Great to see the actually doing of it, rather than telling us it’s easy in just word form, ‘watch and learn’ is always the best way, you can learn so much just by watching someone doing it, so to watch a true professional like yourself to do a ‘Show n Tell’ as been great! For me, I get a little nervous about getting it wrong or cut to much off etc, so it’s been great to see videos like these! More of these helps those that are unsure how to go around doing it, makes it that bit easier, giving us the confidence to have a go. Thank you for sharing that with use all to see!
Yes I see grabbing the bull by the horns is good, I’ve watch few modellers over my time, and I have learnt so much just by watching someone else, you may be equally afraid of making a mess out it all! Which to be honest from my stand point as a watcher, rather you than me 😆 but to watch you do more complex modelling like you do, especially if it costs you an arm and a leg, then rather you than me doing it! I’m not to confident myself personally, which is why I can watch your channel over and over to build my own confidence in doing something that you have made look all so easy! keep up the RUclips ‘How To’s’ / ‘Hints n Tips’ or ‘Show n Tells’ methods of doing modelling! You inspire all I’m sure, you do for me, anyway! I’m sure there are more of me watching you that are less confidence modellers than there is of you, however professional you come over, even though inside your holding your breath in hope it doesn’t ping off... Thanks Again!
Hi Charlie, Really liking your videos and easy, informative, all inclusive, presentation style. I've often super-glued my fingers together, or to the things I'm trying to glue. A couple of tips for you. 1. Cellulose thinners (or nail varnish remover but ask the owners permission) can help soften the superglue if you don't want to cut off a layer of skin. Just work it in and gradually ease the fingers apart. It takes a bit of time but prevents bloodshed. Afterwards a good pumice stone can get any remaining off. 2. I found superglue doesn't stick to some plastics (bags etc.) so you can use pieces of that to hold items to avoid getting glue on yourself, but first test the plastic just in case it's the sort that will stick. Now to view part 2. :-)
Hi Vernon, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video. I must confess, it was funny when I glued my fingers together and I’ll take your advice and acquire some solvent. Regards Charlie
Another great Video as a newbie and not having tools (ie) air brush it would be helpful if shown other methods of painting buildings and walls thanks keep up the good work
Hiya Charlie, and excellent video as always, but can I just say that if you get stuck with superglue, run your stuck fingers under as hot a water as you can bear and that will loosen the glue.... the other thing to have on hand is acetone or an old fashioned nail polish remover as this will dissolve the glue for you. I hope this helps! What I would say also is that where you added a sheep of plastic on the back of a joint, with modern cyanoacrylate glues (super glues) it really wasn't necessary, believe it or not, these glues are actually strong enough not to need this. Again i hope this helps.
Wonderful as usual. Two points though. If you can arrange it have the Dremel cutting tool arranged such that it is spitting out dust and pieces of the thing being cut away from you. Secondly, if you stick your super glued finger(s) into a bowl of water that will instantly set the super glue, and leave it quite brittle. After that you should be able to easily separate fingers from attached item, or even your own two fingers, as I have managed to do in the recent past. So you can dodge having to mess around with a scalpel. YMMV.
@@ChadwickModelRailway Excellent. A very good idea. I have spent a lot of my life around heavy machinery and electrical systems that ran up to 69KV in power. Make a mistake with 69KV and you will be in the next world instantaneously. A good friend of mine tangled with a mere 18KV. Took him a lovely 16 hours to die. I had nightmares for two weeks, even though I was not on the scene when he got almost turned into burnt toast by a mere 18KV. I am quite sure that in your time in the Royal Navy you saw plenty of dangerous situations and stopped things from going awry. I deeply respect your past history, and am amazed at the wonderful videos and ideas you present. If you think this to be sucking up, well mate, you are wrong. My grandfather fought in the 8th British Army at a little train stop called El Alamein. He fought despite being a hemophiliac. One serious wound and he would have been dead. I did not know about this until my brother told me about that and my already very high level of respect for my grandfather rose even higher. Sorry to not be discussing trains in this instance, but history haunts me. That is all I will say on this subject ever again. Back to your excellent work with Chadwick Station and good on you for your time in the Navy. Much appreciated.
Interesting to see, how you build a model building by modifying the parts. So far I only have been buildings from kits. When I glue or skrew standing up items together, I use a coupple of bricks to support the items. That works for me.
Enjoyed the video very much. Would suggest you get some surgical gloves (better than sticky fingers:-) ) also clamp items that are to be cut again (better than lost fingers). Keep up the great work and thank you.
Recently subscribed, catching up on your videos, outstanding channel! Appreciate the time and effort you put in to showing others tips/tricks/etc. If I may offer one for you, I have seen it in several of your videos where you use the larger 'Dremel like' tool and you turn it off and it starts hitting your table, you can buy a holder or being fiscally minded you can easily make one so you can set it down while still spinning and save your table top. aka like a solder holder, only this one for your large cutter. Also saves you a few seconds while you are taping your videos having to hold it a bit until it stops. Just a thought. Again, appreciate the videos!
I always use a "wax paper" to keep the parts from sticking to my mat. This is the paper the wife uses in the kitchen. I don't know if you have this over there but it works for me.
@@ChadwickModelRailway I claim that I suffer from a mental illness called MTS. Equals Model Train Syndrome. When at the museum, I suffer from RTS. Equals Real Train Syndrome. No cure of course and it only gets worse the older one gets.
Hi Charlie, watched this video again as enjoyed it first time, Just a tip i use and it works. Buy some grease proof paper and when you r using superglue use that to put your work on and the superglue wont grip very well to the grease proof paper and you can just peel it away. Leave it to 1 side and any glue left on it will have dried and it can be re-used. Hope that helps.
Buy a bottle of "debonder" for the glue and it will debond your finger from the part. An absolute must when working with high strength glues. Ask me how I know!
Please always cut outside. Wearing protection while cutting and taking it of while all particles are airborne isn't very useful 😼 If you can cut the material with a power tool, dremeling the windows open shouldn't be a problem?
Top quality video, Charlie - watch, listen & learn.......and take notes!
Hi Randal, I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. There is also a Part 2.
Regards Charlie
Great Job. Lesson learnt careful with super glue thanks
Thanks, Quarry Central, regards Charlie
Well done Charlie a master class in how to use super glue to stick yourself 😂😂
Rest assured Barry, I have now discovered superglue dissolver. Have a great Christmas, regards, Charlie

The thing you want with CA glue is to have CA Debonder handy. A dab on the fingertips can work wonders.
A very useful point, thanks.
I know this is an old video, but gluing the walls together you need an accelerator and the CA would set instantly.
Yes a great suggestion.
I now have the accelerator at the ready!

Just remember Crazy Glues were originally developed as a Surgical Glue to glue flesh together.

Great tip Alan.
How do you decide which glue to use?
I just buy various ones and try them all to see which is best.
good video, very informative. when will part 2 be released?
Hi, I'm on the case but I'm waiting on some roof strips. Please bear with me. Regards Charlie
Part 2 is out now.
Hi. Is there special reason why you use Revell enamels? I heard that Humbrols are much better
No Jan, these paints are just what I have lying around.
A friend of us almost had togo to a docter with a tioletseet glued at his fingers with superglue.
A dangerous substance indeed.
Waste of paving and buffer stops, surely you have some spare plasticard ?
We will make our choices Terry. Regards Charlie
You can make a realistic building out of bricks that is how good you are
Only if you go first!
The thing is that I don't have any materials to do it except very rocky dirt
Hi Bud. Can this kit be purchased in U. S. A.
I very much doubt it Snafu
I know this comment is late, but acetone dissolves CA (Super) glue, FYI. Think nail polish remover.
Very true TR. If only I knew then!
Please always cut outside. Wearing protection while cutting and taking it of while all particles are airborne isn't very useful 😼 If you can cut the material with a power tool, dremeling the windows open shouldn't be a problem?
Another good point Rob.
Hi if you leave the super glue on your fingers the next lot of super glue will not stick to your fingers at all Anthony
Now there’s something new.
@@ChadwickModelRailway trey it and sea
Super glue sticks better to everything except the piece you are gluing. I hate it but it is necessary to have in this hobby.
I loath using it, sheer desperation.
