Thanks for tackling this kit. You make it look so easy but i know how frustrating those little parts can be. You're doing a great job. I hope I can do as good on mine.

Thank you for the kind words! Those little parts can definitely be tricky, but with patience and attention to detail, I'm sure you'll do an amazing job on yours too. Happy modeling, and feel free to reach out if you need any tips or advice along the way!

Hi James, I’m trying to finally finish up my miniart dingo. I feel your pain since I was dealing with minute parts as well! I do have the Stuart but will tackle that in the summer months. Thanks for sharing!

I'm a little concerned about your confidence (LOL)

No need to worry! I'm feeling confident and ready to assist. What's on your mind?

I am always amused that you use Tamiya ultra thin cement. It never seem to hold for me. On top of paint! Heck no. I would be in there scraping the paint off with my knife before gluing.

@JETScaleModels 2 ай бұрын

Hi Gary, I see you have a different experience with Tamiya cement. I actually prefer Tamiya Extra Thin myself and find it works great for bonding plastic. It's not just the glue that holds the bond; it's the melting together of plastic. While I do scrape paint when required, I try to focus my energy on other aspects of getting a project done that make better use of my time. In my experience you don’t need to scrape paint for every situation.Everyone has their own techniques! …not sure where you’re coming from as far as being amused- but glad I can be of some amusement.

@@JETScaleModels maybe I should have used the word suprised instead of amused. You do excellent work.

@@garybaran501 I understand! If you feel that "surprised" would have been a better word choice than "amused," great as the amused can seem pejorative.That being said your recognition is truly appreciated, and I'm glad you like my work! Also BTW I'm just lazy I guess when it comes to scraping paint.

Yep I get it As I said in a post in the community section I mentioned that I was trying a new macro lens that won’t be used again after this video. I didn’t realize the depth of field wasn’t so great 😭Sometimes when one makes these videos to share with people sheet happens .💩thanks for taking the time to give feedback, trust me I know it can be frustrating. Take the good and leave the rest. The majority is fine.

And one little thing uncle jet can you turn the jams down just a bit. The volume when you speak is great, but the music is a bit to loud. Great work thus far. Thinking about starting my stuart next, I bought a month before the tiger models interior for the academy honey kit, lol. Was going to start thst one but this one has got me hungry for another full interior kit. Just finished ryefields 5025 full interior tiger 1, wittmans 1331 at kursk, excellent kit, I recommend modlers pick it up.

@JETScaleModels 2 ай бұрын

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback and glad you're enjoying the content. I'll definitely adjust the music volume to make sure it's not overpowering. Your plans for starting the Stuart sound exciting-those full interior kits really do add a lot of detail. That Ryefield Tiger 1 kit sounds impressive too! Thanks for the recommendation-I'll keep an eye out for it. Happy modeling!
