"The Inner Nerd" - Typically connotes an expert, enthusiast or a person obsessed with a hobby.

Instructional Scale Modelling videos... by a nerd

Scale model Aircraft and Military vehicles in 1/72, 1/48 & 1/35 scale

The story of how I got into modelling is pretty simple. I made them as child but didn't make such a good job of them. There was glue on the canopies, brush marks all over the place and paint that could only be taken off with a chisel - they never seemed to look they do on the box... After a few year's break I decided to pick it up and try again. Learning new skills from forums and other videos like mine and generally messing about until I got to where I am now. I am still learning and I pick models based on learning something new each time, so you are following my modelling journey as much as I.

    Excellent video! Sometimes when I airbrush I have to pull the lever back a pretty significant amount to get my paint to start spraying out. Once it starts spraying I can bring the nozzle forward to get the fine spray pattern I want, but if I release the lever completely, I have to pull it a ways back again. It makes it difficult cause ill be pointing the brush at a paper towel waiting, and then a lot of paint suddenly starts flowing out. This is accompanied by occasional sputtering as well. Any idea why this may be?

  • @TheInnerNerd
    @TheInnerNerd6 күн бұрын

    Hello and thanks for watching. I sand the clear coat varnish to make the surface smooth and also prepare it for the weathering. Oil washes stick better to a satin surface as I mention in the video, so this sanding both improves the finish and prepares for the next step

  • @TheInnerNerd

    Unfortunately not. They're way too thin to be brushed in any controllable manor, however I've never actually tried. I'd go for another brand which isn't pre-thinned if you're going to be using a brush. Thanks for watching :)

    the very first seconds of the video reminded me the situation when I threw out my Su-32FN model right out of my window from 5-th floor of my condo 20 years ago... but in my case - i wasn't happy with the way how I filed down the place around the canopy, so the canopy itself was not more adjusting to that place... anyway, I kind of felt the moral relief at that moment)))
