintcarter9708]

Great show, you might be only a mediocre modeller Andy, me too :), but your knowledge base is second to none, looking forward to more.

[@charcoal59]

Hi Andy, love your videos.

[@naymyo7293]

Keep coming these vids Andy, enjoyed it.

[@Darckstar52]

Great live stream! Awesome shirt!

[@1144happy]

Great show!

[@alanglover6261]

love it thank great mecha color Vallejo

[@Luthlan]

We are so spoiled with the kits available to us at the moment. Shame about Hasegawa's prices now. I guess that's just the greedy importers though. £38 for a 1/72 F-15! (Hannants) Jeslus! Love the show!

[@invincible6197]

Andy, a good choice for aircraft wire would be 'rig that thing' wire by the company Uschi van Der rosten.

[@orbitalair2103]

Lots of kits yes, local stores - not so much. I live in a large city, but hobbytownusa just closed up, and the only store is far from me, far off the beaten path, and limited plastic models, its mostly RC cars and planes. Andy, until I found you and Plasmo, etc on youtube I thought plastic was dead.

[@typehere6689]

Thankfully, I live near several hobby shops.

[@richardtallent8175]

Hi, greetings from Amery, wi 54001. Congratulations on 60,000,(& growing) subscriber's, me being one.

[@galindoa1972]

Also, how about a tour of your store? I think I'm not the only one who would be interested in "seeing" your store.

[@Steevels]

Hi Andy I saw your suggestion on adding thinners to Tamiya paint pots, on the smaller pots there isn’t a line, I was going to guesstimate around where I thought it might be but I’m curious will that still work in those pots and how does this affect brush painting if I need to?

[@panzertracks]

I want to be part of the mediocre modelers club!!! Would probably specialize in 1/16 scale. Keep up the mediocre work Sir Andy.

[@warraupe9373]

Love your videos!

[@jameswilliams7181]

Hello you ole mediocre modeler!! You are an inspiration for me as I'm a 75 year young retired Navy Senior Chief that likes to build models out of the box. I have watched nearly every one of you builds and mediocre your not. Concur with your comments about negative remarks from other modellers. I have asked questions in the past on other web sites about building or finishing a model and actually received more negative feedback than positive. Keep up then mediocre builds as I follow your suggestions.

[@MrPettj]

Keep up the great work!

[@shakenburn]

Sorry I missed the live feed, but the archive will do, great videos by the way. Do you plan a build of the Trumpeter BTM-3 trench digger?

[@markparham3759]

Great video and channel. You should do the reissue Kattemkrad 1/9 scale

[@jamiesale9460]

any pointers on rigging old sips - from 1-200 and to 1-80? Where are the best rigging jigs and anything else you may have? thanks for the effort

[@Dantheman2584]

Bring this series back!

[@Luthlan]

The 1/32 Revell planes are great. In last 5 years ish Revell have been very busy with them.

[@ericjolly4519]

[@2805662]

Was great to visit, Andy. Thought you may be interested in the Abrams Trophy fit: imgur.com/gallery/0i8gG imgur.com/gallery/qjskc Thanks again for the chat! Greg

[@carminemaio429]

Hi Andy love you're new format but I still can't seem to ask a question for some reason it won't let me that besides you are doing a great job. And yes it's all about having fun & that's why we do it. Back to the video are you doing on KZbin or some place else? Please let me know all the best Carm from Cambridge England

[@troruaz]

ha! love that t-shirt! #MMC unite! it's the internet so haterz are kinda built-in, but way to find the silver-lining and make some cool shirts.

[@mikebreazeale2563]

You could get one of those small paint booths so you can use solvent paints. Don't have to go outside again.

[@Scorpiuszeroone]

I bought the Dragon M1SEP a few years ago and the DS tracks disintegrated after a couple of years. They just get brittle with time. I've had to replace them with the Bronco workable tracks.

[@mrcointheyoypoptk2315]

i all ways like your video dude

[@adam10051977]

Love it

[@paulcooke4069]

Would love to see you build one of the Stryker kits

[@michelecafagnacollection3659]

Hi from Italy !!!

[@segevgal]

Hi Andy, greeting from Israel. I love your channel keep up the great work. can you build a cockpit model? when i was younger there were full metal models. are the still any being made? if so, can you build one?

[@richardalley7887]

Also any tip videos on battle damage. WWII, even into Sci-fi.

[@AKScaleModel]

Andy's Hobby Headquarters Hi, Andy. Did you build one of Tamiya 1/35 RC Tank Russian T34/85?

[@hgbarnes1584]

Awesome!!!!!

[@madazza72]

Hi Andy can you show us the outside of your store please

[@shauncullen5669]

Hi from London! Andy, how a build of the Hobby boss 1/16 Tiger? It’s a reasonably cheap kit, but holds a lot of promise for beginners?

[@robroberson2638]

I am the king of Mediocre modelers love the T-shirt and will get one soon!

[@almaquera2126]

Is there any way to purchase models from your store online?

[@brianmcpherson5746]

how long have you had your model shop? it looks like its a great shop

[@thedonnyman1]

andy your a great moddler..

[@Brera011]

Hi Andy, love you show and builds. I wonder will you ever do a F1 (Tamiya 1/12)?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

if tamiya does a new one I would love to

[@totty100]

Hi Andy, I know this is not your thing (based on the videos you've uploaded) but would you consider showing a build of a Tamiya motorcycle kit please? I'm a big fan of these kits (I've have been riding for real for over 30 years) and would really appreciate your input on building these unique kits. Cheers

[@gabrielpalmieri2707]

hello from cordele ga

[@nicholas87770]

Would you build a battleship?tamiya 1 350 yamato?? Your work is great btw whenever I have doubts about a kit ie takom maus v2 I look to see if you have built it and you do a great job of showing what it looks like,keep up the great work!

[@galindoa1972]

Hey Andy, missed the live stream, but hopefully I'll catch it next time. I do have a question though, do you have in your shop a 1/48 OA-4M from Monogram, if so how much does it cost? I've been trying to find one but, being stationed overseas, it's fairly difficult to find one at a fair price.
