My First Building - N Scale Walthers Northern Light And Power
It lights up! Amalgamated Switch Suppliers! Huehuehue. It’s the first structure I’ve completed AND painted for my model railway. “It only has two walls, Herbert” I hear you say… Yes… It will hide the switches in the corner of my layout. Hence the name.
It was mostly a Walthers Northern Light and power in N scale. I forget where I got the roof vents, but they make it look a lot nicer.
I will probably build another one of this kit. Possibly expanded with the left overs from this one.
I’m not sure the mortar technique I used was the best here at least for N scale… but it was fun, though a bit messy to try anyway.
I’m also really happy with the Woodland Scenics Just Plug Lights. Fun times.

Sink or Schwimmwagen? - Italeri 35th Scale

This video asks, and then answers the big, important questions about the Italeri type 166 Schwimmwagen kit in 35th scale. That being "will it float?" I know it's on everybody's mind when they peruse kits like this. I'm glad I can use my scientific skills to help ease people's minds. It's also a pretty good model for its age. It's a pretty old tooling. Looking for hobby tools? Check out ninestep...

    9:22 For those wondering, the Coax MG tab attaches to a small notch on the bottom left side of the main gun. The magazine part goes through the large hole. Don't force it. There was a small circle protruding out the bottom of the magazine for mine that i cut off. If it's too snug, use a diamond file on the bottom of the magazine till it's not too hard to put in and out for dry placing.

    In reference to Erp's comment on not wanting to go into battle in one of these tanks, who wants to fight in a war. In the mean time the vehicle itself held its own against the armour arrayed against it. It suffered most casualties from the desert and the inability of the support teams to keep up with the advance.

    You actually canmake it convertible without magnetizing, its a very nice kit and things just snap in, 1. Just glue the floor of the Hull of the sexton super structure and the the gun to the super structure. 2. Glue the front Ram/Kangaroo "transmission" piece to the front (sextons can use either one) 3. Put the super structure on top of the hull place and snap it into the front piece 4. Now snap in the sextons back piece and done. It can take a fair amount of pressure/moving around without coming apart 4. When assmebling the ram's turret, glue the round bottom plate to the peg protruding from the turret instead of the hull 5. When you want to switch to a ram, pull the back plate out first, and just do what you did with the sexton

  • @Andreas.Pfisterer

    The S-shaped parts are hooks that are used, for example, when towing with heavy chains. The small box at the rear is the smoke system of the Pz III series. There were 5 or 6 smoke grenades stored there, which were triggered individually from the inside via a cable pull. These fell to the ground and filled the area around the vehicle with smoke. In principle, these were smoke grenades (hand grenades).

    As somebody have written this bar at rear is to lower and rise propeller for swimming. This two caps on top front are caps for fuel tanks and this butt empire is probably the worst part of the kit. Schwimmwagen had two seats similar to those in front with quit huge air intake for radiator between them. Nevertheless since I've made one of them I need to say it's fun kit to glue and I'm really happy that it swims

  • @markfergerson2145
    @markfergerson2145 21 день тому

    Being lazy, I did not pause the video to make a prediction. I did think about it though. Before seeing that the tub was two pieces I figured that it should float depending on whether there were any holes in the tub for the running gear and whatnot, and whether those holes sealed well enough when those parts were added. After seeing that the hull was two pieces, I figured it would come down to how well they fit together plus the skill and attention to detail of the builder. Evidently the hull pieces and running gear did seal well enough in your hands. My mileage might vary. Knowing that it is possible, the model would be suitable for a diorama showing it in water and under power. Getting it to stay immersed while the resin is poured and setting might be a challenge though. There are lots of historical military vehicles intended to be used in water. The DUKW immediately comes to mind along with various tanks equipped with “wading” accessories. The latter weren’t intended to float exactly though a styrene or resin model should at least end up liquid-tight. I can’t recall whether you have posted a video of you building a DUKW. If you haven’t it will be the ideal next kit in this series.

    • @HerbertErpaderp
      @HerbertErpaderp 21 день тому

      I think even if the two halves of the hull didn't totally seal the surface tension of the water might be enough to keep it out. Only because the model is so light. I've never used the kind of resin for water, but now I also wonder if it would stay put in such a case. A DUKW is something I've not done, but has been on my mental list for a while now. I'm not sure if they're what you mean by tanks with wading accessories, but Sherman DD and Valentine DDs would be good will it float candidates with their canvas float things.

    Looks to be a nice little kit that I need to have in the stash. As for the tool on the rear end, I believe that it was used to raise and lower the propeller when entering and leaving the water. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's it's job. Great vid and I look forward to the next one, thanks my friend.... Oh, and it'll float .... Or not.... I dunno...

I have mentioned that I just don’t watch livestreams so I’m also hoping that you didn’t think I didn’t like you any more. I definitely like your dedicated build videos, “wheely good” jokes and all. That’s either cringe-level lame or your catchphrase. I prefer to think it’s the latter. I also mentioned that I appreciated your trips to film local military monuments at parks and whatnot, and you said that your health was making that difficult for you, and they weren’t getting a lot of views, but that says more about your audience than anything else. I realize that you have to play to your audience in order to get views and monetization and all that. Which of your videos get the best response? Your game playthroughs seemed to do well though you haven’t done many of those lately either. I’m also guessing that all of the back end work like editing is exhausting. Anyway, here’s hoping things pick up for you including self motivation and lots of views.

I also almost forgot the "roobar" ;-) The big size red cross decal for the roof needs some care when applying it over the 2 roof vents, to avoid some rumples ... decal softener to the rescue.
