Well done Andy! And you are NOT a mediocre modeler.

Thnak you

[@happy_dad4211]

Thank you for taking the time away from your busy business schedule to create these to share. A modeler at heart.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you for watching.

[@MichalKaczorowski]

As an RC modeller, I thank you for your great contribution to the golden era of 1/16 scale. These models are often the basis for modification to driving ones. The market for all kinds of accessories and figures has expanded.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Many thanks!

[@garypankratz9352]

I don’t even build military models but these are fanatastic! Think I may have to dive in to one of these. Thanks a lot Andy for adding another project in my life! Lol!

[@Plantagenaut]

My eyes are killing me (it's late), but I watched this and saw your fantastic models! Wow, Andy! You really are great! I love that Easy 8, man, and all those German pieces! I love that Stug, man! It's hard to rank them, they are all so good! Yeah, take care! We love you, Andy!

I'm still waiting to see your painted 1/16 Scale M10 Achilles Andy. Congratulations on the awards for the Sherman and the Tiger 1 Early. I bought the latter in March last year and I'm now finally painting it.

[@Tryzanfan]

Andy, your kits are incredible and I own most of them! I’d adore a 1/16 Churchill tank! I’d buy at least two! Can’t wait for the acav! In the mean time please keep producing amazing 1/16 kits!

[@pejewey]

First things first! I love your videos and model kits! So keep up the good work. I like your reviews but I also miss the building videos, I used them as reference and to learn (actually learnt a lot). Greetings from south america

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you.

[@user-vt6en8fw4z]

Hi Andy, thanks for taking your time from your daily business and showing us these very nicely done models (I miss your build videos, I was re-watching some of them just for the fun of it). Unfortunately I cannot follow you into the 1:16 country (albeit it would do wonders for my eye sight painting the details) but I just don't have the space to exhibit them. Do you have your own model gallery ? ;-) If you're into the North African theater, could/would you do British vehicles ? Are there even 1:16 Matilda IIs and Crusaders ? Not to mention the rather quirky looking early english light and cruiser tanks.

[@user-vt6en8fw4z]

PS: Do you still have some of these "Mediocre Modeller" T-shirts on sale ? From AAHQ Europe ? I'd love to buy a couple of them ;-)

[@raywyatt8044]

congratulations on the wins

[@garrburton3375]

Andy, Many congratulations on the awards…..so well deserved….love the kits……..would absolutely love a Matilda…my Uncle Dennis was in the Desert Rats and the Matilda was the tank he drove into the battle of El Alamein. I’m sure you can appreciate how much I personally would love such a model. My family was a large family all of whom other than my father (he was only very young at the time) fought during the War, even my Aunts either made parachutes or ammunition in the factories in and around Wolverhampton (U.K) and my ambition is to build a model celebrating each ones Service…….. Congratulations again.

Hey Andy!! You want crew on your tanks an not destroy your paint job, well that's easy, just use white Elmer's glue, it will hold any crew in or on your tanks.

Great builds! I have your 1/16 Sherman and Tiger and had a blast with both of them. Unfortunately, the scale is just too large for me and the space I have. However, I may have to squeeze in the M113 since my uncle served in Vietnam on one.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Andy, that certainly is a great collection of 1/16th kits, way too large for me, I would consider the M113, I would really like to see you go back to the 1/35th scale builds, very happy to see your business go from strength to strength, best regards from Australia, Les

[@merlinharley77]

thank you Andy for all these beautiful 1/16 kits. It’s a very interesting scale and one that can be detailed in abundance. (by the way, I really enjoyed building your M8). Continue in this direction. Have a good one.

Really, really nice. I have a 1/16th Challenger 2 that I'm playing with at the moment but I don't have another 1/16th hole for anything else. Now you are doing a 1/16th M113! I haven't worked out YET how I could get away with buying one when it comes out. Most models I can resist the temptation but I do love the M113.

[@perrylamb6286]

Very cool, Andy. A couple of questions. First, have you seen something called a "media blaster"? Many years ago I saw a model of a German North Africa vehicle that had been painted a steel color and then had the DAK yellow applied over it. The builder then used the "media blaster" to simulate the wind driven sand that "chipped" away the DAK paint, very realistically. I saw that you heavily chipped your Panzer 1, but thought about how it would look if it was actually "sand blasted". Second, do you have any idea if someone will plan after market parts for your M113 so it can be turned into something newer? I'm not really a 1:16 modeler but if I could produce an M113A3, that would be way cool. Thanks!

[@Custer0706]

Great models. By the way, the left track on your Pz. I Ausf. A is mounted in reversed running direction. I, like others, have mixed feelings towards 1/16 scale. Too large for me to put anywhere. Even a small base for them has the size of a full blown 1/35 diorama. Putting an aftermarket crew into them easily turns into a three-digit- endeavor. I have decided to just have two models in this scale, my own personal favored tanks, one of them being Andy’s own Tiger model (with a third of the initial investment spent on top for a correction set. And some more for a new tank commander). Everything else is and will continue to be in 1/35.

[@phillarge7167]

For me the 1/16th scale kits give people the chance to build at least that one great centrepiece model we all want. They are in fact maybe easier to build than 1/35 and give you the opportunity if you wish, to super detail. Just avoid full interior kits and you'll stay sane. 😫😐

[@KHKH-os6kt]

Sure wish they would do a Japanese type 97 tank.

[@hsaurid]

Nice, Andy! A suggestion for 1/16 scale model candidate: Eddie Rickenbacker, WWI ace either in a Spad XIII, or in an early Indycar, or both.

[@nitzerebbhead]

Be nice if an aftermarket company makes the external tanks for the M113 to convert it to an A3 version or even the slate armor upgrade... :)

[@863rafael]

[@davidholder-oe1oe]

Hello, Andy. This is David from Tennessee I have 2 questions for you. I really hope you answer them because I am very curious. Question one, Do you have a 1/35th scale B24 kit. If not, can you order one for me? My father was in one in World War 2. He was in the US NAVY. They had the B24 bombers that was used against the Japanese. He transferred to the bombers after his Aircraft Carrier was sunk by a Japanese submarine. I think it was the same Carrier that ex-president Bush was on. But I am not for sure about that information. My father was a waste gunner in a B24. I would very much like to buy a B24. if you can get me 1 in 1/35th scale. Question 2, on the tank that you said has your name on it. Will you do that tank in a full interior? I think they would sell. But that is just my opinion, thank you very much and Goodbye.

I like the 1:16 scale but with 1:16 and 1:48 armour matching the standard aircraft scales why can’t someone like Tamiya break into 1:32 scale armour, call it MM 32, and upscale their 1:35 best examples to 1:32.

[@AlexxiaFrost]

I’d like to see less 1/16 as well,I also liked the older videos that had assorted builds,it’s like the same kits over and over,Nigel did the same with Lancasters,and I unsubscribed to his channel.Can we hope for more build videos for builders that can’t afford these 1/16 huge kits

[@AllenTam]

What's missing in the 1/6 and needed are interior detail sets for modelers who want to open everything up to see inside and figures in combat poses. For example, action poses like standing by the turret and firing the 50 BMG, and seated figures driving, loading, and aiming the gun instead of the usual boring standing-around poses that come in just about every kit. BORING! Can we have some action, please!

[@catlkthief]

So much for Mediocre 'eh.... I like these and all, but I miss the old channel, building kits that most people could afford and had room for... these 1/16 scale ones are far too large and out of budget for a model kit for me.... it's a switch every once in a while, but nowadays it seems everything is one of these, or some parts review....

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Wednesday, 25 September, 2024) Andy, I hope you and your circle are well. As I watch your video chronology, I imagine what I would do had I a similar kit collection. I envision a troop convoy of platoon or company size with a couple early M-4 Sherman U.S. Army medium tanks, a few Jeeps (Willys Overland M-38 U.S. Army ¼-ton 4×4 general purpose light utility trucks), an M-16 half-track with a Quad-mount turret of four Browning M-2, 50-cal machine-guns, several GMC CCKW 353 U.S. Army 2.5-ton 6×6 cargo trucks (I know of no such kit; however, a KZbinr [I cannot recall who] had mentioned on another channel that he knew of a fellow who makes 3D kits replicating this vehicle [likely amongst others] in various scales of astounding detail and accuracy, even in 1:72nd-scale! One was a 1:16th-scale RC model capable of driving through an actual snowfall. German conveyances such as those you show (half-tracks, cargo trucks, tanks, armoured cars, the wreck of a downed Luftwaffe fighter or dive bomber, etc.), I would pose as severely battle-damaged equipment discarded or abandoned at the roadside. In another video, I read a report on a vintage Bandai kit of the 1937 Rolls Royce Phantom III Sedan (KZbin “This 1937 Rolls Royce kit is enormous!!! I had no idea the box would be this big!!” [Model Car Videos, Monday, 9 October, 2023]), which I would place near to the end of the queue, to dramatise a wealthy, elderly English couple making passage with the soldiers in the effort to make their way across the pastoral Italian countryside of late spring eventually to return to the quiet comforts of his familial estate in southwestern Great Britain. At round 9:00, you mention “Das Werk’s very first 1:16th-scale kit, . . . the StuG IIIG”, explaining that you had built it in “2001, . . . a little over three years ago . . . .” (then at 10:09) “We announced it at the IPMS [International Plastic Modeler’s Society] Nationals right after CoVid happened in the [Las] Vegas show.” I am trying to sort the chronology, to determine the origins of kits as their availability lapses.
