Tamiya Ford Mustang GT4 1/24 Scale Model Build “Chassis”

[@dkmike2299]

Watching this work is awesome. I cant tell you how much i appreciate the attention to detail and that knack for striving to achieve absolute perfection. There are so many places were you could have saved time and not done because no one would see it but you, like the little line you scrape off in even the tiniest places. These are the type of people I love working with and paying for services, whether they are a mechanic, fabricator, painter, carpenter, or even landscaper, whatever the profession, that attitude to never cut corners and do absolute amazing quality work is a special gift that is not seen enough and very much appreciated

I'm almost 50 and some of my dad's friends were into competitive model building. He had a 427 Cobra that he won first place with probably in the 80s. It was very impressive and the detail was awesome. But this is beyond words. Just beautiful artwork. Thank you for sharing. Being able to watch a master in action is jaw dropping. It's like watching those guys who make samurai swords.

It has always started for me. It has kept me safe and alive for many years. Someday I know it will be time to say goodbye, but if I could rebuild it I would. If I could have a Tamiya of it, I’d buy 10 kits and keep them! Lol. It has been a great car and I kindly thank my Korean Friends at Hyundai for making a superb vehicle!

You are correct, you show the technique for two seconds. one drop is down and you add another. That's why I missed it. It is a wonderful skill, I'll experiment to square off the drops.

Some of you guys are just on another level. You, my young friend, are in the pantheon of model car builders.

Based on these materials, I judge how far it can be reproduced and then start production.

[@scottsheward4740]

I couldn’t hit the subscribe button fast enough. This is, hands down, the most jaw-dropping, accurately built/painted model I have ever seen, and the editing is top-notch. Your painstaking prep work, colour selection, paint mixing and finishing set you head and shoulders above anything else I’ve seen on KZbin, and I subscribe to a ridiculous number of channels. Yet you still seem to find the time to acknowledge and reply to virtually every comment that gets posted. With that in mind I have a question: it looked to me like you made foil adhesive from cashew nut shell liquid - is that correct? If so, is it because it will not hold brush marks? I’ve been struggling with finding an adhesive that will work with very thin foil but can be applied by brush and will self-level in a very thin layer, but that is reasonably easy to use and has acceptable tack and dry times.

[@mokeipaint]

Thank you. I am glad you are pleased with my work. To apply the aluminum foil, dilute Urushi 10 times with a special diluent. Then, apply the lacquer with a brush to the place where the aluminum foil is to be applied and leave it for a few minutes. When the lacquer becomes sticky, the aluminum foil is applied. For thin 24k gold, silver, or platinum foil, such as 0.0001mm (1/10000mm) thick, apply lacquer to the area to be covered with the foil and leave it for a few minutes, then wipe off the lacquer with a special dust-free tissue paper before applying the gold, silver, or platinum foil. In this case, if the lacquer is completely wiped off, the lacquer will be glossy; if a little is wiped off, the lacquer will be semiglossy; and if almost no lacquer is wiped off, the lacquer will be matte. The finished gloss can be adjusted according to how much lacquer is wiped away. This technique has been handed down in Japan since ancient times. It is still used today in traditional Japanese crafts, and all of the gold leaf applied to the ornate decorations of Japanese castles and shrines built more than 400 years ago was created using this technique. The chrysanthemum crest on the bow of the battleship Yamato and the battleship Musashi were also gilded using this technique. Today, many people in Japan use the same technique to apply gold leaf to the chrysanthemum crest when building plastic models of the Battleship Yamato and the Battleship Musashi.

[@scottsheward4740]

@@mokeipaint Thank you again, it would be disastrous to dissolve a model after putting so many hours of work into it. 🫣 I’ve been thinking about your builds and considering how much time you must apply just to plan everything out. I’m guessing there must be several days, if not weeks, spent on researching colours, determining which parts need correction and how that should be done, planning how to best mix and apply each colour and in which order, deciding which type of paint to use, how to light and frame each shot, etc., etc... All this before removing the first part from the sprue! The more I think about all that, the more I appreciate how much time and effort you put into what we see, and it becomes easy to understand why each episode takes so long to produce. The result, while no doubt exhausting for you, is a master class in model making for your viewers. I’m sorry to go on at such length, I am struggling to put into words how awed I am by your skill and creativity and I (selfishly, perhaps) hope to help inspire you to continue producing such amazing content.
