Phil was right, seeing all those wonderful creations was inspiring just like watching your videos. Thanks for posting this.

[@bobbova8708]

Great to see Phil and yourself! Phil has an enthusiasm and a will to keep learning that is well served in our hobby, and watching him implore the viewership to " build something!" is one of the more fun and inspirational sayings out there. Also just discovering that as a producer Phil was involved with the U.S. Doctor Who tv film from the fox network and was also involved with Steven Spielberg's production company is really cool.I am looking forward to videos from both of your channels, sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for our great hobby, a huge Thanks! to both of you gentlemen!

Such an amazing guy for sure. Thanks Bob and I really appreciate your kind words.

That was a fantastic interview, Oggie. I love watching Phil's channel, but more interesting was learning a little about his career. You and Phil are two builders I'd really enjoy meeting. Keep up the great work. Cheers - Virgil

[@derekwhitaker4905]

Oggie I love this interview! Phil is just so passionate and energetic when speaking about our brilliant hobby! You can definitely tell he’s spent time here in the UK because the odd word or phrase comes out in a non American way now and again 😂 A total gentleman and extremely gifted. Thanks for sharing my friend 👊🏻

[@InterstellarModeler]

Very talented for sure

[@swpowell1226]

Sound for me was perfect. Great interview. I'm going to go to Wonderfest next year. I want to meet you guys.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Would be great to meet you as well. Thanks so much.

[@outsider238]

Don't worry about the sound. It's always difficult to record at those shows because they are very loud. The interview was fantastic and I'm enjoying your coverage of the show. Maybe I'll get to one of these someday and get to meet all of you.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thank you so much.

[@ianfleetwood8804]

Ever knew that spruverse Phil was the same Phil behind the 90's Dr Who tv movie. Another nice video which makes your wondrfest coverage so more enjoyable rather than looking at the sme images that other also post.

[@InterstellarModeler]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this

[@Tim-57]

I'm 72 years old I just moved to Norfolk Virginia. I'm redoing my entire shop bigger No easy task to say the least well not to serve 73. I've beenn my link since I'm about 12 years always been my spot to relax at the end of the day to calm down from all the. Excitement I was a display person at Bloomingdale for many years building. All the window displays which was great because I got to do modeling. I want to one scale and a miniature. And I could make projects on the side when I wanted to use the equipment there. Today companies don't care how long you're with the company they just want. You gone maybe a? Little. Bit? Better. But getting back into modeling? Is getting me back out of it again here in Norfolk Virginia? There's only one hobby shop sad to say but we have Hobby Lobby and Michaels too which is not much but better nothi do have. I? PMS down here but the clubs are very hard to get involved with because of the pandemic. I was a member of Brooklyn plastic models for 25 years so we have zoom meetings every Tuesday other than the week that we have the live meeting and that's the way I've been able to keep in touch with people. Just wish that there was more community down here working on it but people are a bit stand official of the hill. They welcome you in but they don't inform you what's not. It's a shame but I do the best that I can. Hopefully things will get brighter and I mean time I look forward to your videos. I've learned a lot and you've given me some inspiration for some things. I'm working on a shadow Box with the NX01 and a clean eye of volcanic ring ship in the background. As soon as shadow Box with about 2000 fiber optics to make the illusion of stars. When you look in the Box and then you move your head the wrong way. Can you get your little disoriented? But it works very well. I had one loss identified and I'm building a second 1 hope to have it done in about 2 months. Thank you much being there

Hey there...thanks for reaching out and for your compliment. I appreciate you watching and am glad you are finding my videos helpful. You should try reaching out to some of the facebook model communities. Starshipmodeler, Hobbylink International and Culttvaman are just a few among many. I know social media isnt for everyone but there is a positive side to it. You can interact with many who have this hobby in common. We're definitely out there. Hang in there and happy modeling. Send a pic to my email when you're done with your shadow box. It would be cool to see. Interstellarmodeler at gmail.
