I grew up making Scale Military Models in the 70's ... we built Models with none of the kit you see today ... it was literally Glue and Paint - decals were pushed about with a soft toothpick and the tip of your finger. It's great to build up a tool kit but people would be amazed at how much you can get done with little to nothing also. I say this with the take away that I hope people don't see having gear as a barrier to just getting started on the Hobby - you can do a lot with next to nothing. Having the right tools for the job however makes light work, precise work and really NICE work ... easier!

The right tools are great but it’s doesn’t replace passion and ingenuity passion for the hobby will get you father than any tool
I'm old school. All you need is a good nail file kit, alligator clips an exacto blade and snips to cut parts off the tree.
Gold. We have an Arabic saying : the stick in the hand of hero is a sword.
I've been building models most of my life but always enjoy watching these types of videos because there is always something to learn. So glad I watched this as I have been buying the Tamiya pointed cotton swabs for years not knowing you could literally buy thousands of them for the same price as 1 pack of Tamiya! You'll save me a fortune!
Another great hobby video. Building since 1966 and thanks to social media I still can learn some new tricks and tips.
This is a great video. It exposes people to a whole range of tools and accessories for modeling, that you wouldn’t necessarily know they exist. Most people new to the hobby only know 3 things. Glue,xacto ,and maybe nippers.
You my friend are amazing! You have every tool for every project, and then some. Thank you sharing your ideas and advice. Kudos.
This video is awesome man. I'm trying to get back into scale modeling after 30 years, and these recommendations were exactly the kind of information I was needing and looking for.
Thanks buddy, welcome back 😀
I’ve seen quite a few of these kinds of videos. None have kept my attention and taught me so many new awesome things man! Killer job! Fast, to the point, and extremely informative! You sir, have yourself a new subscriber! Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching
Fantastic video! There are too many others out there focusing too much on YT hits instead of information. So glad this was more than "You're gonna need brushes, a knife, and paint."
I'm somewhat new to this, so this was great to expose me to tools of the trade I didn't even know existed.
i love the way you get straight to the point and steam through all the stuff you want to show us
Thanks, I try my best. Pretty new at this stuff. I try to make videos I would like to see myself. Thanks for watching
I modified tweezers with a Dremal tool by grinding a concave relief into the gripping surface to keep round parts from launching out when picked up. Also helping hands with the two articulating alligator clips and magnifying glass is handy even to hold parts for painting. Modeling clay is used for holding parts too.
Another outstanding video, you always give out not just one option but usually two or three. makes it easier when you go to the hobby store you kind of know what you're looking for.
Thanks again!
I gotta say you're like the nicest guy on you tube. The most harmless model car builder in the USA. I can't really fault you on anything keep up the good work my friend
I like you because this is exactly how my brain works too. Overloaded with so much and so many choices ... i was going broke in other hobbies trying everything out .. and here we are. I love painting and i really like the building so im stocking up on most of this. Thank you!
Thanks buddy. It's a great hobby. I love the supplies. Thanks for watching
Great and terrifically comprehensive survey of very useful tools, esp. needed by someone (myself) just coming back to the hobby after a few decades layoff.I went to Amazon for a number of these, and was presented with a variety of choices, types, & price ranges for every budget.Thank you.
as a former ho scale modeler, ive gone n scale now, ty for the info sir, well done
I paint a lot of warhammer models/do commission work. You have definitely earned my sub.
I love watching scale model youtubers to see what sort of stuff i can cross-pollinate into my hobby.
A lot of this i already use, but that flex sander looks magical, few other items too.
Thanks for the sub my friend
Appreciate these videos. I've been in the hobby for a while and I'm even finding these helpful and adding new stuff to the repertoire.
Thanks for watching buddy
Thanks for these great modeling tips, I'm getting back into it the hobby after a lone time off, sure has come a long way.
Thanks for watching. Be sure to watch my earlier video on more tips that are more about saving money
One thing I love about this hobby is how many tools I had going in because nails 😄
So many tools I learn existed from this video. Thank you!!
Thanks Emily, I'm filming an in depth look at my paint racks now to go up today plus a bonus paint test video, a 2 in 1 day bonus 😀
I just started modeling a month ago in 1:35 and man this is a great video thanks.
Good video. Thanks for your contribution. It is very helpful to us old new modelers.
Just caught this video today. I know you made it three years ago but just starting back into the hobby and I really enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time and effort.
You're welcome buddy
Thanks for the information, looking into start modeling, you answered a lot of questions for me.
You have a serious dose of gadgetitis. Seriously though, the availability of such a broad range of specific items and tools for the serious/professional hobby modeler, is impressive. I'm an Irish sculptor and I frequently cast multiples of my figures for painting, and am more than grateful for the gamut of of gadgets and mediums available. Love your vids, as they're a great approach to practicality and organisation, focused on the task(s) at hand. Keep those little gems coming 👍.
Thanks buddy, many more to come 👌
Excellent info. Just returning to model making. Got so inspired by your video that I stopped it after first 15 min and ran out to Hoppy Lobby. Beginning tool buildup and haven’t even started model. Great info.
Welcome back buddy and thanks for watching
Welcome back, I too was out of the hobby for years. It gives me a satisfaction that video games and hobbies can't guve. Thanks for watching
Greetings from Scotland. I’m new to model building and your videos are so helpful. Thank you so much!
You're welcome my friend
Seen a couple of your vids now mate ,,, Fantastic, and many thanks 🙏 No BS model channel,,,,, cheers fella 🇬🇧👍👌👍🇬🇧
I like the clothespin holding the paint brush. Thanks for the video.
Some nice stuff....and great ideas of where to look for them.
I have obtained many tools for my bench at Lowes. Especially paint and sandpaper. Great tips and ideas bud.
Thanks buddy, thanks for watching
Some very nice recommendations indeed. And yes, those Raser are just glorified glass nail file... avoid them.
Why not use glass pipettes? The markings are clearer and the best part about them is that they are easily cleaned - also double as stirrer at times. I bought a dozen of glass pipettes ranging from 1ml to 20ml and never had to worry about pipette ever. Yes, it cost much more initially but in a couple of years they will pay for themselves - as long as you dont drop them :P
p/s: I am cheap, I just recycle runners as paint mixer most of the time. Just cut a stick, heat up one end and flatten it if needs be, stir and throw.
This is the best video I've found on this topic. Grade A - thank you
Finding the runner stand is more than a notion. It is a revelation, and a game changer for organizing scale model builders...but it is not easy to find. I'm ordering the next best thing on Amazon.
Thanks for the tips. Have a great day.
I love all these videos you make. Your enjoyment of the hobby shows and it's infectious. Thanks! Also, I love all the glue for testing purposes... that's like me and all my paints for my minis ;D
I guess you are a kind person. This video is very good information for beginners. PS. You guys gotta have many super fine brushes with cheap or middle prices, that is better than have few expensive super fine brushes, just on my opinion.
Some tools I started using after seeing a nail saloon girl at work, is the Nail art tools she was using. I got them from a large river in South America, there are dotting tools which are great for painting small hard to get to spots and they are good for placing parts when gluing. There are a quite few Nail art tools that can how uses in modelling.
I'm definitely into the hobby. I love you and this channel thanks man!
Love you too buddy 😉 thanks for watching
Cool little set yeah i like no,11 blade too for the zacto knife thanks for sharing
Great video for an old retired guy getting back in to modeling.
Such an essential list. The explanations were great
Great picks, thanks!
Awesome video!! So much valuable information! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching, Merry Christmas
What an awesome video. All great recommendations. Thanks for sharing. Im a new subscriber to your channel and love your videos. Especially the reviews. Keep up the great work!
Very helpful, thanks for posting.
Thank you sir for the enlightening video!
Great video. Thanks for all your h tips!
Very cool video!... Thank you!
Great job! I picked up tips for my 3D printing, if you can believe it! Thanks again!
Your welcome buddy
The Tamiya metal paint stirrers i've been using since the 90's...they are great
Great product, great company
Nice tips. Thanks for sharing
Great video. You turned me onto some new supplies 👍
Love supplies, I think a bit more than the kits at this point. You just can't beat a great tool for the job. Thanks for watching
Excellent video thank you for posting
This is so amazingly informative. Thank you.
Thanks buddy, and thanks for watching
New subscriber returning to the hobby. I’m a retired aircraft mechanic. Your videos are fantastic. Will definitely pick up some if not most of your recommendations on the products. I want to get a new compressor for my airbrushing. The one I’ve used is an oldie and very noisy. Do you have any recommendations for a new one? Very glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and videos Artie 😊😊
Oh my God! That's a fully-loaded video. It's not nerdy, you're just a guy, like us. Thanks for this truck-load of knowledge.
Thanks buddy 👍
You can double and triple up tape in the large tape holder to safe space
Great videos thanks
Thanks dude.... Very helpful. Cool products
Thanx for the tips. They were very helpful to the point I order some of the items you described which resulted in you having a new subscriber.
Thanks for watching and the sub. Have a great day
@@barbatosrex9473 Who would have thought to shop at Medical Supply stores and the cosmetic section at CVS for modeling tools, gears and oddments? - Again thanks for the tips.
I literally put together my kits for almost 20 years with crazy glue, a nail clipper, some nail sanding sticks and testors orange tube glue. The only paint i had access to was common spray cans from a hardware store.
You adapt and overcome
STOP
Thank you for the tips.
someone's prolly said already but just in case, OLFA may be also available at your local sewing store, they started (afaik) in cutting for quilters and the like, that's how I know of them anyway. Funnily enough a lot of my quilting/crafting supplies do double duty for scale modeling/miniatures
I wish I'd known about the canopy glue during my last build =/ maybe it's just old, but my Testors clear canopy just didn't work (hold)
Those runner stands are def something I need too - thanks for the video! enjoyed
Enjoyed this and thx for sharing
Thank you for watching.
Great video.Enjoy it thanks
I have most of already still have to get more I think I will be getting those runner stands next
Use the affiliation links get your channel big it's really good tips love to see more
Yes, I'm starting to work on that. Just got approved by Amazon for affiliation links a couple weeks ago and I'm starting to go back and place them. I could use the extra cash for testing more products for sure.
Good stuff!
hey bud, baking soda and water or alcohol mixture works awesome for a super glue kick starter to, thats what i use. and its instant as well, use like a tablespoon of baking soda to a half cup or cup of water or the isopropal* alcohol. works great and heck of a lot cheaper ; )
Excellent video very very informative thanks for posting
Thanks for watching
Swann Morton scalpel blades in 10a or 11 in a retractable holder is my blade of choice. It's safe and I don't stab myself while absent-mindedly putting a cap back on.
Great vid!! 👍👍👍
That wing gundam is amazing
Liking the flex-file so I made one out of alloy bar and it works great, thanks for that one.
Looks like the Zip Kicker is the same principal as Mitre fast for using on Super Glue but that can turn thing a bit white. Does the Zip Kicker do that ??
Once saw a video that said you can use sodium bicarbonate and it'll do the same acceleration ! Haven't tried that one yet though.
The tooth flossing brushes are brilliant for cleaning air brushes and like you said they come in several sizes by colour codes. . . the ones they supply with the metal ends do scratch your airbrush for certain !!!
The runner stand is a new one on me and it looks absolutely fabulous. Definitely getting that set.
Really enjoyed watching your video even though I've been modelling for years. Just goes to show that there's always something new to learn.
GREAT JOB
Super video and thanks for the tipsss God bless you my friend
Thanks for watching a d God bless you and your family too
Thanks for this, some great ideas and options!🍻👍🍺
Well that's you costing me money again, stop finding these must haves lol, looking forward to starting the kit in the new year,that and another load of kits I've stashed,but the spit is top of the pile ,keep up the good work👍
Thanks for the video, very helpful. New subscriber
Superb video well presented. Thank you Sir.
Your welcome, thanks for watching
thank you
Thank You for taking time to put this video together. I'm gonna start this hobby and I'll be attempting WW1 & WW2 fighter planes. If Brush painting, what would you recommend as Best paints to brush with, Acrylics etc? Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Super vid. Like ur enthusiam
Excellent well detailed video. Any link to the flat mixing cups with the spout and covers?
This is a great video!!!
The ONLY recommendation I’d make, is more for you than us. Take the time to put Amazon affiliate links in your description for every Amazon product you recommend. We can easily buy the stuff you recommend, and you’ll get a kickback. If you don’t want the money, you could always do giveaways for Amazon gift cards, but if I were you, I’d use the affiliate payment to buy more supplies or products to test!
YES. DO THIS!! You deserve the kickback after these videos and recommendations!
@@axl60 ... and we, the viewers, deserve the single-click ease.
LOVE IT!!
Thanks buddy 👍
Duplicolor is the best primer i used, very fine result, their paints also aren't bad, gonna order some Vallejo Plastic Putty for filling seam lines and pin holes, i currently used something similar to spackle paste used for drywall to cover up 3d print imperfections.
Are you talking about their Spray Can Primer? Also for the record, I have a big putty comparison test video coming soon that includes Vallejo
Barbatos Rex Yes Duplicolor grey spray primer is the best, oh cool can’t wait to see it.
Looking forward to the next hour of learning from you!
edit: Well that was fun. I love tools and gadgets. I'm looking forward to some of your gundam building vids. Personally, I don't do gundams or cars, but I just started doing warhammer miniatures. Many of your tips are helpful for all model builders. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always learn something from your vids.
Now this is a class you don't mind attending 😉
Keep up the good stuff. What do you feel is your best and strongest glue?
I live like 30 mins from megahobby over the bridge. They are a great place to go when i am in a pinch. Only downside is they do seem to be priced higher than most other places and are often out of stock of essentials.
I've been building models and miniatures for over 50 years, and you have taught me some great tips! Wish I knew them years ago! Thank you!
Wow thank you for that great feedback and thank you for watching
I also got the quick release blade :)
Hi, love your video! I am going back to modeling after almost 30 years and your input is fantastic, much needed to kick off.
I cannot find the elastic sanding paper/film. Can you tell me where to look for it? Many thanks
Great video on products needed, used along with finding in departments once only reserved for beauty, paint section in WalMart, etc
Link for brown bottles with glass eye dropper.
Link or product number for Tamiya empty paint mix bottles.
Thanks again.. feels great getting back into model making after many years absent
Really enjoying the videos - thanks.
I have an issue with lots of spray can paints (Krylon, Rustoleum, etc.) clogging and becoming wasted. I’ve tried soaking the spray heads in solvent, replacing them, inverting the can to spray propellant through when done … but keep having the problem. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Viva la creatividad!!
I tried to find those amazing mixing cups on amazon Germany but I could not find anything so small and with a cup. I am talking about the ones on the video, not at the amazon link.
Very nice video :)
Amazing video
Thank you and thanks for watching
Hi Rex, I’m a grandmother who does craft with her grandkids….interested for my 11yr old grandson. Learned from you and bought a compressor and airbrush. Was going to use craft paint like you showed us. Telling my son about all of this….and he brings me a big box of Tamiya paints….about a hundred jars plus thinner, gloss and a couple of Japanese models one no English, that he picked up at a sale. Older stuff one jar was marked$2.50. A few of mr color was dry but I put mr color thinner and am rehydrating them. Would love to see you builds model for us. I watch a lot of videos to learn and yours is excelllent. A couple of items to checkout is Tim Holtz scissors he has 3 sizes the small one is pointed, sharp the med one cuts metal leather etc. Hobby Lobby has them in the craft section under Tim Holtz items they are 40% off often so $6-7. Also nail painting has twizzers, tiny tiny brushes. I buy eyeliner brushes on Amazon in bulk. Also very small rubber like spatula to crape out jars also Amazon.
Thank you so much for the tips. I will visit Hobby Lobby tomorrow morning and do a little shopping 😉 So wonderful to hear you sharing the hobby with children, I love hearing that. Once I'm done testing all the paints, I'll try to shift to model building. I have to change my camera set up and what not before doing so. Thank you for the great feedback and thank you for watching. You made my day 👍
Tim Holt items are by the wooded stamps…they are 40% off this week. I went to HB today and picked up several items you talked about. Thanks again Sue
You are a great consumer
I can consume with the best of them 😎
