Congratulations treborrr, you've been choosen as the winner of the airbrush setup. Please contact me at my email in the the description below the video so I can get your info, Robert
@@barbatosrex9473 Just my luck, I finally win something and I can't accept :D I should've added that I'm not in the states and thus not eligible. But at least I can make someone happy by giving them another chance at the price :)
My wife blames you for my recent hobby tool spending spree. When she thinks I am going overboard, I show her images of your hobby room and I don't look so OCD. Merry Christmas, and keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas! I hope your wife's recovery is doing well, and I appreciate your thoroughness with paint reviews. I don't buy paint anymore without watching your tests nowadays! You've built a great community of airbrush/model kit enthusiasts, and I'm glad to be a part of it.
That's a bold move, putting give a way in the video title.
Thanks for answering the questions!
I paint with acrylics for miniature painting, and I'm still hesitant to try solvent based paints, but when I do, it will be because of this channel!
Thanks for all of your reviews, Robert, as well as making painting accessible for everyone!
I am 68 and just getting back into the hobby. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you.
Hope your wife makes a speedy recovery. Thank you for all the knowledge you share when it comes to modeling. Your reviews are very helpful.
Robert, your videos are beloved by the entire world of modeling and paint. I am sure by now you know we all come to your channel when looking for what to buy and what to stay away from. Well done my man. Never change and the world is your oyster. :) P.S. Dream Theater is the best. *Bangs head on desk*
Merry Christmas Everyone.... I'm home recovering from surgery after cancer, I think I've watched every video you have put out. Thanks for helping me get back into the hobby
Oh wow!! Mind if I pray for you on this lg of your journey?
Same here buddy. 12 weeks of chemotheraphy after my surgery was giving a lot of time to see many video,s. And helped me passing that bad time in a more pleasant way,time was flying everyweek. Learned in the 1.5 year i have been following this channel more than i would be learning in 10 years. 2th wednesday of januari bloodtests again. And i hope you will be having good results at your medic-controls also like me. And hope, you,others and me can ring:The i am cancer free bell soon.
@@janvanrenselaar5998 this is great news (your presence and newfound skills in the hobby but more importantly done with the chemo leg if your joirney). Def praying for you both with that bell being the a milestone for sure. Enjoy and bless your families and friends today, yea!?journey. Praying for the 2nd week of January-- keep us posted
@@thurow37 Thank you a lot. The last 2 bloodtests were excelent and the good numbers were increasing. Although i am still very fast wasted i am happy sofar that it is over and not on the chemo these days.But the most important is that there is a lght at the tunnel. And that i can carry on with my life further with the knowledge that i don,t have that disease anymore. The doc told me:The road is long,but where you are clear,there is a new road ahead of you,and that road will learn you to love and enjoy your life more,and you will appriciate all kinds of small things more and more.But with the video,s from Robert,it was for me more easy.Because when you watch the video,s, your mind is at another place, not in the bad place anymore. I thought sometimes.He i am gonna try this next week when i feel a bit better. Thanks to this video,s i started expirementing also with diff paints,nails polish etc. It was a great help for me and for my family. Because it was giving me the motivation to do something next week,when the worse days were over and whitinn 2 days,those worse days were comming back again. It was like a support or mental theraphy for me. I will keep you updated.
Starting building again to stay sober. It’s been 5 years and now I build with my 4 year old son. Your videos convinced me to finally start airbrushing as soon as I can get a set up. Thank you for all the content and positivity you bring to the hobby. Your channel really is the best.
I just want to let you know that I am very happy to be able to invite you and all of your great efforts to make this hobby so much more awesome, into my house weekly. The fact you are making waves to get in contact or recognized from manufacturers to collaborate or test their products is very helpful . Being that your thoughts are truly valuable to us all. Keep it metal and true. 🤘
By far, Mr Color/Mr Hobby are my favorite paints. I've tried them all. Been building scale models close to 65 years now. What I love most about the Mr Color paints is the fast drying time, and the durable finish. They hold up to paint masking better than any other paints I know of. Huge color range. Very fine pigments. Spray through my airbrush trouble free, with the Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner 400 being a must-have ite, it slows down the drying time a bit so that the paint has time to settle and self-level.
I never miss an episode, your tool tips are awsome too. Merry Christmas
Hey man please exclude me from the giveaway but I just wanted to give you a thanks. It has been a rough year for me without much modeling but it made my xmas eve a bit brighter to see a notif from Rex. Merry xmas buddy!
Entex!! I built the large scale Lambo Countach way back in the 70's. Great memory of that kit.
Merry Christmas, Robert! I hope you and you and your wife have an awesome Christmas and a Happy New Year! I thank you for all your tips and tricks. Also, for your paint testing. It has been a big help to me. God bless my friend.
I've got the large pace booth, compressor and the swallowtail airbrush. This airbrush is awesome! Have a Merry Christmas to you and your family. Good luck to the person who receives all these goodies.
Brand new to the hobby and this would literally save me. My family isnt together for the holidays and it’s been a tough year watching everyone enjoy and celebrate together. Sitting at home alone for Christmas 😢
Good day Sir. Merry Christmas. I turn 50 years old in February. I used to do models when I was younger. i have just got back into the hobby. I am almost done with a 1/32 scale F4 Phantom. The plane my Father flew in Vietnam. I just completed the an O2, the plane he died in back in 1980. So most of what I do has a meaning for me. Now I need to learn how to use an Airbrush. Thanks to you and your channel. What you do on your channel is second to none. I have enjoyed and learned so much from watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas! Your channel has been an amazing resource for helping me expand my hobby from just brushes and rattle cans to dipping my toes into air brushing.
Thank you for sharing soo much with us. Thank you to Gaahleri for making some amazing airbrushs. Wishing everyone a very safe, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏
Thank you for reviewing all the different hobby product and tools. And thank you for the Q&A's. The ever rising cost of the hobby has hit hard for this retired old man ,so my selection of things that work is important.
Great time, thanks for hanging out with us. Can’t wait for all of what you have for us for 2024 & beyond. 🎊
Being in Italy, and also being so hard to find someone here who understand everything that you show to us... i wish to Thank you, from the deep of my heart, and i would like to wish you and your family a merry Christmas .
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas! VERY good Q & A series. It's refreshing to watch someone who is confident in the product they are discussing. I have been an acrylic only painter but am starting into mini figure models and am going to keep this video available for reference as most of these companies I have never heard of but as I said, someone who is confident in their product is who I am going to trust! Thank you.
55:30, back when I lived alone and had a dedicated spray booth area, I had a sponge that I would get wet and use that to dab my nozzle onto when it needed a light cleaning mid spray.
I have been watching RUclips since its inception and you are the only channel I am a Patreon subscriber of. I love paint and colors too
Wow, thank you!
Merry Christmas Robert. Your Q&A was a terrific idea. I learned a great deal about modeling tonight. Your knowledge is very extensive and it is great that you are willing to share with all of us. You are the guru of
u tube testing
What’s the first thing I should do with a new airbrush should I run some cleaner through it go through and clean it I’ve already learned so much watching your videos Merry Christmas and keep on spraying
The airbrush is good to go. I would start out spraying water to get a feel for it and see how much comes out as you move the trigger back.
Thank you so very much so glad I found your videos hope you had a great Christmas and happy new year
Just getting back into model building and I’m amazed at how the hobby has changed since I was a kid. Now that I’ve retired I’m looking to try creating diorama’s this time and your money saving tips have inspired me even more. Really like how you point out that many of your tools can be found locally in hobby lobby and small shops. Thanks for all the great reviews and suggestions keep them coming. 🇺🇸
Great video!!!!
There is an English guy i watch on RUclips that i watch he gives Amazon vouchers for overseas winners for giveaways. I'll always be happy to watch your videos regardless, the time you put in to bring to us these videos is prize enough 😊
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Rex!
Great video!! Awesome
Please don't include me in the give away.
I agree with you on using your mecha empire paints for cars. You have a lot of fantastic colors in your line up.
I bought the Timbertech air compressor based on your review and it is fantastic. It is so much quieter than it sounds in your video.
Your swallowtail airbrush was a game changer for me. The trigger simplified everything for me and the ergonomics of it made painting a much more enjoyable experience.
Love your products, love your reviews. Thank you for this incredible resource.
