Plastic Model Builder

Plastic Model Builder

I show you different plastic model builds with great video tutorials on how I build them. Some models are great for beginners to learn from. From assembly, going through the paint scheme and laying out the decals. I go step by step to show you a great model build.

    I build so people can see how the model is assembled. As well, people can see my progress as a modeler. My videos are not for everyone and I'm fine with that. People watch mine for what i can achieve, and not what i can't achieve.

    I did the same thing you did. Just held it together and added a couple coats of glue over those wide seams. It worked out well. Same as you had to do a bit of sanding and filling. Only difference was I was building a 1989 kit that I had gotten off eBay. I really enjoyed this video.

    I was suspicious when I saw the first wing. THEN he said "I don't follow these instructions", I realized why the first wing looked the way it did, and stopped watching. I wanted to learn how to do it right, NOT to learn how to half-ass it for half-assed results.

  • @PlasticModelBuilder
    @PlasticModelBuilderАй бұрын

    The reason the first wing looked not as good was because I followed the instructions. That glue is designed to foil letters that occupy small areas. It isn't designed to occupy model airplanes in large sheets. You can follow the instructions. You'll get the exact results of the first wing.

  • @PlasticModelBuilder
    @PlasticModelBuilder3 ай бұрын

    People often starting out use testors tube glue. However, thin cement is a liquid type in a square jar. It bonds quickly and is less messy than tube glue. You can use spray paint on this model if you choose. Make sure parts are clean for best adhesion. Use masking tape to to spray different colors. If you don't want a color to hit another color, mask it. Don't cut corners. This kit doesn't have to many decals. You should ideally use a gloss coat before decals. It gets less silvering. Join model groups on facebook. Mediocre model builders is a great one.
