[@simonbor77]

I am very happy about your plan for 2023. I also make my kits in-flight and your research is a welcome one :) Happy New Year!!!

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Simon I'm hoping 2023 will be productive in a different way!

[@barrythatcher9349]

Hi Chris, found your channel through Harry Houdini. I'm Aussie like and thoroughly enjoyed all your output this year. All the best for 2023 and looking forward to what got.

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Barry, sorry you had to go through Harry to find me! Lol!

[@barrythatcher9349]

@@beckersmodels all's forgiven.

[@texmurphy5611]

Thank you for your sharing you tutorials and build videos with us, Chris! You have definitely helped many of us up our skills! Hope 2023 is as good as, or better than 2022 for you!

[@beckersmodels]

You're very welcome Tex I hope they've helped in some way! Cheers Chris

[@thomasdailey9280]

Chris great and honest review mate happy new year from the UK.

[@beckersmodels]

You too Mark, thanks!

[@daveonbass79]

Thanks for all the videos. I've enjoyed finding and subscribing to your channel. Hopefully you'll keep doing videos. I would love to see more on the 1/16 Sherman. Cheers, mate. Happy new year.

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Dave I'm still tinkering with the sherman I've put the two halves together and will be doing some more next year. Cheers Chris

[@hoppy5631]

Best wishes for the New Year Chris and thank you for all your efforts on the channel. I do enjoy your builds and commentaries! I've learned some good tips as well.

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks hoppy!

[@TheBez1965]

Happy new year Chris , I’m pretty much in the same mindset , need to finish a kit ,

[@beckersmodels]

You too mate thanks

[@zyphod74]

I think the quote you were trying to say is "making a silk purse out of a sows ear". All the best for the new year mate!

[@beckersmodels]

Heh heh I knew it was something like that! Hope you're well Paul, see you next year!

[@zyphod74]

Will do !

[@kiwiruna9077]

Best wishes for '23 and hoping that your plan works out. I have fingers crossed that the Super Stallion lands back on the bench in the not to distant future.🙃

[@beckersmodels]

Yes mate the super stallion remains in the build queue, I will keep moving on with it for.sure

[@HarryHoudiniModels]

Great output… you are a modelling machine. I managed 1 completed, 3 started and 15 still WIP… hehe

[@beckersmodels]

More finishing less waffling!

[@HarryHoudiniModels]

@@beckersmodels So that’s where I have been going wrong all these years!

[@paulwilson1529]

thanks for your great videos all year chris. do you see yourself doing any more on the stallion updates next year with the new plan?

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Paul yep still going ahead with the super stallion, I should have something by February or so, still working double time through to end of January.cheers Chris

[@Captain-Nostromo]

I have nine unfinished Models on On me workbench 😀 most of them are short run Kits, type Special hobbies, MPM, Octopus, and Resine kits. I like odd models That no one of the big companies cares about, in front of me I have a William Brothers Gilmores Red Lion that is an awesome racing plane from the thirties 🤓

[@beckersmodels]

Love that interwar period of aviation, has to be my favourite especially the racers!

[@1946FordDeluxe]

Happy new year Chris. The trumpeter submarine, is it the type VII? If so is it worth getting? As I want to build a HMS Graph and haven’t seen a decent review on the Trumpeter type VII. Cheers and keep up the good work.

[@beckersmodels]

Indeed its the new tool Trumpeter Type VII - comparable to Revell's, but a bit more fiddly because of the PE. I will try to finish it as it will only take an hour or so of bench time to get it over the line ready for primer. Cheers, Chris

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Sounds good as for me I like to beat my head against something till I win... Like I just got a ton of little 3mm scale tanks to practice my painting on just do my style on each and as they are small I can knock them out quickly unlike the 13 hours I've sunk into 1, 40mm scale tank and I feel I'm only half way and the paint is getting thick from my mistake of going near 0 brush skill to uh some... But yeah it's worked for my writing, Pixel/3D art, games and music... It can be slow at times but man does it work. Which could you do videos showing your progress on your methiod? I would love to watch them!

[@beckersmodels]

Yep Ill be filming the whole process, but might take me awhile to get some videos up, I'm working solid for the next month or so - cheers Chris

[@c123bthunderpig]

Hey Chris, thought that might be spreading the vegemite to thin down under :-) Just reentering the game I here your frustration, First there are so many kits and not enough time and I'm retired. Next, sounds odd I think the model makers are part of the problem. They are making so many models of everything, then they are making everything in mansize scale with tons of detail, which increases the need for new techniques, new supplies and ancillary kits to tie in. . So I feel your frustration. However you've got some natural artistic talent and sounds like a stash you can experiment with. Speaking of stash, you had a great build out going on a Navy helicopter, is that still a go? In the " old days" the kits had those plastic stands with the slot for the fuselage, maybe there is some kind of evolution of that you can't work on, however your current technique is great. I'll be standing by to catch any video ya make because I need all the help I can get and think you've got a great passion for the hobby. BTW I think your tank girl is still my favorite :-) Plus that 3D printer. Looking forward to whatever videos you make in 2023. Feel free to have Penny give you some help, she's a sweetheart. Cheers and Happy New year , " Bob", my second incognito after Thunderpig .

[@beckersmodels]

Gday Bob - thanks again for your great comments - and yes the stash is the experiment I guess! Yes, the Super Stallion is still a go, I'm hoping to do a little more very soon. The 3D printer will be put through its paces to design some modern versions of those flight stands. Will give Penny a pat for you! Cheers, Chris

[@robertjensen1438]

Just a comment for the algorithm

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Robert, always appreciated!

[@the51project]

13:30 When you say your intention is to 'not finishing a single kit next year", what you're modeling yourself on is a 1970's British car worker. You should make yourself a stand that says that and enter yourself into competitions, but on the day, go on strike.

[@beckersmodels]

Nothing wrong with that all! Cheers Chris

[@the51project]

@@beckersmodels Have really enjoyed your videos. Just organizing the spare room at home to fit my paint booth.

[@FredWilbury]

Chris all the best for the new year as for building we all go down that route 👌😎 ps just fitting lighting into the revell razor crest 🫣

[@beckersmodels]

Thanks Fred, you too! One day I'll get back to my Razorcrest
