Thank you so much Paul,

I've learnt much, but there maybe one or two question's on the horizon, now that I'm going to build my own ME 109!!!

Many Thanks...

It's been a great series for all levels of modeller..
Well done Paul and keep up the brilliant work (and you as well Lee...)!!!!

Hello, just signed up to than you and ask a question! So here goes.

Thank you so much for your tutorial videos in this series, they have helped so much as I'm just getting back into model making after not doing any kit models for a good 10 to 15 years and then these last to years I've made a couple of scratch build dioramas (one for an Action Man and a lot smaller scale cottage). Anyway, I'm waffling. On to the question.

In your last video you clear matt coated the plane at the end, and I can't quite catch what the name of the product you used was, can you point me in the right direction, I've tried googleing what I think you said but it comes back with no returns!

Thanx again. Great videos and a lovely looking site you have got here.

Cheers.

Hi I wanted to thank you Paul I am upto number eight on these videos and having return about twelve months ago they have been massively helpful/inspiring . It's the first time I've found a really good use for my Apple TV. You ask for ideas for other topics I wonder if it's possible to do one on weathering/painting with a brush as it seems I'm unlikely to get an airbrush due to the fact I in the corner of the lounge modelling. Particually I'm looking for ways to add exhaust stains. Any way the point is thanks paul fantastic vids

I love watching these videoes. I can watch them over and over. They are very informative and helpful for people who haven't been in the hobby for long or are just coming back to the hobby like me. But also for people who has been in the hobby for years too. Well Done Paul. Excellent work. I hope you do some more.

Hi Paul

I'm just getting in to modelling and I'm going to try and follow this build to learn the techniques. Do you have a list of the glues / fillers / paints you used just incase I missed any of them.

I'm a brand new member here and just returning to the hobby, but I just gotta say, "Paul, those were a smashing set of tutorial videos you did!"
I just got done watching them and I am truly inspired to take up the art again.
Thanks again Paul!

Post by **Puj** » Wed Dec 10, 2014 7:22 pm

Thanks Paul

Just watched all the videos... having just finished that particular model myself a few weeks before joining this forum.

Very instructive and excellently presented throughout the series. Fortunately - I have 2 more 109s' on my 'to do' list, and I will certainly be using some of the tips shown in the clips.

My EZ Line turned up today... so aerial rigging won't be so much of a pain any more (hopefully)

Post by **Jmc** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 2:00 pm

Just wanted to say thanks for a great series of videos, as a returning modeller i found them very usefull. Found them on you tube and as a result ended up regestering here, and of course buying the 109 kit.

Thanks again. Much appreciated

Jay

Thanks jay, glad the videos proved useful for you, I'm planning on starting an armour techniques guide video over the next week or so so keep an eye out if that interests you

Sounds great Paul, I will look forward to it.

Post by **countzero99uk** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 3:42 pm

Called into my local hobby shop the other day just before they closed and i saw this kit on the shelf, put it down as fate

so i picked it up, just looking through the kit now to work out what paints i need to pick up. Is it still ok to ask questions about your build on this or is it a bit too long since you did it?

You can try mate, most of the answers might be int he videos too

Post by **countzero99uk** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 4:07 pm

Aye

you never know. Just in the midst of working out what paints i need to pick up, converting from humbrol to Vallejo, seems straight forward enough

<sneaks in a post while Paul's eye is on the thread>

Thank-you Paul for your videos as for someone who has come back to the craft after many years away, I have found them very informative, and like others they were a major contributor in myself joining this forum. During your paint/primer recommendations you recommended Vellejo primer as your primer of choice. Also during the 14 part series it is still your primer of choice, though I do see a comment line from 10 months ago in Part 7 of 14 Modeling where you says you now use the AK primer in lieu. I do notice my reading around that Vellejo Primer is either loved or hated by uses, and the same seems to go for the AK Primer. There seems to be a lot of love around for enamel primers, but from what I read the Acrylic primers are very hit and miss.

Was the reason for the change to AK more due to the long cure time of the Vellejo product, or was there another reason? Do you still use the AK product?

Badger Stynelrez is the way to go these days...
