This is an excellent channel and I really like your videos. I'm not in a position to do any modelling at the moment but once I am I will be sure to use some of the techniques I've learnt from your very informative videos. Thanks for the content.
This morning I passed a skip with lots of polystyrene in it, the skip owner was very happy to let me fill my car boot up with the stuff. Fun times ahead thanks to you Don. Your creations just keep getting better, each one you do becomes my new favourite.

Love your works and your wonderful David Attenborough voice alike!! ❤️
Very impressive! Kellogg's last stand came out beautifully!
Wow, oh wow, you are like on another level Don
