I'm working on a new episode of SCHOOL of PLASTIC!!!
@ThePlasticGeneral There are thousands upon thousands of toy soldier afficionados. I've been to toy soldier shows and they are well attended. I hope your channel gets more views. I'd like to see younger kids get into the hobby. Collecting, painting, gaming etc.
@@geronimo3752 Thank you! You are going to be seeing a lot more output from the Plastic General, especially now because I'm launching my toy soldier line in Sept!!!
Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
I love your shirt 🤣
Which shirt?

Incidentally, no offense, but did you know that you have an amazing resemblance to Emil Morris, who was Hitler's chauffer? See the Wikipedia article on "Emil Morris, Hitler's Chauffer", and you'll see what I mean.
Handsome Gent that Nazi Chauffeur! So much so, he had his own Chauffeur drive him around while Adolph was servicing his fraulines 😮
He Paid Well!!!!

What is “ the Michigan toy soldier society “? Do you mean Michigan toy soldier store in royal oak? Come on general don’t confuse me.
YES, Michigan Toy Soldier & Ontario Model Soldier Society are two different entities.
This episode deserves more Love!!!!
I'm putting together a playlist of CZcams videos that I call Plastic Men. This video is going to the top of the list.
Thank you, I'm Flattered!
I'm also ready to make another episode of The School of Plastic!
@@ThePlasticGeneral I"m looking forward to the lesson Professor. It would be interesting to see more examples of odd poses like that German soldier that looked like he ate a bratwurst that didn't agree with him.
@@jamesswing2115 Reach out to Christian Aldo on Facebook!
Excellent
Thank you! I'll circle around and do France again.
Great segment clocking in at 28 mins! Can't wait for the 75 plus feature length! Ambitious? You bet!
One day soon!!!
Thanks for another great video, Christian--one of your very best! And thanks too for the heads-up!
You Bet!!!
"ice breaker thingy " is a cable cutter.
Very Good to know!! Thank you!!!
Torpedo Los, 4:37 Commander you are Wunderlust top notch writer, producer, artist actor with a big imagination, you can do anything with great success. Please more to come.
Thank you good Sir, half of my pleasure is sharing with guys like you!!!
Cute outfit.. eagle goes on the other side of your tunic. 🤔
Everything is a mirror image.. camera I suppose. Sorry 😂
Thank you! I was testing your knowledge!! You passed the Plastic I.Q test!!
You are 1OO% right!! I can't believe I made that mistake!!!!!!!!
Great content, worth the wait..
Thanks!! Australians vs Japanese Next!!
I'm giving this clown the boot. Don't know what CZcams was thinking when they steered Captain Bozo to me but Adios!

@@ThePlasticGeneralGood for you! 😊
Great fun old bean. Subscribed in the UK.
Thank you good Sir!!
A fun modeling channel. Subscribed
Thank you Good model loving Sir!! I'll make you glad you did!
CORRECTION; Just checked CZcams and apparently "Submarine Attack" has been taken down, probably due to copyright issues. It comes and goes, so check periodically. Great and realistic film, based on a true story of an Italian sub that took survivors of a shipwreck aboard.
Duly noted, Thank you! And thanks for scaring me, I thought you were talking about one of my early U-Boat episodes!
Thanks!
Thank you David!! Next episode I hope to make you proud!!!
Nice modeling! Some historical info; the Italians also had a pretty respectable submarine fleet, although Hollywood and our media have chosen not to cover it, generally speaking. Italian subs operated singly and not in wolfpacks, and over a hundred were lost in the Atlantic. A great color movie was done in the 1950's called "Submarine Attack", starring Folco Lulli, which actually used an authentic WW2 Italian sub. You can see it on CZcams, has some great interior shots. Also they hired stunt pilots flying Mustangs to attack the sub on strafing runs----again very realistic.
You're the man!! Keep um comin!!
Thankx! Australians Next!!
For a Canadian, you made a very “American” (ie “is there an empty space there? Stick a gun there!” ) U-Boat - XD
If I had More, I'd use Them!!!!

@@ThePlasticGeneral No problem Christian.
@@MarcusRomeroProductions Any new posts from you as of late?

Brilliant episode. Would be good with scripted dialogue between the figures. The Vosper captain’s coat is a Duffel coat.
Thank you! I do these shoots on the fly and sometimes I get bitten by lack of information! a "Duffel Coat" !!!
Plastic general is back !!! yeah, you're back and ready to attack 💪😎
DESTROY!!!!!!!!!!!! and Enjoy!!!!
Bro, I was waiting. I was like dude when is this dude gonna come out with something?
Dude Has Delivered!!!
This episode just makes me want more!! What about a Royal Navy torpedo vs. Kriegsmaribe Schnellboot?!? Maybe with commandoes, a la the St Nazaire raid!!
Thanks man!! That is in the Pipeline!! I've already done the St Nazaire raid!!! czcams.com/video/NX0EcX1UK5Q/video.html
Don't forget that Andrea Miniatures has a whole hull in 1/32 scale but I think it's close to 3,000.00 bucks.

I just looked it up, they did.
I think these guys are brilliant really good detail. I’ve never heard of them before I’m from the UK so we’re limited to which companies Air fix matchbox Atlantic. I like your videos.

The Browning Auto rifle was a Polish home made copy as they got around the licensing agreement!
You are Correct Sir! Thank you!
Fisher Price Buildings ! 😳 Aha ! What a simple idea 👍 Your Channel is goldworth. Many thanks 👋🙂👍
Great episode! I really like all the TSSD sets, and I liked your conversions. I especially like the one where the guy is kneeling holding the Panzerfaust vertically. I want to get those British Infantry from Weston, too.
As you Should!!
Where are your large citybuildings coming from ? For the moment i“m working on a french street building from Mini Art in 1:35 scale… I like the soft Contiplastic my dear General, but i only have one dead german imade in canada in my 1:32 Collection 👋🤕👍
But has he ever been confirmed dead? Who knows :D
Very impressive, especially the SS. I’ve been looking for them for a long time.
They pop up on Ebay every now and then.
@@ThePlasticGeneral funny you should say that I’ve just bought 10 boxes of AIR FX 1970s soldiers as a job lot for a very good price , the seller said he will let me know if any SS soldiers come up for grabs I’m in the Uk . The American troops that you were showing us were so much more detailed than the United Kingdom EX models. Please tell me the name of that company perhaps I can hunt them down around the planet. 🌎☺️ thx DSM . PS Are you general pattern? lol usa 🇺🇸
