Those tools do sound awesome. I have a similar drill that's powered by a couple of AA batteries, but it's a low-torque little gadget that barely manages with regular model styrene. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. The sanding gadget sounds very nice, too. I'll definitely look into it, as I have a lot of resin cast models waiting in the stash. I still need to get around to building something, though. I've been a bit lazy for the last few months! Good luck with the Thunderfighter! It sounds like an exciting build, for sure!

@@OstrichLongneck if you can’t find them, let me know and I’ll see if I can get you a link

LOL brilliant! I wish I'd thought of that before uploading the video! 10/10!!!

Thank you very much! Adding lights to a model is quite challenging at times, but it definitely makes a difference, especially with Sci-Fi models. Thanks very much for your kind comment! Much appreciated!

你是对的！我的错！

You're right, the pilot was way too big. I had to sand him down like crazy to squeeze him into the cockpit. Funny enough, the pilot I used in the Marauder fit much better. I guess the scales of these are way off.

Nice - the Ranger is definitely on my bucket list. Interstellar Modeler bought the files and 3D printed one recently, so I guess that's an option if you're lucky enough to own a 3D printer. (He didn't light it up, haha!) Good work on the Ranger, though! I'd love to see how it turns out! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Hi, thanks very much for checking out the channel and especially for subscribing! You are correct regarding the South African accent. My friend and I upload videos to the channel, and we live on the West Rand in Gauteng, quite close to you. We've just been a little quiet of late, but we'll be creating content again soon. I'm always glad to hear that I could help someone in some small way. Thanks again for the sub! Much appreciated!

@@OstrichLongneck hi there. That’s pretty awesome. I hope the channel is growing for you. I don’t actually live in Benoni anymore.. I actually live in England now and have done since 98. My grandfather on my moms side was in the RAF and was posted to Rhodesia and that’s how we all came to be in Africa. My folks moved to South Africa when I was about four. Once again, thanks for such a great channel to watch because it was really informative and I like that. I like learning new ways to make my diorama better. Take care of yourself and blessings to you and your family from the UK.

Thank you very much! This is probably my favorite model ever. It just fell together so easily and was a joy to build and paint. Thanks for your kind words!

LOL not to everyone's taste, I guess!

Solved: I connected the Darlington array to the 5v line instead of the vin (12v) line like the leds were. This made a difference.

Hi, apologies that I'm only replying after a month. Well done on finding the error for yourself, though. That was probably so frustrating, but I always view these little glitches as learning experiences. I originally made these videos while I was learning how to use the Arduino myself, and hoped that someone would find them useful in some way. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. It is much appreciated!

@@OstrichLongneck Thank you for allowing us to chime into the learning experience, it is still a lot of fun!

Thank you very much! Much appreciated! This is an amazing model kit.

Hi, welcome to the Arduino 😃 Did you check all of your connections? A common mistake is to use a split-rail breadboard, where the positive and negative rails are not continuous but spilt in half, so the power doesn't run through to the LED's. If you hold the board up to the light,. you can usually see if the positive and negative rows are continuous or broken into two. if they are broken, you would need to connect the two halves with small jumper wires. I hope this helps.

@@OstrichLongneck Thank you so much for the help. I think I now know what was wrong. I was using a bicolor LED with a Common anode. I think I need a common Cathode. Am I right?

@@msprague9223 Hi, yup, that's definitely the problem. Well done on figuring it out, though. I didn't think of that.

Если судить о правильности опознавательных знаков, то на этом самолёте должно быть 6 красных звёзд и бортовые номера. Этот самолёт не имеет никакого отношения ни к отдельно взятой Украине, ни к отдельно взятой Российской Федерации

Hi, it might be that the current from the power supply is too low. My go-to is a 12V 2A supply, as a 500mA supply seems to cause problems. Just a guess, though. I hope you managed to figure it out! Thanks for checking out the video!

Thank you for watching! Much appreciated!

LOL thank you so much. This one went straight to the roof, and is hanging right next to the Valkyrie!

Wow ​@@OstrichLongneck

Thank you very much for watching. You are much appreciated!

Hi, no, sorry. I'm a total noob with the esp32. I haven't had any experience with it.

@@OstrichLongneck Hmm okay, do you know which pins (miso mois etc.) from the arduino uno were connected to the attiny85 ? I always get the not in sync error (failed to erase device)

It's truly an awesome kit, and a dream to build. I think you're really going to enjoy this one! Thanks very much for watching!

Thanks very much, Stephan 😁I'm glad it was useful. No, you don't need to restore any settings, unless you're programming a different type of chip. The Arduino will reset the required defaults and work normally the next time you upload a sketch to it.

Hi :-) I have managed to light up 6 white LEDs on one pin of an ATTiny before, but they weren't very bright. I connected them in a parallel circuit (all the positive legs connected together in a string and all the negative legs to each other) using a 5V power supply for the ATTiny.

@@OstrichLongneckyour video motivate me and after consulting my father in law who is a self taught person at many levels I will use the Attiny85 just for the signal and run the led's thru 2N2222 transistor. Thanks again for all your videos, there's a long road ahead of me withe the enterprise but love every minute of it.

@@viki7110 That's an excellent idea. That way you won't overload the ATTiny. Your father in law is very clever. Good luck with the Enterprise. I have a TOS, refit and NX01 all in 1:350 scale, but I don't have the courage to build them. I don't know why, exactly. Good luck with your build. I'm sure you're going to do an excellent job with them!😀👍👍👍

Hi, apologies for the late reply. Connecting to an external 5V supply will work perfectly. The capacitors are just there to smooth out the current across the voltage regulator, but not necessary from a 5V supply. Thank you for watching!

@@OstrichLongneck great, thanks!

Thank you kindly 😁

That is so awesome 🙂I'll bet you're really proud of your dad. The XB-70 was a magnificent feat of engineering! Thanks for visiting our channel!🙂

@@OstrichLongneck politics got in the way of it

I have been a lazy modeler lately! Need to get back to the bench! Thanks for checking out the video! Much appreciated!

You and me both lol

LOL I could not resist 😂😂😂

You are so correct! A razor saw would have been ideal for the job. I wish I had thought of using one. I think I'll be using them exclusively with clear parts from now on😁. Thanks for the great tip!

She's definitely a big, beautiful aircraft! And the Trumpeter kit is really good. I normally prefer the painting and weathering stages of models, but I actually enjoyed building this one, too!

Thank you so much! It's a fantastic kit to build - probably one of my favorite builds ever! It just fell together! Thank you for your kind words, and dropping in for a visit! Much appreciated!

@@OstrichLongneck One question? what speific paint brand should i get for my TU-160n model?

@@timham450 I used Mr Hobby lacquers. They have a whole bunch of whites and off-whites to create a bit of color variation, and don't need a base coat. I used mostly C316 (almost 3 bottles!) and tried to break it up by painting some panels with C69 and C311. It looks a lot better in real life - the camera didn't quite pick up all the different shades.

Thanks very much! To be honest, the lighting was a pain in the rear! Plus, I had heaps of light leaks. Your starfighter was shaping up nicely in the last video you posted. I'm pretty sure you did a decent job with it in the end! Thanks for stopping by, you are much appreciated!

@@OstrichLongneck Thanks again. I really should find the video files and make the finish edit of the kit. Hopefully by this winter... :)

Nice 🙂 To fly anything would be a dream come true for me. Alas, my eyesight let me down! So props to you, I have heaps of respect for anyone who can handle an aircraft of any size! I truly think one would need brass ones to fly the Tu-160, though! She's one powerful bird! Thanks for stopping by and sharing, I really enjoyed your comment! 😀

Thank you very much! I see Natie was the lucky recipient of a Chevy Impala on your channel! The rusty junkyard was a fun diorama to make! Thank you for your kind words! They are much appreciated!

@@OstrichLongneckThose 2 videos are coming up this week and next. I hope you will tune in for them. I want to make more of those Master Box figures now. I try and see which ones you have done on your channel.

@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage I've clicked the bell to make sure I don't miss them! I'm a big fan of Master Box figures. You can't go wrong with them. I have the whole Skull Clan series, too. It's a pity they're 1:35, though. They would look great with that Impala!

@@OstrichLongneckFor sure. It's like the figures from ICM - I want to get a whole bunch of the 1910 series, but there's all the 1/35th scale figures that would add to them, but ICM doesn't make them all in 1/24th scale. - also, it would be awesome if Mini Art scaled up their massive 1/35th scale accessories kits to 1/24th. Barrels, metal lathes, grocery carts...that would be awesome!

@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage So true! ICM is in a class of their own, though. Their details are magnificent. It's so true what you said about the scales, though. I, for one, would love to create 24-scale dioramas with heaps of figures and accessories! There just aren't much of them, unless one goes over to the dark side an invests in a 3D printer, I guess 😒

Thank you, I never noticed! 😁👍

Thank you kindly 🙂 The F-35 is way ahead of its time, a real beauty! Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment! You are much appreciated! 😀👍

As a kid, I would have been in heaven if I had this kit! They are prohibitively expensive on eBay, and the guy I bought it from stiffed me with the shipping, too! That said, it's a fun, easy kit to build and a good size, too. I hope you can find one that's more reasonably priced, as I'm sure you would enjoy putting it together. Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment!

Thank you very much! It was my ultimate kit, too. So much so, that it took 5 years for me to build up the courage to build it. I almost died of fright when I cracked the canopy during the build. Thank you so much for watching and taking time to leave a comment! Much appreciated!

Thank you so much 😁 A lot more scratch-building than I'd bargained for, but it was a fun build!

I felt the same way about the Starfighter. It's one of those models that I'd rather dream about building than actually build. But eventually I said, what the heck, at the end of the day it's only plastic 😀 But I know exactly where you're coming from 🙂

Thanks very much 😃 This was a lot of fun to build. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours too!

Thank you so much, Oron. It was a real puzzler when it came to lighting her up. And then I accidentally stepped on the canopy with my fat foot! Fun times! Thank you very much for stopping by, and God bless! 😊

Thank you 😁

Hi Alon, thanks so much 😁I was surprised that the UV resin worked as well as it did. It sanded down almost seamlessly and was easy to re-scribe. LOL, if poor Hawk had Kiwi bird genes they would have had to cast Danny de Vito in a Penguin-esque version! I didn't know you are a fellow Southern hemispherian 😁 Thanks so much for dropping by! Much appreciated, as always!

Thank you very much 😁The CA glue and baking soda is also an excellent suggestion. I've used it extensively in previous builds, like the Terminator and Hawk-IX builds. It works brilliantly. Have you tried UV-resin on photoetch? It changed my life, LOL. I'm just kicking myself that I didn't try Milliput instead of the UV resin on this model. It would have saved me hours of sanding and shaping. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment! Much appreciated! 🙂👍

Thanks very much 😁 I stumbled on this one by accident a few years ago. It was a fun challenge to build! Thanks so much visiting! 🙂👍

Thanks, Travis!

Thanks very much Elliot. It was an interesting build!

Thanks, Mark! It was a fun challenge! Thanks for looking in! Much appreciated!
