Many thanks for all the positive feedback folks, it is much appreciated! I'm working on my next video and will have that up as soon as I can.

Spot on mate. Spilling glue, paint, decal water, even single malt whisky is part of the challenge.( I've drank paint water and dipped brushes in single malt! Not cool!)
And, your not human if your not dropping shit on the carpet and finding it at a distance that defies the laws of physics.
Keep it coming.

Love the work bench complaint. People that actually get things done usually have a cluttered work bench.

A clean and neat workbench is a very cold and lonely place.

That was fun. Please make more. I love people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Great video here's one: painting the interior of a plane when you won't be able to see it after it's built. Please help me understand this.

I had to quit running music on my channel because Youtube kept popping me for copyright violations for royalty free music.  Go figure.

Lmao 🤣 Yes I question my sanity on a daily basis.. I use lots and lots of different techniques and skills I've been able to learn over the years.. When someone builds models the way I do PRIMER IS NECESSARY for all body parts and I've found that dark gray works for my eyes to see imperfect areas.. I don't build for COMPETITION or to make others happy, but I only want to make myself smile with my work.. I'm no better or worse than you or anyone else.. We are supposed to have fun and enjoy this HOBBY and not make others feel bad because they don't build the way we do.. We all have our own expectations of what we want our own work to be.... REGARDLESS OF WHAT OTHERS THINK 😎👍BTW there's no RIGHT or WRONG way to build your own models....

Never did get the box opening videos, you open a model box and what a suprise, there is a model in it, who new?

I’m just starting back to modelling after 40yrs and this is the best video I’ve watched, a lot of the other videos just make you think you can never be as good as they make out they are,and it’s just supposed to be enjoyable!

I started building models in the 60’s. So many were blown up shortly after completion.  Now I’m much older and getting back into the hobby and your video has been most enjoyable. So many so called experts over complicate everything. And don’t get me started on the music, especially the extended loud intro with endless montages. I’d wager that I would agree with most of everything even what you probably left out. Good luck with your new channel.

Great first video. Been modeling over 60 years.  Our hobby NEEDS this kind of video!  Now about raised versus recessed panel lines 😋

At last a man after my own heart! Been modelling for years, watch all the methods on YouTube and in the end do it as I've always done it. My AFVs still look used, worn, grubby & realistic. Thanks for the video, smiled all the way through it.

Ha!!!! Great video and I feel exactly the same.

Funnily enough, my wife’s grandmother (Somebody rest her soul) was in the WAAF in the big ‘old WW2, and her job was to organise the repair of damaged aircraft. I spoke to her about my modelling, and she chastised me for black-basing my model as they didn’t do that in real life. And besides, paint fades it doesn’t go dark.

The only thing I do do is to prime my models. Whilst I can make everything as well as I can, I’m not perfect and priming can show things I’ve missed. I do, however, sand my priming coat to make it as smooth as possible and thing it out so not to obscure detail as you mention.

You’re spot on with decals being applied from its backing sheet. I just don’t know why people take them off the sheet and then applying them, with the only exception being tiny decals which I do.

Keep them coming.

Brilliant! As someone coming back to the hobby in his 50s, I've certainly been influenced by the Rockstar youtubers and their black Primer (I'm an AV guy). Your video was not only hilarious, but also educational and thought provoking. Keep them coming. Have subscribed and look forward to more....

There’s a very good reason to use black primer, even if eventual color is white.

Honestly this is an amazing first video, on the level of lots of other modelling youtubers. The production value is amazing and I would have never have guessed this is video 1! Also it seems you are a much more down to earth modeller, I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Keep up the good work!

You had my subscription at "no background music". The rest of your incredible inaugural video is just gravy. Looking forward to your content!

I have never knocked over glue, but I did knock over microset/microsol before.

I think that a black base/prime is essential for some metallics . I agree that it's not always essential to prime but I mostly prime most of my work
