- SCALEMODELMEDIC IS BACK. Part 1 is here, Part 2 is in progress right now. I needed a quick and relatively easy project to get me back into doing videos for myself... and this is it. A budget kit instead of an expensive Finemolds offering, some basic techniques, then a repaint and some weathering.
Once this one is out the way I have a few other projects to share with you, but first I really wanna do part 2.
Look for me on facebook. Search "SCALEMODELMEDIC" and hit LIKE! I love chatting to people on there. - Навчання та стиль
I built this model to give as a gift to my nephew. I wish this guy was around when I did it, because his ideas, and methods are great! Good job so far, and I really look forward to the next video.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You make some of the best model making vid on UA-cam it's great to have you back!!

Great video and glad to see you're back in the saddle making videos!
Such an awesome response from you guys, can't thank you enough. I guess I'd best just make sure part 2 is worth tuning in for!
Glad to see new content! I've used a lot of your tips in the past and have come to rely upon them as a point of reference. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Back with a bang! Great video, awesome to see you making new stuff!
good to have you back and very nicely made video - cheers!
Decent tutorials from Brits are few and far between. Glad to see you back. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. You're doing a fantastic job. Can't wait for Part 2. I have the Imperial Cruiser from Revell which is a "proper" kit, which I've been building with one of my lads over the past 2 years on/off. Good tips on the lighting.
good to see you back...look forward to seeing more of your work
I'm so glad I've found your channel as the tutorials are very professionally filmed & narrated. Now I'm subscribed I'm looking forward to future videos.
Glad to see your back, big fan of your work and tutorials.

Welcome back. Glad to see new videos from you.
Nice! Well done on that dish, hell of improvement and yes a nice touch had to be done.
Nice to see you are back with us.. & a grand job so far :-):-)
Nice job, looking good. And welcome back!
Glad you're back!
(I must admit I didn't "discover" your vids until late last year so I hadn't really been missing you. As much as I dig your vids I'll bet your longer lived fans have been anxiously awaiting your triumphant return.) Cheers!
Nice.....looking good. Good to have you back
Thank you for a wonderful video and option of model set for my brothers birthday! This really helped!
Great to see you back at the bench!
Thank you Jon, glad to have you back...
John, so very good to see you back!!!!
I have gotten back into modeling after a very, very long absence and have been surfing the net, looking for tips, advice and tutorials, trying to get back up to speed. The one thing I do appreciate about your videos, aside from your obvious talent, is your presentation. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
BTW - good work on the Humbrol videos.
Happy to see you back.
Glad to have you back !
Good to have you back.
Welcome Back! I can't wait to see what you will post next!
Great to see you back at it Jon...... and what a kit to come back on!! Well done mate, looking forward to the next vid...... :O )
Finally! Sooo glad you are back, I am a big fan of your work. Thank you! :)
Can't wait for the outcome, looks really nice already.
Very nicely done! In addition to your excellent model work, you've given me some great editing ideas to help improve my videos as well.
It is great to see you return. I've culled my subscriptions in the past when individuals have gone dormant for too long, but I never dropped yours. :) Glad I kept it in the list.
Great to see you back :) ! In the nicest possible way, I hadn't realised you'd been away - I just kept trawling through your vids & enjoying them :D ! They've been a really useful tool in my attempts to gain new skills (weathering for the most part) and techniques! All I can say now is roll on part 2 :D :D !!!!
Great to have u back Jon!!
Welcome back! Now you are back, can't wait for more :-)
Yay! Great to see you making videos again
Really great work, glad to see you. My boy has this kit waiting to do, so hopefully this will inspire him.
awesome! welcome back! cant wait for more videos, been wishing for more for awhile. and star wars to boot, score!!!!
Great to see you back again.
Hell yeah! Haha, it's about time. Glad to have you back, sir.
Helipilot27 did an extreme build of the Falcon, with fibre optics and tons of weathering. He did go overboard, but his was the cutaway version. I love seeing different people building similar kits and seeing what types of tricks I can pick up.
great to have u back medic :)
cant wait to se how this goes :P
Good to see you back Jon
This is Awesome News... and Welcome back ! Your work here is Incredible... that Dish alone did Steal the show.... You take care !
I have a few planes on the go but when I'm dun I'm gonna be doing a logging truck model the looks like the one my grandfather owned I plan on doing all the equipment that he had when he was alive and had his logging business.
keep up the vids I learn so much from them.i jest order my first airbrush a neo airbrush and compresser.
Great to have you back lad! Can't wait to see this project finished now, might have to give this one a go myself! Take care mate :)
It's great to have you back
A great job, congratulations
Yaaaaaaay your back....today has just gotten better
Great work. Love the narration.
At Last Jon, you're back! Great restart vid mate, looking forward to plenty more :)
Awesome Job!!
Welcome back!
Really enjoyed your video, keep it up
Good on you! Glad you're back!
Thanks Tom, bet my awful wiring gives you chills huh !
ScaleModelMedic
Not at all! It harkens me back to my first days. You are more brave than I was for my first attempt -a single red LED in the robot Maximllian's head.
Let me know if I can ever help with ideas, techniques or supplies!
Definitely. Welcome back, mate.
Woohoo! Welcome back! =)
awesome work
I have this kit, many thanks for the tips :)
Watched part 3 first and now starting part 1. Love what I've seen so far:D
Liked the bit about the model kit costing more than a car.
My last car cost $350 us. lol
Of course, the car didn't run when I got it, and I'm having to somewhat re-assemble a fair portion of it myself...
But hey, that model doesn't fly, and I'd have to build it myself too:P
I soooo missed you saying "Sanding Sponge". Good to see you back.
Hahaha thanks I like that one. Is it the accent or just the choice if words?
ScaleModelMedic The accent. But really it is nice to have you back. I also hope you might do a video about aircraft canopies one day.
ScaleModelMedic
For me it's the accent for sure! Because you are one of the few english men that speak english exactly like in our "english lessons school book!
I understand every single word you say and that make me very happy!
Actually I'm italian.
Good job on upgrading this kit. Sigh, Maplins.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.
woah, 0 dislikes, ur that amazing!!! :) keep up the good work
Wow, how old are you??? Thank you, thank you...
Now, I don't have to justify to anybody, my age after watching your videos...
Much appreciated, because I love the Millenium Falcon and Star Wars...
I feel like, I now fit in... More videos, please...
Happy you are back :D! sorry im late
love the comment about the price and the pics of the cars haha ;)
Welcome back Jon! - Have you seen the fine molds 1/144 Falcon? A lot cheaper and a great looking kit.
Nice challenge.
Good to see your back, do you happen to make the humbrol channel as well?
First off thanks for these videos they have inspired me to get back into modeling. I have not used Styrene sheet much, how did you go about removing center area of the A frame. did you also use the Razor saw? Thanks Again.
Awesome :)
wow. I think I still have that model lying around somewhere.
Hi, great vid first of all. Would you mind telling me where you purchased the coated wire? I'm just about to start the mpc model kit. So very looking forward to spending some serious time making it all it can be
Welcome back Jon, looks like your throwing yourself in at the deep end with this Falcon kit. It is a nice kit but does have its faults the main one for me it the side panels that fit between the upper and lower hull pieces, as there far to wide, the Studio model has very thin sides. But other than that is ok. Interesting to see you putting lights in it as it's something I'd like to do but have very little clue how to. I do watch Boyd over at Trekworks for lighting tips.
Looking forward to part 2 and Welcome back again.
Andy.
Modelmantom is a lighting wizard too, for me its a dark art and I'm useless at it. The kits rough I'll say that, but at less than a tenth of the cost of the finemolds I'll take it!
ScaleModelMedic Look at the bright side, you're keeping the lighting relatively simple and at least you didn't fry any circuit boards like I did in my 1/350 Enterprise model. As for the Revell kit, it can be made to look like a great model with some work. And with its price point, if you mess up you aren't going to lose any hair either.
You should build the Bandai one. Its a good price and has excellent details.
those xr3i's were good looking cars,
Where did you get the plastic coated wire? Is it just from a coat-hanger?
I'm sorry if I missed it, but did you ever measure the length to confirm the scale? Is it actually 1:72?
what size styrene strips did you use? great vid by the way, got my falcon co ing next week, cant wait after following this.
they're about 2.5mm thick from evergreen. part 3 is being filmed already, for anyone not following the Facebook page
Is there a tool I can use to smooth out brush marks a after the paint has dried
?
Can i ask where you got that small double edged razor saw? It looks wonderfully helpful!

Best part of the video comes in at about 6:18.
£419.99?! What a worth!
Beautiful job on the Falcon. Urgent question: I recently purchased the FineMolds 1/72 Falcon online- but the scammers who sold it did not include the bottom half of the Falcon! ( They gave me duplicate top halves instead.) Now I know why it was so cheap ($125) Wondering (hoping)
I can do some surgery and use the MPC bottom half and somehow graft / sculpt/ merge it onto the FineMolds top half. Possible?! Your opinion please. Thank you!
Bit of a tough one, I've never seen either kit in the flesh so I don't know what the part makeup is like however the overhang on the top and bottom plates of the falcon do provide a natural place to perform such a graft if you were going to do it, it just depends whether either kit has a full side wall you can use. This is one you would need to really assess in person with both kits out on the bench.
You could have trimmed the LEDs with the razor saw instead of removing the inner wall.
An added advantage is extra diffusion from the cut edge.
Where did you get your reference pictures from?
Pah...£420! Where's ya commitment ;)
Where you get the colour ? ;)
all black wiring, brave indeed!
LOL! Brave? No, stupid, yes! But like I said when I started I knew nothing of electronics and I now know very little. It was fun, I'd do it again. I also need to learn to solder well.
soldering is easy. just go and solder loads of useless stuff before you stab your iron into the plastic of a kit
i spoiled a star trek voyager that way. ended up with a big old phaser score down the back!!
Sanding Sponge :DD
wow your a cool dude
I'm so glad I've found your channel as the tutorials are very professionally filmed & narrated. Now I'm subscribed I'm looking forward to future videos.
Great to have you back Jon. Great video, Look forward to your next update :)
