Wow, the black paint reference line technique is incredible. Thanks!

somebody said me do not envy or hate better man than you are but learn with them. this is one example of such man, this is truly remarkable job

Spraying the glued surfaces to retain the lines. That's forward thinking. Thanks for sharing that valuable tip

"Quick and simple project" - hell I need an engineering degree just to do the drawings. LOL. Great video, amazing work and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Lol, that's what I said to myself.

Who on earth added thumbs down? This is such a helpful video and an ingenious technique. I print all my stuff in 3d, but this manual work is amazing! I wish I could add 190 thumbs up.

Not sure. Maybe a person who would use a 3d printer instead?

I was wondering what the use of spraying the matching surfaces was for, then it all made sense when he had shaved off a lot of the material, and as if by magic, the centre reference lines were still there. I knew I recognised Paul Budzik's voice and amazing building skills. Awesome video Paul, I think I am going to have to invest in a band saw (my old one died a few years ago and I never replaced it).

I had exactly the same thought. It's pretty genius. I'm definitely borrowing that technique for my toolbox.

Amazing tip indeed!

Great video, thank you. Your vibe is so calm and soothing.

The "centerlines" technique is really helpful. Thank you for sharing!

I don’t do scale modeling but I love this channel

This...was... awesome. Your explanations we're concise and easy. Thanks for the video!

you are one of the 5 best modelers on KZread, realy

Thank you very much, you have helped me refine my approach to building my own model.

Awesome technique, thanks for sharing it.

A great tutorial. I love the black reference line idea!

That was incredibly satisfying to watch come to life. Thanks so much for the informative video. I have recently started learning to build things from scratch and I leaned a lot. Thanks.

Good planning and execution! And great result!

Excellent tutorial and demonstration. Very clear and concise.

always wondered how models are made from scratch. pretty serious stuff!! Gotta be an engineer and a machinist.

As always, another state of the art tutorial!

Simple and amazing job!

Eye-opening. I had no idea (but now I do!) Thanks.

an extraordinary job, as always ...

I didn't even see that this was Paul Budzik. Wow. I just got a lesson from a master. :-)

Genius! Nice work!!

Liked and subscribed. I build models myself. It's nice to see technique and terminoligy clearly defined in a well made video.

Dang that is gorgeous, great job.

Very helpful.👍

Wow... This is amazing!

Very helpful! Thank you.

5:28 Boy that's smooth, nice work

That was really awesome

Brilliant, thanks.

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for some old school expertise to create a model for a few experimental planes that I’d love to make as the only models I can find online are $300+

Fantastic info

Thanks for sharing

Subscribed, Amazing skills!

Amazing.

Thank you, I really enjoy your instructional videos. Do you have a video on making louvered vents, for me making a row of them looks very daunting, not sure where to even begin

its magic 👌👍

Flat sanding block, straight lines and working to edges is also used in automotive body shops to rebuild body panels back to original shape, using body filler .

Great!!!👍😉👍

I enjoy scratch building as well the complex curves and shapes are tuff, I’ll be resorting to wood also.

I want to build a Hawker Typhoon from scratch. I am handy with tools but have never built a scratch model. Any advice on materials for beginners? Though, as I think about the front section of the fuselage of the Typhoon, I wonder if I should start with something else.

true master

Wow, what is the purpose of cutting the block into 4 pieces just to glue it together? Does it affect structural integrity in any way?

I would need alot prayers if i were to try and pull this pff

If this is basic, then what would the advanced look like? Building the whole plane from scratch?

Yes ... building the entire model would be much more involved, but much of the basic shapes are crafted from the same set of reference lines shown here; which is why this video was actually an intro to the Neptune series ... kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKiIl9iSfNnLgbQ.html. Here are some completed scratch built aircraft with some progress images that might give you an idea of some other techniques that would take it to what I consider a more advanced category ...

I notice you don't reply to and probably don't read the comments. Just curious, you said you were going to use a Monogram kit but showed a picture of a Revell model. 2 completely different ends of the 'quality model' manufacturer list. (Revell are awful on my opinion.)

This is basic scratchbuilding? Hang on...where did I leave my bandsaw? :-\

If its sooooo difficult to save 130 bucks for a table top band saw, you can use just about any hand saw for the cuts he made. Coping saws are cheap. You can also grab a piece of wood and look up how to make a sanding block. Actually seen people make them out of mouse traps. Mouse traps are cheap, sand paper is cheap. Get to shaping.

You and Greg's Automobiles and Airplanes need to merge, like rn, for my own sanity and for the sake of world peace!

☹️I don’t even have a garage

Yeah... "basic"
