Man...if there were oscars for modelling videos, this would win best film and best director....a truly unique take of a build. If Border Models don't use this and you as promotion then they ain't worth the effort you put in....
It's insane! I'm making stop motion builds with military sets made from bricks and I costs a lot of work. You put stop motion builds in completely unreachable level for me. You are my God now!
Stunning stop action production. Well done. I’m building a Lancaster in memory of my dad who flew 32 missions as an m/u gunner with 101 Sqn over the March-September 1944 period. I’m showing my grandkids what their great grandfather did in WW2.
The price of this model is almost as high as the skill you show in building and filming it. I can dream of buying the model but I can only stand and admire your work knowing I could never match it. Thanks for posting.
Simply stunning, the combination of a beautiful build, amazing video and superb music. I think I have watched it three times already. Looking forward to the diorama
An absolute triumph of modeling and videography. My jaw is still on the table. I feel like I'm in a dream. How is what I just witnessed even possible. Bravo!
You are not only an excellent model maker and painter, you’re a fabulous movie maker ! I’m amaze how you manage to have the pieces exactly the same place before and after paint…
Your patience, attention to detail & skill never cease to amaze me. Wonderful as always. Whenever I see you have a new video, I stop what I'm doing, make a cup of tea & just chill out; watching the magic happen.
Miniature building and stop motion photography...two of Tom's skills, refined and polished to such a high degree. It brings out all details and realism of his creations. A tribute to those brave airmen who flew, fight and die for Britain, so many years ago.
I’m not sure which is more impressive, your build and finish or the of quality of your video production. Your filming and editing are just so damned clean! I can’t even fathom how long it must take to perform these stop-motion builds but the end results are just as worthy of museum display as the subjects. Thank you for continuing to offer some of the best viewing anywhere.
I've been waiting for this Lancaster video for awhile now. It's outstanding, Tom. Please extend my congratulations and gratitude to the music composer as well. The whole package makes the years fall away to 1942 and turns what you've done into an experience not easily forgotten. Cheers.
¡Modelling at a level beyond the stars! I'm at one million of light years of your skills, but I am learning little by little, in every video of yours. ¡Thank you very much Tom!
Again I can only say such masterpieces that stand alone cannot be unhinged by their maker and how vast their life in awwh by the trained eye in wonder.
The amount of skill and craftsmanship that goes into these videos never ceases to amaze me - not only do the models look superb but the animation takes a tremendous amount of time and looks fantastic. Very, VERY impressive, your videos always put a huge smile on my face. Why doesn't this channel have at least 10 million subscribers? 🙂
Absolutely great work. Not only are you an exceptional visual artist but your modeling skills are complimentary. Way too many times one does not compare to the other.
This is the most incredible video you have ever made and I have ever seen. The detail in this scale is rarely captured but you made it real. One detail I'll bet your viewers missed is the Lancaster is the only bomber in WW2 to have a " loo", British for bath room. You actually caught it as the scale is big enough to put it in. I put this video up on my big screen TV, and it was incredible. Now if only I could build like this. That kit is almost a 6 month build easy. While many model builder videos talk over their building, this style is great " Just show me the model" :-) Congratulations and Thanks.
If you want to read an excellent book that describes the experience of the night bombing raids over Germany, I recommend "Bomber" by Len Deighton. He describes what happened on both sides, German and British, in unsparing detail. The book gets a bit gory but it ends with a colossal bombing raid that is very powerfully depicted. Regarding this Lancaster project, nobody does this kind of production better than Tom. I am always amazed by his detail and cinematography.
I never cease to be amazed by your work, Tom. From your flawless model building to your stop animation film making skills that would Ray Harryhuasen envious. It all just incredible. 👍💯
This is really without any doubt the most brilliant model kit building video ever made on YT. This deserves an Oscar, if it existed in this category. Imagine the time and effort Tom must have spend into making this…. Incredible!😊
I’m following other builds of this kit and sometimes wonder if they will be finished, with such a detailed model. Not only do you finish this kit superbly, you film it in a way that would be a monumental challenge in itself. Fantastic result from a supreme effort. Thanks for making this.
I simply have no words. I feel like watching Jesus turn water into wine. This is otherworldly. Also filling the panellines with the sprue plastic has to be the most ingenious thing I ever saw a modeller do. And don’t get me even started on the stop motion. The model in itself is perfection and would have carried the video, the stop motion makes this video an artpiece
Thanks for your kind words 😊. Using sprue as some kind of putty is relatively known in the modeller community. I just use it as often as possible for a seamless surface...
Itr boggles the mind on how you can paint such small parts and never see a brush stroke or paint overlaping and to get them to look so authentic? Plus never have a glue mark or seam showing! Beautifully done
This is just amazing. I’m building the Lanc too. It’s amazing how creative some people can be in editing artistic videos and fast-building at the same time.
From the quality of the actual build, to the production of the video, this had me watching in awe. The price of the kit is such, that sadly, it is unlikely to end up on my bench...........oh dear, I seem to have said that before though! Wonderful stuff. Thanks for all the work that's gone into this for us mere mortals to enjoy.
What a stunning build and video. You’re an inspiration. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into producing this. I’ll be watching more than once.
it's always another beautiful build. Really set the bar high for us fellow modelers! You need a time clock at your hobby room door so you can guesstimate the hours you have in modeling and stop motion photography! How much time do you have in this project not including the time you lay in bed thinking about it? like the one gentleman said definitely build of the year!!
When watching your videos, Im always fascinated by the fact that you are so determined to make a great video using so many images. I can imagine it slows the build down heavily, and you gotta think out what looks good for the sake of it looking logical! You have a great combination of many talents, which come together in these videos! great man!!
As always, great job Tom. Another fantastic model and video. How long did it take you to do the build and filming? I have this kit but am saving it until I have more free time to work on bigger projects.
An amazing job as always. Every time you'll find a way to make your videos better. In my opinion, the "sad" part is that as soon as the kit is closed one cannot admire the astonishing work you are doing inside it!
Absolutely mind blowing model building and video editing. Oscar nominations should be on the way to you now. Thanks again for another awesome video build 👍🏽👍🏽🍻🍻
This has to be the model making video of the year, no make that of the decade. Superb work and brilliant production, Tom.
I'm pleased to hear 😊
Totally agree 👍 Best of the best 👌
He does a great job, not only with the models, but the videos. Very cool
More of a video presentation than a model making video
My thoughts exactly , absolutely amazing , Stephen Spielberg eat your heart out 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😳😳😳👍🏻
Man...if there were oscars for modelling videos, this would win best film and best director....a truly unique take of a build. If Border Models don't use this and you as promotion then they ain't worth the effort you put in....
Thanks for your kind words 😊
All I can say is that this model and video deserve to be in a museum where it can be appreciated throughout the ages.Just outstanding work Tom!!!
Thanks a lot 😊
It's insane! I'm making stop motion builds with military sets made from bricks and I costs a lot of work. You put stop motion builds in completely unreachable level for me. You are my God now!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Why Tom is not in the movie industry is beyond me...been waiting for this video...Tom never disappoints!
Thank you very much 😊
Stunning stop action production. Well done. I’m building a Lancaster in memory of my dad who flew 32 missions as an m/u gunner with 101 Sqn over the March-September 1944 period. I’m showing my grandkids what their great grandfather did in WW2.
The amount of effort this video must have taken is mind blowing. To end up with such an incredible model as well is phenominal. Well done.
Thank you very much 😊
An incredible build, I just cannot imagine how many hours you condensed into 12 minutes. Very impressive, and thank you.
The price of this model is almost as high as the skill you show in building and filming it. I can dream of buying the model but I can only stand and admire your work knowing I could never match it. Thanks for posting.
Absolutely incredible finished product. The making of it deserves an Academy award for visual effects.
Absolutely amazing, everything about it - building, painting, photography, video work.....Brilliant!
I'm pleased to hear 😊
I watched with my jaw dropped the whole length of the video! That was insanely good, thank you Tom for sharing your artwork with us!
this must be THE best produced modelling video ever. kit is awesome and the recording is very sophisticated too.
Thank you very
There are some incredible model making creators around but this... this is next level.
Thank you very much 😊
Simply stunning, the combination of a beautiful build, amazing video and superb music. I think I have watched it three times already. Looking forward to the diorama
I'm happy to hear you like my work 😊
I never like or subscribe to any first video I see from anyone, ever. Until now. WOW!
I'm happy to hear 😊 thanks
Wow...the sheer amount of editing for this vid...and that's not to mention the actual model skills involved in making the kit...Amazing video!
Thank you very much 😊
This was magnificent.
Model making of the highest order-from a fifty year modeler.
Brilliant!
Thank you very much 😊
An absolute triumph of modeling and videography. My jaw is still on the table. I feel like I'm in a dream. How is what I just witnessed even possible. Bravo!
I'm happy to hear you like my work 😊
You are not only an excellent model maker and painter, you’re a fabulous movie maker ! I’m amaze how you manage to have the pieces exactly the same place before and after paint…
This is by very far the best modeling video I have ever seen. A masterpiece. Respect!!!
Thank you very much 😊
Your patience, attention to detail & skill never cease to amaze me. Wonderful as always. Whenever I see you have a new video, I stop what I'm doing, make a cup of tea & just chill out; watching the magic happen.
Absolutely stunning, I don't think there's enough words that can express the sheer magnificence of the work and the video, incredible, well done
Thanks a lot 😊
Miniature building and stop motion photography...two of Tom's skills, refined and polished to such a high degree.
It brings out all details and realism of his creations. A tribute to those brave airmen who flew, fight and die for Britain, so many years ago.
Thanks for your kind words 😊
This should be seen by way more people, really impressive
Thank you
I’m not sure which is more impressive, your build and finish or the of quality of your video production.
Your filming and editing are just so damned clean! I can’t even fathom how long it must take to perform these stop-motion builds but the end results are just as worthy of museum display as the subjects.
Thank you for continuing to offer some of the best viewing anywhere.
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Mesmerizing, as always. And the craftmanship! I'm in awe.
Fantastic and beautiful build.
Really like your video production and style.
Well storyboarded, crafted and edited.
No small feet I'm sure....
Thank you very much 😊
What a beautifully finished model.
Animation editing and production is of usual amazing standard. Thank you for all the work.
Thanks, you're welcome
Everything about this film is top drawer. thank you
Thank you very much - you're welcome 😊
Loved the wee detail at 1.53 the navigators seat tucking under the bench!
It was with a little wink
As ever, Tom, you somehow find a way to take things to another level. Simply outstanding.
Thank you very much
I've been waiting for this Lancaster video for awhile now. It's outstanding, Tom. Please extend my congratulations and gratitude to the music composer as well. The whole package makes the years fall away to 1942 and turns what you've done into an experience not easily forgotten. Cheers.
I'm happy to hear and I'll send the greetings to my friend who composed the music for me.
¡Modelling at a level beyond the stars! I'm at one million of light years of your skills, but I am learning little by little, in every video of yours. ¡Thank you very much Tom!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Your passion reveals itself in the details and time you put into parts you don’t see when the model is complete. Excellent work.
Thank you very much 😊
Hard to find words to praise this work of art. So grateful that you share your art with us !!!
Thanks - you're welcome 😊
I didn’t want this to end! Very well done, Tom. 👍🏻
Late at night and I thought ,skip through it and just see the end result. Once started couldn’t stop watching 👍
I'm pleased to hear 😊
1/32, only for the big boys 🤠 ....... Beautiful presentation and work.
Really great. The building alone must take a long time. Then to build it as a stop motion shows real commitment. Thanks!
its one thing to build this kit it’s another level when its stop motion , tom brady of modeling
Thank you very much - I'm honored to be compared to the goat 🏈🙏.
I couldn't do all the internal work and then seal it up. Glad you have video evidence!
I thought about cutting the fuselage in halves but decided to leave the structure untouched. As you mentioned the video still shows the interior 😅
Words fail me , a magnificent build of one of the best 32nd models out there , utterly brilliant
Thank you
Again I can only say such masterpieces that stand alone cannot be unhinged by their maker and how vast their life in awwh by the trained eye in wonder.
That is an absolutely insane build. I'm not sure I'll ever have that much motivation for a single project. Well done 👍
I am speechless... I am without words! Bravo!!!
The amount of skill and craftsmanship that goes into these videos never ceases to amaze me - not only do the models look superb but the animation takes a tremendous amount of time and looks fantastic. Very, VERY impressive, your videos always put a huge smile on my face. Why doesn't this channel have at least 10 million subscribers? 🙂
Thanks for your kind words 😊 never could be enough subscriptions 😅🙏
Excellent workmanship. Nice engine detail and quite accurate for the Packard Merlin 28. 👍
how this doesn't have more views is beyond me
Absolutely great work. Not only are you an exceptional visual artist but your modeling skills are complimentary. Way too many times one does not compare to the other.
I'm pleased to hear 😊

Wholly smoke, your another level, makes me want to be small enough to enter plane to see all the details. Great work 👍
Thanks for your kind words 😊
WOW! That is the first time I've seen a detailed model without "over shaded" panel lines ! Bravo
Another masterpiece! Video and model.
Thanks a lot
I never cease to be amazed by your work, Tom. From your flawless model building to your stop animation film making skills that would Ray Harryhuasen envious. It all just incredible. 👍💯
Thanks - too much honor 😊
Wow! The stop-motion is truly magical. Looks like an amazing kit that you did great justice to and this model looks fabulous.
Thank you
Has to be the best model-related video I have ever seen on UA-cam! I am lost for words. Congratulations. 👏🏻🍾🥇🏆
I can't imagine how long it took the animation on top of the modelling. You have made a fascinating and beautiful video!
This is really without any doubt the most brilliant model kit building video ever made on YT. This deserves an Oscar, if it existed in this category.
Imagine the time and effort Tom must have spend into making this…. Incredible!😊
Thank you very much 😊 - it took me appr one year from start to finish...
I’m following other builds of this kit and sometimes wonder if they will be finished, with such a detailed model.
Not only do you finish this kit superbly, you film it in a way that would be a monumental challenge in itself.
Fantastic result from a supreme effort. Thanks for making this.
dude took this too a new level....this isn't just modeling....this is Art
Fantastic job! It's the best Lancaster build on UA-cam! Just jaw dropping..
Omg, from all your videos, this one is most likely your biggest achievement!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you never stop to impress!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
Beautiful work and the animated build was superb entertainment.
I'm pleased to hear 😊
Tom, astonishing - from model to video production. Makes my afternoon.
Thank you very much 😊
Love these modelling tips throughout the video
I'm pleased to hear 😊

Beautifully done
Art of the highest level. Absolutely incredible work Tom. Your videos are so unique, the work involved must be absolutely immense.
Thank you
Fantastic model a tribute to all those who were involved during WW2 including my Father who was a hero !!
It's a shame that the interior of the plane can't be exposed to show that great detail. What a beautiful build!!!!
Without a doubt, the best modelling video I have ever seen . Simply superb. 👍
I'm happy to hear
This is just amazing. I’m building the Lanc too. It’s amazing how creative some people can be in editing artistic videos and fast-building at the same time.

Thanks for all the work that's gone into this for us mere mortals to enjoy.
Thanks for your kind words 😊 - and yes it's an expensive kit with pro and cons.
"Phantom of the Ruhr" Superb! But where do you display once done?
Two words in latin language describes Tom himself: "MODELATOR MIRABILIS", IMPRESSIVE MODELLER. You are out of this World Man!
Thank you very much 😊
Stunning commitment to detail. Well done!
I'm happy you like it 😊
Well done
Border model absolutely knocked this kit out of the park. By far the most realistic kit ever made. Nice work!!!
Thank you very much 😊. But border didn't make the molds. They came from Wingnut Wings
What a stunning build and video. You’re an inspiration. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into producing this. I’ll be watching more than once.
I'm happy to hear
that filling tip just blew my mind... im doing this from now on!!!
I'm glad I could be helpful.
Stunning attention; to detail and great camera work/production.
Thank you
Holy Moly. 12 minutes to watch, 12 months in the making? Very impressive!😳
Thanks a lot
Wow. That is PURE ART! Absolutely amazing! Thank you. 😍🤩
Thanks a lot 😊
it's always another beautiful build. Really set the bar high for us fellow modelers! You need a time clock at your hobby room door so you can guesstimate the hours you have in modeling and stop motion photography! How much time do you have in this project not including the time you lay in bed thinking about it? like the one gentleman said definitely build of the year!!
Thank you very much 😊 I've been working and thinking with and about for almost a year. I cannot tell how many hours went into this...
This build and the video was extraordinary. Just extraordinary. I know it took untold number of hours to produce. Bravo!
When watching your videos, Im always fascinated by the fact that you are so determined to make a great video using so many images. I can imagine it slows the build down heavily, and you gotta think out what looks good for the sake of it looking logical! You have a great combination of many talents, which come together in these videos! great man!!
Thanks for your kind words 😊
As always, great job Tom. Another fantastic model and video.
How long did it take you to do the build and filming? I have this kit but am saving it until I have more free time to work on bigger projects.
Thank you very much - I started the hole process nearly March 2022
An amazing job as always. Every time you'll find a way to make your videos better. In my opinion, the "sad" part is that as soon as the kit is closed one cannot admire the astonishing work you are doing inside it!
The closed details are always a problem. But it's the doing that counts.
Absolutely mind blowing model building and video editing. Oscar nominations should be on the way to you now. Thanks again for another awesome video build 👍🏽👍🏽🍻🍻
Thanks a lot 😊
Das ist nicht nur Sahnefischfilet, das ist Allererste! Grandios!!!
Vielen Dank! Es freut mich sehr, wenn es Gefallen findet.
I am utterly stunned!! It's mesmerising watching this incredible build. Thank you Tom. Steve
I'm glad you like it 😊
A-MA-ZING!! And you even managed to sneak a few tips in... Thank you!
Absolutely spectacular! Your talents are amazing, thank you for sharing!
Thank you - you're welcome 😊
I don’t know what’s more impressive the modelling or the video making.
