- I attempt to answer some questions by showing in detail how I paint a Top Gun themed display base. This is for sale on ebay, here's the link to my auction:

The Indiana Jones figure was purchased from ny3dcreations.com or you can check out their ebay seller page ny3dcreations. - Jak na to + styl
I know this is an oldish video now, but its so useful. Tutorials that are easy to watch and listen too ( it feels like I'm sitting next to you having a lesson!)....awesome work....
Wow I didn't realize you actually painted those! Great job.
Only your third? C'mon! I've built 36 P-47's. Catch up! If you like F-14's you like F-14's! HA! You should build a wrinkled up Ryan, mount it on some green felt {Golf Course} and put it next to Harrison Ford.WHAT?! TOO EARLY? Sounds like Ringo wants to play. Tamiya white can do the same, I'm glad to see it happens to the best of us also. Base came out great! On to the next model building adventure
Great Job ! You certainly are an artist.
I have a lot of admiration for the beautiful models he makes. I wonder what caused her to always represent them in flight and never on static display on trolleys. A warm greeting. I will continue to follow her in her extraordinary achievements. Congratulations for the sympathy and enthusiasm with which he presents himself to the you tube audience
Glad to see you back
An impressive job. You have uncommon the ability to make simple what is difficult
More brilliance straight out of Primedmodelworks Headquarters! I'm still not convinced you "learned this from another airbrush artist video." I think you have the natural artistic ability to pull off just about anything on your own. Whether it be from formal education, an art class on the side or inherited from a family member who had the same talents, doesn't matter! Your just extremely good at what you do and you make it look so easy! Plus you put together a super enjoyable video format narrated to perfection that leaves me thirsty for more every time! Cant wait to for the next project! One request, put Ringo in the next vid so we can see how big he is now! Cheers mate!
I was gonna put Ringo in at the beginning but he was being camera shy...plus he’s as big as a cow! I’ll try to get him in on the next one. Thanks for the kind words my friend.
In Japan I am looking forward to your video. Thank you!
Great job, thank you for taking the time to show us how you accomplish your bases!
You are definitely a very good artist with the airbrush. I am also very impressed with your figure painting, you've realy captured the look. I seem to get away with smaller scale figures at 1/35 but not the bigger stuff
Really great paintwork and fun to see how it all comes together at the end. A sum of all the good parts you added.
Very creative with a touch of talent...........old Tom Cruise would be proud!
Thank you for the morning coffee. Always a happy morning when I have seen that you have posted something. Always awesome 👌
"Sometimes I like my dog better than my kids". Lol, we've all been there...dogs tend to do what you ask them to do and don't answer back! I love my kids dearly as I'm sure you do, but now mine have kids of their own, they appreciate the uncomplicated relationships they have with their own dogs! :-)
And that's another great base by the way. You've inspired me to have a go at doing one myself...
Very cool doll!
You are so incredibly talented!!!
Great looking base. One suggestion would be to keep your light source in mind when doing the rivets, and use the same light source that you did for the panel lines, but that's nitpicking.
Thanks my friend...it’s funny you mention the light source on the rivets because I realized that this morning when I was looking at it.
You are quite the secret ARtist . Great work Sean .
I have a lot of admiration for the beautiful models he makes. I wonder what caused her to always represent them in flight and never on static display on trolleys. A warm greeting. I will continue to follow her in her extraordinary achievements. Congratulations for the sympathy and enthusiasm with which he presents himself to the you tube audience.
Beautiful channel!!
I'm really impressed with your bases (this is the second video I've seen you do on bases). It really adds an extra dimension to the completed model. And the techniques are really pretty simple, but provide great results. Peace and love.
Pretty good.
As always, a pleasure to watch, do some figure stuff 😁👌
Love to see a Master Craftsman Craftsmanship
Great stuff. I have to do a 1:32 scale F14 for a mate and I will do this as a base. Thanks !
Bin immer wieder begeistert...Absolut sehenswert..
More amazing paint work brother! I definitely need to get my hands on one of those Cricuts. Your bases are awesome! 😎👍👍
hello, that's really great cinema what you're showing here. I think it's great how you set your models in scene. I would be interested to know how big your display plates are on average? Greetings Licki
Great job👍
Questionnaires: how do you bend the plexiglas tubes?.
Keep up the good jobs😀
Thanks Frederic, I use a heat gun to soften it. Here’s a video where I demonstrate it.

How are you liking your new little tank compressor? I’m getting ready to get one. Was it the “Zeny” from Amazon? Think it will be just fine for me.
Works great, however I’ve only been using it as a second compressor to my bigger one. Which means I really only use it when I spray on video because it’s quieter.
That is incredible work! I definitely learned a lot from this video and your others. If you don’t mind me asking, what type of base/pedestal are you attaching the F-14?
Just a simple wooden plaque with acrylic rods
Looks fantastic Sean! I'm still trying to source those bases for my own builds - got any ideas? Oh and I have an F-14 or three on the way too! Cheers, Chris
Thanks Chris. This base was just some pine I picked up at the lumber yard that my dad cut into shape and routed the edges. Here in the US, Michael’s craft store also has a wide variety of wood bases as well. If you haven’t built the Tamiya f-14 before, you’re in for a real treat...although closing up the gear bays for in-flight display is pretty tricky. If you need any suggestions when you get to that point, I’d be happy to explain what I found works best. My email is seanerk@hotmail.com
Thanks Sean - yeah I've built the -A version last year, did it wheels up as the VX-4 all black Playboy version. Found the wheel bays relatively easy to closeup, I found building the nosewheel doors trickiest until I worked out you make it all one door, then glue it in! I'll do the same for my -D. Building 2 Academy 1/72 new tool Tomcats at the moment, very nice kits.
Thanks for the tips on the base!
Glad to see your channel doing so well mate - hope you and your family are safe as well. Cheers Chris
It took me three kits before I figured out making the front bay doors into one was the way to go lol. I appreciate the kind words, watching your channel was a big inspiration to my model building. Cheers to you and yours as well my friend.
👍👍👍
I found the cricit on amazon, looks like you are using a clear sticker tape, but what is the yellow material?
It’s Tamiya sticker sheet. It’s like Tamiya tape but in a sheet. It’s what I find works best and you can get it on Amazon. Here’s a video that might help

"probably". So you're saying there's a chance! I think even the raised look if you left the tape on, would have looked nice too! Perhaps cut some thin styrene sheets on that machine and use double sided tape to make it stick.
Lol...nice Dumb n Dumber reference. That’s a cool idea, I might try that on another project.
What is a Cricut and where can I find one???
What is your ebay account?
