      This reminds me of the work of a carpenter that Tracy Kidder described in his book "House." The carpenter was building the stairs to the second floor of the house and taking extreme care on a part of the house that would be impossible for anyone to ever see until the house was demolished a 100 years later. Yet, he took the time to do what would be considered finish carpentry on a piece where rough carpentry would be just fine structurally. That's craftsmanship.

    • @christiankirkwood3402
      @christiankirkwood3402 4 роки тому +1

      It's called scratch building - it's been around since the time before scale models became what they are today - this particular artform as performed here owes its origins to a guy named Shepard Paine - he used to perform similar feats on 1/48 Monogram aircraft back in the '70,s :)

    • @christiankirkwood3402

    i love watching this guy. after working on f-18/c's, its always bugged me that most, if not all (that i know of) standard kits are just plain incorrect when it comes to part placement or scale.

  • @JustAnotherBuckyLover
    @JustAnotherBuckyLover 4 роки тому +35

    I genuinely have NO idea how you do this. I can't even make out all the parts with the image magnified and on a big monitor... how the heck do you even SEE that stuff to do it? Even with magnification, I'm squinting in an attempt to see it clearly. I mean ok, I know my vision sucks but good grief... I take my hat off to you, sir. Wonderful work, even if my eyes are aching in sympathy now!

      @kevinw3671 4 роки тому +3

      Agreed. Might be easier, for us, if he put the before and after shots together. That way, we could pause the video and compare. I find myself going back and forth, and still finding details he added that I missed the first few times.

    • @shutter-chan
      @shutter-chan 4 роки тому +2

      He probably uses his camera as a magnification tool to see very small details.

  • @stephenbridges2791
    @stephenbridges2791 4 роки тому +3

    Absolutely amazing modeling skills. Snap kits are a good way to start if you have never scratch built. If you mess up, it's not an expensive mistake (usually). But, the level you are at, is attainable by very few of us. Great video.

    • @cylinetris4549
      @cylinetris4549 4 роки тому +1

      All though im only a Legacy Hornet expert, there is one thing that is wrong. In ur last Video u added the Wingfold to ur Model and also rearranged the Trailing edge Flap as well as the Aileron, the Shrouds and Leading Edge Flap. The mistake was made on the Outer Wing. In order to fold a Wing on a F/A-18 the Aileron has to be in Streamline, this means that u would never had to cut off the Aileron nor the LEF, they where allready in the right Position.

    • @cylinetris4549
      @cylinetris4549 4 роки тому +1

    David, I don't know if your editing software is capable, but you might want to try putting "still" shots of before and after modifications side by side on the same screen. It would showcase your magnificent work. You also could put up still shots of the photos of the real thing next to the details you add to the models. GREAT WORK!
