I'm an Aircraft, Armoured Vehicle, Ship and Car modeller.. in that order! I enjoy the variety of the hobby more than anything, but am yet to build a motorcycle or a truck.. :)

Unlike some professional modellers here on YouTube I don't flog any products, or promote any special brands.. I just build whatever I fancy!

I can't guarantee I will watch every video I subscribe to, or comment on them.. nor do I expect everyone of my subs to watch all of my vidoes.. or comment! But I ALWAYS try to reply to comments and questions.. in as much as they show up in my inbox!

HOME TO ONE OF THE MOST BORING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE!! At least according to the British newspaper 'The Telegraph'! Please click on the link below:

FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions):

Q: Why don't you airbrush? A: Because I don't have anywhere to airbrsuh properly. Brushpainting is also quicker..

Q: What is 'flash'? A: Flash is excess plastic around some parts caused by the moulds getting worn by age, and leaking plastic.

Q: Aren't you too old to do a childs hobby? A: Plastic Modelling is very much an ADULT hobby, it is educational and you pick up skills useful in other parts of life.. so no, I'm not too old! Plastic modelling is ageless!

Q: What filler do you use? A: Squadron WHITE putty and Vallejo putty mainly

Q: What are your favourite paints: A: Humbrol enamels, and Xtracrylics & LifeColor acrylics

I'm not a professional modeller, nor am I promoting any stuff of my own.. I just build whatever I want to do at the time, to the best of my ability! I don't do anything fancy.. I'm just a basic modeller!

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS.

And to those of you who unsubscribe.. thanks for subbing in the first place! Sorry if I did not live up to expectations.. :)

Modelling is a way for me to stay sane, and I will answer any questions and help out when I can..

THANK YOU!

On this channel you can generally expect to find reviews of models I've built, or have in my stash yet to build.

There's also footage / videos from club events I've been to, and various model shows I have attended.

I also plan to post video clips form Air Shows, Military Re-enactments and similar events.

About Me:
 
I'm a plastic modeller.. i.e I like to build models.. (I'm not made from plastic)

I mainly build aircraft in 1/72 and 1/48 scale, but now and again I like to build something totally different, like an armoured vehicle / tank.. or a ship! From time to time I downscale to 1/144 if I find a kit that appeals to me, but I have never yet built anything in a larger scale than 1/35.

Built my first car in the beginning of 2010, so maybe I can add carmodeller to the list now too??.

If you expect PERFECT MODELS, then this channel is NOT FOR YOU! I build them to a standard that I am happy with, and if you like them, then that is all well and good.. But if you don't, then that is also ok by me!

Positive constructive criticism is always welcome!

I do INBOX REVIEWS by request, as long as I have the kit, or can find one in my local shop. I will not buy a kit just to review it though, it has to be something I'd want to build at some point!

Finally, I DON'T BUILD TO REQUEST.
AND I DON'T AIRBRUSH..

Thank you!

Robert

Ha, ha ha.. I am sure it won't be as and as mine... I'll probably screw up the cockpit with gloopy wrong shade of green paint, loose one of the wings, crack the main cockpit, paint the whole plane with the wrong shades of camo' and it'll end up being crashed in a diorama..... which I'll then drop.

Hey Rob, this is the link to the footage of the Liberty Belle crash: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/worl­d-13764898

I don't mean to sound ghoulish, but I'd love to do a model of the crash. That's twisted, isn't it? You can tell me. I can take it. LOL
