Scale Modelling 101 : Basics of Scratchbuilding
Nice metal slug music lol.
Hey Bill, You sure do have some great model builders up there, and one YANK from Idaho.. That's some incredible detail on those engines. I didn't think anyone was alive who remembers what carburetors are. Makes me want to give an old AMT get a go. Hope all is well in Canada. Cheers , Bob Haltom
We're good sir! Thanks as always for watching and your support.
Hi can rapid thinner dillute with mr retarder to achieve glossier surface? Im wrongly bought it, thanks in advance
Rapid thinner is best for achieving flatter finishes. Adding Mr Retarder might bring it back to being similar to regular Mr color thinner? Experiment with various mixes on something you don't care about before going to your current project.
Thanx
Thanks, very good information.
Is this available in the EU?
Aliexpress
Can you lubricate the launch guide so the rocket slides off of it better when it launches?
Baby powder is a wonderful dry lubricant for parachutes, nosecones and anything that needs to glide smoothly. Try some of that. If your rocket is still having issues, consider installing bigger launch lugs. They can be made by plastic drinking straws, plastuct and other brands of plastic tubing.
@@hobcenthank you! I’ll try that.
Hey Bill, Interesting RC kits, that hobby has advanced so much technology wise, I bet they fly or drive right out of the store. They would certainly make great early Christmas buys for Christmas. Your team should try the drones and use them occasionally to show the shop or cover those great parking lot sales. You know I'm always watching , I'll be sure to check them out. Good luck and Cheers, Bob
Thank you as always for your kind words Bob. You're right, we should do more with our drone. We'll keep it in minds for future presentations. Cheers, Bill
Do you mean DE CALS????
Isn't that what I said? ;)
Robots????? 😮
Blasphemy 😱
I don't think the home insulation is a good idea. It litters the field and may be harmful to animals. I'm not crazy about using glitter either.
Definitely things to keep in mind while launching rockets.
I have heard in more than a few places that 'Deluxe' isn't actually *meant* to be used as an adhesive (despite it saying as much on the bottle), but more as a (small) gap filler. My own experience seems to back this up, as (not knowing that) I've used it on a lot of custom additions to Gunpla kits, and even months later the added parts (also polystyrene, same as the kits. not the ABS plastic they use for some parts) just fall right off with barely any force. S, while having an almost non-existant working time, actually holds... in most cases. SPB would be neat to use, as I don't do many straight builds. But nobody around here carries it.
Thank you for sharing your experience with everyone!
I've built quite a few of these. Detail, pretty good. Strength of parts, not so good. In the end, they are big 1/72 scale vehicles that are difficult to display. Price point for what you get? Excellent.
Good explanation thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Bill, always great to see these showcase videos and watch what folks build. Kind of makes me want to dust off one of my ancient AMT kits and bring it back to life. The Mini Cooper was interesting. . Oh, and the garage in back really adds to turn table. BTW, my last purchase from last auction - the PBY, really a good kit, Can't wait to start it. Cheers to you and Team, Bob
Thanks Bob, our goal is always to inspire modelers. Apologies on some of camera work I did, I'm always trying to make these things better.
@@hobcen Hey Bill, I think they look good, camera technology has changed since I was in the game.Depth of focus (DOF} and " f " stop = lighting through the lens. On a digital movie camera, like Go Pro, it may be trying to auto focus on a revolving field of view which may briefly be affecting the focal point. You could try turning off auto focus to experiment if the camera has that function. Plus the models vary in size, but you can't help that. However I think your fine no complaints on this end. Cheers Bob
Some interesting looking boxes are interrupted by a few brief close-up photos.
thanks for your feedback, we'll see if we can augment this somehow.
You don't know how to make a bad video
thanks, we do all right for the local hobby shop trying to share in the hobby community. Appreciate your watching and feedback :)
How about including it in actual use. Show if it works or is just a gimmick.
We just might do that. This particular one was a loaner from a customer who kindly let us examine his. Stay tuned!
Keep it up guys
thank you
I only just found the channel, mate more, please.
Welcome! Thank you, we have more in the works. Anything you would like to see covered? regards Bill
I love going to these events, I don’t know what I’ll find but I always walk away with something interesting! I picked up a kit from The Last Exile
Great video and great explanation. Finally my doubts have been cleared! Thanks!
You need more of these chats.
Yes, we'll have to get the band back together. Thank you for the encouragement!
The only hard part is spelling it when searching the store catalog. Dspiae, Dspiae, Dspiae ....
Hey BILL, I've been thinking about one of these, just had never seen them in action. Didn't know if it would work as a supplement to a Dremel. . What are you folks selling them for over in Canada, I haven't checked them out over here in Pacific Northeast yet . My PBY is almost about to touch down in Puget Sound. Cheers to you and the Hobby Centre Team. Bob
They're $70 Cdn. I'm going to post comments from the fellow who bought it as to how he likes it.
@@hobcen thanks Bill I'll be standing by. Cheers, Bob
What’s the battery life look like on the tamiya?
Depends on what battery you use and how you run it, Usually runs for around an hour if you're using a larger NIMH Battery.
@@hobcen awesome, an hour is great. There’s a lot more to this hobby than I imagined, it can be quite overwhelming.
Sick 👍
Do you need to primer the model first?. Do you need a base color with gloss black? or is it that simple that you can just spray it onto any surface or color
I spoke with one of the lads in Ottawa Model Car Group who uses this product. He said no need to prime unless you're spraying over resin. He doesn't use gloss black or similar to enhance the "chrominess"
@@hobcen Thank you for getting back to me, I just ordered 2 cans.
Henglong sucks. Tamiya is the best. Henglong is nothing but depleted cheapy version of Tamiya. Henglong never study real Tanks and they produce cheapy toys.
One of our customers has both. He says "for the money" Henglong has a lot of good features. Agreed, Tamiya is a scale model manufacturer so their attention to detail is better.
Hey Bill, nice kit review, I bet your armor customers are super excited about these 1/16 scale kits. As a long time builder of aircraft its hard to imagine an aircraft model that big. The detail would be off the chart. Always enjoy keeping up with the activity happening at Hobby Centre. Cheers Bob.
Hey Bill, Sure wish we had those way over here in WA, looked like a great turnout I think I even saw some goodies on my future buy list. The folks under the tree had a lot of goodies. Glad it went well. Cheers Bob
Great flea market again this year. Actually spent more in the store than outside this year, but I managed to get a very obscure kit that I will be able to do 'things' with, and I found a few decals I was looking for that I will be using in my current build. Looking forward to the Armoury show already.
So could i make my own levelling thinner if i just mixed regular thinner with retarder? If so what would the ratio be?
Great question! I know when you add retarder to paint, you should not exceed 10 per cent. If you're thinning your paints say at 50, one might try 5 per cent as a first test? Perhaps one of our viewers can weigh in.
@@hobcen ok thank you. My local shop is out of leveling thinner but it's my preferred option so I wanted to see
Thanks for this - really helpful 👍
Where in the world are you? Doesn't do much good to tout your store on RUclips without including that detail...
www.hobcen.com
Ah, kind of distant for me,. I'm in Arizona.
We are looking forward to the swap meet this Sunday. Are you still collecting kits to give to the veterans?
Paul Bornn has a spot and is always willing to accept kits for the Vets.
Thanks Bill. You are amazing!
Thank you!

GERMANS ARE AT IT AGAIN!!!
Great video! Thank you!
nice vid, sir. Can I ask, what oil based enamel matte spray would you recommend that is a duller than Rustoleum's painters touch 2x ultra cover matter clear but not entirely flat.either?
I don't know of anything like that. If you have access to an airbrush, Alclad makes some of their clear coats in oil base, one I really like is called Clear Cote Light Sheen which is a matte but with just the hint of sheen, way less than a semi gloss.
