I had made individual videos for the sets but I did think it would be good to see them all together. I think I have been loving Airfix for the same amount of time!
GOOD VIDEO SIR,ALWAYS LOVED THE AIRFIX BUILDING SETS IN BOTH SCALES.THE DESERT OUTPOST IN BOTH SCALES ARE PART OF MY ALAMO SETUPS FOR WARGAMES.TAKE CARE
Thank you for watching my videos. Really glad to know you like them. It’s great to have your support. It encourages me to get building and filming. It’s an enjoyable nostalgia trip. I do appreciate all your comments
I remember the Bamboo House but was not really impressed with it, Checkpoint, no recollections of that......BUT, Strongpoint, blown up house, i used to use pieces of it to form a longer building/barricade.....OH the memories of youth and plastic soldiers and models. Thanks foe posting.
They have all been good fun to make. I think you enjoy the bamboo house more as an adult because it would make a lovely summer house for the garden! Glad you enjoyed it
Just found your videos and they brought back so many good memories from the 60s and 70s Im returning to the hobby again and really enjoying it all again Keep up the good work and thank you so much
I really enjoyed reading your comment. My videos are all about getting everyone building models and enjoying a bit of nostalgia along the way. Thank you for your encouragement. Welcome back to the hobby, glad you are enjoying it.
@@grahamhurst4613 I spent a childhood getting accidentally high on Humbol paints and spilling them on the carpet and creating TERRIBLE paint jobs on some unlucky figures so I salute you sir for your skill and expertise. I use games workshop paints nowadays for figures but mine still dont look as good as yours. Nice collection too.
So nice to see these vintage kits built up / painted, & displayed. I had the 1/76 scale version of the 'Strongpoint' back in the day (I think Airfix also released the 'Jungle Outpost' in 1/76 ??). I remember Airfix released their 'Battlefront' series of dioramas back in the 70's , that included soldiers, tank & plane of opposing armies, of famous battles of WW2, eg Stalingrad, El Alamein. Would be great to see one of those built up today !
I remember the battlefront sets. I had the El Alamein one’s. I agree it would be nice to see one. Glad you enjoyed the 1/32 sets, I like to display them built up. Thanks for watching and your comments a nice reminder of those battlefront sets
Thank you, I guess a favourite would be the desert outpost. I have always been interested in the North African campaign in world war 2. Thank you for watching
That was a bit tricky. White first, then some careful masking. I marked the centre points and used the width of the tape to keep the lines even. Pour watching war films. Hope that made sense. Thanks for watching and commenting
What I love about your models, you build for enjoyment, no nitpicking and these old kits are still great to build. Brilliant!
For me it’s all about enjoying the hobby and encouraging others to give it a try. Thank you for your really positive comment
@@grahamhurst4613 you're more then welcome 👍
Wow! Excellent work, they look brilliant 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for that. I think the Amera bases set them off really nicely. Thank you for your comment
Very nice, i have loved Airfix for over half a century. Good to see these sets all together!

Nice details, so many little gems here...Loce the bamboo house and the jeep...
I was pleased with how bamboo house looked and the sas jeep will appear again when I have built the Tamiya Chevrolet. Thank you for watching
Just subscribed love the paint job you did on those
Thanks for your support. Still using Humbrol enamel paint
I have got a few of them peices in my parents' loft from when I was a lot younger. Didn't know they still sold them. Awesome 👌
I’ve had mine in the loft for a little while they are good to build and paint
Those British infantry are a hell of an improvement over their 1/72 counterparts, I can remember the disappointment even today after all those years
They are good. In 1/72 1/76 I always preferred the Matchbox British. Thanks for watching
Just found your videos and they brought back so many good memories from the 60s and 70s
Im returning to the hobby again and really enjoying it all again
Keep up the good work and thank you so much

Omg that's gorgeous
Thank you. The Airfix buildings and Amera bases make great scenes to display your figures. Thank you for your comments
You did a superb job. Great video
Thank you it was an enjoyable project and nice to put them on display together. Thank you for watching
They realy look great painted.
Thank you, they do make a great way to display your figure collection
@@grahamhurst4613 did you make the diorama bases yourself?
@@toysoldiernostalgia the bases are from a company called Amera mouldings
Are they made specialy for these buildings or are they generic?@@grahamhurst4613
amazing paint jobs.
Thank you. I just use Humbrol enamel paints. I add some shading to give some depth and finish with dry brushing for highlights

@alexc6324 I should give acrylic paint a try. Glad to hear you are still enjoying the hobby

Takes me back to when I had 100s of 1/72 scale soldiers and structures.
It was a good excuse for me to relive those days. Luckily I still have my 1/72 collection. Glad you enjoyed the nostalgia
A Montgomery wards playset had all of these items in it .1970s Christmas time.
I did have to look up Montgomery Wards. Looks like they sold a lot of great toys. Glad you liked the video and thanks for your comment
Bamboo house will always be "it ain't half hot mum " to me
Very good! I remember that show
Always wished they had made the 2 coastal defence sets in this scale...
They would have been huge! I wonder if anyone out there has done that?
A lot of love went into these dioramas, it's plain to see. Thanks for letting us view them, Graham. Do you have a favourite, and why?
Thank you, I guess a favourite would be the desert outpost. I have always been interested in the North African campaign in world war 2. Thank you for watching
I could do with some advice on how to paint the guard house ❤
That was a bit tricky. White first, then some careful masking. I marked the centre points and used the width of the tape to keep the lines even. Pour watching war films. Hope that made sense. Thanks for watching and commenting
What the company that make the SAS Jeep? Thanks video
The sas jeep is the Tamiya kit. Thanks for watching
