I'm thrilled you found the video suspenseful! Hitchcock certainly knew how to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Your kind words mean a lot, and yes, experience does play a big role. Looking forward to having you back for the next one!

@@JETScaleModels Yes, he sure did. I'll be there. You can count on it.

Thanks- making these videos are as fun as the model building - although its a challenge at times as well

Absolutely! Mistakes are such a crucial part of the learning process, aren't they? I'm really glad you appreciate the transparency in my videos. Modeling, like any craft, involves its fair share of trial and error. Showing those mishaps and how to overcome them not only makes the final product more relatable but also helps others realize that perfection isn't the goal; progress is. Keep experimenting, keep learning, and most importantly, keep enjoying the journey! Thanks a lot for your kind words and for being part of this community of modelers.

Thanks Jeff- are you tempted 😊to

@@JETScaleModels Oh yes, One of these days I'll build one. Jeff

Thank you! Painting can indeed be a bit of a challenge, especially with intricate subassemblies like this one. When it comes to painting individual pieces before assembly, it really depends on the complexity and accessibility of the parts. For subassemblies where access is limited once glued, I tend to paint individual pieces beforehand to ensure thorough coverage and detail. It's all about finding that balance between ease of painting and ease of assembly. Experimenting with different approaches can help find what works best for each project. Thanks for bringing up this important aspect of modeling!

While the LEE and GRANT kits are intriguing, I'd lean towards the Miniart versions myself if I were to dive into them. However I've got quite a backlog to tackle on my channel as well! 😅 Feel free to message me via my Facebook page if you need to reach out.

Right on 👍
