Revell Renault R23 Fernando Alonso 1/24 F1 car

Post by BOABModels »

Hello!

I'm new here although not new to scale models. I've just finished Alonso's Renault R23 and I've put it on YouTube. :shock:

Here is the link to my channel. I am still new to this filming thing but I would love some feedback as the only feedback I get right now is from my microphone!

Hi very nice work, love it :th:
This is a rare kit!

Revell Germany F1 kits are commanding ridiculous prices at the moment on the interwebs
I have been after a few and just cannot believe what people are asking for them.
Would be really smart of Revell to re-pop all the kits as there are a number of really nice ones in a good scale

Welcome to ISM :D

Thanks! I found it on a Spanish antiques website of all places! Haha. I've never seen it on ebay.

I try to snatch them when I see them at a decent price but they do go for a lot. I guess it's because they are the only sets for some of those cars.

Thanks for the welcome!

Car looks great!! Excellent job, man! :clap: :clap: :thumb2:

Only thing I'll say about your video is that your camera shook almost the entire time and it was extremely hard to hear you. Had to turn the volume way up.
Good job though on the build. Maybe some build videos would be nice - I'm always more interested in seeing the process, even though I like the outcome. The processes people do on their builds is more interesting. To me anyway.

Off to a great start though, and thanks for sharing. :thumb2:

Thanks for watching and for your feedback! I think it's a mix of cheap camera mount and me being a bit self conscious of recording myself!

There are build videos of the Renault on there too. I learn so much from watching others build so I wanted to do one myself.

Thanks!

Very nice! I've watched a few of your videos. I wouldn't be able to film myself just from the self conscious aspect if nothing else.

Thanks! Great to hear that people are watching.

I try to find alternative ways to do things so the carbon fibre idea I was quite happy with.

I'm starting an XJ220 video soon!
