Tamiya: Morris Mini Cooper Part 1

[@thomasgibson7571]

Hi Tom, sent a shiver down my back watching you de-seam the body, an old friend had a fully de-seamed mini cooper S back in 1980, he brought it back to Manchester UK from jersey UK. it was awesome dressed in British racing green, totally inspired I bought a mini in 1982, and proceeded to de-seam it, mig welding and brazing every 4 inches to stop the body warping...before you get too far with your model de-seam the roof too, believe me it will look better....thanks for bringing lots of great memories flooding back

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

To late now. But thanks for the tip

[@joannewhilde7359]

I do like the fact you have deseamed the mini. Quite popular in the 80s with the minis back in the 80s in the UK.

Love that you are doing Tamiya kits as you know the quality is there already. You know when its a good vid when you're cranky when it ends :)

[@mx472000]

I'm always looking forward to the weekend cause I know you'll upload new videos! Love this channel.

[@bobbybrantley8298]

i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@aliffitisham129]

Love the vid kind sir, wish you upload more often, your video just so enjoyable to watch

[@Wesley_C]

Ok, i'm always to see you on the next videos, a classic model kit cars of the best.

The Cooper looks really nice, love the paint job!...Bill

[@henriqueoliveirajr1837]

Nice color ! Always a great job ! 👍😊

[@SamirHSX]

Do you sand between color coats? the subtitles talks about sanding paper after dry time. I am presuming it's an editing mistake, right?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I sand after the primer. Not colors

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Big Toe, big fan. Thanks from Florida’s Space Coast.

[@dougg519]

How do you like the 2k primer? It looks like you're getting insanely good coverage on the first coat! I accidentally ordered it instead of the normal primer, but haven't had the chance to use it yet. And what is the point of going over it again with 1k primer?

[@michaelburry8332]

YES! Good questions. I'm watching to see the answers too... 👍

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

Nice paint job on the mini

[@CioXxXx]

I'm looking forward for a technique to have some dirt / dust on cars, like on a rally car after a stage. May you show us how to do this in some next episode? This would be nice :)

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Already did in a previous video(jeep)

[@starforce224]

What size of needle do you use for the color paint? 0,4 too? Sorry for my english

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

yes

[@starforce224]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel ok thank you

[@jslute]

Do you have a link to where i can buy Zero paints in Canada? The link for dealers in the vids description gives a Canadian link but the website has been under construction for the last 3 months,at least.Great vid looking for to see it finished.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Thats all i have, sorry

[@kcallow]

Thanks for all your interesting videos. I have a question on airbrush needle size. You used to use a 0.2mm needle but I noticed you changed to a 0.4mm needle some while ago. Was there any particular reason?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I like the flow better with a 0,4

[@alessandromalusa7616]

First! I am building the exact same kit, though I'm making it in a lime green.

With a black hood? ;)

Love that paint job. I‘m struggling a lot on my‘s. But no master has fallen from sky yet. How much time have you been investing getting to that master level?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

10 years or so so far

[@manushobbies1856]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Damn it. so then i have to go a long way...

[@mrraidamotovlog9970]

Just having pleasure watching your work. May I ask question: between each paint layer need to sand paint job? and how to clean after sanding ? thank you and keep coming great models :)

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Only after primer

[@LancashireLad1980.]

So many ideas you could of incorporated in this model, union jack roof/ checker board patterns? An original mini colour not a modern colour on an old shell. Could of even built the famous Monte carlo rally car , Im not saying the end product is bad its very good in fact just think you played it safe.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Played it safe, or built it to my specification?

[@LancashireLad1980.]

Each to there own and no bad feelings, ive subbed for two years and never seen a bad model from you yet, but when you choose a classic mini theres just sooooo much you could of done but hey its your model do as you wish.

[@fabinhominiaturas6746]

good;

[@flatfourluka1306]

You're so damn talented. I built a few revell models and they arent as nearly good as your builds

[@Simon-sv6qe]

Not sure if you noticed but the pop ups say Tamiya 600 grit sandpaper after colour and clear coats 😂😂😂😂

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Woeps

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

👍👍👍👍

[@kevgeny74]

What is it 7:00, 7:20, 8:00 Tamiya 600 Grit?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

a mistake, should have been the airbrushes name

[@the72inc73]

I feel a little bit uncomfortable with a new "Mini" colour on a classic original Mini :(

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Luckily i don't ;)

[@stevehoulihan726]

So basically you're de-seaming it. Nice.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I guess?

[@stevehoulihan726]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Yeah. That line that goes from the roof down between the windscreen panel and door panel, and from the roof again down between the rear side window and rear panel where the boot (trunk) is... They are seams. Lots of owners do that. You've obviously gone a step further and taken the door hinges off, the exposed hinges were only on the earlier ones not the later ones. Once again you're thinking outside the box. Nice colour too!

[@andrewdrabble8939]

Glad it's a model Mini because if you took off the lines you did on the real car, it would fall apart because that's where the manufacturer put it together

[@l228spn]

Unless it's been deseamed 😉

[@andrewdrabble8939]

@@l228spn Yeah that's a good point

[@mad_drifter1324]

The lines that u sanded off went ment to be sanded off

[@Marie579]

OMG you’ve eroded all the bits on a mini that made it a mini! you’re a gifted modeller for gods sake I USED to like you videos.... I can’t believe it I nearly cancelled my subscription!!! BUT a you should now make the same model in genuine period colours WITH SEAMS ago appease the purists... ME please.
