I used to do a list of kits I wanted to build in the coming year but now I pick a kit on what inspires me at that time, it might be a photo or something that another modeller is doing.

hello dear Clayton,i work on my Panther d Tamiya and in the same time i begin a Tiger Tamiya!cheers Patrick

It depends for me. I can build a kit, paint it, weather it, build a diorama and finish it without touching another kit. However, recently I realised that I have multiple kits not finished, and just pick up whatever I want to do. I feel like that is the thing with modelling. Don’t feel forced to do something if you don’t feel any enjoyment. If an idea come to your mind, you can always pick it up and finish it, just like you did.

I Don't Even Bother Anymore Cause it NEVER FRICKIN WORKS

Hey, a lovely little diorama. One thing is bothering me though, is how are the signboards be attached to the concrete post as obviously nails wouldn't do it, the look as if they're just stuck there. I know I'm being picky but it bothers me, I'm sad like that

Thought that Atom paint ot need to thin. Thats the thing about them? Saw many videos without thinning

Built this model 30 yrs ago and it is still here I'm looking at it in my vast collection.

You had quite the journey with this one. Glad to see that in the end you ended up with a nice little diorama. It looks great and is something unique. Now build a real model, like the Takom Tiger tank, Andy's big Sherman or Mini-Art's Puma armored car. Yeah. I'm kidding!! I'm glad you picked an odd ball. I love a good, what's that project. Keep having fun!!

Distracted always by the latest Miniart releases, then back to the Dragon boxes of doom, working hard to finish those, many of which were started 10~15 years ago, then end up in the weathering circle of paralysis to be distracted again by the latest releases. Very nice finish on the Weasel, the figgie and those road signs👍

Very nice work on the interior build. Looks excellent!

Flip flop like a fish out of water. At least for my personal projects. Commissions, gifts or requests from friends family seem easier to track from beginning to end.

Nicely done Clayton. Love seeing your work come together. I go back and forth between armor and aircraft but I only work on one project at a time.

Lovely work, but I can't believe there's a sign in the Ardennes for the motorway from Nurnberg to Berlin! Nurnberg is over 600km east of the Ardennes.

I'm not a flip-flopper so much as I am an absolute coward. For example, I've had a centurion Mk5 AVRE unfinished on the shelf for 2 years or more because I was so pleased with the paint finish that I was too scared to weather the damn thing! That hasn't changed by the way, it's still sitting on the shelf staring at me!

Did you say next shinny thing ! Yes for me it's hard to see one model from start to finish..

Hi Clayton, that little diorama has turned out perfectly, I liked the way you made the whole setting but I particularly liked the road sign pole, best regards from a Kiwi living in Melbourne, Les

Hey Clayton, beautiful work as always! :) One small nitpick from a German guy though: You might want to remove the sign "Reichsautobahn Nürnberg-Berlin". This would not be anywhere near the Ardennes. It's a little bit like if the signs "San Francisco, 1 mile" and "LaGuardia airport this way" were on the same sign post. ;)

Uff nice dilema you pose at the end. I personally do not flip flop in models that require assembling. Reason being is that yeah, the issue of storage other than place them in their box but what would happen if I were to put something heavy on top of it? So I see the model to its bitter end lol😂 (which is not bitter as it is something joyful to see them complete). However since I’m a adamant artillery lover, only twice I set some of the German ww2 artillery pieces on the side because of the sheer number of small parts that was just driving me nuts to do until I was able to finally finish one of those pieces and still have the other yet to be competed (the German möser). But yeah, I build them straight away… although that can’t be said about buying more and more and more sets vs the ones I’m doing as I build them one at a time and buy 3 at a time 😂😂😂 and my mother is not very happy about that as well as my wallet and my closet 🤣🤣🤣

Superb little scene Clayton 👍 About your fear ... on yellow snow 😅 I have to vignett's I made more then ten years ago. Snow also made from baking soda ,pva and Salt (for sprinkles) .No Varnish and they are still white and not yellowish 😊 I have only a handful of unfinished modells in my stash collectet over the last decade. Normaly a built and paint a model complete before I start a new project. In the last three years I paintet mostly figures to become a better figure painter. And my effort payed off. But now i have some "Problems" when it comes to built AFV Kits. Not with rhe build as such but with the wheatering 🙈😂 Happy modelling and greetings from good old Switzerland

SQUIRREL....

Great video. Very informative and helpful. Love the out takes

always a good job 👍

I've got the attention span of a ferret on a speedball! 😁 I go down a lot of rabbit holes of, "Ooh! I could put this on it!" or "I bet that would look good on it!" Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much! 😝

hello dear Clayton,your saynète is stunning!i'm enjoy you make snow with baking soda that we talked about!your wood effect on the panelling is great,well done!!i work on the Panther D Tamiya,but i buy many kits and i dream when i open the boxes:) amity from Paris,sincerely your Patrick

Excellent stuff Clayton I wasn't going to bother with this kit due to the general reviews. But it's great to see what you've done with it and you've definitely given me a different outlook on it.

Great stuff man 👏👏

I am A flip flopper. Anything I build shall we say evolves over time as different ideas come into my head. And yes I have several builds happening at the same time. So welcome to the club!😁

beautiful job 👌 love how it came out, especially the concrete power pole....... unfortunately im one that has to start and finish a model before I allow myself to start a new kit

Great job seeing that kit through to the end . I try to build one kit at a time , but as many of us do ,I have a shelf of doom that has half built kits sitting on it. As long as they are on the shelf they still have a chance of being completed one day , but if I put it back in the box that usually means it is done for .. never to see the light of day ever again. Life is too short to be frustrated by our hobby . That weasel would have been a boxed kit for sure.. (never did buy one) Keep up the great work, I always look forward to your videos.

Great stuff Clayton!

I built an old Tamiya sdkfz 251 kit from 1970 a couple of months ago and it still remains as a good value option… all you’ve got to do is add some aftermarket kits and do a proper painting and weathering job…In a few days I’m going to build a Dragon 251 falke; let’s check the differences between this and the old Tamiya

A great little dio for the Weasel Clayton, and the road signs and figure really set the scene. Shamefully, I am one of those modellers you referred to, that drop everything when the latest ‘Shiny New Thing’ as you put it, catches my attention, and I will put aside what I am working on and attack it with gusto. Subsequently of course, I have quite a few half finished kits waiting for some TLC. I have taken steps to remedy this situation, and I have put myself on notice that models that I am currently working on, must be completed before I start working on a newly delivered kit. I have even put up a sign to that effect in my hobby room! However, whether my resolve will weaken is in the hands of the Gods I’m afraid. Again, an outstanding result with the little Weasel. Cheers until the next project mate!

you made it to the finish line! I try to reach 90% completion on a model before building a new kit. But its increasingly difficult because Im always held hostage by my clingy parrot these days!

Most of the time i build the model, thinking i will do the running gear later so weathering is easier. Then i come to painting and i just do the primer. Airbrushing is hard because i am either at work or playing with my daughter or she is asleep and i dont want her to wake up from the compressor. Then i build a new one. And repeat the cycle

Nice work Clayton, it all came together nicely.

One of the tricks to stop baking soda from yellowing is to mix a small amounts of white acrylic paint and gloss acrylic varnish. So far, baking soda is still holding strong.

I tend to lose interest during painting and weathering. Have three models painted and two in build at the moment. I try to force my self to see one through to completion before starting the build on another. However that is not working to well at the moment. Thanks for the videos. Look forward to your content every couple of weeks.

The whole scene looks so amazing,I can’t believe you used so much techniques on such a small base,and they all worked so well.Great work Clayton,and I might have to copy the scene idea for a different tank 😆. Thanks for the hard work!

Stunning great work

hello dear Clayton;i have the m21 and the M16 quad mount;there superb,cheers Patrick

Awesome review. The Takom hetzer is a tremendous value for the money. Level of detail of the parts is superb. I've purchased the early and mid variants. A huge bonus that interior components is included as is a metal barrel. I absolutely enjoy full interior builds. Takes the model to a different level. It's great kits are now including interiors. Year's ago for many kits, if one wanted to build the interior, expensive resin aftermarket components were the option. Such as what CMK produced. The only thing that I plan on doing with my build is using Fruil metal track links.

Brings back memories and builds well 😊 Still a great Tamiya kit

I just finished the M21 mortar carrier... Comparable to today's standards? No. Still a decent kit that builds up nicely? Yes. Great bang for the buck, especially for someone starting out.
