    Wow, that overhead shot of all the parts and components early in the video looked sharp! Way better than typical model parts usually look like, not at all like toy parts.
    I realize it's sort of a simple thing, but one of the techniques I'm picking up from your videos (beyond the prep work you did) is the use of toothpicks to do detail painting.
    I have been using brushes, but that often is harder to control where the paint is going and how much. With toothpick method, you pinpoint the spot you want to paint.
    Glad you took the time to build this for us.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching Ray, I really appreciate all of your support. To be honest, I use toothpicks because I hate cleaning my brushes! LOL But, you are right, you can sharpen a toothpick to get a tiny tiny spot of paint on something.

    I just finished watching the series for the second time for inspiration to build my 50 Ford convertible. I appreciate all the attention to the detail of the steps you took. I do wish though you had said something about the dismantling of the original build with white glue. Having never attempted that step before, I am curious about how the parts come apart and the cleaning off of the glue itself. Thank you for creating this series. It's very inspiring and helpful.

    • @ScaleModelExperiment
      @ScaleModelExperiment  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you so much for your kind words. You’re worrying about nothing at all with the white glue. Just for fun, put a couple of pieces together and the next day take them apart. You’ll see that they glue peels right off the pieces cleanly. Thanks again 👍
