How to Properly Sharpen X-Acto Hobby Knife Blades
The window glass seemed thick.
So what grits did you use with that stone?
I just used water on the stone; no additional grits.
nice tips maybe something i can use if i get more serious in this stuf i just build a Tamiya Electric Dril kit was a lot of fun never realy worked with this stuf before but i needed a small dril for something im hobbying on. but maybe the bug bite me. I am thinking about eventully mixing my own hobby with a RC drift car and make my own bodys from scratch but every step is 1 and this dril is 1 =) how ever there a lot of model kits out there and you just showed me a trick to make a custom cool work.
the best tutorial ever and that car is beautiful
I would like to this for a 1982 trans am model,but I'll be working on clear plastic,any suggestions on best way to make it look as real as possible to a real trans am.
I have found clear plastic to be brittle. Go slow and with care.
Back in the day they used push wire in old electric guitars. It had a cloth covering that you could just push back to expose the wire to solder to the pots and jacks. The problem is the gauge might be too thick for the scale model you might be building. It would be a perfect solution. Now i wonder if comes in different thickneses
Interesting thought! Would need some research.
So inspiring, love it
A very useful video for every photographer. It contains solid and detailed information. It is one of the most beautiful videos on UA-cam. What is the camera setup that you used for this video,Thank you very much.
Thanks, glad you liked it! The videographer used a basic DSLR, Fuji, sometimes on a tripod, sometimes hand-held.
I like how seriously you guys take this hobby too. I just built my first model, I'm 74 years old and should have started with an easier project. It looks okay on a high-shelf 🤫
Welcome to the Hobby! Have fun!!
Wow!!! Absolutlety amazing craftsmanship!
Thanks for the tutorial! How we can make it with metal diecast models?
In my experience it's pretty much the same except it more difficult to glue and more difficult to cut through!
Beautiful Truck!!!! Thanks for sharing
Awesome truck
Thanks for feed back. glad you liked it.
There’s nothing like hearing from someone who owns the 1:1 vehicle exactly which kit parts are the most accurate. I’d love to see more detail on how that hood hinge mechanism operates.
Take a look at the design of a real 56 ford pickup hinge. On the model, the top rod of the hinge is attached to the hood and pivots at the side of the fire wall just like the 1:1 hinge would . The lower rod on the model attaches to the hood like it would on the 1:1 truck. This rod is made about twice as long (in scale) as the bottom rod of the real hinge. On the side of the fire wall below where the top rod is attached is a pin that is sticking out about 1 mm. The long lower rod has a notch in it that falls on to the pin when the hood opens. To shut the hood the model is turned over and the lower rod falls away from the pin and as the hood closes the back half of the lower rod goes into a slot beside the fender at the cowl. the lower rod slides between the outside of the pickup cab and the kick panel in the interior. the hinge rods were made out of aluminum sheet. There you have it.
Impressive work and nice interview
Thanks for your comments. Doug did a great job of editing the interview.
Thanks, except it's actually my wife, Giovanna, who is does all the editing. She is a story-teller.
Thank you for taking the time to show this technique!
Beautifully done
Thank you. And thanks for commenting
Super Sweet Styrene '56 Goodness!
Thank you.
Well Don, Ron! And Doug - another one right out of the park, sir!
Glad you liked it. I am honored to be included in Doug's channel.
Enjoyed!!!! 🤜🤛
Thanks. I watch all your contest coverage videos. Nice work. You and I met at the IPMS Nationals in Omaha a couple years ago.
Awesome pickup Doug. I saw that he had a Nebraska plate on it. Does he live in Nebraska? Ron
I live in Omaha
Awesome, I live in Broken Bow if you know where that is.
Hey, I have a good question. Would you have any ideas on where would most states would have an appraisal for small scale Models cars only? Because of that, I have a few very older models of cars that my Dad's fathers did some small-scale models cars from the early years of the 20s or so. I would wonder if possible that you have an email address for people like me able to send you pictures of their models' cars. If so, where us people would be able to find it. On your UA-cam video clip.?
Perhaps try some antique dealers in your area.
Wow. Impressive. Nice work.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feed back.
Amazing ❤
Thank you. Glad you like it.
Killer Ford F100.
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Another great video from GSL. You must've been a busy man with all these GSL interviews. I have lost count but hope to see more. Thanks Doug.
Wow! Lot of great ideas using a bunch of other 50s Ford pick up parts and body components to make one EPIC 56 F 100 truck!!!! Fantastic!!!
Thanks. the good thing about the AMT 53 Ford pickup is that it has been around a long time so there are a lot of cheap glue bombs available to harvest the fenders, inner fenders, hood, frame and tail gate from.
Wonderful work!
Very detailed ford !! love it !!
That is an awesome build! Great details. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic work all around. Looking forward to the next videos.
Great Idea for the window molding.
Thanks. The wire I used was aluminum bead wire from hobby lobby.
@@charlenebutterfield5280 Great looking build!
A video of the other pickup Ron displayed at GSL will be in an upcoming video! Thank you, Ron, for sharing your replica with us. Thank you to our Tier 5 Patron, Mark S. Gustavson, Esq.
Hi Doug. Thank you so much for including me on your channel. I am truly honored. You did a fabulous job editing our conversation and I look forward to seeing the 48 Ranchero video
What a great video, was wondering do you cut the metal once it's in the ring or did you leave it long and fill the front under the hood?
Thanks! I always cut the “handle” off so I can make room for the engine and radiator. I have not gone farther on this model yet, but when I do the grille will look like the finished grille I popped out of the Dodge in the video.
Absolutely incredible work Doug! Phenomenal job 💯🔥🙌🏾
Beautiful build!! Can I ask what kit does the original wheels you were looking to use are in?”the Buick’s”
Thanks! The wire wheels were in the AMT Buick Riviera kit.
I never thought of using a 6x7 film carrier to hold plastic for vacuum forming.
You have an eagle eye and some good old-time knowledge!
Super
12:13 describes me perfectly. i'm just getting back into the hobby after being away from it for 25 years (builder as a teenager but then life got in the way.) i don't know enough to understand what i'm seeing, all i know is it doesn't look like a model. it looks like a shrunken real car. i know enough to understand there's a difference. this looks amazing.
That was awesome Doug!!!!!
Wishing all the best to Steve!
The midget is looking great!! Great idea for the BMF! Once you get the engine wired, people will not notice the slightly off-centered plug holes! I like your idea about the bolts around the seat....should look good! I follow Doug Whyte's 'Model Car Muse' YT channel. He just posted a video about how to make grills....it's a pretty cool process!
Yeah!!! This is just what i need!! Great how to video! I have a build that has got stuck cause i didnt know how i should do the grill! Now i know! Thank you so much for this!
Excellent job and lots of patience
Awesome video !
I have a hobby room, Doug you have a hobby center.
What a great way to make grilles WAUW, thanks for teaching us how to do this 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m throwing all my models out.
Very nice technique. Thanks for sharing.
Go with the canoe. You'll need a rack made of a pair of oak boards 1.5x2.5 inches, mounted about 3 inches above the roof. Soon I'll be trecking my 17 foot cedar strip canoe on top of my '27 Model A woody. It's a wow, trust me!
"17 foot cedar strip canoe on top of my '27 Model A woody" I can just picture it, really cool!
