Last week we were sad to announce the ban on Tamiya Spray Cans in Canada. The sprays that affected people the most were the primers. We would like to suggest a less odourous alternative to lacquer based spray primers.

Awesome builds everyone.
I wish I could have made it but I was busy last night. Next time!
For sure, always glad when you can make it Evan!
I built the Ferrari Testarossa and Ferrari F40...incredible museum pieces.
@@johnmessina9721 Great stuff. Would you share some pics with us?
Thought this was going to be a dry subject but found it extremely interesting and informative .Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the feedback, it helps shape our content.
Just the precise info. Excellent!
@@nicoghini thank you 🙂
Thanks, very informative
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the tip on pronouncing Pocher!
@@hobcen no worries!
I prefer the shorter version of the 917K without the two fins. The one Steve McQueen Nr.20 was driving in the Movie (Le Mans) from 1970 In Le Mans: Steve McQueen's role model was Jo Siffert. RIP
I think all model builders accept and to a degree enjoy a certain amount of challenge, but some of these kits are an order of magnitude more insane. Not for your average model builder.
Those old ones were extreme. Given the numbers of people who could, and were willing, to take them on plus the hobby's shift to "Ready to Run" it is no wonder the company stopped and when reinvented, made simpler manageable kits.
Very interesting kit and scale. I didn't think they had tools that small back then. A very niche market, probably limited addition. Thanks for sharing something completely different. Cheers Bob.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!
Was that macross?!! 😮😮
Yep! Awesome kits, they transform between the different modes!
Hey Bill, Wow, better stock up on those for Santa, its a winner. Ironically it reminds me of the great Mattel toys you could get in the 50 and 60's. Have a great weekend Cheers Bob
Hi Bob, this is fun for me! I don't always get to see how the things I sell perform and I LOVE it when folks bring by their toys to share with everyone! I foresee a local meeting of anyone who wants to play with their RC tanks and do combat with one another. Stay tuned!
Does it shoot BBs?
From what we can determine, it does not.
Lots of fantastic builds, the Bronco Diorama is cool, lots of details. Sharp looking Covette near the end.
Thanks 👍 The Bronco is by the fellow that won Modelers Choice at the 2024 OSAC Contest.
Amazing builds again this month. Kudos to the Ottawa Model Car Group!
Nice job everyone. Some nice work on some of those bases as well.
Hey Bill I've been noticing a lot more automobile models lately, these are great builds. A lot of work goes into those surface finishes. That Citreon looks very creative. Its tempting to switch over for a couple of good old AMT kit builds just for something different. I seem to recall they were about $3.50 back in the day. Cheers from a rainy Pacific Northeast, Bob
Thanks Bob. The Car guys do show and tell and talk about techniques and share ideas about how to do auto modelling. The other groups are build sessions and I really should get them to do some show and tell so I can share their work with everyone. It's all about sharing and inspiration. We should hook you up with Russell out there in WA state!
People who say Porsch-e are pretentious or German take you pick.
ultrakill
Why does the Mr. Cement SP (purple cap) can't stick on to clear plastic sheet? It doesn't do anything at all. Did I use it wrongly?
I wasn't aware of an issue with that. Let us look into and get back to you. Is that clear plastic parts (windows, canopies etc.) or clear plastic like acrylic?
Will have to pick some up to try! Thanks for the vid…fyi, the camera wasn’t focusing in on your close ups of the marker tips or what you applied to the Bronco paint mule. Looked like good result and easy to use just the same!👍
Yeah I caught that in editing. It may be my workshop is too cramped to do videos in. Just like modelling, I (hopefully) learn and get better with practice! Thanks for watching.
@ Not easy to get it right all the time in modelling or videos! Thanks for doing the vids!
You see a lot of U Tubers showing you with all the hard work in building and details let it all down at the end with the paint finished model and you can see the camera picks up the paint finishes really well and you see many times that the paint didn't level itself plus they are not using enough thinners and wrong pressure , you see that pebble look that is too rough and out of scale. Painting is a whole seperate skill outside model construction building that you need to master and practice. You need to learn the different ratios of paint, thinner , air pressures , needle sizes for different results to achieve in scale and leveled out paint finishes . What you are able to tell, is many of these people are not using the " Leveling Thinners" , they use the normal thinners and it's drying too quick as it is coming off the air brush . Then paint won't level out and you see the micro dots spray patterns on the finished results thats picked by the camera . You really must use leveling thinners it could be that most people are finding it hard to buy so just using normal thinners .There is also Mr Hobby replenishing agent thinners in the 400 size .
Very good points and things modelers need to take into consideration. Thank you!
Sorry if I missed it Bill, but are these gloss or flat?
You didn't miss it, I didn't mention. They're gloss, the black certainly was. I was painting gloss white over gloss white paint. Good catch, sorry I didn't say it in the video!
Hey Bill, always appreciate the testing of new products. As you know i'm mainly an aircraft builder and I can really see these pins useful for cockpit detailing and those yellow prop tips. I typically tape them off and depending on scale hand paint or spray paint with a rattle can getting yellow out of an airbrush is tedious. Something like Tamiya or Humbrol work best. Hand painting is hard because yellow is different and can result in a different thickness. This could also be helpful for crew members I have acquired some Das Werk 1/16 scale figures for future builds and they have a lot of detail too. Now I'm surprised to see a Canadian Cowboys Fan in Canada :-) I moved to Pacific Northwest in 2016 from Dallas but haven't joined the Seahawks culture. Hope all is well , Model On and Cheers, Bob
Hi Bob, thanks for watching and your support. I wasn't sure about the Real Color markers but figure I'll test some of them next. I have been really liking the Dspiae ones so far. Yellow is on my list of Dspiae to try! I'll let you know how it goes. Dallas, yeah been a fan for nearly 50 years. Tough sledding these days. Last few seasons fooled me into thinking they were on a good path but yeesh!
Definitely will add to my Arsenal.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
u have to build this?? frig that
@@peterago1082 If you want this car in this scale, maybe the only option?
This would be like a perfect project for me, as I don't have the skills to paint a model and I feel like buying an assembled model is cheating. If I had the money, the space and weren't living in a 3rd world country, I'll buy this in a heartbeat.
There's no microsol vs microset argument. You have to use them together. They're literally made to be used together.
We weren't going for a "one or the other" argument, more of "what do they do". Sometimes one will do the job. But when you have those tricky applications....
Just got mine last week, still sealed in the box!!!
Please send photos!
A little tip for you open the bottom of the outer box fold the flaps back and lift it off the kit box !
Incredible model! Definitely beyond my skills!
It is so well engineered and pre-decorated I think you could make a very good model out of this one!
ruclips.net/video/v4f9DJhPYAs/видео.htmlsi=MfLbbuzAtvikltyC I guess we’ve been pronouncing Pocher wrong all these years! From Pocher’s own feed! “pocker” it is then!😅
Thanks for that, man I really blew it, I have been pronouncing Porsche wrong for decades as well!
@@hobcen you and me both! Lol
Nice that no painting is required
It is a stunning piece and I have been told there are after market upgrades available to go to that extra level of detail. I believe the purchaser is getting some of those, perhaps he'll let us do a feature on them as well.
It’s big and not RC? What a waste.
Right? LOL
Years ago I almost pulled the trigger on their Lamborghini Aventador kit. Would’ve loved to have been able to build it. This one’s a beauty too!
They are amazing!
This looks more like one of those D'argento model kits that you get as a subscription and you put together with screws.
I get you. Those things get pretty pricey too when you total up all the components.
Incredible model! My favorite race car ever. Thanks 🎸🔪
It's a beauty! I'm so glad I got to check it out!
why in a 10 minute video does it take nearly 8 mins to get to the main event ,likes his own voice
But we're cutting into the box at 1:40?
Well I like his voice and if I didn't I'd turn the volume down, you should try it sometime it's better than getting your knickers in a twist over it and being rude.
I have the Pocher Bugatti, Alfa and Lotus in 1/8 and the Ducati in 1/4. The Lotus and Ducati are toys whereas the other 2 are 50 year old classics and brilliant. That Porsche is also toy-like and (in 1/8) is seriously lacking detail. I have already bought detail-up bits for the 2 'toys' and compiling a list of other detail additions.
Thanks for sharing!
Why the Heck every American or Canadian says "Porsch*???? It's a Porsch"e", so please say it german. Porsche is the Name and not Porsch. Thx.
Just the way we roll I guess, no offense intended. Is the the phonetic "portia"?
Yes, it is phonetically Portia …. So please try to say Porsche correctly …. And Jaguar is Jag u ar…. Not Jagwah….. it’s nice to get the pronunciation right. I was an agent for Pocher models … they were good but not great… lots of badly engineered / fitting parts but I’m sure they are much better now. It took quite a while to fettle the kit to get it to fit together
I’m English and I say Porsche (without the er). I also say Nike (without the ee, like bike).
@@jeremyhards1911 ok, it's up to you, but remember. The Word is a german Name and not an english Brand.
your Name is Jerem*e", not Jerem........right?
Round shekels?
You mean deckels? A lot of us in Canada pronounce it that way but we're learning you all prefer deekals. :)
Yuge!!!😂 Now try getting everything back in the box!! Like putting toothpaste back in the tube!! 😂 I always wanted one of the ol vintage cars with all the separate spokes for the wheels! Fabric upholstery!! Etc.. gotta have a big man cave for a model like that!!👍🏻😬🫡🇺🇸
It all went back surprisingly easy. It is so well packed and everything is security taped up. Those old beasts were amazing, this newer simplified type kit is much more straight forward.
Hey Bill, what a huge amazing kit, thank you and your customer for sharing it. I must say I was surprised to here you reference the Duesenberg, not many people remember that automobile. It was actually made in Indianapolis IN. Years ago Monogram made some beautiful kits of several of the different type cars . One of those in 1/8 scale would be incredible. Of course like the old saying goes if you have to ask How much it cost you can't afford to buy it - but you never know I could put in on my Santa Claus list :-) Hope all is well, Cheers Bob
All is good! I was very happy to do this reveal, it might be the only time I ever hold something like this in my hands! I sold some of the Duesies when Pocher stopped producing and the prices were lower. They had thousands of parts. Every nut bolt and screw, every spring, sew your own upholstery and convertible tops (where applicable) and those 1/8 spoked wheels that you spoked yourself. OMG! I built a Monogram one decades ago, it was very nice! Take care
Are you kidding? You ever hear of Jay Leno? If so, then you and his million subscribers know Duesenberg - he won't let us forget. He used to show up Sunday AMs at Autobooks here in Burbank with the green one all the time. 👀
That is one wicked kit! Thanks to the owner who let us see it.
I want to see him put it all back in!
@@rochgraveline5942 It all went back in flawlessly. It's that good! 😊
Okay, so I am late to the laquer paint party and want to know what you clean your airbrush with if using these products.
Tamiya Air Brush Cleaner, Mr Hobby Tool Cleaner are two that hobby stores carry. I use Lacquer Thinner from the paint or hardware store. Use all safety precautions when using these chemicals!
@@hobcen Thank you so much for your help sir.
Wish kind of Thinner can I use for Mr. Color C1 Gloss White 10ml
@@gordongriffith9047 For the best gloss finishes use Mr Color Levelling thinner or Tamiya Lacquer Thinner, Retarder type. You want a slower drying time for the paint to lay on smoothly.
Wish Thinner is better to use mr metallic paint
When in doubt use the "smell test". You can typically tell by the smell whether it is lacquer - use Mr Color Thinner or Mr Levelling Thinner, if it smells of Alcohol, use the thinner for Aqueous paints. I have also heard of modelers thinning lacquer based metallics with Mr Rapid Thinner as it keeps the metallic effect more even because of the fast drying.
Nicely done, Bill. I have to try them next.
Excellent book!!!
Thanks Bill, I've been wondering why I haven't been able to make these panel line and wash products works. I now know where I have been going wrong, I'll get another " paint mule" out of the stash and give it a go. Cheers Bob
Always happy to help Bob!
