It just bums me out that there are actually people out there that are upset that someone spent his life perfecting a craft and now wants to profit from their experience. That’s just business. No one should judge someone for learning a skill and profiting from it. Keep doing what your doing Don...I am very grateful there are people like you that help people like me. Thank you!!!
Donn, You have been a great ambassador for this great hobby. You are also a TRUE MENTOR , for the young guys coming up. I have been building since 1962 , my Dad started me in this hobby at age 6 . I am still learning & you are helping me to achieve results like never before. Thank you Donn. Rick
1 old man to another, I appreciate what you are doing I like your story tried and true I have built models as a young fella around 8 never got into painting because I couldn't by it. I was in my wood shop a few weeks ago and I noticed a couple of models I had from years ago and I have acquired an airbrush setup and thought why not learn to do it better so thank you for doing what you are doing I think its great 😊
Thank you I’ve learned a lot from you. Bought many products because of your demonstration. I have found most people with all there comments probably has never built anything. Thank you for taking time for your videos. I’m a master model rr. The people who criticized me the worst never had a railroad
Video is 5 years old, and unfortunately some of what you complain about still happens. I’m an aircraft model guy, but getting ready to do my first car and your videos are very helpful to me for the different techniques.
“FANTASTIC” well put, loved it and so true, I’m coming back to the hobby and I like get tips and tricks knowledge is everything. Thank you and beautiful work that you put out.
Don your work and what you do stands for itself I have not seen anyone consistently puts out model after model that is even touches your abilities. Thanks for all you do. God bless
Hi I started watching it 1 or 2 months ago I am in my sixties I have been modelling since 1968 And I've learned a lot from you in last 2 months Your right you should keep learning everyday Thank you for this channel . I retired a few years ago and I start building Models again. Have a nice day and I will keep watching you
You helped me on a previous video comment. I got a skillet across the head, but I got a nice dehydrator. Thank you for all you do. I am new to the hobby, and thank you once again.
I have both your DVD's and I love them. I have learned a lot from them and I have been building models for 30 plus years. Thank you very much! Can't wait for you to get started here. Welcome! Just real glad to see you on here Don!! Thanks for your time...it's much appreciated...
Glad to see ya here Donny! Can't wait! ;) Just a tip Donny, I would put the link to your site in the description, good way to generate traffic! Just a suggestion. ;)
Love your airbrush DVD, it is a great foundation for any builder. Your right about learning......every time I watch a new video I learn something new. Great stuff Donn, Happy building!
Great looking cars Old man! I used some of your painting tips on a 70 superbird. Took it to a small local model show and came home with best paint and best of show. Cant thank you enough! Happy modeling!!
Donn, had seen a few of your videos ,so I restarted FB, just for models. Sadley I gave up on FB. Flooded with to much that I don't care about. So I decided to start at the beginning of your channel and watch them. You and others for modeling will do me just fine. I am not doing this for shows like you. I am on disability and need a hobby . So I figured cars mainly, but maybe some planes, military vehicles ect. Thanks for your time in making these videos. And I agree with you, no need for garbage on this channel. Mike
nice eye candy! I agree with you on the model car bullies....that crap needs to stop...I'm glad to see you on youtube...will be enjoying it! Thanks for all the help in the past and near future...
I really dig your videos. I thought I was the only one still playing with model cars at our age. I ran across your dent repair using super glue ( awesome trick ) All you cars are fantastic. Thanks for the tip !............Dennis
Like your style. I’m recently retired and started modeling again. Been doing mostly military, but after seeing your Moebius Comet. I just bought one. I like your idea of putting in brake lines, fuel lines, etc. I wired a 1/35 scale cargo truck so I’m going to give that a try also. Thanks. Great style. No BS keep it up!!!
Great to stumble on your channel Don. You are truly a model master. I have ordered your DVD's a long time ago and took my building to the next level. Definatley great to have you back sir!
You do beautiful work for the hobby and your heart is in the right place for others to succeed! I thank you and lots of luck and blessings in your future!... Bob
I found out about this channel via Dr. Cranky - I can tell I'm REALLY going to enjoy this! I'm so tired of some of the drama that sprouts up. Your sentiments on sharing with the community are spot-on. There's nothing wrong with getting paid, but the community must share so everyone benefits. It's like that in all industries.
Good work keep it up I've been building since 1957 and love to see what's going on in this hobby I don't just build cars I do a bit of everything if it catches my eye I build it be cool and keep building
Your cars are awesome , you don’t need to beat that chest your a champion your attitude and philosophy is awesome I’m not a great builder but I recon I’ll get better even a quarter as good as yours and I’ll be so happy thanks Donn 👍 kev
Great video Donn! Fantastic idea setting the pace right out of the gate! I am not a big car builder. But, your advice and techniques will be most helpful is lots of other builds as well! Really glad you started this channel! Thanks..........Kenny
this is the best video i have ever seen of donn yost i think he means what he said's i like that in this man please don't ever change donn yost you remind me of my father he is a mans man thank you donn yost
+Thanks Doc , to you and everyone else who have been so supportive , I am humbled and blessed by all of your comments . Sorry for the lateness of my response to ya'll but we are still setting up the IPads & phones to be able to do so . My phone is still being an asshat and refuses to load the necessary program . Gotta love technology , eh ? Please continue to spread the word however you can . We have been in the shop every single day shooting video and will continue to do so through this week and the next ... Talk to ya'll soon ! The Old Man Doctor Cranky's Lab-RAT-ory
there always jreks out there you know and we all know this you go mr. yost you don't this stuff your a good man to this hobby and your right its about having fun and you do make it fun thank you mr. yost
I am enjoying and benefitting from your channel. I'm 59 and preparing to get back into a hobby that brought me much joy when I was young. Negativity kills me. I am a decent musician and a gearhead. You would think that common interests would foster an environment of community and support. Guitar forums are viscious. It's the kids that pretend to have gear that they don't have criticizing others for their choices. It's people telling you your performance sucks when they have zero content on their own channels. It was hard at first and took time to understand that I am not the comment police. I have been challenged to a fistfight for not liking some guy from Steely Dan's pink guitar. When we have the opportunity to learn from those with knowledge and experience, rejecting that opportunity is just plain stupid. I appreciate what you do. Rant over. Peace. New subscriber.
Really looking forward to your channel! Love your videos, and I am excited to be learning as much as I can from a legend. Ignore the haters - they have small pathetic lives, and life is too short.
Don+ god bless you are 100% correct put these idiots in there place I've been in this hobby since 1973 love the hobby I am still learning new stuff god bless you and your family my friend keep up the great work when money. Permit I will by your DVDs money well spent
Hi mate I’ve been watching your CZcams channel I have subscribed I also asked a question about your videos as I would love to get them here in Australia 🇦🇺 I am on a pension due to ill health and love modelling, I watch a lot of CZcams videos on models you are a great straight man and I honestly believe this is the upmost best modelling channel I’ve come across and just wanted to say some people are just idiots please know that there is people like myself that treasure every word you say and thank you so very very much you may not realise it but you given me hope happiness and joy THANK YOU 😊
Scale Model Techniques Fantastic I will chase those DVDs up and organising a debit card so I can pay you for the paid subscription once Thank You now it’s time to support you in what you are trying to achieve 🤩🍻
Donn I know you do mostly cars but could you possibly give me some tips on painting stripes on big rig models? I don’t want to apply the decals I wanna give my try at hand painting. I like the old school stripes that was seen on the 70’s era Peterbilt Freightliner and Kenworths. I love your tutorials and keep on building brother
Mike Wilkerson Mike , the only suggestion that I have is to use Tamiya tape and bare metal foil for your masking . These two products provide the razor thin lines that are required for a realistic appearance . Light mist coats are a requirement ....!
Donn one more question brother. Before I even start my idea to my model i have this silly notion of a paint mixture I would like to try. It’s white pearlescent with sublime green on white primer body. Is this an idea I need to keep in my head not do it? Or do I try it? I have searched all over the web to get an idea of what the outcome would be but I have found nothing. What’s your opinion buddy I need some advice
Thanks Donnie. I ran into your page while looking for information on how to paint model cars. Have a model that is a cross between a car and an airplane but looks so much more like a car that I thought it would be better to learn to properly paint a car model. I have only done AFV, mecha and some fantasy figures so far. It might be a one shot deal for me so I didn't want to screw it up. I plan on buying your DVDs since a guy on the page I found highly recommended them. I saw your into video and think it's shame you lost quite a bit ot revenue due to piracy but glad you have YT to share your knowledge. Those models look amazing. Hard to beleive they're plastic, they look like die cast or better! Good luck with the channel. Plan on subscribing and your comments were absolutely true: I easily spend a few hundred every couple of months on models alone, why not spend $60 for our DVDs plus subscribe to your channel to make sure I don't mess it up and end up throwing it away?
Enamels and lacquer's aren't water based . The dehydrator causes the finish to flash out much faster , resulting in a harder , tighter , paint finish in a much shorter time span .

Sublime green . White Pearl X laden clear over top will work . The pearlescent might drown out the green or make it look like a ball of snot .....
Well said Donn !!
Awesome Video!! Well said..
Where can I get that tool for cutting doors rather then using a X-acto blade
So do you do builts on your channel or just DVD?....cars look good man....like ya said its fun but oh well.....

its worth the money hes doing this for his fan
I love your tutorials and vids. I'm a little at a loss but why do you use the dehydrator 's?
The dehydrator drys the paint within 24 hours at 105 degrees . It will also help pull slight orange peal and smooth it out .
@@ScaleModelTechniques thank you so much. I didn't think today's pthe m aints had that mucb water in
In them
Enamels and lacquer's aren't water based . The dehydrator causes the finish to flash out much faster , resulting in a harder , tighter , paint finish in a much shorter time span .
this is the guy who learn from others and he teach his fans
tank's for the inpiracion I'm in the process to bildin models back again I don like office politics I support the hobby tank's agien
well said...

nice video! +1s^^ from japan.
