Hey, Gary. I have been watching your posts for a long time - as, unbelievably, has my wife, who only sees my modelling as my way of not being with her. In fact, we have actually spent lovely winter evenings watching your videos on our projector, laughing and enthralled in equal measures. I just wanted to say that your skill and easy humour has given me (and clearly a lot of other people) a lot of pleasure. Although I enjoy the technical slideshow presentations, please. For God's sake. Post a video. I'll send you a crate of beer... Davis.
Blimey Gary ! what good eyesight you have !!! Miss your shed vlogs ! Any chance at all of you resuming transmission or has life made that unlikely Cheers Norm
I would love if you started making videos again, specifically the long-form talking videos about what you’re working on. I would be willing to support on Patreon if it were available. Hope all is well.
Gary, I don't know why, but I don't get ant notice of your vids being put up. To this vid all I can say is, it hurt my eyes just watching! WOW! That's small and packed with detail,I'd be blind and pissed off if I attempted anything like this. Great build, very different camo, excellent work.
I don t usualy use net trafic on my telephone... buy a vídeo from Gary??? Hell yeah!! Now... you are JUST SHOWING OFF RIGHT?? beautiful work Gary!!! Perfect!!
Thank you Alex. It had been a wee while since I dabbles in the nano scale - especially with extra detailing - so this was a nice wee (wee being the operative word) change. I actually have a few other 1/144 kits in the stash that have photoetch sets for them as well as vacform canopies and resin engines. Mental!
Keep checking to see if you are back with us, really miss your superb model making skills and chat from the man cave. You were an inspiration to me for my model making. I do hope you are keeping well and life is being good to you. Take care, stay safe...
Well now, you see that is just my luck. Stumble onto a youtube channel that looks like I would like. Check out some in the middle line up and say “wow….I like this guy and his work, He has my kind of wit to boot!” Than go to the beginning of the videos. Get hooked (even call in sick to work to binge watch.) Then get to the last video and find it was uploaded 2 years ago…… Now what???? looks like withdrawal or lots more single malt. Anyway, love your work, wit, man cave, presentation and choice of beverage. Hope all is well. Come back soon.
Well done, my love. That Messerschmitt feels like so long ago... I remember going through this build with you. Very proud of your exquisite work on this, sweetie. xxxx
I cannae wait for the new ISM mag to come out...and to see this in print with what you've written. People must be wondering about when it'll be published!!
Superb stuff Gary. So pleased to see some videos from you again. Dunno of my eyeballs could cope with that scale. The photo etch parts look ridiculously fiddly. You did an amazing job mate.
Cheers, Tom. Uhm... yeah... that little bit next to the cocktail stick...? Never made it into the build, pinging off into oblivion....I didn't even bother looking for it... hehehe.
Great to see you back Gary!! looking forward to your extremely entertaining shed talks. As i said before.. you have a great style in your vlogs, kind of unrehearsed, yet still to the point and entertaining. Bring it on!!
Thanks, Nige. I'm just putting a few of these montage type vids to get everyone caught up with finished builds before I re-unleash myself upon the masses again.
So how many swear words did you use in the making of this kit? Im thinking you can get that WingNut Wings Felixstowe Duellists with the proceeds of the swear jar ;) beautiful work as always.
Glorious work. Your blending of kit and PE and paint is extraordinary. It's also a good thing you have a booming great micro lens on your picture-taker-machine. Well (its) Done 😁👍👍👍
And yet, I noticed I still have too shallow a depth of field which considering the overall size of the model, is a slap on the hand for me! I had to make sure of this when photographing the A-10 (coming soon)!
Stunningly nano! Just one question, how do you apply what I assume must be CA glue to the backs of the harnesses/other teeny tiny details if even a toothpick point dwarfs the details?
I have the thinnest strand of wire that witll self support imbedded in a blob of blu-tak. I dip the end in the CA glue and use it as an applicator. Works best with the thicker glues, but because it's such a small amount, you kinda have to be quick to get the part in place before it dries. Can be quite frustrating at time. hehehe... :)
Nice one Gary, I miss your shed talks. Any chance of doing them again? Great skills demonstrated on this model and heaven only knows how you managed to build those tiny wee pieces into a very good quality BF-109. I hope that you have a great weekend my friend, Joe
Thanks much, Joe. :) Because there was such a long time that passed, I thought I would make a few of these montage type videos to show what I have finished over the last year - yes, it's been a year! Once I've done that, I'll do a cave show, as it were. I just thought if I had tried to tell you all about them, then that video would have lasted about 4 hours! They're usually long enough as it is! :)
MakingModelsAgain.... Long time....LONG TIME!? The last time was just when my ever pleasant Norse ancestors, started with their raping, burning and pillaging....😉😄
Welll.... funny you should say that, but my partner has been researching my genealogy and as it turns out, I've got a bit of Thor in me myself! I won't say what bit...
Micro surgery and masterful skills yield a magnificent model. Beautiful work Brother. Bill PS: Don't inhale too deeply, you may lose an landing gear. Hahaha.
Time for some shed nostalgia....hope that all is well at your end of the bar....shed, I mean shed....barkeep, another one ples....plie....plei....darn it! 🍻
That's just....*large swig of rum*....absolutely #@&%§§%&@# phenomenonal work....pour yourself a larg....massive one, you deserve it mukka! That's it, I'm taking up knitting....again!
Alas, the house is bereft of any spirits at the moment, so I'll have to pass on that but there is a cheeky, wee Shiraz there with my name on it, so I'll crack that for tonight and raise a glass. Or two. Or..... ;)
@@MakingModelsAgain Needless to say, 1/144 make my head hurt....way to tiny! Could come in handy fighting off wasps, mosquitoes and other unpleasant creatures though! 🤨🤔
Absolutely love that paint scheme well done! Not sure how you are able to work with such small photo etch parts I have trouble with 1/48. One thing about the Luftwaffe they certainly had much more imaginative color schemes then the allies I think that's why I actually prefer to make Luftwaffe plane over allied ones. Cheers another great one Gary.!
Thanks, Martin. Our '1/144 guy' uses those little plastic tubs you get carry-outs in for his stuff and usually gets his entire display into one of those folding crates whereas the rest of us look like we're moving house!
My god, man - what did you use to paint the cockpit - a single hog bristle?! There's an Eduard eentsy Spit in my stash and I can't find the packet, let alone put it together! Well done, hope you restart the 'Talks from the Cave' soon - a lot of people rely on your advice on alcohol as well!Cheers,Vimal
Well, Vimal, that little Spit goes together beautifully and.... and.... there's a BrenGun photoetch set for it too which also comes with a vacform canopy and the radio compartment!
Absolutely amazing build. It could pass for a larger scale, given the details. Not a place I would tread Incidentally, how was the Sweet kit? I've heard good things.
Thanks, Stephen. Sweet kits are the Tamiya's of 1/144. Fit is sublime and the surface detailed more refined than most others larger scales. Definitely worth a try. I'm eager to try a Zero next (have a couple in the stash - also with PE detail sets)
That's a sweet looking build Gary, see what I did there? See? Eh? Did you see? It looks like a better kit than the eduard one which I have and that etch is just crazy.
MakingModelsAgain I am warned now... I' ll never go lower than 1/72nd. 😁 Which is acceptable for at least twin engined airplanes... Thanks for the little chat!
So Gary... when are you going to share the secret of how you train your troupe of performing fleas to build a model kit?! It's the only explanation for this tiny beauty! Nice one! Cheers. :-)
Très beau travail mon ami GARRY Et bonne explication très intéressante pour moi Très beau modèle Messerschmitt J adore ta vidéo je suis abonné de FRANCE 👍 Very good work my friend GARRY and good explanation very interesting for me Very nice model Messerschmitt I enjoy watching your video this is a pleasure for the eyes 😎👍 I am subscribed of France And I would be proud to have you as subscriber too 👍
I see Gary's partner was uploading videos few months ago, and seems to be with another man unless its her brother or a friend , Gary nowhere to be seen in the videos . Its possible they may have divorced and he's still piecing his life back together...or maybe I have came to a very poor assumption and conclusion. We miss you
Hi Luke, just out of curiosity, do you mind me asking who this was that was uploading? Was it the Asian woman, by any chance? As I said, just curious. :)

still waiting for your triumphant return sir!
hope you have a lovely Christmas.
We haven't forgotten you Gary 👍
yeah, wish he would start making videos again : (
such good content and such a good guy
Glad to see from your recent replies that you are ok Gary. Stay safe and I look forward to seeing your next Whisky review! XX
I acrually was afraid that he´s dead, glad ti hear he´s ok
Your videos are amazing and addicting. Wishing you well and hoping to see a new upload soon.
Cheers from Arizona
You do in 1/144 what some people would struggle to do in1/48. A lovely little Bf109. Great work.
Well, thank you for that, Len, but I wish I could do in 1/48 what I can do in 1/144 at times...! hehehe..
@@MakingModelsAgain what happened to your channel? no vids in 4 years?
I really miss your chats in the shed.
Same here. I recently found you and binged watched about 10 hours of your videos a couple of weekends ago. More content please.
Same here....maybe a MMA marathon again? 🤨🤔

Miss these videos, Consider coming back to YT sometime maybe
. Even if it's just the occasional blip upload every few months or so.
Another amazing job, Gary; the amount of detail you manage to get into even the tiniest model is hard to believe

Yea, i-16 up next? I dare you.....
I'm crazy, not stupid! :P
Are you freaking crazy? I bet you were walking around cross-eyed for a week. Turned out beautiful!
Crazy just about sums it up. I have a Polikarpov I-16 in the stash with PE enhancements. It's sits about half the size of the 109.... Mental.

Lovely! 1/144 is my favourite scale and its a real treat to see it when its done so well.Very nice work indeed :)
Superb stuff Gary. So pleased to see some videos from you again. Dunno of my eyeballs could cope with that scale. The photo etch parts look ridiculously fiddly. You did an amazing job mate.

Great!! Hope we get a beer recommendation with each vlog too!!
Bravo! I don't know how you have the patience to work in such a small scale, especially with this type of aircraft. Yeah, lovely job.😎👍🏻
Thanks, mate. Thankfully, Sweet kits are so well engineered that at least that aspect was taken care of.
That properly deserves a "wow".
That is some microscopic level of detail.
Excellent job. Hope you didn't hurt your eyes doing it.
Thanks, Robert, I'll take your 'wow'! As for my eyeed, therur perfrrfctly finw.
Awesome work Gary! Good to see you back on RUclips.
Thank you, Tyler, glad to be back behind the wheel gain. :)

As always amazing work. Just keep making these, because they are awesome.
Superb work on that equally small scale. Looks great
Thanks, Sherbir! I do enjoy pushing myself on these little ones!
SO glad I finally got to see this build :) top job mate
Cheers, Ivan, glad you like her! :)
Killer job Gary! Makes my eyes hurt just thinking about trying to tackle that scale lol.
Haha, thanks, Brett. It's not a scale for the faint of heart, that's for sure!
Simply stunning Gary as always brilliant 109
Why thank you, glad you like it! :)
So how many swear words did you use in the making of this kit? Im thinking you can get that WingNut Wings Felixstowe Duellists with the proceeds of the swear jar ;) beautiful work as always.

Let's put it this way, those magnifying visors are essential for this sort of thing - often on high mag too!
very good work done on that scale, I will follow you to see your next videos. Regards my friend
Where'd you go
oooooooh I see two new models in the world now :) happiness is a great thing!
And more to come! Stay tuned...

Agreed, but there was no way in hell I was going to try one of the dappled schemes at that scale. Heck, I was worried doing on the 1/32 190!
Do you think you will make a video while drinking a nice glass of scotch or beer with us again ? Those are the good old days.
Wow, super PE details and great paint job for that scale. You could probably store 10 of those in the same space taken up by a 1/48 scale.
Thanks, Martin. Our '1/144 guy' uses those little plastic tubs you get carry-outs in for his stuff and usually gets his entire display into one of those folding crates whereas the rest of us look like we're moving house!
That is the positive side for these kits, easy to store, display and transport : )
Wow! Good things come in small packages.
If I had a pound.... ;)
Beautiful model miss the witty repartee though thanks for the vid!

The Eddy Spit is a great kit, though and to this day, the build I'm most chuffed with.
I had to take off my glasses in order to see this one. 😉
('Cause I'm short-sighted and getting old...)
Excellent work!
Every 1/144 kit takes 5 years off your sight. Two more and I'll be blind!

Fake! It is 48th scale and he borrowed ISM-Paul's fingers for the photo to make it look 144th.
As usual, cracking result in any scale Gary.
