Andrews Art & Scale models

Andrews Art & Scale models

Born and raised in Victoria Australia. I have been scale modelling since I was 6. I am a lover of Science fiction such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly to name my favourites. I also have a keen interest in military history and military vehicles. I would consider myself an amateur artist as well, so I might subject you to my drawings from time to time.

With my you tube channel I aim to show concise and accurate model kit reviews and modelling tips for modellers of all skill levels and interests. I hope to help people get more enjoyment out of the hobby and increase their skill base.

    I built a couple of these way back in the 80's both the normal display stand and the flight display version (ROTJ), they both became victims to thunderbolts and double happy's one guy fawkes night. You could pick one up for like $19.95 nzd each back then compared to over the top scalper prices of around $200- $300 per kit these days. Hopefully Round 2 is in the process of retooling these for future release like they have with the rest of the ERTL/MPC Star Wars model kit range in their 1.32-ish scale. Great kits and easy and fun to build.

    i have had the old 1/2500 scale ships from the 90's .. years ago i got the DS9 set .. and those had the full decals but they were lost before i got to the kit .. few days ago (after watching this vid) i bought the Ent 3 pc set 1701 A and B ... wile the TOS and TMP are much better then the 90's version (they were glue only and you could never get the warp engines right) the Ent B is worse then the fist version of the B C and E 3 pc set (that was glue AND snap) even though all the ships still look the same as they did in first versions (panel lines ect) i did find the motion pic set on ebay and its on its way il see how those are since its yet another version of the TMP ent i do have to say OMG these full decals are a PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 days in and still putting decals on the Ent B and TMP havent even started the TOS version .... i do have to say with these decals Micro Set and or Micro Sol is a MUST!!! these simple models make me hate the 2500 scale cuz of the decals and how hard they are .. a scale i have sworn by since they came out cuz they were easy to display .. vs the hudge 1/1400 Galaxy .. at least i think it was 1400 maybe it was 1/1000 it was like 2-3 foot lone detailed as hell and has the Primary and battle section anyways ... il update you once i check the TMP set

    G'day Andrew. I know you painted this many years ago, but I would like to ask what your experience was like with the Vallejo paints? Currently working on a Tamiya Panther with AK Real Colours (lacquer). However, for the next project I intend using some of my Vallejo colours to see how they hold up. Really enjoyed your build of this beauty! Cheers from Melbourne.

  • @andrewsartscalemodels
    @andrewsartscalemodels Жыл бұрын

    A fellow Melbourneite! Thanks mate, glad you liked it. The Vallejo acrylics preformed beautifully. As a tamiya acrylic fan it was a little out of my comfort zone at first, however I have added many of the Vallejo range to my collection now. They are somewhat thinner than Tamiya I found, that said I still thinned them for use in the airbrush as I usually work at lower PSI range. Being able to drop measure straight from the bottle was also a big help. I find that they are easy to get thinned properly (don't know why), than the Tamiya range as well. I have never airbrushed Lacquer so I am not sure how they compare in that regard. Might see you at the Australian model expo this year. If you enter any models let me know I would love to take a look.

    @@andrewsartscalemodels I will be going this year on the Sunday to the swap and sell, and then head down to the show. I am also on Scalemates as Isti65. Like you, I also spray at low psi-10-15psi, for 99% of my airbrushing. I did have trouble with Vallejo, but since then I watched a video from a bloke called Are We There Yet Modelling who did a really good video on an excellent thinning mixture to use. Beautiful smooth paints.
