Special Hobby, Hawker Tempest Mk.V,

[@thomasr.bartonjd7815]

On a serious note, the weathering on your Tempest is uncanny. Great work and great stopmotion.

[@forthleft]

I'm always impressed by the quality Tom creates in everything he does. The music is unbelievably good too!

[@somebloke13]

I don't know what's the most impressive; the model build and paint work or the video production! Excellent!! 😎👍👍

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you very much

[@finallyfriday.]

Looking for words.... let's just go with "WOW". The camera works allows one to see details from multiple angles for references- much appreciated.

[@TomGrigat]

I'm pleased you like it 😊

[@truthhurts9241]

My wife looked at me in such a weird way when I laughed at the "Marmite bit." Again, excellent video and model. Thankyou.

[@grzegorzkowalski5100]

From 3:48 beautiful weathering. I keep replaying this part, every time amazed.

[@songndancedude]

Hi there Tom, you do such a great job with these videos. It's hard enough to take work-in-progress pictures when I build my kits but you are able to make a full stop motion/timelapse movie from beginning to end (not to mention the post production involved in the final video). All of them are just fascinating to watch and everytime, I try to analyze your thought process. i.e. which assembly to build and paint and shoot the video (you probably even have a storyboard for the scenes). It blows my mind how you are able to be so prolific in making both kits and videos while I can hardly finish a couple of models in a year. Maybe you should do a behind the scenes? Then there will be a flood of these types of videos. You know the saying, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. You should take comfort that you are the original. Just like how some video special effects are now labelled "Ken Burns" maybe you'll see modelling videos that are "Tom Grigat" style. Keep up the good job and know that there will be a lot of us that enjoy your work. -Joseph

[@TomGrigat]

Wow, what kind words... thank you. I'll think about, doing some kind of "making of"

[@PanzermansBunker]

Masterful work Tom. Great larger scale build. Love the pilot figure. Build, paintwork, and stop motion are all wonderful. Much respect my friend. Bill

[@TomGrigat]

PanzermansBunker thanks a lot 😊 the figure is a thing on its own...

[@Cafferssss]

The whole thing is spectacular. The build is un-canny, weathering, details the whole thing. The video production is also top notch. The time that goes into a stop motion of this frame rate is massive. Top job

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks for your kind words 😊

[@bobdyer422]

Coolest style I've ever seen a build vid produced. Excellent build also. He head turn at the end is hilarious!

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you 😊

[@Rena152]

Not only the model itself but the editing is so good aswell! Thank you for this work!

[@theamazingengineer1901]

Good to know someone as trustworthy as Nigel is in the cockpit of that beauty

[@thomasr.bartonjd7815]

Ah Ha!!! I have cracked the case of the mysterious powers of manipulation by this wizard of the modeling world. I was fine-tuning the electronics on my mid-infrared goggles (don't ask what I employ them to do) when I just happened to look down at my computer screen tuned to this very video and lo and behold I saw several elves who had previously been employed at Santa's North Pole workshop and they were assembling the teeny-tiny components!! I was stunned and also relieved that our intrepid modeling genius must also have some assistance in creating these wonderful airplanes and videos. Thanks for the helping hand, Elves. Cheers.

[@TomGrigat]

😂👍

[@ennisanderson2719]

I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel! I'd never build most of the kits you do BUT, I wouldn't miss one for the world! This one is truly outstanding!

[@TomGrigat]

Ennis Anderson I'm glad to hear, thanks ☺️

[@TomtensKanal]

Oh my god, I can't even fathom how long it must have taken you to make this video and model! It's fantastic, my chin fell to the floor. Just amazing!

[@angusmackay7281]

Tom, I've watched a few of your videos now and I'm really knocked out by your channel. The standard of the model making goes without saying, but the creativity and technical excellence of your videos is top notch too. Congratulations on a great channel.

[@TomGrigat]

wow, thanks for your kind comment ;-)

[@angusmackay7281]

I work in film and TV, Tom, so I know how much work this takes and how difficult it is to get it so right.

[@TomGrigat]

To hear you're working in the TV sector makes your words even more impressive to me - thank you... I promise to improve my work on upcoming projects ;-) I use these little clips to train my animation abilities for my daily job.

[@marcpigeon7796]

Wow Tom that is great cinematography. Bravo. And the Oscar for best Short Animation goes to. . . 🏍🇨🇦

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you very much 😊

[@zx7gp]

Nothing I can really add from these comments but that was the freaking amazing, entertaining build video I have seen to date. Standing ovation from over here!

[@TomGrigat]

Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Churchill, I appreciate it 😊

[@molai1961]

Sir, if "mad" has any positive sense, then you must be mad. WOW ! How on earth could you do that !? Magnificent.

[@TomGrigat]

😂👍

[@robpatrick6107]

Amazingly clever and skilful artistry

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks for your kind words 😊

[@alanp805]

Marmite! That is insane genius. Beautiful modelling and the video is just 🔥

[@angusmackay7281]

I may have said this already on another of your posts, Tom, but I really don't know which is more amazing, your modeling skills or your ability animate. The combination of the two makes your wonderful channel unique. Very well done.

[@TomGrigat]

+Angus Mackay thank you 😊

[@clazy8]

Loved the transition to b/w

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

I love Hawker's old naming convention. 'Hurricane', 'Typhoon' and 'Tempest'. Of them all I like Tempest best.

[@CraigH999]

I saw a Hawker Sea Fury at an airshow once - it had Australian markings. What a beast of a plane - I think it had a 5-blade propeller and the engine spun "in reverse" of almost all other piston-driven aircraft. It had amazing power. Beautiful aircraft.

[@jpht1964]

You should receive the highest award that KZbin can give... awesome...

[@TomGrigat]

Oh, thanks 😊

[@albinhurve5521]

what a piece of art. both the plane and the video! amazing!!!

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks

[@icspawn]

This is it! You are a maestro!

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you 😊

[@TheFunkhouser]

The Tempest, an amazing, under-rated fighter/ attack aircraft... the Mk2 was due out soon, wouldve been even more bad ass, but a few months too late for WW2. The Sea Fury took up its crown and totally smashed the rules and imo became the best ever prop driven fighter/attack aircraft.

[@JohnyG29]

Under-rated by whom?

[@CharlyBaby77]

I thought I had seen all about model kits videos in KZbin, but your videos are simply awesome!!! Extremely professional!!! As well as your model kits as well. I am very very impressed. Excellent job!!!

[@TomGrigat]

thank you very much! I'm pleased you like it...

[@npc6817]

There's plenty of companies producing high end model making materials for extremely detailed weathering. _and then there's Marmite._

[@hubristicmystic]

IKR? I knew it was an expensive build when the marmite jar appeared.

[@grzegorzkowalski5100]

NPC It is not any marmite. It is modelkit-dedicated tailor-made high-end marmite for extremely detailed modeling. And they do not sell cheap.

[@timn4481]

these could be the best videos on youtube..just outstanding.

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you 😊

[@rightmarker1]

I can only say that was absolutely brilliant.

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks for your kind words 😊

[@peterhsu987]

His works are all amazing and out of this world 🤩

[@joefurnari2023]

This deserves way more than 16K views! Fully enjoyed watching this, and learned some interesting modeling tips in the process

[@TomGrigat]

+Joe Furnari thanks for your kind words and I'm glad I could have been helpful 😊

[@ZeddysDad]

Absolutely top stuff there. Amazing talent twice over - superb model building and seriously superb video! My cap is doffed sir!

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@Lensman864]

Beautiful model making AND video production!

[@ddspixelrush6848]

This build is a masterpiece

[@-vajradatta-8359]

Wow! Why haven't I seen this channel before??? Excellent and very unique work Tom! Please keep it up.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Excellent work. It must be taken double time of building the model by doing this video. *_thumbs up!_*

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you - but It usually takes something about three times and more. But for me it's some kind of intense concerning about the modelling process, so time doesn't matter ;-)

[@Skyprince27]

@RCScaleAirplanes Ah, only 6,528 individual frames to shoot. Easy Peezy NOT!!!

[@KevTheImpaler]

That is so much effort and attention to detail.

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks 😊

[@daniel-m]

Making resin coming to life ! :o) Beautiful.

[@CWModelling]

I've just found your channel and your videos are mesmerising.......kudos, kudos, kudos

[@TomGrigat]

I'm pleased to hear - thank you ;-)

[@Jungleland33]

Marmite. Lol. I've seen it all now. Fantastic job.

[@spudpud-T67]

Tastes good, feels good, looks good.

[@willabe566]

Your work is just stunning.

[@TomGrigat]

+Willabe thanks 😊

[@bobg1685]

Another very well done project. Kudos!

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@noelwilson5960]

Fabulous detail and fantastic film making Tom! I am enjoying watching your talents with my son (4 years old) Best Wishes!

[@TomGrigat]

thank you, for you kind words and I'm happy to hear your little son enjoys it as well ;-)

[@kkgc5760]

4:00 what a ending... as the model comes to life, suddenly i felt a chill as i was reminded this toy was modelled after a machine of war... living human beings was flying them, killed or be killed... WAR.. WAR NEVER CHANGES.. glad we are living in peaceful countries and enjoying luxuries such as hobbies...

[@TomGrigat]

Yes, you're totally right! War is always the same bad story and everybody has to avoid it. Those planes are part of the crucial history though and I like to exercise the constructions and stories behind...

[@Chain0123]

Your work has inspired me to make my own stop motion video of a bf 109! Thanks so much!

[@TomGrigat]

I'm pleased to hear - have fun with your stopmotion assembling! You're welcome 😊

[@adayhr]

I love see your videos, realy.... AMAIZING job with the models and the way that you show the video... FANTASTIC!!👏👏👏👏🍻

[@alitatunertc1775]

Always enjoy your work and videos! Thank you very much!!!

[@TomGrigat]

I'm pleased to hear - you're welcome 😊

[@Gullyrats]

Brilliant works. ART & PLAY combined

[@ancientmariner7473]

Incredible! So much internal detail that can't be seen...

[@kiwiadventures3773]

Gave it a like before watching it. The tempest was a great aircraft and I saw your b17 build. I knew it wouldn’t disappoint

[@Frank-rh7vh]

Man, i´m speechless... but THANK YOU !!! :-)

[@rparker2824]

Love the close ups. Looks realistic.

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@TimsScaleModelling]

Fantastic video and build Tom, amazing stuff...

[@TomGrigat]

thnak you

[@Christmotorfilmpkes]

Wow, this is fantastic and I think a lot of work to make the model and the video! thx for sharing!

[@TomGrigat]

Christmotorfilmpkes thank you very much 😊

[@MrWahooknows]

Simply gorgeous.

[@Kitzkrieg]

Outstanding.... left me breathless! I would love to see an uncut and full length video on your stop motion process 😊 even if you could upload it in multiple part's. I would love to see how your work through this magical and absolutely beautiful process. thank you! thank you for everything you share of your art.

[@TomGrigat]

Kitzkrieg Hobbies thanks for your kind words 😊

[@thomasr.bartonjd7815]

Have a Merry Christmas and a glorious New Year. Also, give the Elves some sweet cookies. They love 'em. Cheers to you and yours.

[@georgebrown6540]

Easiest subscribe button push decision I've had in a long time, I really enjoyed the video, and the build quality looks superb, thanks for sharing.

[@torinhalsey6313]

Extraordinary. Mind blown.

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks

[@genekloszewski5484]

good stuff!, excellent workmanship, and, video!, good to see fellow modelers , doing projects, thats great, i watch all your vids !

[@TomGrigat]

[@ND-cf5xy]

[@7Markandrews]

[@TomGrigat]

[@donniejohnston4114]

Best videos on the Web. Well done sir 👍

[@TomGrigat]

[@vaughnerhardt1510]

Brilliant. Very talented.

[@Crooks7754]

Great work dude, that has to be the best model I've ever seen - animation was awesome too :D

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks 😊

[@TheModellingNews]

Great work Tom!

[@lastblade2389]

Really incredible! Amazing work.

[@carlosescobar6973]

Wow!!!. All Exellent work 👍!!!

[@MrDantres]

Everything is incredible about this video, everything! 😳

[@geoff-brady]

An excellent and original video. I found it very motivating for me and my model hobby. Marmite! Who would have guessed. Being an Aussie I wonder if Vegemite may be used for the same effect?

[@TomGrigat]

I'm happy to hear - it should work with vegemite as well as long as it is water-soluble and stick to the surface.

[@edwardquin4464]

A work of art.

[@TomGrigat]

edward quin thank you 😊

[@guillermolanger1911]

Tom te felicito... Eres extraordinario en la animación en y en el detalle de las terminaciones que le das al modelismo!!!

[@charlesbola1971]

Amazing job the state of the art congratulations

[@TomGrigat]

charlesbola1971 thanks a lot 😊

[@irfannajib408]

everyone done modeling and told "NO TOUCHING MY MODEL" and here's Toms was making great animation of it...

[@Mikolaj_u]

Apparently Tempests were the only aircrafts capable of catching up with v2 rockets and were used to shoot them down. Superb video.

[@carlosallende2595]

Perhaps you have mixed up V2 rockets with V1's. No plane would have been capable off catching up to a V2, they launched faster than the speed of sound. There were British jets in ww2 that downed V1's but no plane was ever officially recorded as having downed a V2 missile. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKKwXnqLiJucpas

[@jeffpacey5190]

The detail and craftsmanship of your builds in unreal!!! How many hours from start to finish would you guess the actual build time was? Maybe hard to figure with all the immense time the stop motion filming must’ve taken. Keep the builds coming. Truly impressive!

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks a lot - it appr. took 60-70 hours

[@gsperanza07]

‘Well done Tom, honestly, fantastic work and please don’t give up , keep posting , absolutely amazing and love your work , especially the wiring add on’s and even the chipping technique, absolutely brilliant and original, definitely going to use that idea, I’ve got VEGIMITE here in Australia, neither the less, excellent work , keep it up :)

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks a lot for your kind words

[@jimbrent8151]

Excellent. Thank you for sharing.

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks, you're welcome 😊

[@mr.modern4419]

Thanks for another great video and a spectacular build!!!!

[@TomGrigat]

mr.modern44 you're welcome 😊

[@franklebowski9728]

Awesome job my friend. I wish others would use this style of assembly video! Too many builders try to promote themselves rather than the aircraft and their music is annoying.

[@TomGrigat]

I'm glad you like my type of animation. Thanks for your kind words 😊

[@SenorTucano]

Home in time for tea and medals!

[@barkebaat]

Amazing build quality - thanks for posting !
