Thank you, Clint!

Thank you, Filiep, I am glad you liked it!

Hi Thomas. Never built exhaust headers, but having checked a few images on Google, I think I would use styrene rods (Evergreen, Plastruct, etc.). Bend them to shape, secure them in place with thin cement and drill out the ends to create the illusion of the rods being hollow. For the rest of the details I would use styrene disks punched out of sheets and/or strips depending on the exact design. To finish, I would use Alclad metal paints (or similar) and imitate the discoloration caused by heat with translucent (Tamiya/Gunze) or similar colors (orange, blue, etc.).

@ do you have any resources to calculate what diameter tubes or rod to use based on the scale of model? I’m thinking of a cheat sheet to use for different components like hoses, wires etc

Thanks for the response btw. Appreciate it

Hi Thomas, I understand what you mean but I don't have a cheat sheet like the one you are referring to. I usually look at reference photos and see which diameter looks about right. If I cannot decide between two similar diameters, I always choose the smaller one as that is less likely to ruin the overall illusion of scale.

You are very welcome. Thanks for leaving a comment!

Thank you very much, Ernie! Glad you like this overview!

Hi Bobby, thanks so much for watching, leaving a comment and sharing (part of) your story! This video covers 99% of the tools I currently use to build models but in case you have any questions, do ask - I am happy to answer. I wish you good luck with your builds!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video!

@@PointBlankModelling Yes, very informative and artistic! Do you remember/know where to find the black super glue that bolt makes?

It looks like it's "temporarily unavailable" everywhere at the moment. I would recommend to get in touch with the manufacturer to see if it's still available and if so, where to get it: www.bupak.eu/contact.html I was advised that VMS makes a similar glue but personally I have not tried it yet. I think this one maybe easier to get ahold of nowadays: www.vms-supplies.com/flexy-5k-pe-type

@@PointBlankModelling Thankyou so much! Looking forward to the next video!!!!

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip!

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. You are the first one to call this out, but you may be right - despite all my efforts, I do tend to mumble sometimes. Especially when I record voiceover early in the morning. I'll pay more attention to this going forward - until then, I recommend to turn on the captions (although they are not 100% accurate).

@@PointBlankModelling Thanks for your reply

Yes you are

I also had some difficulty following some of his narrative. I suggest maybe speaking a little slower and not jumping quickly from one item to another (although I realize you had a lot to cover). But, thank you for your presentation on the various tools. The insights from your experience are very helpful.

Thank you, I'm glad you found something useful in this video!

:D Well, imagine the look on my face when, of all people, my girlfriend taught me about this functionality just 4 weeks ago! As for UMM... I had no idea about their existence until I did the digging for this episode. I had bought some of their stuff at local modeling shows from some Czech retailers and for the longest time I thought they were from some Eastern-European family business - only to find out that those tools travelled here all the way from the US. I understand that doing so may increase cost but putting at least a logo on products is not always such a bad idea...

@@PointBlankModelling very true. I have several of their products and

@@PointBlankModelling you are right. I have several of their products and have been very happy with them. They have great products without all the cosmetic markups.

Thank you, Michael! I'm glad you found some useful information in this video

Hi Adam, I am glad you found this video useful. Thanks for leaving a comment!

Thank you! :)

Thank you, Trevor! I'll give it a try

I am glad you enjoyed watching the video and thanks for leaving a comment, John!

Thank you! You just taught me a word. I had to google 'knolling' and now I know it' s a thing!

@@PointBlankModelling yea, same guy who invented Adobe and Photoshop, ILM modeler, John Knoll.

Thank you! Your feedback really means a lot to me. I am glad you found some useful tips & tricks in these videos and grateful that you took the time to send me a note about it. I am looking to set up Patreon at some point but I think before that, I need to get to a point in my life where I can post more freqently not to disappoint Patrons. Currently I have a full time job which limits my ability to produce content but in all honesty, the mid- to long-term plan is to transition to full-time content creation. Your comment is one of the first rays of light at the end of this tunnel!

Thank you! The truck comes from 3R's "Mid East War Pick Up" kit (TK 7005) which contains two Toyota Land Cruisers (with serious shape issues) and a soviet anti-aircraft gun. If you decide to buy it, be careful because this is one of the kits even the mildest accelerators and debonders can melt. The other version of the kit (TK 7004) comes with two Toyota Hilux's and a truck-bed mounted machine gun. Where to buy it? It depends on where you are located but I recommend to search for "3r tk7005" which should give you a number of results.

Thank you!

Thanks, man!

Thank you, sir!

I think have a mild version of that but for the longest time I used to suffer from IKAD (Impulsive Kit Aquisition Disorder) which I never fully recovered from

@@PointBlankModelling Goes with the territory I guess.

Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you very much & welcome aboard. I hope you'll like the build videos as well.

Thanks so much - i'll update the manufacturer info in the description now

Thanks so much for watching. I am really glad you found some useful techniques in some of the videos. Funnily enough, I never used to care for the Mi-2 either. But by now I kind of do :)

Thank you, commander!

Thank you. :) Sometimes I wish I could look the other way and leave more details untouched

Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! I think the next couple of videos will be about the Mi-2 but I'm also looking to continue 'The Shop' series.

Thanks so much, Pete!

Thanks for the feedback, Jan - I'm glad you liked it!

I call it MC Hammer! :)

@@PointBlankModelling 😄😄😄😄😄🤣🤣

Thank you very much for the feedback, Artem! Also, thanks for asking for a video like this - I don't think I would have made one otherwise.

Nagyon örülök és köszi szépen a visszajelzést!

Thank you so much & welcome aboard!

Thank you very much, Paul!

Thank you, mate! It's these comments that keep me going.

:)

Hi again, Andrea! Thank you for the explanation - it makes sense. Since I posted the video, I learned from some of the commenters that it was common practice to hose the Mi-2 down - which did surprise me to some extent but apparently the same outlets were used to drain the water

Thanks so much, Andrea! It's nice of you to ask but to be honest I don't think this tail is good enough to be used as a master to cast resin copies of. There are a number of things i would do differently the second time around, for example I'd completely erase the original rivet detail and re-do the surface details including the panel lines, etc. The idea did cross my mind though but I think it would probably be a better idea to use 3d technology to build a correction set. Image the possibilities... positive rivets rows, perfect precision etc.

Thank you, Sir!

Hi there! I'm sorry, I'm not sure what the question is..?

@@PointBlankModelling your work out the 72nd scale in such greate detail that it feels like a model in 48th scale should literally fly ))

Haha, I understand now, thank you! UA-cam turned your reference to the 1/48 scale into a timestamp of the video and I thought you were asking something about what was happening at 01:48 :)

@@PointBlankModelling I like your work and of course have subscribed to your channel! Wish you lot of cool models!

Thank you very much! Welcome aboard and I wish you the same!

So am I, man! :)

Thanks, Nico!

Thanks so much, Carlos! I am really glad you found some useful stuff in this video.

Thank you very much, Aleksandr! I abandoned a lot of kits in the past and part of the reason for launching this channel was to force myself to finish builds going forward.
