Building on a Budget Models
Великобритания
Добавлен 2 июл 2020
I'm Thomas, a scale model builder who (mostly) builds on a budget!
I set up BOAB Models to help share my scale model builds and to demonstrate some of the methods and materials which I use.
Building on a Budget means that I try to devise ways to help people progress in the hobby without spending a lot of money. Here you will find unboxings, reviews, builds, tips, tricks, history and walkarounds!
I don't have an airbrush, a hobby room and it's rare that I use expensive aftermarket sets.
Many of my Tips and Tricks videos show how you can use everyday items found at home to help your modelling.
Thanks for reading and happy modelling!

What was the free website to remove background on image? Which kind of waterslide paper should I use to put decals on a 1/32 slot car?
Beautiful work! What is that object you used to hold the body while you painted it?
Thank you very much! It was the Tamiya spray work stand. It's invaluable for painting cars.
Nicely done Thomas! A well detailed trailer. Most are fairly basic. Thanks for the review.
У вас на аватарке какое-то говно прилипло
I am trying to create some decals for a unique project, a 1/18 Minardi M193 Formula 1 car. I bought some white background waterslide paper by Green Stuff World company, but the white is kinda see-through, i need to place like 5 layers on top of each other to actually cover the color behind it. In this video, the white is covering the red of the overalls perfectly. Any chance you can recommend some good white decal paper from a european vendor?
I've certainly learnt a lot about trailer rules across Europe since making this video - thanks for all the comments! Whilst in the UK a trailer must use the same number plate as the vehicle towing it, that's not the case elsewhere.
Hi Thomas, super job and well explained. Trailers with double axle have a weighted class of their own so they have a separate number plate in Belgium.
New Zealand our trailers have there own number plates also. Think I'm goign to have to look out for this kit
Hi Thomas. I've got to say I wasn't really expecting much from this kit, but I'm very impressed with the quality. It looks exceptionally well detailed and you have built and finished it wonderfully! 👌 It does look wicked with the Landy and the 6R4 on it! Excellent build and video, thankyou , really enjoyed it. Best wishes Bobby
😍😍👌👌
🤜🤛
That's a nice model kit by Heller, not something I'd get but I'd expect it to be a popular model, and especially for diorama's etc, you did a fantastic job on it so well done, model on
Certainly not for everyone but thanks a lot, Sarah Jane. I'd love to do a rally support truck to tow along one of my Group B cars but I'm not sure the right vehicles are available in the right scale.
@@BOABModels Rather than a group B car why not use the Renault Alpine and the frnech van that Heller also make, that would look all in period. You can get a ford Transit van, ex ESCI model kit from the 70's, not a great kit though. model on
Actually very nice. I always thought about 30 euros was a lot for just a trailer. But seeing the number of parts and the detailing it makes a bit more sense. Btw, in the Netherlands trailers over 750kg also have their own numberplate
Thank you! That's interesting too, actually. I think in the UK you just display the plates of the car which is pulling it. Same with a caravan
Very nice work. Maybe I will build mine, because race car 😉. Our trailers come their own number plates, they're not related in any way with the towing vehicle. Though the driver must have a licence for towing.
Thanks! Ah, I didn't know that. Here on a standard license you can pull a trailer with a car but for heavier vehicles like vans, you need need an extra one to tow something.
Very nic. Very helpful.
Another cracker of a model! Beautiful finish, the paintwork really looks stunning. Very well done Thomas 👏 Really enjoyed this one! 👌😁
Wow Thomas! What a beautiful build, a really superb model and excellent representation of the real thing! I love how you add details, no matter how small and fiddly! It really makes a difference to the final result. Nicely done mate and looking forward to some great new builds in 2025! Take care 👊
Thank you very much! Very kind of you!
@@BOABModels 👍😁
As a Mini owner: great job!
Great work 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Neat Job...Would like to see Tamiya make a AUDI QUATTRO rallye car..🤗
Thank you! I know they made a road version back in the '80s. That one is very rare now.
Can the interior of the Renault ne different..Other than the Red??
Yes, there are also decals for a beige interior. I think the real car was also available with black or blue but there aren't decals in this set.
Superb job, enjoyed this video!
Very kind, thank you!
I'm in. Like to see the Lotus 97T
I had these as a kid T rex, triceratops, ankylosaurus my dad painted them all they were great!!!
I’m in…the habit to wish all my fellow builders a happy new year . Many happy builds and no issues 😅 Looking forward to a year of enjoying the channel Thomas. Good health to your family and you.
I remember playing this game and felt accomplished after unlocking that Supra
My son is working on his, we can’t find the metal pins for the wheel. Do we need to purchase those separately?
No, they should be included - sorry to hear you can't find them. If you definitely can't, contact Revell directly and they should be able to send you replacements.
I'm in. The best of luck for all your 2025 builds!
Bonjour, pouvez vous préciser quand vous dites a 0.55 secondes que vous avez mélangé du noir mat avec d’après la traduction des feuilles d’or ?? je ne comprends pas, merci de votre reponse
Great job - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Neil!
Good Tip !! TKS
Where do you get these kits?!
So this one was bought from Kent Models in the UK. They have a good range of Japanese brands.
What aluminium tape do you use and where do you get it from,great work,thanks Martin
Hi Martin. It's a plumbers supply aluminum tape which I bought from Amazon years ago. I can't remember the brand but I'm sure you'll be able to find some easily. I hope that helps.
Super Nice!!! Great attention to the details. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.
Thank you for watching, really appreciate it!
The quick release connector did not work on mine with any coupling and so had to change it. Also the paint cup is fiddly to fit and the lid is not a good fit.
Very nice attention to detail.👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I think you've done a fantastic recreation of the real car, the extra details really adds a lot, well done, look forward to the other two Mini builds now :) model on
Thanks so much, Sarah Jane. Now the 1967 one I have from Tamiya but I don't think the 1965 was ever produced and it's surprisingly different. Maybe closer to the '67 car so maybe with a bit of modifications it could be done.
Flawless build!
Very kind, thank you!
Really nice build. Looks brilliant 😊
Glad you like it! Many thanks!
Fantastic build great replica
Thanks so much!
Thank you for calling it the Union Flag. Superb build
Haha, you're welcome! I was not expecting that comment!
Check out the British Motor Museum's approximately 400 cars by booking tickets at www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk Thanks a lot for watching - also, the roof light should be black on the back! Whoops!
Did Dan race at 67 or what it just his team car?
This was the team he managed in the '90s. I think 1999 was their last year too.
0:40 Fun Fact : For what I can only assume was a cost-cutting measure, each bulb had one function on the taillight mainboard. So parking lights and brake lights were separate lenses. Only the front indicators are dual function.
Legendary🤌
Bonjour, pourquoi couper le nez de la carrosserie (a 2,06 minutes) ? peut être l’avez vous a expédié mais la traduction n’est pas complète 😅. merci
Je voulais avoir des panneaux de carrosserie amovibles comme la vraie voiture. J'ai donc ajouté cette découpe. merci pour votre question !
Salut my Friend super car Subscribe Subscribe ❤❤❤❤😊
Just started to this model (just from Směr as they are local) for skill refresh after 7 years of not building models. The junky "spoke" solution with glass insert for the wheel imminently caught my eye and made me hate it so much it was the first thing I got into and I made a simple slightly 3D shape of the spoke insert in Fusion 360, and 3D printed it via a small 0.2mm nozzle and I am really like how it turns out. Gonna try to use the alu foil for the exhaust too, never use it for anything and sounds good for it.
