Kevin's Hobby Time!
United States
Приєднався 15 тра 2024
Hi there! I'm your host Kevin, and it's Hobby Time!
(Thus, the whole Kevin's Hobby Time thing, lol.)
I love building, and working on scale models and figures, to include altering, scratch-building, painting, weathering and detailing them. I will also be working on dioramas for a lot of my models and I use many different kinds of materials and methods, and will also be using 3d resin printing to help me in my journey. I hope you will be both entertained and informed, and I love to share tips, tricks, secrets, know-how and techniques while we're at it.
I appreciate you sharing your comments, tips, tricks, hacks, ideas, requests, and most especially your time with me, and wish to thank each and every one of you in advance, for sharing them with me. I believe in being a lifelong learner, and I anticipate evolving my content as we go.
So, sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy your journey with me.
Let's get to work, "It's Hobby Time!"

1966 Pontiac GTO Post Apox, scale model, kit bash part 1.
I love kit bashing, especially when it is based in a fictional post-apocalyptic scenario.
The main platform for the car is the 1966 Pontiac GTO by Revell. It's the 1998 release version that I bought several years ago and never had the time, until now to do something with it. I deliberately bought this model for a post apox build and now that's happening.
This is part 1 which mainly encompasses the reasoning and the basics of where the build is at and I focused a lot on what I've done to the model so far.
I will be focusing on the final assembly, painting, and weathering in the next video/s. I'm not sure yet, how many more vids there will be to cover this, but mostly likely at least 1-3 more to cover the complete build. This project is current as the release date of today 11/22/24.
I'm also considering doing a small vignette/diorama to display the final model.
The goal for the painting/weathering will be to make it very worn, but not worn out. I will be using both the hairspray and salt chipping methods for the paint fading, and rust/corrosion chipping. I'll be using the Oil Paint Rendering (OPR) method for weathering the car. Military modelers will be most familiar with these techniques. I really didn't want to build a nice, shiny, trailer, show queen for this build. This has already been a ton of fun to think through and kit bash and create custom pieces for the car and I can't wait to continue the project.
I hope you'll enjoy watching the progression, I can't wait to get to the painting and weathering.

Dechroming Tech Tip! Dechroming scale model car parts.

I'm starting the prep work for my next build and need to dechrome some of the parts for it. I don't like most of the pre-chromed parts that come in the model kits, it just doesn't look right to me. I figured I would take the opportunity to do a tech tip video on how to dechrome parts. Please note that the two cleaner/degreaser products I used(show) in the video are just two that I use. They are...

Hi there! This is a quick update on where I've been and what's going on since my last uploads. It's all explained in the video and it's nothing bad. Just had some tech difficulties and some real world stuff happen that I had to do and take care of before I could create/post more videos. So, thanks for your patience and time, I appreciate it.

Welcome to Kevin's Hobby Time! A model kit, etc. type how-to and watching channel.
Переглядів 715 місяців тому
Hi! This is my welcome to my hobby channel where I will be working on model kits, figures, resin 3d printing and more! I'll be working a lot in 1/25th, 1/35th, 1/16th, and other scales that are relevant to working with figures for 3d printing. I hope you enjoy your stay here and welcome aboard!
Mad Max type are my favorite to build! Go crazy on it. Big truck rigs are the most fun, to me. Try fiberglass window screen on windows, works great, easy to cut and glue!
Nice video Kevin! The 29 is awesome! Just found your channel! Subbed
Sorry it took so long to get a comment back to you. Thank you very much, I appreciate it and thank you for subscribing!
@@KevinsHobbyTime No problem Kevin, your welcome man!!
Nice video, your 29 turned out great.
Thank you!
Just found your channel and subbed, some awesome content my friend 😮😮😮
Thank you! I appreciate that. It's slow going and I'm trying to get some more things figured out, but a new video should be out soon. I hope you enjoy the journey.
Sweeeeeet!! Dropped ya a sub... thanks
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the adventures.
Hey Kev! From one Kev to another, nice clean build there!! Your channel just popped in. I guess you’ll get another sub.🤷🏻👍🏻🫡🇺🇸
lol very cool! We are taking over the world one Kevin at a time. Thank you! Welcome aboard.
The 29 Roadster turned out Super nice man. Love that flatty with the Ardun heads.
Thank you! I do to. I wanted to do something cool with this one, but still be in the vein of 20 to 30 something guy, built it in his garage, around mid-60s. I've got a custom 30 I want to do soon.
Just found your channel, Great build!!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the content as we go. I appreciate it.
Nice job for first time using an air brush. Wish I could figure out how to use my sir brush. Maybe it's the cheap paint I'm buying.
Thank you. I watched a ton of UA-cam videos on the subject and practiced with water first. Then mixed up my paint, and did some test painting on another old car body I had and decided to use as a paint mule. Airbrushing is a lot about having the paint thin enough to flow smoothly through the nozzle size that you are using. Then it's about how much psi you need to do what you want it to do. I used Tamiya acrylic paints for the regular paint job and it was thinned about 1 to 1 or 50% to 50% paint to Mr color leveling thinner. My nozzle is a .38 and the airbrush is the GHAD-68 by Gaaheleri and I bought it off Amazon. Psi was right around 16-18 psi. Hope this helps.
Awesome build! Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
That would look great on a shelf.
Thank you!
Most builders don't post on any regular time schedule - some people are retired and have lots of time - some people like me - I still work so I post when I have time to make a video LOL I'm already subscribed to your channel so whenever you post something new subscribers are notified and its easy to check out your new vid right away. I notice you run the exhaust from the spray booth to a 5G bucket? I have never seen that before. That would be good for a mention in a video. 👍
Yeah, I'd like to get on to a schedule at some point, maybe for some aspects of scale modeling or other hobby info, and post builds when I can. I just do better with some kind of schedule. I learned the bucket trick from another YTuber, and at some point will talk about the booth and bench set up, I figure. Good idea, no matter what. Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate it.
I love how you kept the tools used to what a beginner would be able to afford. Most all model builders started somewhere. And there’s no need to invest in tools that may hardly get used. Great video 👍
Thank you. Yep, you got to start somewhere and I didn't want to overload someone new right out of the gate. A good selection of tools will help, but you can still build a model with the basics. It's about starting something new and hopefully enjoying it without getting caught up in all the tools and gear. Trust me, I'm a gear hog, but it needs to be something that solves a problem that I may encounter and some tools are good to have and will help your skills advance in what you can do.
Thank you for sharing. Do we need a PRIMER with enamel paints? cheers.
It depends on what you are wanting to do with the model. If you have a model that is molded in a color that you don't want, then you'll want to put a base coat (primer) over the color so that you can apply the color you want the model to look. Generally, primers are used to help give the color coats a good layer for the paint to adhere to first. The primer is also good for covering/filling in small imperfections in the model body. Most of the terms that are used are from the real world auto industry and get carried over. If your model body has some scratches or surface imperfections, you can lightly sand it or add a good primer base over it to build your final color coat up from. The other reason I didn't use primer was due to the fact that the paint I was using was going on at a normal thicker coat, and not thinning it out. In essence, I knew the paint would go on thicker and level out some and thus would hide any minor imperfections on the body. The body was already really smooth and didn't have anything that I needed to correct for when using a brushed on, enamel color coat. This reminds me that it would be a good idea to make a video covering painting a model car body. There is also a lot of vids on YT from other modelers that highlight how they paint a model car body, but I will throw my 2 cents in the ring soon. Thank you for the comment and the question. I hope this answered your question.
@@KevinsHobbyTime thank you
Just found your channel. Welcome to our world of scale model channels. Will be looking forward to what you do.
Thank you! I'm off to a slow start, but will be doing more soon.
Great video. Shows newcomers to the hobby that you can still build something nice with limited skill
Thanks! That was the main goal. The more we can get involved the more everything grows. I just want to have fun and do what I can along the way.
nice paint job.
Thanks. It's not the greatest in the world, but it did the job to show that it can be done. More techniques will follow in later videos. Welcome aboard!
Back in my teenage years when I was building model cars on an allowance, basic tools were all I had. Noe, I did use Mama’s sewing thread to make wires with, but other than that,it’s about all I had. That being said, sometimes now the harder I try the worse I screw it up.
Yeah, I only really got a model on my birthday or Christmas and only had the basics. I just figured it was a good place to start and to show new builders that it can be done. Remember, to ultimately just have fun.
LOL! I keep thinking that I’m listening to Thomas McDermott the actor building the model. You sound amazingly like him. Hope that doesn’t offend you, just an observation on my part. I haven’t finished watching your videos yet but you’re doing a great job, from what I’ve seen so far.
Nope, no offense taken. No worries at all. Thank you.
Great Video!! So informational!
Thank you!
I don’t know the last time I’ve seen anyone brush paint a body 😆 Actually came out not bad! I would almost recommend white glue for the glass, water wash up and almost everyone has some 🤷♂️ Nice work with the build 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that. Yep, I have some white glue in my stash, but wanted to show that it could be done with the basic kit. But, will definitely add that to the, "for sure items to have" list for one of my future videos on intermediate tools and/or how to enhance a basic kit. Kind of, what to add from here. Thanks again for the comment.
Cool video. I love it when someone has a video for beginners. Have a great week!!!
Thank you. I appreciate that. You as well.
The beauty of this is that it allows you to buy more art supplies! 😁 great video Kevin!!
Thank you!
Sweet! A beginners guide to building models.
More to come!
Nicely done!!! Can't wait to see the next video!
Thank you! I appreciate that. I will be working on getting more content out as soon as possible.
Yay! It's live!
Thank you!
