The Night Shift of helicopters!!!
Thank you so much. While I don't think my videos are anywhere close to Mr. Martin Kovac's, this comment means a lot to me. If it weren't for Martin's channel, I would have never started mine. His work doesn't cease to inspire me.
@@PointBlankModelling IMO you sell yourself short here. Style is one thing but you offer substance on par with his obsession with detail.
I just had your channel suggested to me and I’ve been binge watching this series because, well, I will admit to a certain level of OCD myself. Mind you I am 71 years old with failing eyes and arthritis in my hands so I can’t model any more. Nonetheless I love watching others do the kinds of things I used to be able to do. Please bear in mind how very lucky you are to live in the age of photoetch, 3D printed decals and flexible super glue- hell, ordinary superglue only appeared on the mass market when I was 21.
Anyway, being retired means I have plenty of time to watch RUclips videos so despite me being subbed to over a hundred channels, here’s another subscription for you. Can’t wait to see the paint job but I guess that may be a little while.
Thank you so much, sir! I feel honored to have your attention. Your statement about the historical context and access to new technologies is spot on. I'll be 37 this year but when I first started to play around with model kits as a child, almost nothing was available here in Eastern Europe other than a few kits, some enamel paints and plastic cement. The hobby has evolved so much since then and having the internet has been such a game changer as well. About the paint job - it will indeed come a few episodes later and I am also looking forward to it. I really appreciate your comment and glad you find these videos binge-worthy! :)
U'r right!
Even unpainted, the model looks absolutley fantastic!!!
Thank you very much, Dmitriy! :)
You are mental (in a good way), so much detail, so many rivets. Great build , can not wait till the next episode. Thanks for uploading.
Thank you, George!
I thought Plasmo took attention to detail, but this is next level 👏👏👏
Plasmo (David) has always been and continues to be an inspiration to me. I look up to him for many reasons, one of which is that he has a good sense of what to upgrade vs leave as is. I am very poor at balancing that so I rather do everything I can even if 90% of it is not going to be noticeable in the end. I appreciate your comment!
Very inspiring, educative, and a pure pleasure to watch. Keep rocking mate!
Thank you, mate! It's these comments that keep me going.
Amazing details! The little tubes below the fuselage are drain lines for oil and fuel leakages, they come from the upper deck (where the engines and the main gearbox are), from the fuel tank bay and from the fuel pipes
Hi again, Andrea! Thank you for the explanation - it makes sense. Since I posted the video, I learned from some of the commenters that it was common practice to hose the Mi-2 down - which did surprise me to some extent but apparently the same outlets were used to drain the water
You dear Sir just earned a subscription. This level of detail... I am impressed and speechless.
Thank you, my dear Sir, and welcome aboard! :)
Amazing!
Can you make a short review about your tools or give a list?
Thank you very much, Artem! I am away from the bench until the end of next week but will come back to you with a list of the less obvious tools. (Just for clarity - I have no affiliation with any of the manufacturers)
@@PointBlankModelling We'll all be looking forward to it)
@artem Yes I agree, I'd like to know the tools, and the Brand names of some of the liquids. Glues, De-bonders, Black Super Glue, Thinners, etc. Good idea for a video!!!
All right, I am convinced. There's going to be a video about the tools, not just a list. :)
@@PointBlankModelling ☺
I could watch your videos all day. Adding details to models is one of my favorite things to do. I hope one day to be at your level. Can't wait for the next video..
Thank you, Joshua! I admit, I had my doubts at the beginning as I thought most people prefer to watch painting and weathering more than these extended building sessions but it looks like there are audiences for both! :) I really appreciate your feedback.
Really looking forward to the next episode!
So am I, man! :)
This is superb content. Really enjoying watching this build take shape. Thank you.
Thank you very much, Lance!
Just some unreal level of refinement. Watched several videos in one go. Subscribe.
Great to hear that you find these videos binge-worthy! :) Thank you and welcome aboard!
I am mesmerised by your videos. The quality of your modelling is exceptional (and inspirational!), the filming is so clear and well-edited. The illustrations and graphics are clever and help the narrative so much. The English commentary is perfect and your humour is so easy.
This channel will be huge and I'm so happy to have found you so early, with so few subscribers. Wow, you deserve all the success that will come your way.
Hi there, Jonathan! You are too kind. That's quite a compliment especially coming from a fellow modelling content creator! I am still very much in the process of figuring this all out especially with regards to 'footage to final cut ratio' (I use less than 1% of my raw recordings). I really appreciate your kind words and wish you the best of luck and success with the LittleThingsJunkie channel!
Madness! I love your sense of details. I look forward to the finished model.
You and me both! :) I'm glad you liked the video
@@PointBlankModelling I allways add some details on my models, but this is extreme. I build mostly helicopters, I like them. So, you have my full attention, Sir. I am very curious about your painting skills.
Hi there! - I am also very curious about my painting skills! :) It's been a while since the last time I painted a model and I have to admit I have way more experience in building than painting & weathering. I guess we'll see how it will go :)
you make the helicopter model professionally. good luck. looking forward to new
Thank you, sir! :)
AMAZINGNES!!! Watched all your videos thus far now and looking forward to the future ones. Great work!!!!
Thank you very much! I'm working on the next one as we speak :)
Absolutely ridiculous level of care, i don't think i'll ever match (but hey, as long as you're having fun). Extremely interesting to watch and learn from. Really hoping to see more soon. Удачных строек.
Спасибо! :)
Just watched the earlier videos! Subbed! Can’t believe you’ve not got more than 1.1k so far, your videos are awesome. Really love the scratch building. Inspiring me to dig into an older kit once I finish my Tamiya P47D.
Thank you, Josh! It took a while for the algorithm to find the right audience I guess. :) As for older kits I can only encourage you - most models can be significantly improved by scratch built details even without the use of modern technologies.
Man! This is the 72 scale madness! Everything is really amazing and worth the effort! Keep doing such great work!
Thanks, Eugene! :)
I don't know anything about aviation, but the process fascinates me and I look forward to the next episodes!
Thanks so much, Anton! I don't know much about aviation either and I am also looking forward to next episodes :) I hope the next videos will also be enjoyable for you.
Loving the detailed build so far. Exactly my type of content.
Thanks, Alex! I am really glad that these videos found their way to you
Fantastic. I'll never look at a Hoplite in the same way again :). Excellent work. really look forward to the next episode.
Haha, thank you, Mark! The funny thing is, I never had a thing for the Mi-2. But this project is similar to the experience when you prepare for an exam for a long time and by the time you pass it, you realize that you have developed a genuine interest in the subject! :)
My new favourite modelling youtube channel, superb stuff.
There are so many excellent channels out there nowadays... which actually makes your feedback even more valuable to me.
I saw someone else already commented this, but watching this series felt like watching a Nightshift video. You have the same level of detailing and effort into your builds. And also have amazing production value. I really look forward to watching you make a name for your self in the RUclips modeling space, and I hope you become just as successful as the other big channels. Keep at it homie and I’m eagerly awaiting your next vid
Also you dipping it into the sauce sent me lol
:D On a serious note: i really admire Martin's (Nightshift) and David's (Plasmo) pioneership. I think they (and a few others) have paved the road for the rest of us.
But most importantly: your words are the fuel this engine is running on.
@@PointBlankModelling they both really showed the quality and technicality you can bring to the production side. And now people like you can really run with it and keep that train going
Keep up your amazing work! Looking forward to the next episode!!
Thank you, sir! :) I am away from the workbench next week but will dive back in as soon as I can to produce the fifth episode.
24:26 Дренажные трубки для отвода воды из отсеков силовой установки после дождя или мойки, например. Они идут с самого верха через весь фюзеляж.
Спасибо огромное! Вы - наш герой!
Love the into! Beautiful work on all the little greeblies around the fuselage - very inspiring and informative
Thank you so much, Jan!
Waiting for the next episode!
Many have askes for a video on the tools I use so that's the one i'm currently working on but the Mi-2 series will resume right after I get this one out of the way! :)
What a phenomenal build! And a great video. I'm subscribed!
Thank you so much and welcome aboard, Mister G! :)
Stunning as always! Makes me want to break out a helo kit myself 🤔
Thank you, Tom! Please do so and let us know which one you pick. :)
If you have the patience with painting as you have with scratch building details this will be better than a real Mi-2. Amazing job and can't get away from your videos to go back to my crappy models.
Hi there! I am also looking forward to the painting & weathering phases and will try my best not to disappoint you guys. :) I am sure your models are not crappy. It's a process, just keep building and with every build you can push your limits a bit further. I have dozens of unfinished projects so as long as finish yours, you are already way ahead of me.
Stunning work. It is always very enjoyable watching someone so skilled work. Keep up the awesome content
Thank you very much for your kind words. I'll keep 'em comin' :)
One of the best modelers.
Great job anf I really enjoyed to watching it and tell us more about the white glue you are using and others tools please.
Hi there! Thank you for your kind words. I am really glad you like these videos. The white glue I used is the Mig Ultra Glue, as for the rest of the tools, I'll complile a list of the least obvious ones and share it here. I am away from the bench until the end of next week but will come back to you on this. (Just for clarity - I have no affiliation with any of the manufacturers)
Wonderful job.
Thank you!
Very nice build! Please, share pictures of previous build you've done.
Hi there! Thank you. I have to admit that I have more unfinished projects in my stash than finished ones so I don't really have too much to share at this point. In part, I started this channel to stop myself from jumping from project to project and begin to see things through. Hopefully it'll work and and I will be able to share more in the future.
great work...
Thank you!
Fantastic job!
Thank you, sir! :)
Subscribed....I am in awe!
Thank you so much and thanks for subscribing!
Absolutely amazing work, it was a pleasure to watch, looking forward to the next episode already!
Thanks so much, John! :)
amazing work so far ... but to me the most troublesome issue with this kit is the oversized rotor ... would be interesting to see how this will be addressed ... keep up the great work and thanks for sharing ..
Hi there, Martin! Thanks for the heads up about the rotor - now I got something to think about. :)
Amazing work!
Thank you!
Insane
Great build! Would you tell about your bender, your rivet-maker and your scriber please?
Thank you very much! I'll need to look up the manufacturer of the blender - i'll come back to you on that. As for the riveters - the wheels are "Rosie the Riveter" and Galaxy Tools. The scriber is "Mr. Scriber" from Galaxy tools. (Just for clarity - I have no affiliation with any of the manufacturers).
Your work is superb. Not only the model kit, where your skill in scratch and your detailing are amazing. Your video and photo referencing, with color incrustations, help also a lot to understand where you want to go. I discover your channel 2 days ago and I'm push to see your painting job. Until now, for the assembly and detailing challenge, you are in the top 3 of the modelers I follow on RUclips. Maybe you can find a softer music, if your choice is not crucial for you and the other followers. Because your video and your voice are relaxing while the infinite loop of rock/metal (sorry I'm not an expert) in the background is stressing (at least for my fragile and ignorant hears). I handle it, by muting the sound and activating the subtitle to still benefit of your comments. But I would rather prefer no music at all or a softer one (and less repetitive... particularly when I watched all videos in a day). I hope you will continue to post many videos. I'm really push to see the final result. I wish a long life to your channel (with or without metal :) ).
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to watch these videos and for leaving such a kind and detailed comment. Regarding the background music - I have to agree with you - it is the weakest link in the whole production and it will need to change. This was my first attempt at recording background music, but frankly, it has been getting on my nerves as well. I could just pick something else from RUclips's audio library but I like to do everything myself so I'll come up with something more subtle and relaxing that matches the visuals better. It breaks my heart to hear that you had to mute the audio and read the subtitles... :'( Sounds like the background music defeated its purpose. Anyway... thanks again and point taken! :)
@@PointBlankModelling Thank you for your understanding. I'm glad to see you will improve this point. Anyway, don't forget that you can not satisfy everybody. Something could be good for me and horrible for someone else. You will always find someone who disapproves something. I would like to say "do not focus on my remark, do not focus on anybody's remark, the most important is to do the videos as you really like" but the reality is "the most important is your video is liked by the most of people" (at least if this is your goal on RUclips). So, do the videos, with the soundtrack you want, that can attract and retain as many people as possible. As I said, your work is awesome. You have your own style through your videos and it is important to have an identity. I'm sure your followers will grow.
Personal note : I really appreciate all the tips you provide. Particularly the usage of debonder. I remember I already saw it but it didn't appear so useful in my mind before I watched you. And for sure I've never used it. Now I'm less scared with PE parts and CA glue. At this date, I've subscribed 52 channels (including yours) of modelers, crafters and sculptors. And even if I'm really far from all of you, I am able to say that your rank is really high. I don't know how long you are modeling for. I think the only guy I saw who is patient and accurate enough, like you, to do so high details with scratch is from the channel "Zukai! Nandemo-seisaku Nikki" (Kenji's Plastic Models). This is why I said you are in the top 3 (I wait to see your skill in painting to give the final score).
I'm 54. Now you understand why my hears are so sensible and why I need to relax when I watch videos. I stopped modeling before the 90's. I discovered again plastic modeling with RUclips during the Covid. I've never had the skill of any of those RUclipsrs. But watching them gave me the motivation to redo it again and to improve my skill. I discover new technics, I rediscover the kits (you can imagine how far the manufacturers have improved the quality of the kits in 30y). So I've bought some new kits. I've build my shed last year and restarted first some very old kits that I have in my attic (with raised panel lines) to allow me to try and fail. Watching you gave me more ideas before starting my newer kits. And I really want to thank you for that.
I will never be able to do so beautiful work, first because my eyes do not allow that anymore for years, but also because I will never want to spend months to fix the tail of an helicopter... particularly if I have to spend 85% of the time to look for the 0.1 mm styrene part I've cut and that jumped on the floor... Your work is a great source of inspiration and I think maybe you didn't measure the impact of it for some of your followers. So please, even if I imagine the videos take a lot of time in addition of the modeling, don't stop.
This conversation is an island of civility in an ocean of miscommunication. What a delight. I also vote for a more soothing and discreet type of music. This channel is going places.
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts - I really appreciate it.
Regarding the background music and the intention to match viewer/listener preferences: I felt from day one that the music I recorded may not be the best fit but I chose not to let that delay launching the channel. Since then, my suspicion has been confirmed not only by yourself and multiple other viewers but I myself have also grown to find it annoying to say the least. So in a way, replacing it is something I'm doing also for myself. :)
One important thing to note about the debonder is to be careful because most general purpose debonders dissolve polystyrene. In other words, look for the "foam-friendly" or "plastic-friendly" versions otherwise you could easily end up melting the plastic around the blob of superglue you are aiming to cleaning up. Regular debonders can still be used on resin and metal and maybe other types of plastics but polystyrene is tends to be really picky when it comes to such aggressive chemicals.
I am really glad that you are getting back to the hobby! Good like with your builds (both the old & new kits)!
I've got a lathe but still use my cordless drill to shape simple small parts. So many people don't think about using a drill or rotary tool as a lathe.
Hi there! I never had a lathe but I imagine using a small rotary tool to turn small parts is much less of a hassle - especially if you don't need to make multiple parts.
Super super super🤩👍👍
Thank you, Josef! :)
Hi! One question, when i use flexible tape on sloped surfaces like you do at 3:50, I always struggle because they slowly slide out of place, do you have any tips for this issue?
I'm really hooked on your videos, so many techniques to learn, Thanks for sharing them!!
Hi there! I am also facing the same issue but there are a couple of things you can try. Firstly, the thinner the flexible tape, the easier it will conform the surface - try using thinner strips. Secondly, you can hold flexible tape in place with regular masking tape if you only apply it on one side. A third option is to apply some masking fluid to hold it in place, like I did here: ruclips.net/video/xwVjWFiyj8A/видео.html
I am sure there are more tricks out there - so guys, if you can think of more methods, don't hold back :D
epic!
Thank you!

My hero! ^_^
Haha, come on :) What's your story? Are you also building an Mi-2?
24:36 Those little pipes? Dude, they're for the... OK, so the Hoplite is a helicopter intended to serve in many different roles in many different circumstances. For many of those, especially military one, you want to be able to hose out the various compartments to get it clean quickly. Those pipes let all that water out quickyl and easily, and are big enough to cope if the 'water' that's being got rid of is a bit 'chunky'.
Hi there! Thank you! This makes sense. I am wondering if modern helicopters have similar 'drain pipes' or was this more the solution allowed by the state of technology in the 1960's.
@@PointBlankModelling They're a bit more discrete in modern western helicopters, more a slot than a pipe.
Thank you!
I honestly was always afraid to use the CA debonder thinking if I use it it will soak into all the glued seams and dissolve the glue where it should remain...
If you apply it in small amounts it will work just fine. It tends to evaporate quite fast. One thing that's important though is to buy the "foam-friendly" or "plastic-friendly" version because regular debonders can melt plastic! So always test before use... Don't ask me how I learned that :)
Anyone know where that red handled pointy scriber comes from? Looks very useful.
Hi there! It's Mr. Scriber from MRP. It is not only useful but is one of my favorite tools ever. (For clarity: I have no affiliation with MRP or any other brands)
完成楽しみにしてます(*ˊ˘ˋ*)
I am also looking forward to finishing this build! :)
The attention to detail, the craftmanship, and the presentation are amazing. But this repeating music really gets old quick...
Thank you! You are absolutely right about the music. It is on my roadmap to record something more suitable.
So, 1:48 will fly?
Hi there! I'm sorry, I'm not sure what the question is..?
@@PointBlankModelling your work out the 72nd scale in such greate detail that it feels like a model in 48th scale should literally fly ))
Haha, I understand now, thank you! RUclips turned your reference to the 1/48 scale into a timestamp of the video and I thought you were asking something about what was happening at 01:48 :)
@@PointBlankModelling I like your work and of course have subscribed to your channel! Wish you lot of cool models!
Thank you very much! Welcome aboard and I wish you the same!
Great building techniques! But the background music seriously sucks 😉
Haha, thank you, sir! :) Regarding the background music - I have to agree with you. This was my first ever attempt at recording background music and even though I was not 100% happy with it, i didn't want it to hold launching the channel back. I'll dedicate some time to come up with something different before the end of the year.
