Just found this series. I have been waiting to find something like this for FOREVER!!! Up until now, all I could find is videos using airbrush....I can't afford an airbrush, so this is EXACTLY what I needed to step my game up to another level. Thank you very much for this!!
Please please continue making more hand painting videos have just taken the hobby back up after 40 years found your videos on RUclips and I have been impressed and have improved my hand painting 10 fold thank you
Great tutorial! Thanks
Please continue with the handmade series, I have just today found this series of videos and they have been incredibly useful inspirational. Mike
Will do!
4 years later and still very helpful!! Thank u for the excellent work
A wonderful example of how to work around problems as they crop up. The frustration and disappointment with crumbling, ill-fitting, and stubborn decals is enough to try the patience of a saint. Another well done video, sir. Thanks! :)
Thank you Patrick. Always look forward to hearing from you :)
I love the look of the world war planes. I have to admit I have never tried the rigging. Did rigging on the old ships and it looked great, so I am sure it would be worth the effort on the planes. So SCM any informative videos on rigging would be a big help. 😁
I'm getting back into model building after a very long hiatus since my early teens; and those models I built were atrocious! I've been watching many videos and they all use airbrushes and compressors. I didn't want to invest in an airbrush and compressor along with all the various accessories on a new venture into modeling. So happy to have come across this series! Kudos to you for putting this together. Now getting started doesn't seem so daunting and I'm encouraged and excited to get started! Thanks for taking the time to put such a hand brushing series together for us beginners!!!
I’m also surprised at low viewership. I think the series was terrific and I learned a tremendous amount. I’ll definitely watch everything you post in the future. Thanks for all your efforts.
Possibly the best ‘First Build’ beginners model kit video on RUclips. Great work my friend. 👍
Thank you sir for your kind words :)
Watched al 4 video's, really enjoyed it! Would like to see more handpaint!
Thanks wilco...will keep in mind :)
Yes. more videos please. This is by far the best tutorial I´ve seen on using a brush. This is great proof that you can get great results without airbrush. I have always thought that you need an airbrush, and in a small apartment that´s not an option. It would be nice to see some tanks or warships, only using a brush. Thank you for making this series, it´s really helpful.
Thank you! Will try and do! :)
You beginner series had inspired me to get into modelling last year, and I still watch them till this day as a good reference. Thank you.
Hey MK, I am very happy that the videos are proving helpful. Good luck with the build :)
Been watching this series every time I'm brush painting. This has definitely uped my brush game. I actually enjoy brushing more than Airbrush now.
Please do continue with these instructional videos. They are excellent. I have been working with my 11 year old Grandson as he is getting into modeling. Unfortunately we live far apart but I can share these videos with him and help him work through his builds. Additionally I find them very informative and learn something new every time I watch them. Thank you and keep up the fine work. It is much appreciated.
Please continue with the handmade series it is a fantastic easy to follow instructional video. you explain everything so well you show how to fix mistakes not just talk about it you are an excellent teacher dont stop please
Really loved this series of videos. I've just got back into modelling after 30+ years away. And I'm building a Airfix Hurricane kit and these videos are amazing in helping me into brush painting with Acrylics
This series is superior to any other on RUclips. I keep coming back to them over and over again!
Thanks Hilman, very kind of you :)
+1 for hand painted videos! Your vids are high quality , good audio and video! I personally would like to see sub 10 mins video but so ehow without compromising the info that u give. Thank you
You deserve a Victoria Cross for solving those decal problems. BTW, this series for beginners is easily the best resource I have found on RUclips. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thank you for the kind words Stephen :)
man that adding shading and wiping it away with paper towel is very clever
G'day SMM, Thank you so much for these excellent brush painting videos. I have come back to modelling after a very long break. When I started aircraft modelling no one used airbrushes apart from professional model makers. I found your videos helping me to recall the techniques I lost many years ago. This was most helpful and very well shot.
You did not rush the processes you showed us and this was appreciated.
I know that here in Australia a large number of modellers, like me, do not use airbrushes. They are still expensive; require more exacting cleaning than brushes and, worst of all, make a noise.
I was in the RAAF and became interested in military history which I later studied at university, specialising in the histories of various air forces and WW2 in particular.
I have some fascinating photographs showing the so-called 'D-Day Stripes' being applied to Hurricanes and Spitfires, by hand using 6-inch paint brushes, outdoors!
By personal experience I can tell you that squadron, wing and group paint schemes varied widely amongst aircraft of the same type.
During WW2, properly painting the aircraft was way down on the list of the ground staffs' priorities so the variations were even more pronounced across squadrons etc.
In the Pacific theatre of operations, the RAAF and the RAF actually removed the red dot in their usual roundel designs. This was to stop the repeat of a tragic 'friendly fire' incident where several RAAF aircraft were shot down by inexperienced US pilots who mistook the red centre of our roundels to indicate Japanese planes.
The 'weathering' and chipping from over use was most common during WW2. Some types of fighters and light bombers had such bad oil stains and burns from exhaust outlets that they could never be entirely cleaned. Rarely was there time to remove aircraft from the line for new paint jobs, so ad-hoc painting and panel repair work made most aircraft look extremely 'patchy'.
To conclude, I think more RUclips modelling experts, like yourself, should make more videos showing beginners, and older people like me who don't like using airbrushes, or can't afford them, the secrets of completing even the largest kits using brushes alone. This, after all, preserves the heritage of our hobby which started in earnest during the latter part of WW2 and boomed into great popularity in post-war years in the UK and US then spread around the world.
Thank you again for your efforts and I do hope you consider doing more instructional brush videos.
Cheers, stay healthy and all the best! BH Hobart, Tasmania
An excellent tutorial for beginners like me who haven't built a kit since they were kids. All the basic techniques to try and with luck make a reasonable job.
I haven’t made models since I was a child. Now I’m 65 and was fascinated by the way you made your model in the video. I shall now buy a kit and apply your technique. Thank you so much for your very informative methods.
I am glad you liked the videos Stuart. Good luck with your build, I am sure it will prove to be very enjoyable :)
I just found your series and appreciate your taking the time to do it. I am getting back into modelling again after a couple of decades break and found your series to be most informative and inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you for putting up this series of hand painting. They were very helpful. I’m sorry you didn’t get more responses. I look forward to more.
Thank you, "Scale Modelling Madness", During the lock-out, I decided to re-vamp my collection of WW2 fighters that I built and painted 50 years ago, more than 25 of them. At that time I used Humbrol enamel and brush. The painting was OK for a kid, but was gloss or satin. I sprayed them with mate varnish and I am starting to weather them, using your videos, that I find remarkably clear . Thank you very much !!
Patrick Le Flour (Paris, France)
I am so happy that the videos proved helpful Patrick. Now, perhaps you could give a new kit a try :) Good luck and thank you for watching the videos.
modern aviation will be much apreciated!
Hi, just to let you know I learned more from yours videos than I ever did from any others RUclips channel. I love hand painting and the expert tips I receive from your videos makes me a better builder. keep up the great work.
I have only just started to make models and am astounded at the quality of the workmanship used in these models - many congratulations and thanks
Yes, I definitely would like to see more detail series like this one. I learned a lot from this series about weathering.
Hey Wayne I just uploaded another hand painting video. You can check it out as well :)
ruclips.net/video/3wixjr4Z29g/видео.html
I quit building models decades ago due to the demands of a career and raising a family, but like so many others I became interested again when I retired and all the kids had moved out. The hobby, though, has gotten insanely complicated, with the focus on hyper-realistic detailing and finishing that are beyond the abilities of newcomers, even ones who used to be pretty good at building. Your videos provide a very welcome reentry point. They sidestep the complexities and focus on the basics, and I love the common-sense approach to things like cockpit detailing and seam reworking. Well done in every way!
Excellent series, thoroughly enjoyed the videos. I used to hand-paint my models with enamels years ago, then bought an airbrush & now use acrylic paints. I think I'll put your lessons to use & try some hand-painting again, for old times' sake. Many thanks - I hope more people watch these.
Thanks for posting the videos. I have been building models for 55 years and many turn out nicely, but I still learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Many thanks for investing your time in helping beginners out - it's much appreciated. Cheers.
I’ve watched this multiple times and will watch it again. Fantastic content. Thank you so much and please make more!
Only just found your chanel. Like other viewers, it's convinced me a first class result can be achieved without an airbrush. Well done and best wishes.
Thanks for all your videos, especially the hand painted series. It’s convinced me that I don’t need to spend £200 plus on an airbrush and compressor to get good results. And what I really like is that you are not trying to sell us someone else’s products every couple of minutes.
Any chance you could make some videos on a biplane with rigging? I’ve been given a lot of 1/48 scale WW1 kits which I think scared the giver off but it would be nice to make a few.
Thanks Stephen. I wish someone would pay me to make these videos... lol :) I have been meaning to make a WW1 kit for some time. I have an Eduard Albatross in the stash, even bought some PE turn buckles if I remember. I will surely give it a go soon.
@@scalemodellingmadness4114 paying for lessons of this quality in painting by hand brush might not be out of the table, as far as I'm concerned...
Thanks Pedro...very kind of you :)
I use an airbrush for painting really large areas. Nothing beats an airbrush for that if you compare them side by side and for ease of use and saving time. But having said that, hand brushing is a skill everyone needs and saves masking off everything every time and loading and cleaning an airbrush. You are very correct in your hand painting methods about thinning and proper hand painting techniques. I found your video in my recommended list. I subscribed. I like your subject matter and details. I enjoy watching them in between my own building.
I’ve watched a large number of model making videos as I get ready to get back into this hobby, and these are one of the very best I’ve seen. Patient, well paced, going over all the points a beginner needs to know. I particularly appreciate the way you explain things that other, experienced modelers gloss over (no pun intended) without thinking about because they are so familiar to them, but which are invaluable to those new to the hobby to hear described.
Like another viewer, I would have liked to see you paint the wheels, as I seem to always make a mess of those (black on the center, and the center colour over the tyres no matter what I do, LOL). Truly an excellent video series and I am now going to watch your other videos - thank you.
Hey Chris, I am making another hand painted kit right now and I promise I will explain how to paint the wheel hubs and tyres this time :)
@@scalemodellingmadness4114 Thank you! I really do not understand why this series has so few watches and likes, it is really excellent.
You represent what is best about the Internet, useful information very well presented with no ulterior motive - well done!
Allow me to tell you how much I enjoyed this series and why. I have made models when I was younger, and still have them on display now, the cars, that is; but I never achieved anywhere near this level of detail, nor did I know how to do it. Your series was so informative!
I'm just now starting with aircraft. I have a model of a B--17 that I've had for years and dared not touch. My Grandfather served and died as part of the crew in a B-17 bomber during a campaign in WWII. I always wanted to be a pilot, every since I was a kid, but I am too tall. Instead, I served in the Marine Corps. Those planes. omg those planes. The point is that now, at 40 years old with my military options shot and still wanting to make models, I'm looking at making model aircraft. The B-17 will wait, boxed up, until I'm confident enough to do it.
Thanks to your videos, I do have the confidence to start off with this one I have here - my 1::32 scale P-51D Mustang. After watching your videos I'm confident to make it now. Thank you :).
When I was in the Marines, '99-'02, mostly what I saw were FA-18 and Harriers, besides whatever the Navy had on deck. If this build comes out good, I'll seek out an F-18. those things..... I have memories, yeah.... anyway... maybe eventually I'll have the confidence to tackle the beloved B-17 model I still have boxed up. It all has meaning, you know, and putting the care and meaning into something you love, such as a model, is what makes it count.
Thank you SO much for this series.
Darkdally, thank you so much for watching the videos and your kind words. I cannot tell you how encouraging your comment is. It really fills one up with a desire to make and share more videos. I love this hobby because it is such a wonderful mix of skill, history and nostalgia. It is also my small way of paying homage to the brave people (like your grandfather) whose courage and devotion to duty has made our modern and relatively peaceful lives possible.
It is also the most wonderful way to make friends across the world.
So welcome to this wonderful hobby and good luck with your build.
I've just found this series. Thanks! I'm watching it with my 12y.o. son and we are learning so much. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I am so happy that the series is proving helpful. This is one of the best parent-child activity one can do. Incidentally, it was my mother who started me off with my first kits when I was about 7. Good luck and enjoy the build :)
Thank you for your tutorial on all this. After a 40 year absence from the hobby, I'm getting ready to do this again.
I really enjoyed this series. It was very helpful. I like the way you narrated and explained every step. And when things went wrong, I liked how you showed how to fix it.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. These videos were really helpful and have given me such great tips and advice. Would definitely watch more builds if you made more.
Thanks Mitch... i have just uploaded another hand painting series on the channel. Do check it out :)
Thank you. I have learnt a lot from your series. I am busy with my first kit. If only I had watched this before starting. Kind regards.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with the build Edward, do let me know how it came out :) And thanks for watching.
I've come from your Hurricane build to here. Fantastic! You are an inspirational modeller, especially as there's no airbrushing!!
Thank you for producing a highly educational and interesting set of RUclips videos dedicated to painting and weathering of kits using a brush and NOT an airbrush, especially towards your target audience of beginners. I fall into this category and must admit there are very few channels who have tackled this in the accomplished way that you have. I hope that with, as of today's date, you have 634 thumbs up - a strong indication that your audience would like to see more of the same. So, come on, you know you want to, give us more of these videos. Many thanks. Mike
I really appreciate how you dealt with the issues of the decals and the difficulty they presented. Your use of thin multiple coats has left a realistic presentation.
As I am very new to weathering techniques, I would definitely like to see more of these videos. It's fascinating how such relatively simple steps can produce such dramatic effects. Please keep going with these.
Awesome, thank you!
What a great looking build even with the issues. I'm 53 and getting back into the hobby. Thanks for the great painting tips, best I have found for painting by hand. I want to work on my hand painting before moving to air brush.
I’ve had a kit stored in my cupboard for over seven years. It was a gift from my then girlfriend (now my wife) and this series has sparked in me the possibility of finally getting at it. I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of paint numbers I would have to buy, but now I know better. Many thanks!
You are welcome Diego. Glad the video proved helpful. It's a great hobby. Good luck.
An excellent series which I thoroughly enjoyed. Even to a seasoned senior modeller like myself it was refreshing to see old & new techniques passed on to a wider audience. Keep it up.
Thank you Ted.
your hand brushing tips are the only thing keeping me in this hobby. Bless you.
As a beginner without room for an airbrush, I find myself returning to this series for every kit I build. Would love to see more, there are so many other topics it would be helpful to cover! I've been struggling with natural metal finishes and small parts outside the cockpit.
Thanks buddy. I will surely make more beginner's guide videos soon. Good luck with the build. As for small parts that you are having trouble with, could you elaborate... I will try and help.
Just fiddly parts like antennas and landing gear. I'm getting better but I find them difficult to clean, paint, and secure them convincingly.
@@UnderstatementJones1 So, there are a few tips that I can share.
1. When cutting fragile and tiny parts off the sprue cut away from the part. What I mean is cut extra plastic with the part. This small nub of plastic is then easier to remove.
2. For tiny parts, always first attack a small piece of masking tape to it before cutting it off the sprue. This will prevent the dreaded pinging, where the part goes flying off, never to be seen again.
3. Use tweezers. This is a tool you should familiarise yourself with. It is very useful and will help you position and move smaller parts easily.
Rest of course is a lot of practice and goof ups and cursing :) Good luck.
Just subscribed! I’ve been making models for 2 years now and must say these are some of the best hand painted ones I’ve seen
I'd definitely support the people asking for more. I've come back to this hobby after about 50 years' absence, due to the lockdown, and it's amazing how much better things are now. If you could show us how to paint camouflage by hand that would be brilliant.
Please keep up the good work - what you are producing aren't just models - they're works of art.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am really happy that the videos are proving to be helpful. As for a camo scheme....I am in the process of unloading a four part series on painting a 48th scale Hurricane on the channel. I have already uploaded three videos and the fourth should be up by tom. So, here is the link for the first video and the longer complete build video of the same kit. Hope you like it :)

These videos were perfect for me. Pure novice at building and painting, and here it is in a handy, step-by -step format. Thank you sir!
Excellent. As a returner to scale modelling after 40+ years (and half way through my first kit) this will help me so much. It was pitched at just the right level and I for one am very grateful that you have taken the time to put this mini-series together. Thank you!
Thanks for this series. I wasn't convinced that I could get a good result with hand painting. But you have shown what is possible with patience and practice. I'd like to see more hand painted models from you, as not everyone wants, or can afford, an airbrush setup to start out with.
Glad it was helpful! I am working on another hand painted kit, this time a hurricane with a three colour camouflage. Will have those videos up soon as well :)
@@scalemodellingmadness4114 that'll be useful as I have a Tomahawk waiting to be built, and I wondered how best to do the camo.
A nice series for the beginner (me), I really like the fact that you left in the mistakes and showed how to address them. Well done!
Thanks buddy :)
It's over 30 years since I last made a model and your hand painted series has inspired me to have another go, thank you.
Thank you, sir for such a well put together tutorial series. Given how many more people are either coming back to modeling or beginners to the hobby due to quarantine (myself included), I think a lot of us would be super grateful for another hand painted series :) (22:10) If you are taking requests, I’d like to place a vote for a tank. I saw the one in your “my first diorama” series and loved that one.
Thank you Phil. I am currently working on another hand painted aircraft, a hurricane. However, I will surely build a tank later. Thanks once again for watching :)
Thank you for this most excellent and informative set of vids on hand painting. Your skill level is extremely high and the painting results are fantastic. I used to make models as a boy, and now that I am nearing retirement I am going to take it up again. Your super handiwork convinces me that I do not need to buy an expensive spray gun; so there is a saving you have provided me with! More videos on painting would be greatly appreciated.
When I was a boy I would make smoke staining from the exhausts by using two pieces of masking tape running away from an exhaust with an increasing gap, and then set alight to a piece of sprue, and play the oily smoke between the two pieces of masking tape. After extinguishing the sprue, and removing the masking tape, I would smudge slightly the sharp lines of the smoke staining. Looking at photos of aircraft it is surprising how sharp edges some smoke staining could be. Before weathering I think it important to look at photos of the actual aircraft being modelled to see how much wear and tear there was, and where. Weathering can be overdone because so many aircraft did not last long enough to get any weathering. I also saw one modeller on You-Tube had put aluminium weathering on the fuselage of a De Haviland Mosquito! So know your subject!!
What a fantastic set of videos. I'm returning to aircraft model making for the first time in 45 years and hoping to make a better job than I did as a child. If I can get anywhere near this I will be very pleased.
Thank you so much...this is hugely helpful given that I’m a total rookie. I would certainly be interested in seeing more such videos...
Glad it was helpful! And welcome to this wonderful hobby Steve. Good luck :)
23:02 I find your videos easy to understand and follow, probably the best tutorials I have found on RUclips, keep the videos coming.
Just found the series after 'hand painting' many aircraft kits & wondering how to improve & have a consistent good finish. Now I know!!😁
Thankyou
I've been watching tutorials on hand painting models for awhile now and this is hands down the best and most comprehensive one by far. Thank you.
This helped me a ton! And will take my model aircraft to the next level. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
What a brilliant put together series! I have just got back into the hobby after a long time away and this series has given me so much to work from. Also it has given me faith that I can get a great finish with brush. Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks buddy. Glad you liked the video series. I will soon be doing another one, with a more elaborate paint scheme :)
Thank you for the great beginners vids. I'm just starting out with modelling so the tips you gave me will be very useful!
Amazing work, this is unbelievable hand brush working, never imagined you’ll get these results with a hand brush. Please continue with more videos, you got a new fan 👍🏻😄
I'm teaching some of my students about aircraft model making and really enjoyed your series. Thanks for the detail, well done.
Ya big GEEK! What are the odds? Great minds. I knew I liked for more than your looks.
I knew we was related.
Excellent guide, which I have found to be very helpful as I’m only just getting back into the hobby after a gap of over 30 years.
I have just found this series of videos and as a new modeller I think they are invaluable. Thank you and please do more for brush painters and novices like me.
I am glad you liked the series and found it useful. I hope you have seen the hurricane hand painting series too, its on the channel. I will surely keep doing more beginners videos as well. Thanks for watching :)
Just watched all 4 videos, and was amazed and really impressed with your skill with the brush! Great to get some insight into new tricks and techniques from an old modeller just getting back into the hobby after a 44 year hiatus (thanks COVID-19 lockdown)! I've found a couple of kits in a cardboard box that has followed me around, that I bought as a teenager back in 1976 that I never got around to. Will give your techniques a shot! Subscribed and liked!
I am happy that the videos proved helpful. Good luck with the builds :)
I really appreciate these videos. I'm not a fan of the painting but it's something I have to wave through so that I can start building. Your method of gluing really helped me. Also I very appreciate the decals because I dread it because I had no idea what to do to properly place it.
Excellent! A complete model built from start to finish! Learned a lot.
I agree, do more hand painted video's. You present the subject in a very good way, easy to watch and listen to.
Thanks, will do!
Having just watched 1series of you hand painting models, I know have the confidence and know how to really step up with my painting and detailing! Please do more!
Thanks for watching and I am glad the videos helped. I will surely do more such videos in the near future. Good luck with you build :)
I watch the 4 videos, loved them and learned quite a bit. Will definitely continue watching your channel, made it interesting and enjoyable to watch. TY!!
Thanks for the brush painting videos! There are not much of them on RUclips. So don't worry, the views will get sky high in no time!
The quality of Your videos is very good. It's very good that You explain how and why are You doing things. And the result of the brush painting is far better then seen on other hand paint videos.
I'm a beginner, and I don't want to spend much money to start, so is will try brush painting based on Your videos.
Thanks again!
Glad that the video proved helpful. Thanks you for your kind words :)
Please continue this series. Just starting this hobby. Thank you.
I just happened upon this series and found it very enjoyable. You are a very skilled artist and model maker. The hope here is that you do others like it. THANKS
Thanks Dan, very kind of you.
Please do more hand painting models. This was an excellent set for this build; you covered a lot of detail.Your efforts to put together these videos are much appreciated!
Just finished watching all 4 videos, thankyou for some excellent advice on model painting and assembly.
It may not have gotten as many views as you hoped when you first made it, but I just watched it now two years later and found it helpful!
Thank you for all of these videos. As someone who has just come back to modelling whilst in Covid19 lockdown I am sure that I can do a much better job after your advice. More hand painting please!
Glad you found the videos helpful. I am right not working on a hand painted Hurricane. But it will be a few weeks before the videos go up :)
Watched the entire build back to back! Very detailed and to the point. Excellent job! Thank you so much
Really nice job! Even an old dog like me can still learn a trick or two!
Thanks David! 👍
i absolutely loved these 4 part guide. Thanks a lot, now I`m even more into the modeling and painting!
Always want more details but, REALLY, REALLY enjoyed this series. Watched each segment 2-3 times. Well presented and with modesty which is nice. You make it appear very “do-able”, well done, again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for hand painting series. I'm working on the Tamiya F4F 1/48 scale model and not ready to invest in airbrush equipment. Also hand painting is more appealing to me. I've learned so much from your techniques that I will apply to my model building. I hope there will be more videos in the future. Thanks again.
Phil Campbell
Thanks for watching Philip. I am glad that the series is proving helpful. I have recently uploaded another hand painting series on the channel, a Hawker Hurricane Mk.I, do check that out as well, I have done a BoB camouflage scheme on that one :)
I watched all your videos with the P47. Its been a great help as I'm just starting out. I've just started an Me. 262 and was grateful for the tips
Great to hear!
BPC I agree with other comments, a great series and I would certainly like to see more.
'Less than overwhelming response' ?!
Oh well, I don't suppose you can please everyone.
But, in my humble opinion, this build has been a fantastic introduction for beginners wishing to get into model making using brushes alone, but with the additional realism achieved through selective and careful weathering. I humbly doff my hat to you, fine sir.
And further videos on brush painting would be very much appreciated by this modeller.
Thank you kindly good sir.... I am but a few days away from uploading the next hand painted build. A hurricane in 48th scale. And thank you again.
@@scalemodellingmadness4114Great ! I look forward to seeing it.
Probably the best serie on handpainting, very helpful.
You should continue!
Greetings from Italy!
Been thinking about getting into model building, have been on the fence till I watched this video series! I believe it’s something I can do. Would love to see more hand painted model videos! Thanks for taking the time to make them!!
Hey Mike, the time for fence sitting is over, just dive into the hobby :) Good luck. I hope scale modelling proves to be as rewarding and satisfying for you as it was for me.
Scale Modelling Madness well hopped off the post, got a kit! Not a expensive one, but one nevertheless so here we go!!
Great video, Informative and well planned. Some great modeling techniques. I appreciate your efforts
Thank you very much!
I have really enjoyed the entire 4 part series. Learned a few tricks too. Thank you.
