Painting a late war Corsair
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Everything was progressing well with the Okinawa Corsair build until I experimented with a new paint and a new paint-scratching technique. And boy did I fail! However, this failure allowed me to fix some issues with the model, try some other finishing techniques and save the build.

Can a $3 paint panel be made into an attractive model base?
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.11 месяцев назад
A nice model base frames and provides context for your model. A great start can be had for as little as three dollars and some inexpensive supplies! This was a fun project and I took a risk with static grass to kick it up a notch. In a previous video, I used a LONGER RAY5 laser to make the information 'plate' on this base. Very easy to do. How I did it: ruclips.net/video/kM07S9RIkFc/видео.html ...

This laser engraver makes sharp model bases

So, I've got to hand it to LONGER: If this newbie can make something decent, then anyone can do it, and do it quickly! To see and buy the RAY5, clic...
Is the Magic Factory Corsair better than Tamiya? Let's compare and find out!

I've been asking for a new 48th scale Corsair for years. Don't get me wrong, the Tamiya kit is excellent, but it has a few build issues and could use a refresh. In this video I compare the mid 1990s Tamiya Corsair with the band new Magic Factory kit. Who is going to come out on top?

How contests will improve your models and your hobby enjoyment.
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
Most modelers will never enter contests or go to shows. But they are missing out. The show is a great place to get tips, get ideas and maybe a cheap kit or two. Most importantly, these are places where like minded people congregate - so take advantage! You won't regret it. Hesitating on entering the contest? Yeah, I get it. But contest building will improve your skills and your models. Join me ...

    Just catching up on this video now after the Holiday madness. Definitely a different type of model. Reminds me of the old "Working V8 engine" that's been around since I was a kid, but this one is orders of magnitude ahead in quality of course.

      I share this sentiment. Amazon has a scale v8 engine that actually runs with gasoline (for RC cars) and its 80 bucks, and 160 if you want to add a supercharger. 400 bucks for an electric turning one is a little wild.

Using Sheet Plastic or The Sprue trees whittled down and cut glued into place! To Fill a Gap… In addition for myself personally I use Superglue or automotive Bondo…..Bondo unlike putty Will not shrink …But as it sets you have to “shape” it into place… If your into Putty and all that Sanding Great! Oh yeah, as you Glue parts together do so in Small sections and make sure you get a Good Glue Bead that comes out of the seam in the first place…. That my Friends will Eliminate Any Need to fill anything!!! Blessings Darrell USA
