You are a true modeling artist my friend, just love the effects you've managed on the tools. Great results, model on!! Johnny

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@user-vgrau]

Really like the periscopes on this one. I'll steal the idea for my build ;) Great video! Hope you'll come back to this channel.

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Thanks man! I’m planning on it, see you this fall with some new content ;)

[@user-vgrau]

Great video! Been wondering how to fix those optics on modern armor.

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Thanks, its one of my favorite techniques now

[@13bravo72]

Great idea with those periscopes!! Stryker looks outstanding. Very nice attention to detail! 😊

[@szechuan.sheridan1670]

Great quality for a small channel, big things coming your way man, keep it up

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Thanks!

I have used mirror tape and painted over it but it is a little thick so i will be trying the nail tape many thanks for the suggestion . Regards Gav.

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Glad to help! Good luck!

Great video John! Neat trick with the nail foil, I was eyeing some of my wife's Cricket vinyl for the same purpose, but was thinking it may be too thick, this is probably a better way to go! And great job on the tools as well.

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Thanks! Yeah the fact that it was super thin make it pretty nice to work with, but super fragile at the same time

[@Emtbtoday]

That's the stuff I use too That nail film! Much cheaper than afv clubs pre cut stuff actually think they look better aswell!

[@RimsModels]

fantastic video my friend great tip on the periscopes and the tools look great thanks for sharing 🥲🥲

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Thanks!

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Interesting idea with that film!

[@TheScaleEngineer]

thanks! Really happy with the way it turned out

[@sebastianosterman5056]

Such a great idea!! Love it :)

[@trevoratchison3904]

Great work very nice. Which colour would you use for ww2 periscopes

[@TheScaleEngineer]

thank you! ww2 periscopes were not polarized, so id leave them either dark grey or maybe a very deep blue-grey

[@helios558]

Nice work do you have link for this set

[@TheScaleEngineer]

for the nail foil?
It should be in the description, but let me double check

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Yeah it's in the description

[@БрониславЧередников]

Thanks for tutorial. Tell me please, what kind of glue do you use?

[@TheScaleEngineer]

Elmers lol, nothing fancy! The clear coat really helps seal it in

[@TheScaleEngineer]

If you can’t get Elmer’s, any water-based PVA (white glue) will work

[@michalgajdos7575]

Wondered if you beat Plasmo aka genius.Them links better be fresh,I got no luck with Plasmo's .Thanks anyway

[@TheScaleEngineer]

I’ll try to refresh those links for ya, they can be pretty finicky
