For fun barrels, another thing that can be used, depending on your scale, are blunted hypodermic needles. These can easily be cut or just bent and cleanly snapped to give you a flush barrel end, and the slightly pointed end also helps, when heated a bit, in secure installation

Great tips. Never considered figures but now I'm sold. Another money drain 😁

Brake lines are also a great way to invisibly run electricity into a model for lighting or motorizing. You have to run the wire down through the wheel throgh the patch touching the ground and throgh the base. The latter can contain the battery and switch underneath.

This is a great video with loads of interesting tips. But, why the rubbish canned music? Not needed and distracting.

hi there, just stumbled upon your vid, which I truly enjoyed 🙂👏I'd like to share a few bits about seat belts. I am used to keep the thin metal which often comes with some medicine casing, like creams or ointments tubes. Quite often it is very thin, thus can be cut and bent easily, and serves well to the scope. Alternatively, I use some aluminium foil, bent in thin stripes and sandwiched between masking tape, to give that little extra of hardness and solidity. Cheers! 🙂

Hi, for landing gear I use elastic straps, the ones with hooks for packages when loading car. I cut them. The core is made of small round rubber fibers that are perfect to bend, fit and mostly don, t require painting. Just take care that sone new cheap straps are made with square rubber fibers, unfortunately…😢

Thank you. As a beginner, I find the video instructive and very clear (great to see you working step by step while you're commenting). I learned a lot that I'll slowly try to apply to my humble 1/72 models while keeping in mind that the smaller the scale the less the details will be visible, so simplifying them will help too if I understood you well?
Thx, once again.

Hey Brett, this is some great info. Thanks for putting it all together. You simplified the engine wiring. I've never seen it so clear before. Thank You!!! You have a good point about adding the figure. I'm getting into simple bases now. Fantastic video, well worth watching (twice). Thanks for sharing your hobby skills
