As someone who is about to get into this hobby, thank you for this , it has helped with understanding the work flow to follow and also the tools and techniques you used. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@joshuabrumley2169]

The biggest tip those of us who have already been doing this tip can give us be patient and enjoy the process. If you mess up just look for a work around. And remember the old saying slow is smooth and smooth is fast. The slower you go the less likely to make a mistake. But they are bound to happen eventually.

[@chermically1584]

for non japanese people, just can snap a picture of the word and you can google translate. I might not be correct but you'll get the idea.

[@edwardhood6252]

Absolutely stunning build! And for those of you new to the hobby, yes you can create builds of this quality. It just takes a little time and practice. Don't get discouraged if your first build doesn't come out looking like this. Just keep building, and you'll get to this point!

[@JHHobby]

Thank you very much!

[@ds-convay03]

*I:* interested in model making, I want to try to assemble my first model, but I don't know all the details and where to start. *JH-Hobby:* Here's a video for you that tells you everything. 💜

[@hhaste]

Do it, they're so much fun. Just don't worry about mistakes, you'll learn as you go and not make them on future models. Start with ones you don't care about messing up, just to learn. Remember, it's just plastic & it's all for fun and you won't get discouraged. That's the main thing I've learned after starting model cars.

[@ds-convay03]

@@hhaste I prefer motorcycles, but I think it's better to start with something simpler, some kind of minivan with few parts =) I often read that planes or tanks are good for beginners, but that's not my thing.

[@JHHobby]

Go for it! And enjoy the build😁

[@alexkishkovich7806]

Watching you is like meditating... Thank you.

[@gruvin4602]

Great work....1 thing as a new builder I do not recommend cutting all parts off the tree Inless u no what and were every part gos I like to hand paint smaller parts on tje tree then touch the spots up many different ways to build a model most important is have fun doing it

[@JHHobby]

Yes you can definitely do that too😁

[@treds75]

Mesmerising from start to finish. What a beautiful result

[@JHHobby]

Thank you!🤗

[@oldhick9047]

Perfect ? I have been trying to build the "Perfect" model car for 60 years, congratulations !

[@jakerubino3233]

Been watching your channel since the early days. Every build is of the same phenomenal standard and that might be the only reason I haven’t gotten back into making models. Built military aircraft fanatically as a kid and teen in the 80’s and early 90’s then it was all Warhammer 40k. Been over a decade not building anything. Not being able to find my current real world car in a 1:18 model kit would be the other factor 😂

[@snoify]

Some people seem to add the water adhesive before the polishing process to make the adhesive look like it’s ingrained with the car. How is this achieved?

[@MikeDustman]

You make my modeling skills look like I'm in kindergarten finger painting and eating the glue 😂

[@VermontV8]

Thank you for this guide. I've been watching many builds for some time and this video is going to help me finally build my own first model

[@JHHobby]

Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad i can help🤗

[@zacateck]

You my friend are next level. I inspire to be half as good. You’ve given me new tools and I thank you.

[@paveljuchevic]

I was watching many similar tutorials, but this is the best by far. Everything explained, all small details. Many guys does nice tutorials, but forget to explain 80% of small things. Thanks man ❤

[@manisteerocks7092]

just found your channel. I subscribed right away. I'm an old school modeler. I have not built a kit in 25yrs. I decided to get back into the hobby to cure some boredom I've been having, and WOW have prices gone up!. Everything from the kits themselves, to the glue and paint ect.. I enjoyed your video and your attention to details. I have a question though. I don't have a paint booth, so what do you recommend I do for when it comes time to painting the shell of the car and larger parts?. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!..now i'll have to go watch all your other videos for some more tips.

[@secret_one]

Great video, but personally as a beginner I would not recommend removing the parts from the sprue until needed as sometimes, bad instructions for example, it can make it difficult to ensure you have the correct part. Yes I can fully understand that sometimes you need to especially if it needs painting before assembly. Maybe take good high quality pictures of the sprues before cutting the parts off to use as a reference, or cutting parts off a sprue and placeing in individual boxes. Be very careful when scribing as some models are very thin and easy to cut right through. When adding bumpers and such to a car body for painting, I use masking tape to hold them in place as I have had models that I cannot get the body on after glueing them in place. Other than that top notch, still far better than I can do, but I just enjoy the relaxation of the build process and a finished project is a bonus.

[@ssneaky8273]

Hi can I know what type of glue to use of we don't have plastic cement?

[@SR20DEET]

Awesome man This day's I build nissan 300ZX fairlady 🇯🇵

[@Not.Ferrnnzz]

Great video! Will be taking notes of the materials! iM building my way up to start doing car models.. but for now I just started in Gundam Kits.. 3 kits in 1 week done. I need to make my own space for car model kits and start collecting materials!

You can do it!

海外はあまりラッカー系塗料使わないって聞いてたけど、タミヤの使ってるんですね。綺麗です。

[@ede67]

Great video, thanks a lot for this helpful guide! I am a beginner in paintbrushing and have a question to you: When I use my sandpaper 3000 after clearcoating with very long drying time, the coat always comes off. It is like I am scraping off a rubber layer. May it be an issue of a bad clear coat product? I am using vallejo Polyurethane Gloss Varnish.

[@JHHobby]

hi, ermm i think the clear coat you used is not suitable, polyurethane clear is for those rc plastic body, and will not stick with other types of plastic/ paints.

[@fqwarrior]

Love your video. I actually watched a few weeks ago a similar one from you that you posted three years ago ! I have to say your explanation was so clear on the painting, clear coat and polishing that I incorporated pretty much everything you said into my car build. I have only built 3 cars before being mainly a armor and plane builder and they were not great. It was a instant improvement. So I have to say thanks to you and your video. You have a new fan! 🙏

[@JHHobby]

That is awesome! So glad to hear that! 🙌

[@fqwarrior]

@@JHHobby One thing that is interesting is our perception. If you had said spray a light first coat to me and not shown me the video, I would have done something very different than what you did. My light coat would have been two passes and not even pressing the nozzles that hard I think. So you video was very important as to what you meant by light coat! Same goes for the second and third.👍 coat.

[@HontubeYT]

I do not mean any offense but I would go bankrupt the moment I click "buy now" on the shopping website for the first knife. This may be for beginners but it definitely isn't for the ones with lower incomes. 😂

[@robg.9639]

There are Starterkits which don't cost so much

[@HontubeYT]

​@@robg.9639 I have seen the prices, for a person like me or any other person whose income is near my family's wouldn't be able to afford even a basic kit. The best starter knives we can buy without breaking the bank would be some cheap craft knife that dulls as soon as it starts to cut cardboard. Also they rust very quickly. I check both online and nearby stationery shops for hobby essentials but most of the times they are either transported over long distances or some other very expensive case. Also I live in a part of India where it is a metropolitan region but the income is not that good. I guess, it's a hobby that I might have to let go.

[@isaiahstanley1148]

@@HontubeYT being in India things are probably tougher to get but honestly you dont need any special tools. I started with a cheap razor blade some sand paper and glue. Get everything else along the way. Dont give up bud. Heck ill even send you some supplies!

[@joshuabrumley2169]

Most people don’t start out with all this stuff. Most of us just acquired it over the years. You can get a lot of this stuff at local hardware stores or places even cheaper.

[@Garrett-In-Canada]

for a beiginner video this guy has all the stuff you need and more lol

[@spoonbe]

great video, helps a lot. you use primer only on the body part? Why not on the chassis and the rest of the parts, is it waste of time?

[@JHHobby]

Hey, for me i doesn't feel like we need to primer every parts as long as you sand the parts before paint and it wont peel or lift off during masking..most of the time i use primer is for covering heavy sanding marks and have a good coverage for colour paint later on😁

[@isaiahstanley1148]

Man soo clean. One day my builds will be flawless 🙌 honest question with your skill how do you not have a airbrush setup ? Why you use the rattle cans .??

[@southpaw5483]

Thank you for sharing. When using ENAMEL paint, do you need to have a Primer first? or may we paint directly on the Plastic?

Woah this is so cool!! Makes me want to build again!!! this is a different level of build this is art at this point!

[@giantstickman8650]

Great video, I've been doing builds for a few years and still took away some neat tips. What chrome paint are you using for the headlights and taillights? It looks great - I've used Molotow Liquid Chrome and while it comes out nicely the tips always seem to go dry making it hard to apply.

[@hhaste]

Incredible, as always. I've owned an 06 STi for 15 almost 16 years, now and just got this same model recently, after months of searching.. Hard to find one. Can't wait to put it together.

[@JHHobby]

Thanks man! Glad you this model kit! Haha

[@hhaste]

@@JHHobby Just finished the base coat. May I ask what method you used to paint the black trim inside the front bumper? Mask and sprayed or perhaps brush painted by hand? I'm scared to mess that up, haha. Thanks in advance, if you see this!

Awesome tutorial! Where do you get the pre cut window masks? And what do you use to apply the panel liner?

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA Your work is good, your explanation instructive. The video is of such poor resolution, however, that I cannot see any details, or even to read the kit's instructions when held up to your camera. I lack the means to build kits, create dioramas, figurines, etc., to my keen disappointment, so I very much enjoy these videos.

[@woll1979]

hi. thanks for the video. What is the sponge grit in that case?

[@fqwarrior]

Can I check with you the way you spray your cars with the Tamiya spray cans, can you do two cars with the same can? Or will it run out before the 2nd car is done?

[@JHHobby]

Hey man, 1 cans normally is just enough for 1 car😅

[@fqwarrior]

@@JHHobby Ok thought so as you spray pretty generously. 😁

[@yragg96]

hi jh! i want to ask if it is okay to use spray paint brands like samurai or anchor as an alternative? can i just hand paint the smaller parts like the brake rotors and exhaust pipes?

[@JHHobby]

Hi, yes you can too but the results will not be as fine and nice as hobby spray cans because normal spray cans nozzle is bigger so the paint will be quite thick😅 but it's possible, previously i used samurai spray paints too😁

[@guywhomakestuff]

I noticed you used Mr Surfacer Primer which is light gray, and painted the body white over it. Was the white not affected? I am painting a light yellow gloss body, but concerned the light grey primer will affect it.

[@braz_P.K]

IS AMAZING

[@michelbartholomeeussen9418]

Can you use that clear on decals?

[@JHHobby]

Yes you can, actually i wanted to put the decals before clearcoat but i forgot!🤣

[@johnmx5555]

you know you are a skilled modeler when you put the window masks straight on the first try :P well done buddy! great work as always! i know its a personal preference but i also don't cut all parts from their trees.some models are more complex than others and i don't want to lose something,also trees help you hold the parts for painting. i usually leave the parts on their trees hanging from one spot that won't be visible after the attachment on the model. also,how do you manage not to leave a single fingerprint on the polished body and clear parts :P For this, use a lot of rubber gloves guys!! Again great job! your buddy with the grey gc8 from Greece. Cheers!

[@mannyroldan-bv6km]

I noticed you didnt wash cae before the priming, is there a reason to it? Or probably missed that part.

[@roniu5110]

i have a question if the spoiler doesnt have a base like the subie how do i secure it for painting?

[@JHHobby]

This one will be tough, if there is leg on the spoiler you can try to use a small crocodile clip to hold it. If it's whole piece flat then you have to find somewhere not obvious to stick it and spray.

[@RCStuds]

Why do you recommend enamel over acrylic hand paint?

[@jeroenhendriks6676]

You are working in a “fume hood” like in a lab ? What kind ? Mobile ?

[@ZZEROO99]

The orange peeling effect would be good to leave on model kits of stock OEM cars as the paint would be like that from the factory.

[@WardenOfTerra]

The decals should go on before you put varnish on. You should also cut down the decals even further to prevent silvering.

[@JHHobby]

Yes actually that is the better way to do it but i forgot to put the decal on and i go with the clearcoat straight🫠

[@loganit0]

Video is great, my only objection is that white plastic, with white primer followed by white paint is well, bad way to show the difference between stages. Other than that its cool.

[@Ken-sl4um]

Do you have a suggestion? I am trying to highlight the name of a car that is molded in a script font in chrome. I have tried a toothpick, dry brushing, and laying down BMF before paint but nothing really works.

[@t-macpie1410]

I'd love to know how long it take per build.

[@michaelvalencia3537]

Just a request, could you increase your lighting? IDK if you have a filter on or if your work area is just dimly lit but when you work on dark materials like the undercarriage or the interior it's difficult to see what you're doing, a lot of the detail gets lost.

[@JustAnAustinA40]

Great build but looks like you forgot to add the blinkers on the side 😉

[@RuweSaare]
