Telford Haul!!

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

It was amazing to meet you Nigel and all! Excellent stuff mate and a great show as well. Cheers!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

It was equally great to meet you and your lovely daughter john. i look forward to the video of the suitcase full of kits.

[@ZinzanModelling]

Dear Nigel, A veritable cornucopia of new kits!! I’ll stop by to watch your reviews! Regards, Z

[@williamhouse5081]

That’s quite the collection you have there, all looks to be very nice. Just a quick note on the Andy’s 1/16 Sherman, Tamiya glue isn’t hot enough to weld the plastic in this kit, found out the hard way when my tracks started falling apart.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for the info! I'm finding this more and more these days.

[@Gremlins_Modelling_Mayhem]

Hi Nigel, it was a pleasure to see you at Telford and have a quick natter.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Likewise!!

[@RaymondSuess]

Hello from across the pond. Glad you had a great time!

[@davidgoddard594]

Would love to see build of RFM King Tiger. Thanks for the update.

[@lindseysbuilds9635]

Glad you had a great time at Telford. Some wonderful kits there Nigle

[@NigelsModellingBench]

They are!

[@KeithFletcher-c3s]

Yes, any order.

[@russellbower3454]

Great selection of kits especially the Gerald R Ford. I have my eye on that for ages

[@waynestarick5282]

Great to hear your enthusiasm shining through!

[@phillipsiviter2024]

Nice haul there Nige. Airfix today asked the question on 1\24 kits. I asked for a Tornado any mark. Going to be big.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I vote Wildcat.

[@geofflight1919]

Nige, My choice for a review/build would be the RFM King Tiger. Great video as always mate

[@willthorson4543]

Good haul. And yes. The Andy's easy 8 is far better than the trumpeter versions and it's cheaper. It has better weld details and rain devits on the hull. The foundry markings are also far more correct. You still need to a do a couple but trumpeters is missing far more . the only thing that would make me get the trumpeter kit (Korean war) is markings for the 3rd Infantry division I was stationed in Germany in the 3rd as a Bradley crewman. And our company got attached to the armor unit on trumpeters box art. The magic factory BFIST doesn't have an interior but it is a beautiful accurate kit.

[@MrVolvobloke]

That Pfalz looks fantastic. Even the box looks gorgeous. Every year I promise myself I'll go to Telford, I only live 15 miles away but never get my act together. No wonder I never start many kits.

[@paulmanuse2353]

It's great you got there!

[@andre-dx4yw]

I have the Aviattic kit i met Richard lovely chap, the kit is outstanding, rather surprised to hear of the thefts, its bloody disgraceful, feel so sorry for Richard no one deserves that

[@andrewbrown2249]

Was great to meet you very briefly at Brooks models! Glad you had a good time, and I meant what I said, this is a great channel for an idiot like me who’s gotten back into the hobby as you’re so good at explaining things I didn’t learn when I was younger and making it accessible. Enjoy the haul! 😊

[@rickdisabato5430]

Nigel ! I’m glad you got away from your bench and sounds like you had a great time ! Awesome ,take care 👍🏻🍻

[@DutchDaveModels]

Awesome haul Nige,Especially the Aviattic Pfalz 💥👍💥

[@darrenmay2010]

i met a couple of you guys but wish i would have bumped into you all to say hello, great show.

[@chrisbrown-ed6du]

I got the aviatic Pfalz and what a kit it is I’ve looked at it out of the box a few times and put it back till I’m confident of tackling such a kit. Be great if you do it as one of your KZbin series as could watch your build before I do mine. I’ve never built a multimedia kit like this one

[@markgordon2260]

On the SMS paints, I use them. Your original complaint was that the pigment settles. I find that as well, but I spend some time shaking them up (and will put a ball in the bottle), and they airbrush beautifully at 20 psi. They have a great range as well. I am yet to try Outlaw paints - every time I have tried to buy them online there is an issue getting payment through (it is not my card in case you are asking!).

[@steviepaynter7456]

Hi mate, I said hello today. Lovely to meet you in person and shake your hand. I bought the HK 1/32 lancaster and I'm looking forward to an epic build. Also bought the 1/32 glass nose b25 michell. Great show cant wait till next year

[@OzScalemodeling]

Nice shopping spree mate.... Looking forward to the reviews 👍

[@mikeMuppetmodeller]

Hope you had a good time at the Telford show Nigel. I saw you a few times but didn’t stop you to chat as I’m sure you get bugged enough for chats and I thought you’d like to just enjoy it. I drove from Southampton and it was a good show.

[@stevemathison6385]

Thanks Nigel. I think I'd like to see the Bradley and the Sherman. Love your videos.

[@eddywells5689]

Nice job great kits 💪💞👍🐕

[@michaelnaven213]

Glad you could make Telford. 😁

[@darrencarwardine3230]

Always the best time is had whn you decide to go somewhere at the last minute.... Glad u made it unfortunately i had to work so unable to get to the show...... Loads of great stuff picked up ..... Love the little bike .... Very unusual

[@markgordon2260]

One more - a near neighbour in Canberra in the 70s was Dick Creswell - CO of 77 Squadron RAAF, who briefly flew Meteors in Korea.

[@jonchristtmass6306]

Nice to meet you at last Nigel

[@NigelsModellingBench]

You too Jon.

[@markgordon2260]

The Telford beer and curry side sounds like one of my geological conferences! You seem like you have come back with a spring in your step and a smile on your dial.

[@jimaltergott9326]

Nice haul Nigel. I vote for the RFM Sherman to be reviewed first. I really want that model, can't have enough Shemans in my armour collection

[@craigjewkes]

Hi Nige, great to hear you got to Telford. Please review everything, would love to see the 1/16 Sherman.

[@Looney2ing]

To bad I missed you at Telford. I'm glad you were able to come. A little bit jealous about the aviatic kit, couldn't bring myself of getting one

[@Andy.Gledhill.Models.]

Some great kits there Nigel. I wish I would get loads of free stuff lol. Yes, review them all. Do a comparison review of those RFM King Tiger kits.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Will do

[@paulburridge6198]

Hi, lovely hall of new kits.. would like to see all as a review, please..

[@TheEdmond30]

good stash Nige, be interesting to see how the pflaz stacks up next to a wingnut kit

[@simonloxton4246]

Aviattic would be great, thanks Nige.👍

[@ENLSN77]

Nice to meet you briefly. You're taller than i imagined, you must be 6'? I came away with another load of Wingleader books as recommended by you earlier this year. Please do a review of that little motorbike.

[@anj4de]

Hi Nigel...great video! My wishlist for reviews...1. The small 1/700 boat ;-) 2. The 1/32 Pfalz, you should also build that one! Last but not least, the Meteor book BUT...please review it while visiting the places around your place that you have pictures of in the book and show them then and now! That would be really great! cheers Uwe

[@iainmacdonald2025]

Thought the Tamiya cutters were the bees knees until I tried and bought the Godhand cutters at Scale Scotland earlier this year.

[@wolfpack8075]

I always like your videos, cheers from across the pond 😊.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Awesome, thank you!

[@johnwoodall3791]

Nice Video Nigel, Thanks for this information, much appreciated. Cheers..

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnwoodall3791]

@NigelsModellingBench Hello Nigel. A friend of mine in the USA sent me a 1/350 Timber Crafted Museum Quality USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier and it's Enormous, 40" Plus in length, I would love to try the Kit Firm when a 1/350 comes out, Have done the Enterprise and Constellation in 1/350 Plastic Kit Form and I was really happy with the Outcome. Keep Well.... All the Best.. Respectfully. John

[@emmabird9745]

The moral of the story then is remember to put some drinks in the car before you set out. Its a small world. My better half did over 30 years in that factory, and while I had no stake in Tornado, I have a bit in Typhoon from my time at Rotol as was. Is there a model club in Gloucester? It would be a bit of a leg from here in the Wye valley but there's nothing over here.

[@danielryan6711]

Nigel, could you tell me who makes the lancaster internal gunbay parts ? and I would love to see you build the copper state motorcycle.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

The resin turret internals for the HK Lanc are made bt HKM. They should be available by year end according to the main man, Neil.

[@danielryan6711]

@NigelsModellingBench oh, wow, that's unusual for hk. looking forward to seeing them.

[@Paul.A.Coppin]

I bagged a Airfix Walrus for £30. and a Trumpy 1/350 Yorktown for £60. Bought some bits from Brooks models, a good day. Burger was a tenner thou . Kept an eye for you Guys but it was really busy & some stalls i could`nt get near. I have the 1st AHH Sherman.

[@johnrycroft3906]

Nigel, I’ve just finished the Andy’s HHQ 1/16th Tiger. It’s a great kit. Except the tracks, but that’s my fault. Yes it’s Takom, but at least I didn’t burn it like I did my Das Werk Panzer 3. So happy you got to go to Telford and meet all your supporters.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for the info

[@johnrycroft3906]

One thing I forgot to mention. I found out whilst building the Tiger, there are no lengths for the tow cables in the instructions. It’s a shame as Tamiya give you specific lengths even on their 1/35 kits.

[@viking1236]

Pfalz review and build please. Oh you just said it!

[@soppdrake]

Nice haul! Please review the Postlethwaite book. It looks amazing.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Coming soon!

[@soppdrake]

​@@NigelsModellingBenchWonderful!

[@carlwhitfield5463]

Quite a haul there... you must have had to do same as me go out to car and drop off a few times..

[@kurtyoung5391]

Hi Nigel, greetings from Trinidad again. Great video. I'm thinking of getting Trumpeter's 1/35 TOPOL-M, what do you think of the kit and it's build ability.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

It's a beauty.

[@ZinzanModelling]

Dear Nigel, Good to see that you had a nice time there! You picked up some good treasures too! I couldn’t make it this year, but maybe next time… Regards, Z

[@NigelsModellingBench]

You really should go for it Zinners..

[@ZinzanModelling]

@ I may well do!!

[@ASaintinBabylon]

That was a great haul Nigel. Would like to see the Aviattik unboxed for sure 😮

[@markshellard5894]

Nice additions to the stash that 1/16 sherman

[@chriswebster3197]

Hi Nige, great video, thank you. Are you planning on finishing the R/C Sherman? You mentioned in your video that you used to machine combustion chambers/casings, are you ex Rolls Royce by any chance.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Eventually

[@otter1959]

I would love to see a review/build of the Takom Sherman!

[@Yves95128]

Hi Nigel, Beautiful kits, I'd love to see the Gerald Ford ( I'm really intrigued by that gigantic box for 1/700), Aviattic, the small British motorcycle, Velorex and I hope that you'll build that RFM King Tiger soon, that's going to be fun to watch. Good continuation👋🏻

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Huge box for a huge 100,000 ton ship!!

[@captngrinell]

What a great haul Nigel. Can we see the Pfalz D8 first.

[@delcatto60]

Pfalz D.VIII , Velorex and the motorcycle for reviews please. I am drooling over that Aviattic kit.

[@charliegrech4477]

Great to see you made Telford Nige,you’ve got some reviews to do ,definitely want to see a review on the Aviattic Thats a kit I’m definitely getting on the bench mate .

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Absolutely

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

Santa came over early because you’ve been a good boy Nige 😁 I’d love a review by you of that Aviattic model biplane if you can manage it. 😊

[@jerrydeanswanson79]

Hey Nigel. Hello from Wisconsin.

[@darrylmasters5032]

Would love to see that Aviattic review - seems almost wingnut wings in multi media

[@NigelsModellingBench]

It'll be up on Wednesday I think...

[@CrazyKitBuilder]

Telford was fun

[@robertmunoz7543]

Dont forget theres usually hourly rate motels for in a pinch stay just bring your own bed sheets!🤣 Jman

[@ColinSpratley-t3e]

Nige I have had 2 godhand cutters both broke at the tips in my opinion they are too brittle for anything but light sprue work you may have more luck I’m left handed and apparently left-handed people use more force than right-handed people so maybe that’s why the cutters broke

[@Damien-q8t]

Awesome haul Nigel....have u got the tamiya lit of the CVN -76 "U.S.S Enterprise"

[@NigelsModellingBench]

No, don't have that old dinosaur lol.

[@martyndemers1264]

Saw you there scurrying about you are taller than you look on screen 😂😂😂

[@darrylmasters5032]

ah shame I missed you and Luke (BRMX), my life has been too complicated to do IPMS this year....lol my red tube seems to be right length for 917K ...glad you got some stash mate it always happen! lol

[@tonygary7611]

👍👍

[@adriankennedy4099]

Off topic Nigel, just wondering what happened to your Scharnhorst build and the videos to date thereof? Guessing it's bad

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Still picking and poking at it...

[@steb4205]

Good haul Nigel! Is too late to nominate the M4A4? I love a Sherman

[@NigelsModellingBench]

The video is made and ready to go out my friend.

[@steb4205]

@@NigelsModellingBench Thank you, that makes me very happy!

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Nigel :That Sherman Easy with the Korean Shark mouth - Colin over at Festa67 Workshop built and made a video out of - if interested ?

[@philralph7036]

I'm a recent convert to the Godhands......year before last gained the Tamiya cutters, but now also have two of the Godhands. You'll never go back! Glad you enjoyed Teleford, it's been some time for me

[@sammy_dog]

Great haul there Nige You asked if we want to see a review of the Aviattic Pfalz D.VIII I do not want to see a review of that kit I want to see a full build of that kit it looks absolutely gorgeous

[@markoldreive]

Some nice kits there Nigel. My vote is for the 1/16 Sherman as I have one to build. 👍

[@andytrewin]

Hi Nigel, please PM me your email so I can go through the moulding we discussed on the North Somerset Stand before you went to get your drink. Kind Regards AndyT
