Wow! Those stencils are absolutely beautiful! But you truly have the patience of Job! Very glad you are back, and very much enjoyed your update. The Bismarck can always make it to the show next year. Looking forward to the next update! Take care.
Hi Steve , I highly rate the 1ManArmy masks , I have used them a few times ( tamiya f35 , tamiya 1/32 mosquito, border models 1/32 Lancaster and Airfix 1/24 Spitfire ) , they are one of the first aftermarket items I search for when thinking about a new kit , I have also found the MRP fine surface primers work really well in conjunction with the masks .
The Tempest is looking good. Sorry to hear you weren't able to take the Bismarck to Telford, but there is always next year. From watching the HMS Hood build I know you don't like to rush a build through and prefer making sure the detail is as correct as possible. I look forward to the next installment of the Tempest build.
Interesting that you didn't use transfer tape for the stencils Steve. I've seen other demos that have and it seems to complicate correct positioning and takes longer. I'm aiming to use these for my Kotare Spitfire - a simpler method is most welcome.
Thanks Phil The demo I had at Telford showed that transfer tape isn’t necessary on the smaller stencils - just the larger codes where there are internal shapes and multi layer roundels.
Great work as usual, Steve. I do like the 1 Man Army Masks. On a personal note, your video's have become a part of my Friday afternoon routine here in the States, and you were missed over the last few weeks.
Great to see you back posting and the Typhoons looking fab. It was really enjoyable to talk to you at Telford and thanks for the advice regarding my own upcoming build of this kit.
I’ve been worried about the Bismarck - was it the missing boat that sidetracked it? Glad you got the Lancaster done, though - you have so many projects going, how long do you typically spend modeling in a day? I’ve got a day job, so it’s as much as I can do to make progress on one model at a time, and they often take months in spite of my distinctly lower detail level, not to mention research.
It was a bit I received the 3d yawl on the Wednesday before Telford. I missed finishing the model by a couple of days. I suppose I’d average 4 hours a day and I like the variety I get from having a couple of. different subjects on the bench
Loving those Stencils Steve! I received a free generic sample set from an American hobby company with a recent order I had made. Now I can’t wait to try them after watching your video review of them. Did the Lanc win anything at Telford?
Very nice detailing, the look great.
Thank you 👍
Them stencils look great this has convinced me to get some for future builds
They’re top notch - make such a difference

I’m a fan as well 👍

Thank you she’s finished this week and I’m happy with the result
Thank you for demonstrating this excellent product. These marks are incredible. I must get a set.
They are I love them

I fell in love with those stencils after my first go. I just got some for my border models Lancaster.
Me too Mike 👍
Good to hear from you again Steve. There's always *Telford 2024* to look forward to.
Thanks Ron 👍
great tuition with OMA stencils
Thanks Mick

Nice to know Andreas thank you
Hi Steve, welcome back... Those masks look great, do they cater for smaller kits? IE 1/48?
No not yet John but I think they will at some point. it will be testing the limits of the technology though to do 1/48 stencils
beautiful model, especially nice to have so many marking painted on instead of using decals.
Thank you 👍
Love the stencil masks! Great technique with them and with the panel line / streak shadows too. Really enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Thanks Jeff
That explains why I couldn't see Bismark in the competition area on Saturday...
Yes sorry about that
Very nice. Much better than decals ?
Much better Jerry IMO. Decals take just as long to apply and these eliminate the risk of silvering
Great to see you back posting and the Typhoons looking fab. It was really enjoyable to talk to you at Telford and thanks for the advice regarding my own upcoming build of this kit.
Always nice to meet viewers in person - hope your build is coming along.

Those stencils are worth every penny. Great instructional again Steve.
Thank you 👍
Amazing as always !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers 👍
Very impressed with the quality of the masks. Expertly executed.
Welcome Back Mr Steve.
Thank David
Bravo le grand Charle prend forme ils est superbe bonne continuation
I love your work…you’re an artist and I’m a better model builder from watching your work. Any idea what your next airplane build will be?
It’s coming up starting 1 Dec - stay tuned 🤔
Hi Steve, loving the build. Could I please ask a question re your curved bench light. What make us it and would recommend one.
Thanks Steve. Jason 🇬🇧
I did a review here Jason. I like it but I’m not sure I would spend what it costs. ua-cam.com/video/27mlEbfNvMU/v-deo.html
Thanks Steve, much appreciated.
