    Apologies for the constant changing brightness levels. I realized halfway through filming this that my camera settings weren't correct. Also, the low resolution! So much to learn about doing video... The next will be better!

    I've been binging your videos for a few hours and I like the work you do. You've mentioned Boylei a few times... and to be honest I like your work much more. His pieces lack personality and are more often than not model kits slapped on a base. I feel you have a better handle on the nuances of a piece that gives it a sense of realism.

  • @shannonchurchill4556
    @shannonchurchill4556 Před 2 lety +2

    Jet engine lesson; basically, starting at the front, the fan blades at the intake are called the compressor blades, (not the turbine) which suck in the air and (you guessed it) compress it before fuel is added and ignited in the combustion chamber. The exhaust gasses passes through another set of fan blades, which are called the turbine blades, and which in turn, drive the compressor blades. The exhaust then exits the back of the engine through what are called ejector flaps (the trapezoid shaped flaps you didn’t know the term for). On military planes, there’s a secondary combustion chamber between the turbine and ejector flaps, which is called the afterburner.

    Not bad.
    If I may, the racers in the movie were typically much bigger than what you made, meaning while it's probably functional in universe, your racer is SUPER tiny. The guy should have been maybe a fourth of his size if you wanted to make it more scale accurate.

      You're absolutely right, and actually I cut myself on my last build doing just this thing. Unfortunately however, I find that often the proper way/direction/angle of cutting feels very awkward and unnatural, especially when working with small pieces that are difficult to hold down. Thanks for looking out, though!
