Your last suggestion was pure gold. This is a hobby, and I should relax, not get upset. Slow down, enjoy the process, and realize the next one will be better.
Have to remember that last tip the most to have a good time and enjoy this hobby. I know myself I have obsessed over the smallest detail that didn't turn out right. Love the channel! Keep up the great builds!
4 years Ago I learned Something New I'm 61 been Building Model Cars Since 11 Make Sprue Rod Putty Using Testors Liquid Cement in the Glass Jar with the Brush you Add Small pieces of Sprue to it then shake it up let Sit 3-4 days then Check it add sprue to thicken the Sprue Putty Can Fill Gaps, Repair Broken Bodies Etc after it Gasses Out it Can be Sanded it makes Seamless Gap Fixes Amazing things Can be Done With it. I Wished I'd known About it as Teenager
I’m an aircraft modeller mainly, but one tip I have is to never throw out old paintbrushes. A beat up old brush might not be good for detail work and getting a nice finish, but it will be fine for messy and rough treatment that would ruin a good brush such as weathering, applying texture or using glue. Once the brush is completely destroyed, you can still use it as a glue applicator, or to hold something while you paint it. You can even make your own specialised tools and use the old handle for it.
Great tip I tried recently. If anyone is painting a car body in a highly pigmented colour like red and is also going to be using white decals on it, clear coat in between to form a barrier coat. This stops any white decals from turning pink.
And dont give up! 2months into the hobby ill admit my first few models were okay but issues along the builds nearly made me give up. I finished my 6th model yesterday but id say its my first proper model. Dont want to blow my own trumpet but im impressed with my work and so happy i didnt give up.
agreed.. been building for 25 years and learned new tricks. I knew about the wires. I do that for my 18 wheelers for the hoses at the back of the cab. and I've used the trees to make all sorts of things from engine hoists to custom frames,. the radio antenna ik for 18 wheeler exhaust as well. and what blew my mind. was the rust paint. and the totally awesome to stripe chrome, yeah blew my mind. what have I been doing with myself, no more sanding lol 🤯🤯🤣
What a totally fantastic set of tips. Like your usual tip video, but 190% more concentrated! I particularly like the one about applying paint with a piece of card. I will definitely be using that.
I have been model building for a few years. I clicked on this video expecting to know most of the tips and tricks.... i didn't think I'd pick up so many new ones! Thank you! Brilliant video!
The last model car I built was in 1998. I have recently purchased a few models and these tips are awesome. I hope I can improve on building these models now that I have a lot more patience than when I was younger. I will be doing a model soon with my son and hope he can get into the hobby. Plus he'll learn about car parts too as an added bonus. Hopefully this will lead him to enjoy all manner of automobiles from design, to repairs, and the talent that goes into the car culture in general. But we'll start with this hobby and go from there.
This channel has by far the best model making tricks I've seen like the time you made seatbelts or the more accurate exhaust with the tv antenna and lighter (which was my favourite) nice job!
Very good tip especially the last one... just enjoy and have fun! Seems basic but I for one definitely forget that's the whole reason why I build model in the first place. Thanks again for a great video.
I’m just getting back into building model cars, and this has been the best RUclips video I have seen so far! Thank you for sharing all of these valuable tips. A lot of these are new to me as I have not built any model cars for a few decades now! Lol.
I really enjoyed that, thank you. Getting back into it after about 445/50 years - concentrating on cars (as a kid I did anything WWII) so this was relevant :)
I haven't built a model car in 40 years, but I recently bought three kits online and am hoping to get back into it. This is the first video I've watched to help me get going again, and I can't thank you enough for these tips. Things have changed a lot since I was younger, and now I am learning all over again. You have helped me. Thank you again. I have clicked the Like button and subscribed. I am going off now to see what other videos you have made.
If you're ever tearing apart some old wire, you may want to save the little tiny copper strands of wire, as you can wrap them around a thin needle to make small springs for carbureted engines.
For the custom exhausts, you can also use the cheap extendable inspection mirrors, backscratchers, and magnets you see at hardware stores. I work at autozone and I can usually get 2 or 3 for $6
I most often use felt as my carpet because a more realistic feel but I definitely admire the power idea. I also install working lights lights in my models too. The small CR2032 battery cases I put on the undercarriage or in the trunks
I build scale model trucks. I love your channel and after seeing you use ribbon to make racing belts, I had the idea to use yellow ribbon to make straps to secure loads to flatbeds.
Thanks for the video! Some videos on YT make modeling seem a bit too serious and involved, but you make it approachable and don't mind sharing the things you've learned. For someone who got back into the hobby as an adult, I appreciate that and always look forward to your builds.
Dude, thank you. I had no idea how many products and tips and techniques there are to scale car building. Holy crap. I've gone into YT hell over the past few weeks just learning all this cool new stuff. It's been just over 20 years since I last did a model. In fact, I just finished the two I started and never finished because of those 17-21 year old days haha. I have a Tamiya 24282 I'm about to start, and I want this one to look really nice...but no air brushing yet. Ya'll have that subtle touch of the hands, I install large heavy doors for a living. I manhandle everything
Ive had to have watched this video a million times. I'll watch it and it'll pop back up in my for you and I'll watch it again great work! Learn something new every time!
AWESOME tips! I'm stealing all of these! To share a tip of my own: You can get metal ducting tape (not plastic duct tape but metal tape) at all hardware stores. This is great for cutting a piece and sticking down as metal shielding in engine bays or engine areas of Formula-style cars. The textured sealing foil from yogurt containers or foil of cigarette packages is great for easy exhaust shielding!
taking time is the most important tip. I always want to hurry when building and mess things up. So modeling is good for learning how to make things step by step and taking lots of time to do something cool and wonderful.
8:57 I always used Ultra Fine point Sharpie markers instead of panel line wash since they come in a variety of colors and offered a lot of control. The tips are 0.3 mm, but you can get away with pinching them a bit narrower with pliers if you're not too rough.
This is the best tips & tricks video I have ever watched ! And I have watched a lot of them ! Very clearly explained and you didn’t drag the explanations out so long that I fell asleep waiting for the next tip like the other video’s. I loved this !
Got this video as a suggestion and thought "it will be one of those useless ones, not gonna watch it". At the end I clicked on it because I wanted to see whether you coated the carbon fiber (it looked shiny). And I am pretty glad I did, awesome tips. I never thought of the aluminum stick or the antenna. The rust was neat too. Thanks a lot!
I thank you for the modern tips and tricks. I am going on 62 and built my first plastic model at age 6 in 1967. I taught myself modeling tricks back then. I would NEVER paint parts on the tree. For me, it was better to trim the parts, clean the cut edges, place them on double sided tape, spray paint one side, dry, flip and repeat. No messy, cut edges to touch up with a brush. You can take the tires and hold one in your thumb and forefinger and drag it across sandpaper while rotating the tire to make it look real and used. I used colored felt in 1/24 and 1/25 cars for carpet, wrapped aluminum foil with glue around chrome parts, and cut a click pen spring in half to make working suspension. You can cut the plastic front end suspension parts and melt needles into the body to make the front steer! My first ignition wires were 9 cut lengths of yellow phone wire, wrapped in a loop and glued at the distributor. I had a needle on a wooden stick, heated with a candle to melt holes in the cylinder head to insert the wires. Another idea was stretching cotton swaps out of the exhaust, or tires on a diorama, and brushing black paint to simulate smoke. On old Nascar models, cutting slits of black electric tape (or pin stripping) would work to simulate the reinforced front windshield and rear window. Use a black marker on the clear window parts on the outside edges before gluing and it will appear more realistic. Old Nascar hood pins could be made from cutting and bending paper clips. Coax cable with a wrapped, braided shield makes nice engine hoses. I used to paint the Goodyear tires using a dab of white (or yellow) paint on a toothpick, brushing the paint on the side of the tire on the raised lettering. When dry, you can scrap away the mistakes and then coat the tire with clear. You can paint worn aluminum parts using aluminum paint, then lightly brush over the parts with a scouring pad to age the finish. Thanks Jun.
I haven't built these cars since i was a child, today i bought one hoping to spark an interest for my son. I really appreciate you sharing all of your techniques and skills to bring out the details!!
I enjoyed your video. I'm just getting back into modeling after retiring and I'll use some of your tips. #1 tip was to relax, take your time and enjoy.
Thanks for the tips. Aftermarket parts and details for car models can be expensive specially PE parts. I like the idea of recycling materials and sourcing or re-purposing things to detail the models.
I used to build model cars as as kid, and stopped for awhile and now got back into it. I've learned so much from these examples. Thank you so much!! :)
Recently retired, used to put kits together as a small Boy, Im amazed at the quality and detail in modern kits, watching videos like this are giving me a goldmine of information, now to go make some model cars,
While model car building is not my chosen form of model building, I always like to see what the other modeling communities are doing. Some of these were actually really interesting.
Recently discovered model car building, working on a r34, doing the best I can with what Iv got to start with, an build up tools an equipment along the way,
Didn't expect to find such really original and useful advice. Particularly liked the look of the replacement steel exhaust. Assuming this isn't your first language then my compliments on your excellent English
These tips are great . Thanks for sharing . Just getting back into modeling after 20 so yrs . Please post more . Wrapping wire for plug wires had no idea . Battery terminals battery posts wiring and the muffler all are excellent ideas . I will use them for sure . Thanks .
WOW!!! Every one of these was great and your modeling is superb.... I cant say enough... Great, Great, Great. You just moved my modeling to another level especially the paint tips!
This was such an inspiring video. From all the helpful tips to that final super important tip about remembering to have fun with your hobby. Many times we get to focused on the end result and forget to enjoy the journey and just hearing you say it helped remind me of that. Great video!
Not only do you have incredible models, but you also have some amazing tips & tricks.. I love all the cars you do and you've inspired me to start modelling aswell. May I suggest a Hayabusa as your next build? Motorcycles are quite fun 😉
thank you for all the tips. i'm getting back into scale modeling for the first time in 25 years and i've been spending time looking around youtube for inspiration. we used to use some of these tips back in the day, but other tips you suggest would have never occurred to us! just brilliant! keep up the good work!
Great video! I learned a few things here. When masking lines I will paint the base color first so any bleeding will blend than do the color your actually painting.
Jun! Your builds are amazing! All 19 tips were great, the only ones I’ve done were the sharpies and the glass cutter and rule. So thanks for 17 great tips and I really enjoyed the production of your videos. Keep up the great work!
I really like the tip with the carbon fiber. Personally, I don't own an airbrush so I made my own carbon fiber decals with decal paper and some resized carbon fiber pattern. You can even make glossy or matte patterns depending on the clear coat.
Hey Jun, I just started modelling again - I built two when I was younger, but now I have the money to do it now. Just wanted to thank you for the video. Some really great tips! Thanks for the inspiration, the hard work, and the reminder to take it slow. The mistakes are a part of the perfection!
Thank you for the tips and tricks! We all really appreciate it! I love your channel and work! I’ve been building models for a little over a year now and always rewatch your videos to learn something new.
This a good tips Mr Jun! I makes a warhammers too, u know u can puts sprues in plastic cement to make sprue goo, it good for if I get gaps u want to fill between 2 parts, probly not as used in model cars, but handy to have for warhammers 😉🥰🐶
Awesome video, your video popped up in my sidebar on my computer . I'm really glad that I checked it ,you have a new subscriber now, I'm looking forward to watch more of your videos
Man, for someone who pays VERY close attention to detail, these are wonderful and innovative ideas, particularly for someone who is going to put their product in a compitition. Like TomGlander below, that last tip is sooo important. No one is timing you on a time schedule or time clock. The whole point is to do it to relax and make it enjoyable, not to race against time. "Easy does it." That's a good slogan and one that's used in AA meetings a lot!
I have used metal tape, made for sealing duct work for chrome strips or rails. It's thin enough to cut and press down easily, polishes up well, and is self-adhesive. It's also a lot cheaper than some of the fancy foil you can buy
Your last suggestion was pure gold. This is a hobby, and I should relax, not get upset. Slow down, enjoy the process, and realize the next one will be better.
Have to remember that last tip the most to have a good time and enjoy this hobby. I know myself I have obsessed over the smallest detail that didn't turn out right. Love the channel! Keep up the great builds!

Exactly this is so underrated in so many aspects both in and out of modelling thank you for posting this🙏🏻
Thank you !!
does this trip work on tank models too?
@@KarlRich10 don't see any reason it wouldn't so yeah 👍
Great tip I tried recently.
If anyone is painting a car body in a highly pigmented colour like red and is also going to be using white decals on it, clear coat in between to form a barrier coat. This stops any white decals from turning pink.
I’m 63 and getting ready to build a 66 Shelby model. These are some awesome tricks that I never new. Thanks.

Stretched Sprew for glue application is brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
The steel wool in vinegar is gold, awesome tip.
What a totally fantastic set of tips. Like your usual tip video, but 190% more concentrated! I particularly like the one about applying paint with a piece of card. I will definitely be using that.

I am speechless. Thanks for this. You are an artist mate!
I'm looking through my cupboards for useless wires straight after watching this! Great tips - keep up the good work, Jun!
I really enjoyed that, thank you. Getting back into it after about 445/50 years - concentrating on cars (as a kid I did anything WWII) so this was relevant :)

You are enjoying the plastic model. It will be very helpful. Very nice! thank you.
Those are excellent tips! Hell, I've been modeling for over 53 years, and some of those are new to me. Well done.

Thanks for the tips! I´m a 1:18 model collector and I love to add details to my cars.

I enjoyed your video. I'm just getting back into modeling after retiring and I'll use some of your tips. #1 tip was to relax, take your time and enjoy.
Very helpful video👍, i think last tip about time is the most important.
For sure, sometimes I can become way to obsessed and stressed and it’s supposed to be relaxing. 100% agree
Thanks for the tips. Aftermarket parts and details for car models can be expensive specially PE parts. I like the idea of recycling materials and sourcing or re-purposing things to detail the models.
Oh my God watching thousands of videos I've learned more from this one than all of those combined
I used to build model cars as as kid, and stopped for awhile and now got back into it. I've learned so much from these examples. Thank you so much!! :)
Tip #11 is something I’ve never would have thought of🤯 so good
Recently retired, used to put kits together as a small Boy, Im amazed at the quality and detail in modern kits, watching videos like this are giving me a goldmine of information, now to go make some model cars,
While model car building is not my chosen form of model building, I always like to see what the other modeling communities are doing. Some of these were actually really interesting.
You sir are a true modeler, amazing. I haven’t seen any other detailed with such great advice. Thank you🙏🏽
Recently discovered model car building, working on a r34, doing the best I can with what Iv got to start with, an build up tools an equipment along the way,
Didn't expect to find such really original and useful advice. Particularly liked the look of the replacement steel exhaust. Assuming this isn't your first language then my compliments on your excellent English
Some great tip's here Jun! Keep the videos coming!
These tips are great . Thanks for sharing . Just getting back into modeling after 20 so yrs . Please post more . Wrapping wire for plug wires had no idea . Battery terminals battery posts wiring and the muffler all are excellent ideas . I will use them for sure . Thanks .

Great video! Thanks for all you’ve taught me over the past year and for getting me into this hobby. Love your videos, Jun!
Goodness me, all the tips are extremely practical!
So much details to make it look perfect.
GREAT TIPS! I'm definitely bookmarking this - And I subscribed!
🤯🤯🤯🤯 wow, the attention to detail is unreal. I will be using some of these methods for sure 😊
thank you for all the tips. i'm getting back into scale modeling for the first time in 25 years and i've been spending time looking around youtube for inspiration. we used to use some of these tips back in the day, but other tips you suggest would have never occurred to us! just brilliant! keep up the good work!
Great video! I learned a few things here. When masking lines I will paint the base color first so any bleeding will blend than do the color your actually painting.
Jun! Your builds are amazing! All 19 tips were great, the only ones I’ve done were the sharpies and the glass cutter and rule. So thanks for 17 great tips and I really enjoyed the production of your videos. Keep up the great work!
Yes, “enjoy and not worry about the end result." Very true
I really like the tip with the carbon fiber. Personally, I don't own an airbrush so I made my own carbon fiber decals with decal paper and some resized carbon fiber pattern. You can even make glossy or matte patterns depending on the clear coat.
Hey Jun, I just started modelling again - I built two when I was younger, but now I have the money to do it now. Just wanted to thank you for the video. Some really great tips! Thanks for the inspiration, the hard work, and the reminder to take it slow. The mistakes are a part of the perfection!
Yeah I been thinking about this too..I used do this and draw also /CREATIVE JUICE'S I haven't used in long time
Thank you for the tips and tricks! We all really appreciate it! I love your channel and work! I’ve been building models for a little over a year now and always rewatch your videos to learn something new.
Good advice for modelers thanks I’m gonna try the rust technique
This a good tips Mr Jun! I makes a warhammers too, u know u can puts sprues in plastic cement to make sprue goo, it good for if I get gaps u want to fill between 2 parts, probly not as used in model cars, but handy to have for warhammers 😉🥰🐶
Thanks for a great video just bought my first model making tools after watching your other videos to do my first model - a silver Tamiya Skyline
Thanks for this vid, great tips! Also, you do some very impressive work, esp. engine details.
Good stuff 😎I use melted sprue for plug wires, just pull it longer for smaller diameter! Thanks for the great video !🤔😎
Tip: desoldering wick comes in various sizes and it's like a sleeve that can be used to make a heat shield for turbos or manifolds
Great idea man!
Awesome video, your video popped up in my sidebar on my computer .
I'm really glad that I checked it ,you have a new subscriber now, I'm looking forward to watch more of your videos
Lots of great tips in that one short video. You do great work thanks for sharing.
I love all the tips!! and the last tip is the most important tip!! relax. Thanks bro!!!
Man, for someone who pays VERY close attention to detail, these are wonderful and innovative ideas, particularly for someone who is going to put their product in a compitition. Like TomGlander below, that last tip is sooo important. No one is timing you on a time schedule or time clock. The whole point is to do it to relax and make it enjoyable, not to race against time. "Easy does it." That's a good slogan and one that's used in AA meetings a lot!
Great tips! Thank you for sharing these Jun!
Some really useful tips that I will use for sure. Thanks for sharing these Jun.
The last tip is one most people forget! Thank you for reminding us of this most important one!
Just wish i didnt have family interrupting me and a wife asking how much longer im gonna take.
Great tips!! I love the carpet technique, I'm going to try that on my new build!
What an excellent video Jun, there's a few tips in here I could definitely try and use to try and improve my builds, thank you very much!
Very cool video! Great ideas Jun! Thanks for the tips!
This was some of the best model building tips I've ever seen in my life. I'm 52 years old and I didn't know any of this.
Hey Jun can you make a video on the diorama you show in all you video, it looks very cool and it would be nice to see it more in depth.
I have used metal tape, made for sealing duct work for chrome strips or rails. It's thin enough to cut and press down easily, polishes up well, and is self-adhesive. It's also a lot cheaper than some of the fancy foil you can buy
Great Tips. especially love the exhaust tip trick. Thank you!
That's really clever mate thanks for sharing. You have definitely inspired me
Definitely some legit tips
