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 :)
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
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*
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.
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 🙏
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 .
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. 🤘
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.
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.
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.
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
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 😢
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.
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.
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
Crazy to believe I’ve been watching this channel for almost 2 years now I think? Wishing you all the growth!! The work you do is amazing and such a great resource for the community
I'm always impressed by how you keep everything organized and remember what products are best for which products! I'd love to see a spreadsheet of your test results. So much knowledge in one hobby channel!
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. 🇺🇸
Merry Christmas! I found your channel earlier this year and have been watching ever since. I just got into model building again in the last year or so. Built some models for my son when he was little but life got in the way and had to quit due to time. Now I am retired and have the time to do it again and I am really enjoying it. I am not much of a painter so I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks for all that you do and I hope you get to 100,000 subscribers soon.
Merry Christmas! Pray all is well with your family. Just retired and restarted my hobbie of building cars. Your videos are helping me introduce me to whats new. Tx for the help.
After two winners that did not collect, I'm feeling lucky, Barbatos. I don't know how I missed this one, but I did. I'm so glad I listened to this video and not because there was still a chance to win something. You mentioned what got you started with your own line of paints and you mentioned the Model Master series by Testors and how Rustoleum bought Testors out and then ended that line. Other than MRC Tamiya paints, I loved the Model Master Series when I was painting and building and that struck a chord with me. Especially so, since I am getting back into painting and building for dioramas and miniatures. As to anti-static measures, again, I used to be in semiconductor manufacturing and ESD (electro static discharge) issues could destroy chips. We used to have to clip ourselves to the machines or tables where we worked. This was just 'plugging' in to the surface with a grounding strap attached to our wrist. For parts, you could probably get away with attaching an alligator clip on each end of a 3' or so line, clip one end to the model and the other end to the booth or surface where you're working and that should reduce or eliminate static buildup while working on them (building or painting). Just a thought that might help. Thanks again and I'm so glad you had a couple folks who couldn't collect the give away -- it made me realize that I hadn't watched this one.
I have a suggestion, the HG Age 1 Normal(and the units that are based off of the Normal(not the arm and leg varients) there are two or three varients). I LOVE the age 1 normal and its varients because it practically SCREAMS "Paint me" with its color seperation. I suggest you check it out.
I'm 67 and getting back into the hobby after over almost 54 years. On your comments I already purchased a timbertech compressor and the NEOECO airbrush! But could really use a paint booth. I hope you, your wife and everyone else has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!
Your videos have helped me get into airbrushing after 30 years. Mind you i wish I had the amazing knowledge and skills you have. Though one can still make do with a $30 Amazon airbrush and a cardboard home made spraybooth, just need to put some fans in it. Hoping to one of these days get a waterfall one. Thank you from a paralyzed vet who you have gotten back into modeling. Keep safe Razor
Merry Christmas! I am well equipped for modeling so good luck with the give away. I returned to the the hobby after 30 years and now I am teaching my 9 year old. You really have been instrumental in showing me how much the tech has improved and how to work with the new paints. I never miss a video .Have a great 2024. Maybe we will cross paths some day. I am just north of you up in Mass.
I've only been watching your channel for a few months, but I'm pretty sure there isn't anything you can shoot through an airbrush! Love the content and your style. Just getting back into modeling after a few decades, wow what a change. Look forward to your content. Merry Christmas!
Huh, turns out an unexpected bonus of finally remember to subscribe is that I finally see the videos before the giveaways are over, instead of well after they've expired (which has been true for most videos I've watched on this channel) It should probably go without saying, but the channel has been really helpful, please keep it going
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 😊
Thanks for all the enthusiasm for the hobby. Its been years since I had last built models, but a friend got me into 40k so I wanted to resurrect the painting aspect. Thanks to your color samples, its made it much easier to choose the right colors for my needs. I'm in interested in watching a detailed assembly and painting video showing all the tips and tricks.
Thanks for everything you do for the community Robert. I just started building model kits earlier this year and your videos have been my number one resource since then. I haven't started airbrushing yet but I'm extremely motivated to learn because of your videos. Merry Christmas and I wish you and your family well.
Merry Christmas Robert, I've been watching your channel for the last 4 months since I started airbrushing, I've learned alot about techniques and products. I like your generosity on the give aways, as it takes a special person to do that while life can be somewhat challenging at the same time, I fully understand as my mother is going through double lung cancer, expected to live 3 months as of April 2022, it is so nice to have her still here over the holidays, as I hope you, and your family stay healthy, and hang in there. Thank you, once again Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and experience with airbrushing and all the bits and bobs that go with it. Hope you had a merry Christmas and that your wife makes a speedy recovery!
Merry Christmas. Just started model building mostly gunpla and mini painting. Thanks for all your vids it’s given me a base line that has kickstarted my knowledge despite my lack of experience. It’s saved me money and time and keeps me excited about the hobby as failures are far less frustrating. Can’t wait for more vids
My adult daughter and I watched your channel tonight, what a way to spend Christmas Eve! We are getting started in the model painting for my 3D printed UFO/Sci Fi designs. Thanks for the excellent RUclips channel! Merry Christmas!!
A very Happy Yule! Your videos have been incredibly informative, and every tool and material you have suggested that I've picked up has been an excellent and welcome addition to my workbench, so thank you!
Merry Christmas, happy Yule, Sunny Solstice, and all the good things! I'm glad your wife is recovering well, but I'm so sorry she got covid! Thanks for the Q&A, it was fun to hear more about you.
Robert, Merry Christmas and thank you for all that you provide to all model builders. I am relatively new to the hobby and you guide me through so many painting questions.
I really hope this restock of the airbrush is enough to go around. They are flying! I love the Q and A and quick tips videos. (But of course I like the reviews, too). I have also found that this hobby helps me to cultivate patience-which had never been my strength.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. This truly is a go to channel for painting. Thanks for all your time and effort. I am not in need of the give away. I just received both my swallowtails w/ Rex. And new booth for Christmas
I enjoyed your ask/answer video. I found it very interesting and helpful. I'm just getting started back up at 72 years old after being out of the hobby for many years and things have really changed!
I found your channel this year when I got the idea to start airbrushing my gunpla. You've taught me everything I needed to know and then some! And I also found it great that you're in Rhode Island area! I used to spend a lot of time in Rehoboth MA with my grandmother! We always found ourselves shopping at an Antique Mall in Providence! Anyways, thank you for making such fantastic content! Keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both you and your wife! My first comment ever! I guess you can say the chance to win your give-away was the nudge I needed. But while I'm here, I want to let you know that you are an inspiration. Your excitement shows through in every single video and has been pivotal in helping me rediscover the importance of having a hobby - something you simply do because you love it and want to. So thank you and please keep doing what you're doing!
I gotta say I am glad to have found your channel look forward to your videos every week. Also a day late but merry Christmas and again I have to compliment the shirt absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time imo.
Your videos are awesomely informative and absolutely keep me going in the hobby! I thank you so much for constantly giving us all this free contact and information as well as answering dozens of comments, you're one of my favorite creators on here.
The question of the hardest model you ever did brought back memories. I was something like 12 or 14 (52 now,I may have been even younger as I forget anymore) and my grandfather had a USS Constitution Old Ironsides ship. I forget what brand it was but it was like 2-2.5' long and about as tall. That took me a good while to finish especially trying to run all the ropes and hang the plastic sails. Didn't have an airbrush back then so had to do everything by brush as mother didn't want the spray smell all through the house...haha. After looking around it was the 1:96 Revell kit and was 32" long. Looking at Ebay and the prices,wish I still had that kit in the box yet.
Happy Christmas Robert....crazy how the channel has evolved, even a year ago I bet you would have never imagined doing a Q+A session facing the camera for x-mas. Keep swingin', x
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. Good luck to everyone who enters the giveaway. My wife has been wanting to get into airbrushing as another way for her to create art, so this would be a perfect starting point for her studio. Thanks Barbatos Rex for everything all year.
As a new watcher, what I enjoy most about your videos is hearing a good man giving friendly and joyful advice about something of interest. We need more of that in this world. Thank you much for your works! 🙂

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 :)
I am 68 and just getting back into the hobby. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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*
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 learned stick shift on my neighbor's Porsche 914!!!! So fun
I learned on an old Ford model N tractor. That's fun to drive too, not as much as a Porsche though.
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 🙏
Entex!! I built the large scale Lambo Countach way back in the 70's. Great memory of that kit.
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
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. 🤘
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.
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.
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.
The Swallowtail is Awesome .... 😮😮😮
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
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 😢
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.
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.
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
The second best thing about your videos is your awesome metal shirts 🤘🏼 (my fave DT album btw)
Let's face, while I like most of their albums, this is without a doubt their best
Crazy to believe I’ve been watching this channel for almost 2 years now I think? Wishing you all the growth!! The work you do is amazing and such a great resource for the community
I'm always impressed by how you keep everything organized and remember what products are best for which products! I'd love to see a spreadsheet of your test results. So much knowledge in one hobby channel!
Merry Christmas, Don't need the prize. Enjoy your videos, keep up the great teaching and sharing the information that you have learned over the years.
Thanks so much for all the info, I've been building for 60 years and you have revolutionized my enjoyment!!!
I learn something new every vid 🙂 Thanks!
You're welcome Rick
Happy Holidays
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. 🇺🇸
Merry Christmas! I found your channel earlier this year and have been watching ever since. I just got into model building again in the last year or so. Built some models for my son when he was little but life got in the way and had to quit due to time. Now I am retired and have the time to do it again and I am really enjoying it. I am not much of a painter so I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks for all that you do and I hope you get to 100,000 subscribers soon.
Great time, thanks for hanging out with us. Can’t wait for all of what you have for us for 2024 & beyond. 🎊
Merry Christmas! Pray all is well with your family.
Just retired and restarted my hobbie of building cars. Your videos are helping me introduce me to whats new. Tx for the help.
Woot woot give away time!
After two winners that did not collect, I'm feeling lucky, Barbatos. I don't know how I missed this one, but I did.
I'm so glad I listened to this video and not because there was still a chance to win something. You mentioned what got you started with your own line of paints and you mentioned the Model Master series by Testors and how Rustoleum bought Testors out and then ended that line. Other than MRC Tamiya paints, I loved the Model Master Series when I was painting and building and that struck a chord with me. Especially so, since I am getting back into painting and building for dioramas and miniatures.
As to anti-static measures, again, I used to be in semiconductor manufacturing and ESD (electro static discharge) issues could destroy chips. We used to have to clip ourselves to the machines or tables where we worked. This was just 'plugging' in to the surface with a grounding strap attached to our wrist. For parts, you could probably get away with attaching an alligator clip on each end of a 3' or so line, clip one end to the model and the other end to the booth or surface where you're working and that should reduce or eliminate static buildup while working on them (building or painting). Just a thought that might help.
Thanks again and I'm so glad you had a couple folks who couldn't collect the give away -- it made me realize that I hadn't watched this one.
Hope that you and your wife will have yourselves happy holidays and a healthy new year, and thanks for all you do. 🎁
Great Video! Walking down memory lane was good too. :)
I have a suggestion, the HG Age 1 Normal(and the units that are based off of the Normal(not the arm and leg varients) there are two or three varients). I LOVE the age 1 normal and its varients because it practically SCREAMS "Paint me" with its color seperation. I suggest you check it out.
For sure, i have a bunch of Age kits and you're right, perfect separation, it's why I bought them. I'll have to do a tour of my stash
I'm 67 and getting back into the hobby after over almost 54 years. On your comments I already purchased a timbertech compressor and the NEOECO airbrush! But could really use a paint booth.
I hope you, your wife and everyone else has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!
This is the Only guy I watch for airbrush information , very RUclips likable !! Great Job
Your videos have helped me get into airbrushing after 30 years. Mind you i wish I had the amazing knowledge and skills you have. Though one can still make do with a $30 Amazon airbrush and a cardboard home made spraybooth, just need to put some fans in it. Hoping to one of these days get a waterfall one.
Thank you from a paralyzed vet who you have gotten back into modeling.
Keep safe
Razor
Merry Christmas. Hope your entire family is well and enjoying this great holiday.
Merry Christmas! I am well equipped for modeling so good luck with the give away. I returned to the the hobby after 30 years and now I am teaching my 9 year old. You really have been instrumental in showing me how much the tech has improved and how to work with the new paints. I never miss a video .Have a great 2024. Maybe we will cross paths some day. I am just north of you up in Mass.
Thanks for all the wonderful knowledge and information you share with the community! Never a dull video
Thank you for doing all you do for the hobby and sharing your experience with us. I do have a booth 4 airbrushs so please pass me on by.
Merry Christmas! Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands. Thanks for the Q&A along with all the helpful videos!!
I've only been watching your channel for a few months, but I'm pretty sure there isn't anything you can shoot through an airbrush! Love the content and your style. Just getting back into modeling after a few decades, wow what a change. Look forward to your content. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for all you do for the community! Cant wait to see what you have planned for 2024.
You have a great channel and I trust in your recommendations. Thanks for all you do for the community.
Huh, turns out an unexpected bonus of finally remember to subscribe is that I finally see the videos before the giveaways are over, instead of well after they've expired (which has been true for most videos I've watched on this channel)
It should probably go without saying, but the channel has been really helpful, please keep it going
Thank you for all of the information, really helps someone who is getting back into the hobby and starting out in airbrushing.
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 😊
That BMW 2002 is a beautiful kit, builds up superbly! You’ll love it!
Thanks for all the enthusiasm for the hobby. Its been years since I had last built models, but a friend got me into 40k so I wanted to resurrect the painting aspect. Thanks to your color samples, its made it much easier to choose the right colors for my needs. I'm in interested in watching a detailed assembly and painting video showing all the tips and tricks.
This is the channel I got to for anything airbrush related
Merry Christmas to you and your wife, Bob. I hope she is progressing well in her recovery. All the best to you!
merry christmas to all, and to all, a happy new year!
Thanks for all you do for this community. Taking the time to help us out is recognized and appreciated by all of us.
I enjoy the videos getting back into the hobby after 25 years I have really learned a lot. I do appreciate it.
Thanks for everything you do for the community Robert. I just started building model kits earlier this year and your videos have been my number one resource since then. I haven't started airbrushing yet but I'm extremely motivated to learn because of your videos. Merry Christmas and I wish you and your family well.
Love the t-shirt Robert merry Christmas dude
Merry Christmas Robert, I've been watching your channel for the last 4 months since I started airbrushing, I've learned alot about techniques and products. I like your generosity on the give aways, as it takes a special person to do that while life can be somewhat challenging at the same time, I fully understand as my mother is going through double lung cancer, expected to live 3 months as of April 2022, it is so nice to have her still here over the holidays, as I hope you, and your family stay healthy, and hang in there. Thank you, once again Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year
Ooooohh! Dream Theater ROCKS!
Great Q & A, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and experience with airbrushing and all the bits and bobs that go with it. Hope you had a merry Christmas and that your wife makes a speedy recovery!
Merry Christmas. Just started model building mostly gunpla and mini painting. Thanks for all your vids it’s given me a base line that has kickstarted my knowledge despite my lack of experience. It’s saved me money and time and keeps me excited about the hobby as failures are far less frustrating. Can’t wait for more vids
My adult daughter and I watched your channel tonight, what a way to spend Christmas Eve! We are getting started in the model painting for my 3D printed UFO/Sci Fi designs. Thanks for the excellent RUclips channel! Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas, hope all goes well for your family. I am just getting back into modeling and find your content very helpful.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well .
A very Happy Yule! Your videos have been incredibly informative, and every tool and material you have suggested that I've picked up has been an excellent and welcome addition to my workbench, so thank you!
Merry Christmas! 🌲♥️🌲
Merry Christmas!
I love those old Entex kits! Some great questions asked. Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas, happy Yule, Sunny Solstice, and all the good things! I'm glad your wife is recovering well, but I'm so sorry she got covid! Thanks for the Q&A, it was fun to hear more about you.
Robert, Merry Christmas and thank you for all that you provide to all model builders. I am relatively new to the hobby and you guide me through so many painting questions.
I love your dedication to the community and the model kit hobby. I have picked up multiple tips and quirks from watching you! Appreciate your passion!
I really hope this restock of the airbrush is enough to go around. They are flying! I love the Q and A and quick tips videos. (But of course I like the reviews, too).
I have also found that this hobby helps me to cultivate patience-which had never been my strength.
Merry Christmas to you and yours from Germany 🎄
Merry Christmass Robert to You and Your family .
Merry Christmas to you and your family. This truly is a go to channel for painting. Thanks for all your time and effort. I am not in need of the give away. I just received both my swallowtails w/ Rex. And new booth for Christmas
Merry Christmas to your family and hopefully you enjoy and have a great day.
Merry Christmas, thanks for all your reviews
Merry Christmas to you and your wife! Look forward to more of your videos!
I enjoyed your ask/answer video. I found it very interesting and helpful. I'm just getting started back up at 72 years old after being out of the hobby for many years and things have really changed!
I found your channel this year when I got the idea to start airbrushing my gunpla. You've taught me everything I needed to know and then some! And I also found it great that you're in Rhode Island area! I used to spend a lot of time in Rehoboth MA with my grandmother! We always found ourselves shopping at an Antique Mall in Providence! Anyways, thank you for making such fantastic content! Keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both you and your wife!
My first comment ever! I guess you can say the chance to win your give-away was the nudge I needed. But while I'm here, I want to let you know that you are an inspiration. Your excitement shows through in every single video and has been pivotal in helping me rediscover the importance of having a hobby - something you simply do because you love it and want to.
So thank you and please keep doing what you're doing!
Man Merry Christmas and hope you and your family had a blessed day!!
I gotta say I am glad to have found your channel look forward to your videos every week. Also a day late but merry Christmas and again I have to compliment the shirt absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time imo.
Your videos are awesomely informative and absolutely keep me going in the hobby! I thank you so much for constantly giving us all this free contact and information as well as answering dozens of comments, you're one of my favorite creators on here.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Looking forward to your new content in 2024, thanks for all the tips and tricks over the years!
I’ve learned so much from your channel. Specially the gold video. Thanks for all your insight.
The question of the hardest model you ever did brought back memories. I was something like 12 or 14 (52 now,I may have been even younger as I forget anymore) and my grandfather had a USS Constitution Old Ironsides ship. I forget what brand it was but it was like 2-2.5' long and about as tall. That took me a good while to finish especially trying to run all the ropes and hang the plastic sails. Didn't have an airbrush back then so had to do everything by brush as mother didn't want the spray smell all through the house...haha.
After looking around it was the 1:96 Revell kit and was 32" long. Looking at Ebay and the prices,wish I still had that kit in the box yet.
Happy Christmas Robert....crazy how the channel has evolved, even a year ago I bet you would have never imagined doing a Q+A session facing the camera for x-mas. Keep swingin', x
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. Good luck to everyone who enters the giveaway. My wife has been wanting to get into airbrushing as another way for her to create art, so this would be a perfect starting point for her studio. Thanks Barbatos Rex for everything all year.
