As an RC modeller, I thank you for your great contribution to the golden era of 1/16 scale. These models are often the basis for modification to driving ones. The market for all kinds of accessories and figures has expanded.
I'm still waiting to see your painted 1/16 Scale M10 Achilles Andy. Congratulations on the awards for the Sherman and the Tiger 1 Early. I bought the latter in March last year and I'm now finally painting it.
I don’t even build military models but these are fanatastic! Think I may have to dive in to one of these. Thanks a lot Andy for adding another project in my life! Lol!
My eyes are killing me (it's late), but I watched this and saw your fantastic models! Wow, Andy! You really are great! I love that Easy 8, man, and all those German pieces! I love that Stug, man! It's hard to rank them, they are all so good! Yeah, take care! We love you, Andy!
Andy, your kits are incredible and I own most of them! I’d adore a 1/16 Churchill tank! I’d buy at least two! Can’t wait for the acav! In the mean time please keep producing amazing 1/16 kits!
First things first! I love your videos and model kits! So keep up the good work. I like your reviews but I also miss the building videos, I used them as reference and to learn (actually learnt a lot). Greetings from south america
Everything looks awesome Andy. How about a video on you or your figure manufacturer doing full paint up of a figure. Thanks in advance. How about a 1/16 scale Hellcat.
Andy, Many congratulations on the awards…..so well deserved….love the kits……..would absolutely love a Matilda…my Uncle Dennis was in the Desert Rats and the Matilda was the tank he drove into the battle of El Alamein. I’m sure you can appreciate how much I personally would love such a model. My family was a large family all of whom other than my father (he was only very young at the time) fought during the War, even my Aunts either made parachutes or ammunition in the factories in and around Wolverhampton (U.K) and my ambition is to build a model celebrating each ones Service…….. Congratulations again.
Cool video Andy! Keep ‘em coming. Also, a Brit Matilda would be a great addition for your (and our) 1/16 North Africa stable! Or maybe a 1/16 S.A.S. Land Rover Pink Panther! Looking forward to it whatever it is!
Really, really nice. I have a 1/16th Challenger 2 that I'm playing with at the moment but I don't have another 1/16th hole for anything else. Now you are doing a 1/16th M113! I haven't worked out YET how I could get away with buying one when it comes out. Most models I can resist the temptation but I do love the M113.
Hi Andy, that certainly is a great collection of 1/16th kits, way too large for me, I would consider the M113, I would really like to see you go back to the 1/35th scale builds, very happy to see your business go from strength to strength, best regards from Australia, Les
thank you Andy for all these beautiful 1/16 kits. It’s a very interesting scale and one that can be detailed in abundance. (by the way, I really enjoyed building your M8). Continue in this direction. Have a good one.
Great builds! I have your 1/16 Sherman and Tiger and had a blast with both of them. Unfortunately, the scale is just too large for me and the space I have. However, I may have to squeeze in the M113 since my uncle served in Vietnam on one.
Great video Andy and even better collection of 1/16kits ,truly a master modeler Hoping for m18 hellcat ww2 tank next or a m26 Pershing, can't wait for the next kit 😊
Superb creations Andy, I already have 3. But please, produce a 1/16 Harley iron horse..... it's very lacking in this scale. Do you think you will do it in the near future? Thanks
Hi Andy, thanks for taking your time from your daily business and showing us these very nicely done models (I miss your build videos, I was re-watching some of them just for the fun of it). Unfortunately I cannot follow you into the 1:16 country (albeit it would do wonders for my eye sight painting the details) but I just don't have the space to exhibit them. Do you have your own model gallery ? ;-) If you're into the North African theater, could/would you do British vehicles ? Are there even 1:16 Matilda IIs and Crusaders ? Not to mention the rather quirky looking early english light and cruiser tanks.
Great models. By the way, the left track on your Pz. I Ausf. A is mounted in reversed running direction. I, like others, have mixed feelings towards 1/16 scale. Too large for me to put anywhere. Even a small base for them has the size of a full blown 1/35 diorama. Putting an aftermarket crew into them easily turns into a three-digit- endeavor. I have decided to just have two models in this scale, my own personal favored tanks, one of them being Andy’s own Tiger model (with a third of the initial investment spent on top for a correction set. And some more for a new tank commander). Everything else is and will continue to be in 1/35.
Very cool, Andy. A couple of questions. First, have you seen something called a "media blaster"? Many years ago I saw a model of a German North Africa vehicle that had been painted a steel color and then had the DAK yellow applied over it. The builder then used the "media blaster" to simulate the wind driven sand that "chipped" away the DAK paint, very realistically. I saw that you heavily chipped your Panzer 1, but thought about how it would look if it was actually "sand blasted". Second, do you have any idea if someone will plan after market parts for your M113 so it can be turned into something newer? I'm not really a 1:16 modeler but if I could produce an M113A3, that would be way cool. Thanks!
What can I say. No Soviet armor here. Who in a world needs 113 while we don’t have is2 or is3? Su76? We have couple t34 but they pretty lame on modern standards
@@randomnickify how so? I don’t need any modern armor. But we don’t have ww2 armor which fights against nazis. Furthermore we have 113 which run all over the place in some Eastern European country
I like the 1:16 scale but with 1:16 and 1:48 armour matching the standard aircraft scales why can’t someone like Tamiya break into 1:32 scale armour, call it MM 32, and upscale their 1:35 best examples to 1:32.
What's missing in the 1/6 and needed are interior detail sets for modelers who want to open everything up to see inside and figures in combat poses. For example, action poses like standing by the turret and firing the 50 BMG, and seated figures driving, loading, and aiming the gun instead of the usual boring standing-around poses that come in just about every kit. BORING! Can we have some action, please!
I’d like to see less 1/16 as well,I also liked the older videos that had assorted builds,it’s like the same kits over and over,Nigel did the same with Lancasters,and I unsubscribed to his channel.Can we hope for more build videos for builders that can’t afford these 1/16 huge kits
So much for Mediocre 'eh.... I like these and all, but I miss the old channel, building kits that most people could afford and had room for... these 1/16 scale ones are far too large and out of budget for a model kit for me.... it's a switch every once in a while, but nowadays it seems everything is one of these, or some parts review.... I've almost stopped watching where I use to watch every video....
Same here. I will let Andy do the thing he loves. But for me 1/16 just doesn't work. They are rather expensive and I don't know where I'd leave the finished models. Glad there are smaller scales for people like us. :)
How is he wrong? He stated his opinion on the matter. "You are wrong" means someone doesn't gets his facts right. There are no facts in this thread. Only opinions. You can agree or disagree but you cannot say "you are wrong". Especially not without any sort of reasoning.

Thank you for watching.
You now have 23 Tigers 🤣

Congratulations again.
I remember the quaint diorama videos you posted way back in the original smaller shop.
Nice work Andy!

Thanks for all the work that you do in the Hobby. Love the videos!
Thanks for watching!
Just wow!!!!!
Thank you
Great work Andy, looking forward to the M113 and seeing what the new kit will be, glad I got a Tiger I when I did.
Thank you I’m excited to see it too
Really, really nice. I have a 1/16th Challenger 2 that I'm playing with at the moment but I don't have another 1/16th hole for anything else.
Now you are doing a 1/16th M113!
I haven't worked out YET how I could get away with buying one when it comes out. Most models I can resist the temptation but I do love the M113.
Amazing models, awesome scale, my favourite is the The Sturmgeschütz III - you did a great job on that ✌️😊👍💜
Thank you I love that kit
Congratulations on your kit of the year
Thank you!
Impressionnant !!!! BRAVOS!!!!!!
Thank you.
Wow, these look really great!
Glad you like them!

Thank you I appreciate it.
The Panzer I kit would be so nice as a Sturmpanzer I Bison or Panzerjäger I.
Yes I agree
All Hail KING ANDY !!
Andy, thats business opportunity - do release rotating stand big enough for 1/16 models ;D
Great video & beautiful work on your 1/16 scale models. Keep it up!😁✅
Thank you very much!
Great builds cool vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you it’s good to look back at what I have built over the years.

You are a really good modeler, Andy!
Thank you very much
Great video Andy and even better collection of 1/16kits ,truly a master modeler
Hoping for m18 hellcat ww2 tank next or a m26 Pershing, can't wait for the next kit 😊
Stayed tuned next kit is going to be exciting
That scale is the best IMO
I was looking for some of these 1/16 reviews, thanks!
Glad I could help!
Awesome work Andy any chance of getting 16th scale soft skin like cargo trucks
So many models
Very nice collection ! 1/16 is my favourite scale...the only problem ... You need space in your home !
Fantastic job, wishing you continued success. I must get my hands on a 1/15 Tiger !
Thanks for watching
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Oops 1/16th Tiger, as always great videos.
Really looking forward to the M113!!😎
Me too , very soon
Superb creations Andy, I already have 3. But please, produce a 1/16 Harley iron horse..... it's very lacking in this scale. Do you think you will do it in the near future? Thanks
I very miss your build video
jolie collection ;)
Thanks 😁

PS: Do you still have some of these "Mediocre Modeller" T-shirts on sale ? From AAHQ Europe ? I'd love to buy a couple of them ;-)
Chinese Tankette, Japanese Tankette... looks good anyway!
I'd really appreciate an M3 Stuart in 1/16 scale.

We need VW Typ 166 Schwimmwagen Steyr 1500A Ford V 3000 Maultier in 1/16 Andy 🙏🏻
3:58 The Panzer 1 Ausf B gun mantlet is upside down !. All these are stunning kits though
Nice, Andy! A suggestion for 1/16 scale model candidate: Eddie Rickenbacker, WWI ace either in a Spad XIII, or in an early Indycar, or both.
Did you ever finish the tamiya1/16 centurion?
Hi Andy, any chance we will see a wrecker or a 2 1/2 ton truck?
I’m always open to suggestions.

Great video !! Do you think we will ever see any 1/16 engines for our bigger tanks ?
Hopefully some aftermarket
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters hopefully one day
Hi Andy,
What happened to the 1/16th Jagde Panther you built years ago?
Be nice if an aftermarket company makes the external tanks for the M113 to convert it to an A3 version or even the slate armor upgrade... :)
Salut belle brochette de maquettes et le Abraham's au 1/16,????
Makes mine amateurish!
What happened to the British tank destroyer?
It’s not done yet . I show it in the video
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters Andy, thanks for the update. They all look great, excellent work
👍👍👏👏
Cmon Andy….we need pre dreadnoughts. Use your pull in Europe/Far East🤣🤣🇺🇸
1/16 is too big. They should do 1/24.
What can I say. No Soviet armor here. Who in a world needs 113 while we don’t have is2 or is3? Su76? We have couple t34 but they pretty lame on modern standards
Or some inter/early war soviet desings
Soviet is bit... tacky this days in case you didn't noticed.

A few years ago you had to wait a long time before there was a new kit.
