Hi Tony. The paint looks great 👍. You're aware I'm sure that you're picking up an average of 8,000 subs a week! Outstanding! Congratulations! I'm very happy to see how successful your channel is becoming. As I said in a past comment, I'm looking forward to seeing the body on. I'm enjoying this build very much. Have a great weekend! Cheers!
Hi Michael and thank you. Really happy with the finish I am getting on these parts, but it is very much down to the base prep as I am sure you know. My subs, continue to blow my mind and I am still pinching myself over it. The 'Play button award" is now official and just waiting to see it arrive from the states...I still can not believe this has happened to my humble channel, but it down to guys like you who support what I am trying to do, so thank you also for your amazing support. Body starts going on next week...Have a great weekend yourself, and hope the sun makes an appearance somewhere.
DUDE righteous
Thank you.
Another great video Tony I am thinking of getting one of these kits but I shall wait to see the finished build so I will keep watching for tips
Thanks Clive. You would not be disappointed, should you decide to get one. Have a great weekend.
Tony, I have joined the forum but I have had difficulty getting on it. I have had to talked to Monique several times about it. I will try to get on it again! Thanks for your time and effort.
Hi David, no problem. Once you get on there, you will find loads of info on setting up the single drive. If you still have issues, please come back to me and I will try and help.
Enjoyable video Tony, good progress....👌
Thanks Alan and thanks also for your continued support.
Great film again Tony. The returns which you have added to your arches look just right. Images I have of the real thing look just like that and your headlights will look far better now you've painted them chrome. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Neil...I am pleased with how they have turned out. Will do the same for the two rear arches also. Thanks also for your support.
That's really coming along Tony, great paint prep, I was half expecting to see a bottle of T-cut come out 😅 throughly enjoying the build and good to see your lads too. Have a good weekend buddy.
Thanks Russ, bit early for the T Cut🤣 Thank you for continuing to support my channel and really pleased that you are enjoying this build. Still a long way to go, but I am thoroughly enjoying the journey. Have a great weekend also.
Congratulations on 100k Tony
Well done Sir, keep up the good work
Thank you, and thanks for your continued support.
The fender arch detail was a nice touch.
Thank you.. I will do the same for the two rear arches as well. Just thought it was needed.
Tony - you’ve destroyed my weekend viewing! I so look forward to Saturday mornings; breakfast and a great video, but it’s now twice that my space time continuum has been wobbled😂 Is today Saturday and I’ve lost a day or is something more insidious creeping into to your carefully woven plan? Whatever the cause though I’ve really been enthralled by this video and your continuing demonstration of your skills and enthusiasm. RAF blue was indeed a sound way to go and the extra attention to the rolled inner wings really is going to pay off! Of course, there is the possibility that they’ll be two videos this weekend, so that my breakfast tomorrow won’t be ruined, but surely you can’t be that determined? 🤔 Keep up the great work while I try to work out what day of the week it is 👍🏼👍🏼
🤣🤣 That is hilarious Peter and so sorry mate...my fault...I got the date wrong...back to normal next week, I promise you. Alas, no video today. Thanks for your continued positive comments and support of my channel and apologise for the confusing. Have a great weekend mate.
Hi Tony, I wonder if a coat or two of either Matt or gloss varnish would protect your paint finish!
Loving the progress, and the mods have just added to the project. Looking forward already to the next episode.
Just a suggestion for episode production, perhaps invest in a monitor and set it up camera front, it will greatly assist you in framing your shots.
Thank you. I am using car body paint, so it should be fairly robust. I think the chassis having undergone a lot of work and with lots of sharp edges will be prone to damage, but the main body panels should hold up, but time will tell. I may well still opt to do that.
Love the suggestion of a monitor front facing....I will ask Ben what he thinks, but do you have a monitor which you would recommend...I guess it doesn't need to be a large size? I use the DJI Pocket 2 camera. Thank you for your continued support and helpful ideas, they are always welcomed.
@@tonys_workshop you wouldn’t need anything elaborate, something like a Portkeys PT5 II Camera Monitor 5 Inch would be more than sufficient. It’s big enough for you to frame your shots, has more than enough functions for production needs and at £125 reasonable price. Personally we use Atomos and small HD but the portkey monitor has rave reviews and at a significant fraction of the cost.
Thank you, I will look into that.
I use the Viltrox DC-550 Field Monitor for video production on my Nikon Z9 and at around £150, with a 5.5” screen and 1200 nits of brightness, it should be perfect for use either on camera or for you to use as a large monitor 👍🏼
Thanks Peter, I will ask Ben to look into this for me.
I think that when you are installing things like hinges, I would install them but not locktite until both sides of the hinge is attached. Then, after any adjustments are made if needed, then remove screws one at a time and locktite them.
Hi David, good to hear from you. Good tip and I understand why you would suggest this. I have done exactly that with the bonnet(video up next week) Have a great weekend.
Wow! What a long but interesting episode! I guess it is much harder to do fiddly stuff on camera, than doing just for yourself in a comfy seat. So, thank you, Tony, for sharing this!
And thank you Thomas, for your continued support.
One can only hope Tony, that the people at Rover are as thorough in their surface preparation as you are. Coming along nicely.👍
😂 Thanks Christopher, much appreciated.
Tony you should make your t-shirt designs available for sale. Make a “Tony’s Tankers” design.
Funny you should say that...It has crossed my mind....Working on some ideas with my son as you are not the first to suggest this. Thank you for your continued support.
Where's the Tony's Workshop merch? We need hoodies and T's! Mugs and other bits and bobs.
Hi Ian’s thank you for watching g these videos …(tonys workshop wife speaking !) watch this space as we are working on the Merch thing, so it’s in the pipeline !👍 Lisa 👍
hi tony, all looks great, i must see if i can get some chrome paint in NZ, it looks the business. cheers
Thanks Trevor. If you can...I got this from Amazon...I got it to "pour' fill the small wing mirrors, so I could try and get that reflective look...have not got to that point in the build yet, but it is already been really useful. I always try and think ahead so I have everything ready. Hope you do manage to track some down as it is brilliant stuff. Have a great weekend mate.
Blimey, fallen behind on watching the build!
Nice mods to the wheel arches, who would've thought we'd be seeing wood bending on a Landy build!?
I hope your voice didn't take too long to recover?
Hi Martin, great to hear from you...Thanks...I just felt it needed it...they turned out quite well. Voice recovered thanks. Hope all is well.
Hi Tony, this chrome paint isn't that expensive when you consider how little you need. I have this paint myself. You wouldn't believe how many things you can think of that you can paint with it. Be it buttons on a uniform, small switches... Oh, I can think of a thousand things.😀
Hi Jan, I love this paint and as you say, you really don't need a lot. I purchased this to do the mirrors(when I get to that stage) but already found a good use for it. I will also re-visit the steering wheel spokes with this paint. Thank you for watching and commenting, very much appreciated.
Hi Tony, very good work and from Amortek too! Little question: what RAL-color code has the paint for body (is it from RAF)?
Hi Maddin and thank you. The colur ref I am using is: BS381C 633 RAF Blue/Grey Satin Finish. Hope this helps.
Hello friend I am from Indonesia city
Hello friend from Indonesia, and welcome to my channel. Thank you for watching and commenting.
How about painting the Union Jack on the hood (bonnet?)?
Hi Scot, very tempting, but I will stick with the standard RAF decals which I have sourced. Thanks for your continued support.
Another video mr Spielberg 😅😅😅. You have too much time on your hands Tony 😂😂😂 when you had problems with the headlight screws ,try rubbing the screws over a magnet first .
🤣 Thanks Steve. ...I just love building and detailing these incredible models...Fortunately for me the weather has been terrible, so no opportunities to work in the garden, but building instead👍😀 good idea, but these screws are not magnetisable...Is that even a word?🤣 Thanks for your continued support and hope you have a great weekend.
Hi Tony - great videos ! You mentioned 'mid primer' in the narrative. What is this exactly ?
Hi Gerald, on aluminium, I use a base etching primer, then an acrylic primer, (SIMP11D Grey Aerosol Primer ) then the top coats. Hope this helps.
@@tonys_workshop - thanks Tony
You are welcome.
Cracking idea with the arches👍 Those sausage fingers are working well🤣 do you lacquer the body parts to give extra protection and give a gloss or satin finish? If I remember correctly the RAF station landys were a shiny finish. Ours were in camo IR paint as we used them in the field. 👏👏👏
Thanks Aus. Yes, I was not happy with just the skin and using this method does add to the realism of it I think... The paint I am using is a car body satin finish, so hoping it is durable. I went for the satin finish, as I think this provides that 'exposed to the sun' look...(I hope) I was tempted with a camo scheme, but really happy with this RAF choice...I have been hunting for some really cool 1/6 accessories to add to this and have found some amazing things...really looking forward to getting to that stage and sharing my ideas on that as well. Thank you for your continued amazing support mate, it is very much appreciated.
👁👁
Thank you Mot
Tony,I really could use some help! I have been trying to get my remote set up with the instructions, and I am stuck. I can,not get the 4th channel to the left stick, and cannot get the 3rd channel to the rt stick. I do not know how to tie the two channels so I can single stick drive. Can you please direct me to some one to help me. Thanks.
Hi David, Is this for your Tiger? I have checked the forum to see if I can find you, but unable to. Are you registered? If so, there is a lot of info on this subject. Let me know and I will try and steer you to the right help.
