    Thank you Gary. Rather than kit of the week, how about kit of the month, be a shame to loose the builds? Thanks for all your great work during 2024 - have a a happy 2025!

    Interesting to hear those stats, Gary. Please please please do not stop with the build videos - you are my "go to"
    guru when i start a new kit and when i'm choosing my next kit - so my viewing habits (like many others) will skew your stats for 2024. Most importantly, your channel makes me feel part of a wider community in a way other channels do not. So, thanks! Happy new year all. Neil

    I've bought 25 kits this year and built precisely 0. I don't know how you do it. I always enjoy the channel all the best for 2025.

    Happy New Year Gary, " and so say all the subscribers". Thanks for all the hard work and videos in 2024. The Black Friday sales this year were off the chart. The most epic was the Airfix sale - they can pay their light bill for a month after i broke my piggy bank on that one. Just for you reverence here in the colonies we are switched over to Hornby Models for Airfix. They do a fabulous job with packaging and quick shipping.. Looking foward to " your show" in 2025. Cheers Bob

    For me, Monday Matters, is like getting a copy of scale aircraft modelling 30yrs ago & finding out what was being released 🤗
    Maybe replace the kit of the week with kit of the month?
    I, like many here, love your content, but I probably don't hit the like button enough (I cast to the TV, from the phone (old eyes😉)
    I would like to wish you & your family, along with all the community a happy & prosperous New Year 😁🤗🥂

      Yes, Kit of the Month is a possible way forward - it would relieve pressure on building while keeping the concept going. I'll see how the new version goes - nothing is written in stone! Thanks for the input!

    I'm disappointed that the analytics do not show the build videos to be more popular, as they are my favourite feature. I confess that I initially subscribed to your channel because you usually have the early notification of kit deals at Lidl and ALDI and I'm not surprised that they get the highest viewing figures, together with the announcements of new issues from manufacturers.
    Best wishes for 2025, and I hope that you get great satisfaction when you get installed in the North Wing.

    @ryananderson4489 4 дні тому +3

    I must say I find myself watching your older build videos whenever I get stuck on night shift, just means I can still watch something being built even if I can’t build myself in that moment.
    All the best for 2025 Gary!

  • @bearbergmann2782
    @bearbergmann2782 4 дні тому +1

    Thanks for everything. I look forward to all the videos... Monday Matters is the best way to start the week. I must admit that I personally do 1/72 aircraft so those are the builds I look forward to the most but I love ALL the channel content. Keep it rolling my friend and I will watch.

  • @allanrichards3752
    @allanrichards3752 4 дні тому +1

    Happy New Year to you and your family.
    I am surprised that your build videos don't get higher viewing figures. I find them to be really good and the right balance of pace and talking. Some peoples build videos are a bit tedious in that they film a particular operation, like spraying for too long. Others are far too much talking. Of all your videos I do find Monday Matters to be essential viewing because of the upcoming products. I am also assuming that many of your viewers are experienced modelers so the build videos might focus more on issues or just things to be aware of in the build. I am presently building the Airfix F86F-40 Sabre so I watched your build video of this to be sure I don't miss anything.

    25 kits! Wow!!!
    You put so much into the channel Gary.
    It’s been a pleasure watching your channel grow again.
    The Kit of the Week is definitely unattainable now due to not only the complexity but because as your skills evolved you wanted to do more to improve the kit.
    Looking forward to 2025 with everyone here.
    Still the best modelling community amongst some very good competition.
    Happy New Year to everyone!

    “Only” 25 kits built this year? Actually, I’d say that’s pretty good going. Essentially that is one every two weeks with a week off for summer holiday and Christmas. I wish I could achieve that build rate. I’m more like 4 or 5 per year! That said I do think it’s a good idea to move away from a Kit of the Week every week. The old format of box opening, history, build worked very well because it formed a concentrated “story”. The longer builds tended to be a little less coherent. I think if you spread the KOTWs out a bit it will enable you to make the narratives tighter. Anyway Gary, thanks for everything you’ve shown us in 2024 and I’m looking forward to what 2025 brings!

    Hi Gary. Thanks for all the vids.
    I do enjoy the builds and have purchased kits after seeing how they go together on the channel. Marauder, Spitfire XIV, Lee Richards!
    Maybe a "Kit of the X" being how long it takes to build at a relaxed pace and then just put out shorter build/updates on the kit.
    ICM's new Hampden could be a kit of the Month built with weekly build update vids. Kit of the Fortnight for a 1/35 AFV. Whatever is comfortable.
    I like all the news and kit stuff as well and keenly await the appropriate lyrical quotes that lead us unto the week's Monday Matters.
    Cheers for 2025.

    Thanks for the content this year, it's always appreciated.
    My stash adds far outweighed my builds this year. 25 added 3 finished, a 4th is 95% there and hopefully it will be done during the new year break. I'm planning on being a bit more tactical with my purchases next year but we'll see how that goes.

    A lot coming up for you with the new production facility etc, a good opportunity to take stock of everything and tweak bits and pieces of the UA-cam output.
    Putting my advice into practice I have been cataloguing and rationalising the stash and other modelling impedimenta with a view to hitting 2025 ‘running’. There may be some benefits for M4H as a result.
    Unlikely to make the Thursday Livestream as it’s also IPMS night, however looking at the weather coming up it may be prudent to stay at home and tune in.

    I'm surprised the build videos haven't done better for you, which is a shame because i love watching them.
    I also love watching the live stream, just one thing i would say about it, there does seem to be a bit of a lag between what people are typing and when it's actually mentioned by either yourself or Mikey. Maybe that needs tightening up a bit.
    Otherwise, iwould say you've all done very well, keep it up, we're all behind you Gary.

I have always enjoyed kit of the week, but it must be exhausting for you to keep up with, I think it is a good idea to focus in on the news. Thanks again.

    Airfix: "OMG lets get drunk, Gary's Mystic Mug is coming." Poor people from Airfix who need to hear again that they should have more respect for the rich British aviation history. And again customers have to disappoint: "Sorry no Halifax, no Hampden, no Short Sunderland ... But we do have a new Spitfire"😂🤣
