I feel your pain, Papa, nobody should have to put up with that $#!%...but I'm glad to see you have your solution :) I just got back from a week of camping up in Tobermory Ontario, and was looking forward to pushing you to do another vid, but you beat me to it...Good on ya brother. Great video and looking forward to more!

@JamesL1976 I've been up there, as you may know, I am a Canuck! Born in Montreal, oddly enough, so was Shatner. Thanks Dude, I had loads of fun making this "oddball" one, maybe not for the kiddies, but still good fun!

Now, we go forth, I'm making great progress in the studio this week, should show painted upper Saucer section by the end of this week, or early next.

Great comment as usual Dude! :)

I was wondering what the deal was with those older masks... good news is you found a solution. I've been using dry transfers on my armor collection for years and they are superior to decals. In your capable hands, using dry transfers will only add to your work.

[mercs32118]

@pmwalt22 Yep, those kit issues were pretty stinky. I was aware of dry transfers, but not the capability of making them yourself. Having them made in a specialty shop is very expensive. I'm still learning with this new equipment, but in a while, it will become standard on my kits. Indeed, they are superb, and light years more accurate than decals, look like applied paint! Thanks for your usual great comment!

As always, i learn so much from your videos and appreciate the effort you put in for both the professional quality of the build and for the informative video. I'm steps away myself from launching my bulding project. Has taken me awhile to research and determine scale. It's for me so it's not a paying project. But you never where it will lead me. Thanks for the inspiration.

@stoneman127 Jeez Dude, "inspiration" is one of the finest words in any language, right up there with "compassion", the finest of all qualities in a human being, I am honored by this comment, many thanks.

@mercs32118 Cool, have to see if I can find one in the UK! lol

Thanks mate, that really means alot, appreciate it

@shepharda74 It's a 6mm BB auto-fire, very accurate copy of a G5, widely used by SWAT teams. Fun for ripping the shreds out of cans, scaring the neighbors, and making silly films! Nice Warhammer modeling work on your channel Mate. :)
