James May Toy Stories Episode 1 Part 1

[MilitaryAircraft101]

I knew it was a Hawker Hunter

[Ivkilik149vI]

Isnt that Guy in top gear?

[MrPointless]

@Ivkilik149vI His name is in the title of the video - why not simply google James May if you were in doubt? But to answer the question - yes. Yes he is in deed.

[vulcanraven777]

@Ivkilik149vI yeah it is

[jocax188723]

"But since the mid-80's, sales of plastic its have plummeted."

Only on your side of the world, James. Ever heard of Gunpla?

[MrSUBARUJ]

im thirteen and i have 41 models !

[irecordpornos]

stick the fucking car up my asshole and have him pull that shit out with his bare hands

[irecordpornos]

id stick the toy car up my butt and have him pull it out

[ThePoooooooooo123]

the spitfire was made during WW2 in 1931 i think not 1975 and im 10 you divs

[MegaDarkCow]

what is the theme song?

[legoreveiwer360]

i made the spitfire kit that hes going to make

[abatheswedishdude02]

Im soon 13 i build plastic models often! I fly simulator games and be with friend but modelling is really really FUN!

[whointhetardis]

im 13 and im in the RAF cadets and i love building AIRFIX and revendell models.

they really interest me. I am slowly moving towards the more complicated models.

Stupid game consoles. Why dont kids these days get the joy of just making a model airoplane.

[hashrulsubzero]

@whointhetardis Because of those fucking games...and they born like later than us..

[mmuseb]

what is this? does he have his own side show?

[KolLaRn1280]

was he driving hammonds porsche?

[TheClaudHamilton]

@KolLaRn1280 Well, it could be his own. They're both fans of the Porsche 911, after all.

[LukeLamping]

@KolLaRn1280 its his own,check his "on the way to studio" videos (dont know what theyre exactly called),he drives it there

[fullymental307]

@KolLaRn1280 He has his own porsche.



[aznhkmafia]

@KolLaRn1280

no..james has his own 1984 red 911

[ehuman]

Hnnnnnngh, I can't afford any of these hobbies. I used to play a lot of lego when I was a kid. Now I live in a small apartment where the most fun I can make without any clutter is playing a simulation of a builder such as The Sims or Terraria. If I ever get my hands on AutoCAD, I'll probably get stuck airfixing on my computer. Maybe once I escape from LA...

[xmodmodifier]

2 months ago after wathcing this show, i got my first revell kit. now i finished 7 ww1&2 planes and a b17 all in 72nd, all-in-all it cost me about a newly release video game. may is a huge inspiration...

[MarloFlynn]

I remember doing airfixes with my dad. *sad nostalgic smile*

[youdontknowxpand]

I'm 18 and I make model planes too! They're not airfix but some other trademark. I then use them to make 3D models for games such as Flight Simulator X. It's an awesome hobby and I pitty those who would rather be stuck in their PS3 playing CoD or battlefield....

[samosammo123]

@youdontknowxpand

much agreed, we have something in common

[hashrulsubzero]

@youdontknowxpand I use to do one of those 3D models for GTA San Andreas. I use to make paintjobs, editing car mods, even make new parts :) .

[Randomozo]

@youdontknowxpand PITTY THA FOOL! <3 Good words there man.

[TheClaudHamilton]

@youdontknowxpand So do I, being a keen modeller myself. Doubtless we can include Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond in that list though - both seem to have disliked this video.

[MilitaryAircraft101]

@youdontknowxpand Me too

[TheJoshg90]

I will always have fond memories my myself playing with legos for hours at a time... Hats off to yea James

[Zactimus]

thumbs up if you've seen the model in RAF Cosford.

[99productions66]

3:00 *bins all moddels* tumbs up!!

[AlejjSi]

Wish I am 13 and that I live in Britain :)

I would like to be in James project, because noone at home ever supported me in this.

But I always loved to build my trucks and road cars and play with them as I had my first computer when I was about 14. Nowdays the computer-childs are useless in anything other, olny a few of them I see outside on the streets riding on bikes

[madaboutrains]

Good

[cubeproduktion]

Instead of computers and video games, I grew up with lego, and now, I have never stopped playing with lego for 1 day

[terminator363]

His Porsche is awesome.

[terminator363]

I used to build these and I loved it.

[Aamin123456789]

I use to have a phase when I was 3 or 4 where I would take all me dads toys and play with em, then from when i was 5 till i was 8 i played computer games. now im 14 and im making stuff out of wood and metal...

[chubbsmcgee2413]

i love computer games and i love airfix so you know NERDS!!!!!!!!

[mrcheuk40]

Jeremy Clarkson have a fighter jet at his backyard:D

[mildlydecentfilms]

@mrcheuk40

i think it was a MIG-21.

his wife went ballistic when she found it! LOL

[dragonfable66]

I actually enjoy Model fixing (Gundams) And toys in general compared to PC Games. And I'm already "too mature" for em. so some of my friends say...

[Busenfalter]

this accent is just brilliant

[buwaneka66]

wish this was a longer series 

[RioDeVick]

when I get a kid, i am going to take him to GB and ask James to spend couple of hours with him

[djbanizza]

In all honesty I think this is a hobby for adults. Even if these teens like it, chances are they will soon abandon it for another hobby (it's very time consuming). At least, having been introduced, they might get back to it later in life ...

[biolabranden]

Anyone know how to make one of these in minecraft?

[JoshHperl]

Blue Tits.

[Giselle76502]

My parents got me a Spitfire MKVc in 2008 or 09, they thought I'd like it, but instead, I'm now a Model addict

[xxkil]

i,m 46 and still love toys

[Leonis1989]

When I was a teenager I used to build models and James is right, the shop was always brimmed with men who were 30 and up. In 5 years I never saw one person below the age of 20. I've still got a model in the attic waiting to be made.

[Vat19fan]

2:16 is racist.

[TheStraatjutter]

@TheStraatjutter oh no! im sane d:

[niebells]

i love him and his creative, geeky mind!

[SEME24]

Im build models 38 years in  no stop newer

[cb7pwn]

James May is a cool guy

[Fitzy597]

Look how i turned out. -PAUSE- Somewhere Jeremey Clarkson is laughing his head off...

[czr88]

no!! i'm probably half his age and i love airfix!!!!

[DeathMagneticX3]

:D 4:04 you can see the RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat model :D Thats the best one I've done, it turned out very well once it was finished :)

[303Legodude]

Is the boy at 4:51 playing cod waw zombies

[stbridget5]

@303Legodude cof fanboy

[Be0utsider]

What's the guitar opening song? Not "Use Somebody", this is better

[nathanielmccarty]

Im 18 and i love making plastic models of classic cars and even gundams.

[v3showah]

i am the boy that is sitting playing xbox. Geeez.

[awesomenoob6281]

AWW PBSHH! im turning 13 soon and i love making plastic models, espacily revell 1/48 aircraft

[ScottMills1988]

Where would I buy Airfix nowadays? Any chain retailers that sell them, or do I just need to search independent toy shops? This programme has really inspired me to have a go, as I never made any as a child.

[Krappattak]

@ScottMills1988 Airfix and other model brands are still widely available mate, large hobby shops and some chain stores have them and there are a lot more on the market than there was 20 years ago.

[MacGyver920]

James May is like SOOOOO FUCKING AWSOME!!!!

[contactgbob]

I make airfix and im 14 I love it theres nothing better than finishing a model and felling proud of it and finding a nice place to put it in my room airfix rule

[PhilipDK5800]

1 guy couldn't assembly his 1:72 Spitfire

[thisisbadstuff]

I'm 17 and I do stick and fabric airplane modeling, which is a lot more sophisticated than plastic airplane modeling. I also play a fair bit of computer games. I do sometimes feel I'm too young for me hobby sometimes though...

[JLCL01]

@thisisbadstuff

Too young to make model kits or hobbies overall?

[tregino]

Oiii . BEN COLLINS NO. You do not dislike this video.

That is a bad ex-stiggy

[234jari234]

videogmes are fun but playin with toys brings back warm, cosy and joy feelings from my youth

[Mr908j]

so you think video games are more exiting ..NO WAY I PLAY XBOX360 AND PS3 BUT TOYS ARE BETTER.

[PlanesCoinsandMusic9]

Give me food, drink and supplies and I could spend months inside that spare parts room.

[EJRocky]

Airfix's spare parts service is brilliant. I was building a quite large-scale Lancaster bomber, and appeared to be missing the left-hand horizontal stabilizer. I sent an email off to Airfix HQ and got exactly the part I needed in the mail just a few days later.

[DyeTyme]

Thank you James May

[duckhive]

thumbs up if you are 30 and still play with toys

[DeathMagneticX3]

I'm 16 and I absolutely adore Airfix. I play guitar and drums so most of my money goes into them, but if I ever have spare money and an Airfix model catches my eye in Hobbycraft I'll buy it =D I've forgotten what my first airfix kit was. It was a boat and the name Vosper comes to mind....anyone know what I'm thinking of? xD Cause I don't! =P

[code6tony]

@DeathMagneticX3 The Vosper MTB (motor torpedo boat)...an absolute favourite!

[DeathMagneticX3]

@code6tony :D I know! It was great, thanks for the memory-jog. I remembering making it with my dad =P Good times xD

[shawnhbkdx90]

a school in yorkshire? COME TO MINE!!!

[PhilipDK5800]

Since I saw the show, I've built an Airfix IL2 Sturmovik and A Spitfire.

now, my JU78 Stuka will arrive tomorrow :D

[MrAwesomeDewde2411]

I bought an airfix spitfire mkIXc yesterday!!!

[giotheutuber]

@MrAwesomeDewde2411 I got a panther tank on the exact same day!!!!

[samosammo123]

im quite young and i still would rather build and paint airfix than playing on a computer game.

thumbs up if airfix is still your hobby!

[REI02021809]

Earlier this week as a 1 off, I made an Airfix comeback when I made a 1/72 Spitfire of N3277 as I've got a rc model of that very Spit. And I fancied making an Airfix model of it.

[valmue1]

He should have through og Warhammer

[lemonite1]

I might hear it but,..... this guy shoulda gone to Japan to get the kids/people involved. Seriously, I am convinced the Japanese are the best model makers.

[giotheutuber]

@lemonite1 Just a bit stereotypical dont you think?

[68thelzeppelin]

James: Why are you always sooo right??

[TomHancher]

im 16 and i love airfix, im proud to say that :)

[nutster9000]

From the comments on here, I'm gladly starting to wonder that it's a myth that kids would only rather get hooked on computer games than actually make something like a model kit. My L.M.S. is normally crammed with kids on a saturday lunch time (quite a small shop), and I guess that's partly down to this programme!!!!

[guns21111]

who could poosibly "dislike" this video

[SuperIronman17]

im a modern teen with modern conformities eg video games but i still take time to put together my latest kit. hobby for old men im 16 and love it

[wtficantgetausername]

fuck i loved those kits all the way since i was 4 im 17 i still desire them i dont get these ignorant kids nowadays

[topgearfan188]

I can't believe those kids were like that to James. I'm thirteen and I love airfix. James, come to my school, you'll get a much more welcoming response, and I want to meet you!

[Xigano1]

"And the crowd went wild"

"Yeeeaaah"

:)

[Iwant2rally]

This is so true. Everything james is saying about model and building things! my boyfriend is from that era and he loves models and tinkering. Now I understand why lol

[MaxxBraxx]

is the red porsche james drives, the one that belonged to Hammond,...maybe James bought it or even borrowed it ... ?

[JayJJ69]

@MaxxBraxx Richard's was/ is left hand drive, James's is right. Ohh I must get my life sorted out. :)

[BigAndTall666]

This is a good excuse to mention "IPMS, UK" (International Plastic Modelers Society, UK) those that might feel inspired by these videos should check them out. :-)

[BigAndTall666]

Tamiya is way better! :-P

[jamesvozar1]

@BigAndTall666 fully

[eduern]

James May what a guy

[groovybabyrachy12]

[jeebateeba56]

The theme tune to this show is so awesome!

[Giselle76502]

HORNBY AND AIRFIX RULE O.K

[Fuzzzboots]

I wonder if the toys taught him his most famous words "oh cock"

[bunnybrain]

i grew up with those, too...and i'm only 27. boy do i feel old now that i've seen this x(

still love the show though and glad james brought all those memories back =)

[anaheim90]

Oh, crap, the all awesome Scorpion tank -_- The tracks. Oh the tracks >:|

[nightsage217]

IS the James May's model on sale? I want it along with the blue-red sort of plastic packeage.......

[COma4c]

[terrencemcg]

@COma4c yep my nephew loves model cars, those cars that you build yourself and comes with the dynamo from japan... its not airfix but hey theyre still models...

[fluffyhales]

The School He Went To is Near Where I Live Omg

[Popovicist]

I feel a need to find and complete that bluetits model now.

[RavenHouseProduction]

[Aamin123456789]

[CastJosephine]

I really want to start building models now..

[matanuialive2010]

[samosammo123]

IM 11 AND I HAVE 12 WORLD WAR 2 AND 1 MODELS, SUPERB VID THANKS!

[2009Buzza]

Darn Computers! Im 14 and I have a unfinished model railway, and I have a plane from airfix unfinished because it broke but Im trying to do it, ( I got it like 3 years ago XD)

[rspoke]

im 14 and i fucking love model making

[biseng]

look 04:42!! Its Angus Young!!!

[F1guy1]

" The 13 year olds went mad with excitement" *grasshoper chirp* XD

[wagbo121]

this got me into airfix!

[Wellsy411]

16 and I build Airfix. What of it?

[jxvwp]

That's a bit unfair.

I'm 18 and I think scaled models are cool. While I don't build airfix (I'm more of a Revell guy) I have made a couple of 1:72 aircraft.

[guilhugas]

thumbs up if you are 17 and you want to play with toys again

[csilovergirl1]

@guilhugas i wanna build the empire state building outta lego and then put scalextric through it

[55peedy]

@guilhugas I'm 24 and this video makes me very happy xD well... never to old to play with toy's!!! I still do LEGO!!!! Building robot's xD and fly my rc helicopters!!!! But women don't understand...women grow up and getting old...and men never grow up :p

[guilhugas]

@guilhugas oh no! i was a thumb whore back then D:

[TheStraatjutter]

@guilhugas why are you reminding yousellf

[LordNelson87]

how many pedos watch this?

[SierraHawkProduction]

nope.... videos games are still more fun... haha

[dblancer]

James May, you rock sir!! :) The BBC does amazingly interesting television

[TheSI3DRemakist]

Model Railway is and always will be the classic toy

[telemundo]

just went and bought a WRX STi airfix due to this!

got glue all over the place..

[mrstick73]

the grinch must have a youtube account and disliked this video.

[jnm2008]

who is the fool who disliked this video?

[TheMikulover666]

@jnm2008 some say that he his skin color is green, and that he hates christmas...all we know is that he's called The Grinch!!!! (sorry-Top Gear reference!!)

[Murdock129]

I personally have a large set of world war 1 Airfix soldiers, a half-trak and several tanks

[gtconnolly]

Now don't bash the Blue Tits. My younger sister worked on this kit, though how much my brother and I ended up doing is a mystery. They still sit in my parents' china cabinet 30 years later! I have built the Catalina and Beaufighter this year. For all the great childhood memories of building dozens of Airfix kits, I'd forgotten that the fit could be poor, notably the canopies. A tip for the Catalina; instead of following the instructions, assemble the entire wing below attaching to the fuselage.

[badpostie]

4:54 - boy or girl?

[codemannz]

@badpostie no idea!

[saveusmilkboy]

god it's weird seeing james driving a car and NOT talking about it...

i was thrown!

[Giselle76502]

I knew that was a Hunter, even though i havent made the kit. But I have my own personal airforce, half of it is made up of Spitfires. I want airfix to make a new Blenhem kit.

[Cizza225]

whats the song at the start of the opening called im dieing to look for it :'(

[logantheace]

"No he was not mental"

[logantheace]

James May needs to have a Game SHOW!

[firebat42]

Model building is frustraing to a maximum level. Things don't stick, or paint work gets shoddy with me >:(

[didu52]

lol, These kids are so Ungrateful. If James May came to my school one day, I'd be like Jizzing in my pants. XDD

[Giselle76502]

@didu52 You're not alone. I'm working on a JU 88A-4 from airfix, there is also the mistel kit thats takeing a heck of a long time to work on and i Brought the Sea Harrer FRS1 today. I got a friend of mine stuck into airfix, and he just can't stop, nether can I.

[ChauTranMan]

it was funny when he said look at how well i turned out

[MegaMrDamo]

i like computer games as much as old toys, love em all

[JPnintendofan]

I'm an American 14 year old and I love making Airfix kits and watching this show. We Americans get a bad rap in Britain (and the rest of the world) but I want them to know that some are not uneducated, fat, lazy, video game addicts with no knowledge of the outside world. Cheers!

[seedot555]

@JPnintendofan lol i'am england and most the population are retards. theres only a small group of people who are a little smart!

[Giselle76502]

@JPnintendofan Keep on building yank, I'm working on the new airfix Hawker Hurricane MKIA. My first kit was a spitfire MKVc, I might get the PE-2 next.

[inouenaoto1]

Oh, does he has the Porsche 934 turbo? I can guess Jeremy say horrible about it

[fifakiri]

im 13 this is actually interesting and wat is that fatass doing on the xbox playing call of duty or sommit im sorry but not all 13 year olds are like this

[chaosprovido]

theres nothing shame when u really like ur hobbies

[PublicSting]

I used to make models like that, but they always broke because we threw the airplanes out of the window to see if they would fly ( wich they didn't do to good)

[ojyhofoy]

bluetits.

@ojyhofoy; James May seems to love saying BlueTits on TV because he often refers to them on Top Gear. I would say it all the time too though. I think its funny as hell that they names a bird BlueTits. HAHA
