Who on earth added thumbs down? This is such a helpful video and an ingenious technique. I print all my stuff in 3d, but this manual work is amazing! I wish I could add 190 thumbs up.
I was wondering what the use of spraying the matching surfaces was for, then it all made sense when he had shaved off a lot of the material, and as if by magic, the centre reference lines were still there. I knew I recognised Paul Budzik's voice and amazing building skills. Awesome video Paul, I think I am going to have to invest in a band saw (my old one died a few years ago and I never replaced it).
"Quick and simple project" - hell I need an engineering degree just to do the drawings. LOL. Great video, amazing work and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
That was incredibly satisfying to watch come to life. Thanks so much for the informative video. I have recently started learning to build things from scratch and I leaned a lot. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for some old school expertise to create a model for a few experimental planes that I’d love to make as the only models I can find online are $300+
Flat sanding block, straight lines and working to edges is also used in automotive body shops to rebuild body panels back to original shape, using body filler .
Thank you, I really enjoy your instructional videos. Do you have a video on making louvered vents, for me making a row of them looks very daunting, not sure where to even begin
By painting the glued surfaces he will always have a centerline reference, even if he were to cut and sand all sides. It's ingenious, I have always just drawn a line on the outside and had to find the center again afterwards (which wasn't always the same exact center I started with). As far as structural integrity.... it's not a flying model, so wood glue is adequate. Even if it were an RC plane, wood glue would still work.
I want to build a Hawker Typhoon from scratch. I am handy with tools but have never built a scratch model. Any advice on materials for beginners? Though, as I think about the front section of the fuselage of the Typhoon, I wonder if I should start with something else.
I notice you don't reply to and probably don't read the comments. Just curious, you said you were going to use a Monogram kit but showed a picture of a Revell model. 2 completely different ends of the 'quality model' manufacturer list. (Revell are awful on my opinion.)
Yes ... building the entire model would be much more involved, but much of the basic shapes are crafted from the same set of reference lines shown here; which is why this video was actually an intro to the Neptune series ... ruclips.net/video/vtT5vYLveQQ/видео.html. Here are some completed scratch built aircraft with some progress images that might give you an idea of some other techniques that would take it to what I consider a more advanced category ...

If its sooooo difficult to save 130 bucks for a table top band saw, you can use just about any hand saw for the cuts he made. Coping saws are cheap. You can also grab a piece of wood and look up how to make a sanding block. Actually seen people make them out of mouse traps. Mouse traps are cheap, sand paper is cheap. Get to shaping.

Wow, the black paint reference line technique is incredible. Thanks!
somebody said me do not envy or hate better man than you are but learn with them.
this is one example of such man, this is truly remarkable job
Spraying the glued surfaces to retain the lines. That's forward thinking. Thanks for sharing that valuable tip

Great video, thank you. Your vibe is so calm and soothing.
I don’t do scale modeling but I love this channel

I had exactly the same thought. It's pretty genius. I'm definitely borrowing that technique for my toolbox.
Amazing tip indeed!

Lol, that's what I said to myself.
Good planning and execution!
And great result!
The "centerlines" technique is really helpful. Thank you for sharing!
This...was... awesome. Your explanations we're concise and easy. Thanks for the video!
Awesome technique, thanks for sharing it.
you are one of the 5 best modelers on RUclips, realy
Excellent tutorial and demonstration. Very clear and concise.
Thank you very much, you have helped me refine my approach to building my own model.
Wow... This is amazing!

A great tutorial. I love the black reference line idea!
Liked and subscribed. I build models myself. It's nice to see technique and terminoligy clearly defined in a well made video.
Dang that is gorgeous, great job.
always wondered how models are made from scratch. pretty serious stuff!! Gotta be an engineer and a machinist.
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for some old school expertise to create a model for a few experimental planes that I’d love to make as the only models I can find online are $300+
Very helpful! Thank you.
I didn't even see that this was Paul Budzik. Wow. I just got a lesson from a master. :-)
5:28 Boy that's smooth, nice work
Eye-opening. I had no idea (but now I do!) Thanks.
Fantastic info
As always, another state of the art tutorial!
Subscribed, Amazing skills!
Thank you!
Simple and amazing job!

Amazing.
an extraordinary job, as always ...
Brilliant, thanks.
I enjoy scratch building as well the complex curves and shapes are tuff, I’ll be resorting to wood also.

Genius! Nice work!!
Very helpful.👍
Great!!!👍😉👍
Wow, what is the purpose of cutting the block into 4 pieces just to glue it together? Does it affect structural integrity in any way?
By painting the glued surfaces he will always have a centerline reference, even if he were to cut and sand all sides. It's ingenious, I have always just drawn a line on the outside and had to find the center again afterwards (which wasn't always the same exact center I started with).

its magic 👌👍
I would need alot prayers if i were to try and pull this pff
If this is basic, then what would the advanced look like? Building the whole plane from scratch?

You and Greg's Automobiles and Airplanes need to merge, like rn, for my own sanity and for the sake of world peace!
This is basic scratchbuilding? Hang on...where did I leave my bandsaw? :-\

Yeah... "basic"
