- It's about time for me to do an update to my tools video. I have further refined the things I use. I have added now tools and stopped using old tools and I thought I would share where I am now. Plus a little bit of how I use some of my tools.
Thank you for your video I'm a beginner on my very first Metal Earth kit Millennium falcon.your video was helpful to me i gathered my tools as i watched your video.This metal earth looks intimidating but my brother which has done a few and your video helps me to take it slow and bend the metal with objects like dowls or anything else i have.so thank you i will watch more of your videos
Hey brother! Great video! I'm building my tool kit and found your suggestions to be right on par with fixing some of the difficulty I've had with my model builds. I agree that doing the Metal Earth kits are relaxing, and a great way to spend a few hours. Keep up the good work, and continue to post builds! Thanks again!
Really great video ! Just getting into plastic model building. Just found metal model kits. Didn't know they existed .Really interested in this. Doing research on Y.Tube. You are The Absolutely Best person on Y. Tube at giving a beginner a chance at doing this. Well done. Thanks !
Thank you. I've been doing videos on these models since 2013, so I guess I have some experience.
You are awesome and so helpful. After watching your videos I have decided that I’m going to send back my kits. Too tedious, my eyes aren’t the greatest and I am having shoulder surgery in a few weeks. The models are awesome but not for me. I am 64 years old and I have bad right rotator and my left shoulder needs to be replaced. Again I am glad I watched the videos but after seeing them I am not sure I would have the patience. Thank You
Keep on building
PS- I have the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge and the Mars River which I am going to send back
Thanks again, very very helpful

Gary Chronicle thanks for watching. I can understand your decision.
I Mentioned in another video about " Shoe Goo " since you talked about locktigh I think you might try this product . it Is a rubber cement found in the shoe section of Walmart . It is a very aggressive adhesive and has saved me from buying several models . I enjoy your videos but your first one was the AT-AT and as I remember you where not that sure about it . LOL ! your videos help me out quite a bit thank you .
That AT-AT walker was my third build, right after the Advanced Tie fighter. My first attempt at the Tie fighter failed. That seems so long ago (I just started number 147). I have learned since then, both about building these models and making videos. I have another AT-AT walker to build because I want to redo the video, but I have yet to get around to it. Thanks for watching.
Gorilla Glue - White and Original are great adhesives for these. White is a little more visible but dries much faster than original. Neither is as fast as super glue, but they adhere to the shiny metal so much better than super glue.
would you demonstrate the use of the loctite? And specifically which loctite product? I'd also love to see your entire collection of finished models... Til then I will "keep on keepin on..."
Thank you. Very useful video!
Nice selection video.. im off to the store to find some of those ... you should add some affiliate links off Amazon or where you've purchased them , just another way to get a little kickback money ....
Great video for beginners man, thanks ;)
Thanks for watching.
"There is no such think as absolutes" , is one of my favorite sayings it was nice to hear you use it, I don't hear it very often . I am planning on building the Wright Brothers Plane tonight, I don't see it in your builds have you done it yet ?
Tom Covert I have yet to acquire it, and seeing as how I grew up in North Carolina, I definitely want it.
Brad, give some thought to body piercing tapers I found at a local body piercing shop that I used on the P-51D Mustang "Sweet Arlene" model. Just my 2 cents worth of advice.
Dude you are awesome! So many helpful tips, please keep making these videos. And BTW you are SO cute!! And your voice is super sexy... I have been a model builder for over 30 years but was nervous about starting my first metal earth til I found your channel... Keep up the great work!
I love your videos!
Thank you.
Did you buy the magnifying glass set-up online? I just started/finished my first metal earth model a couple days ago and am trying to find where to buy all the needed tools.
GreyException no, but I am sure you can find one online. I picked up mine at Harbor Freight.
Thanks for video!
Can you write where have you bought step mandrels? Cant find it in store(
thanks for the subs!
Hi i was just wondering where do you get those black tweezers from and most of your other tools, thanks you are amazing with those builds
The black tweezers are Pixnor Precision tweezers from Amazon. There are about 7 tweezers in a set, I only use 3. Other tools like the pliers are from different hobby stores. I also have an array to 3d printed tools that I designed and printed myself. I sell some on my Etsy store and need to update my inventory.
Would you build and sell any if the models? I'm looking to purchase a completed Medal Earth Ferris Wheel. I've tried putting one together and broke 2 cars, ugh! Thanks!
When i building i always have music,koffie and sigarettes :)
bornfree I do that sometimes. Sometimes I am listening to my son play video games.
Hello, I would like if you can tell me where to buy the lamp with magnifying glass that you use to make the models.
I purchased mine at Harbor Freight. You can probably find similar ones on Amazon or eBay.
@@animateorange gracias
DO NOT buy the 'Metal Earth' brand 3 piece tool kit. Price equals quality and that should give you the biggest hint at what you are going to get. In my set, the nippers didn't even meet at the very end, so they were never going to achieve a clean cut. The long-nose pliers were badly forged and finished unevenly and the bullnose pliers never gripped at the very end. Instead, I use a good quality pair of plastic modelling sprue cutter nippers with a very fine point and they are perfect. For my plier selection, I use a set of Kinchrome miniature pliers. I have done over a dozen kits so far with no issues.
I am watching this video it is very helpful I have a request I am sorry to be a pain from other comments I made on other videos but do you think you can show how to do a cone shape for the batmobile thanks also do you have an Email so I can email you instead of commenting all the time thanks
