Wow, the black paint reference line technique is incredible. Thanks!

Spraying the glued surfaces to retain the lines. That's forward thinking. Thanks for sharing that valuable tip

Who on earth added thumbs down?
This is such a helpful video and an ingenious technique.
I print all my stuff in 3d, but this manual work is amazing! I wish I could add 190 thumbs up.

I don’t do scale modeling but I love this channel

Great video, thank you. Your vibe is so calm and soothing.

"Quick and simple project" - hell I need an engineering degree just to do the drawings. LOL. Great video, amazing work and informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Good planning and execution!
And great result!

I was wondering what the use of spraying the matching surfaces was for, then it all made sense when he had shaved off a lot of the material, and as if by magic, the centre reference lines were still there. I knew I recognised Paul Budzik's voice and amazing building skills. Awesome video Paul, I think I am going to have to invest in a band saw (my old one died a few years ago and I never replaced it).

The "centerlines" technique is really helpful. Thank you for sharing!

[emperortrajan]

[krzysztofmathews]

Excellent tutorial and demonstration. Very clear and concise.

[LeonGarnet]

Awesome technique, thanks for sharing it.

[techristopher]

Thank you very much, you have helped me refine my approach to building my own model.

[OvantheWise]

That was incredibly satisfying to watch come to life. Thanks so much for the informative video. I have recently started learning to build things from scratch and I leaned a lot. Thanks.

[ryanmorris]

A great tutorial. I love the black reference line idea!

[botsbeasts]

Liked and subscribed. I build models myself. It's nice to see technique and terminoligy clearly defined in a well made video.

[alitlweird]

always wondered how models are made from scratch. pretty serious stuff!! Gotta be an engineer and a machinist.

[TheVefIt]

As always, another state of the art tutorial!
