Hi Guys, A very short video about what I did in 2022, not much, hence the shortness of the video, but I must have some obsessive compulsive disorder because I can't bring myself to not upload anyway given that it's become a tradition, no matter how slack I have been all year!!!

Hey is everything good in your neck of the world.????
When I was a kid, this tank cost only $3. You can still buy them for $5.00. That's how much it takes to get kids to appreciate the beauty of models!
Good morning, what color did you use for the primer? And what color did you use for the pants?
What great job and great taste in the music added
Very nice set up. My hobby room is set up just about the same as yours
I think Kellys heroes the tank thats guarding the bank
Awesome mate! My grandfather served in the 17th Galah Para Division WW2, they were dropped in by hybrid galahs into Crete, each bird could carry four men. By the way, disappointing to see you dismembered those old Timpo figures, I’ve got heaps of them sitting out in the shed, forts, wagons ect I always loved the Mexican and the Apache figure’s! Also, when is your jazz record coming out? That background music is lovely 👍👍love ya mate 🤪🇦🇺🤪👍🍺🤘🍺🤘
I've read about the Flying 17th, nicknamed The Pandemonium's I believe. I was sad chopping up the Timpo figure, I also used to have a huge collection but over the years they have disappeared, 7th Cav were my favourites 👍
Very interesting 👍
Thanks for the visit
Was just about to hit the thumbs up for a great video but already had! Can’t remember viewing it at all! Must have been on the longnecks that night, well I do live in Darwin 👍🤡👍, love ya mate, keep up the great work 👍🇦🇺👍
Looking great mate! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
You made a decent job of what looks like a not especially good kit, but if he's supposed to be a Spartiate, where is his long hair? He's just rocking a mullet there! 😅
👍👊 Painting figures is really hard.
Well done, son! 👍👊
What brand is you small electric drill?
U.N. ruled years ago that since Ukraine didn't have any established borders then they were not an independent country but part of Russia. And the Russian government was given license to hunt Nazis by the U.N. since about 47 or 48
You need better music. Some nice classical or piano music, maybe some jazz. Otherwise good job on the build. Nice work.
Interesting techniques, thanks
Just finished the Cycle and Gun. I was concerned about how I would weather an all German Grey subject. I got some great insights from you Bro. Thanks for posting the video. ✊🏾
Amazing man 🤩
Good idea for the reins! I used black electrical tape.
Working on it now
I hope you enjoy the build, some issues but all can be overcome 👍
Mate I’m sold👍🇦🇺👍just ordered 14 of them 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺
‘ You have let every modeller down in the world. I think you should release a director’s cut of this video showing the whole construction of the hull in a four part 12 hour series. Bloody Queenslanders. CUinNT 🤡🇦🇺🤡
Do they have a Darwin English instruction sheet available ? I speak a bit of Chinese Darwin but not that good in the jap b got my head around the jap
Wow!, I must have swiped left and ended up listening to this bloody Queenslander from 7 years ago?!? I feel like Marty McFlye . Love your tutorials brother, I have learnt some great tips👍CUinNT👍🇦🇺👍
LOL, thanks for the feedback brother, just taking exception to being called a Cain Toad, I am a Mexican! 😆
Hi Glen...where do you buy your foam sheets ?
Hey Denno, that's just insulation foam from Bunnings, if you're not in Aus, Bussings is just a warehouse building supplies/hardware store, you should be able to find anywhere like that mate.
verry fine Job !
I thought German leather was black
About the road wheels: You glued he part containing the polycap the wrong way around, the polycap should be totally enclosed within the wheel.
Un errore, il cavallo bianco lo avevano solo i trombettieri nei corazieri
Thank you. My instructions didn't mention those pins. Confused me till I watched your video.
Glad I could help!
If nothing else, you’ve featured the Channel Islands in your video, in particular Jersey, the island on which I live. Cool.👍😎
Unless it is one that was shipped to a different country
Our’s definitely didn’t look like that during the war
Why all of the blue spots?
That's the official camo patterning for Halidonian armour 👍
hi would the movie be white tiger by any chance
Final scene in Saving Private Ryan 👍
Hello sir, the white horses and greys they were all reserved for the trumpets. It was a means of locating them in the melee of battle. greetings.
Nice video. i would prefer it though if it was explained what colours and washes you use.
I always thought in the movie that they made the Tiger too dark for Normandy. It almost looked like a gray paint. Seems in old movies that they always made any German vehicle gray no matter what. When in fact most had a prominent dark yellow base with the green and brown camouflage over it.
True, I suspect that if you are not really into the history grey is the assumed default 😋
Awesome. I’ve just bought this kit and was looking for inspiration paint/diorama wise. I have found it. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the build it is a great kit for sure 👍
Well I am an Australian from English parents and mate you need to stop listening to mainstream media propaganda and learn the facts what's really going. We can blame is The American deep state and their NATO lap dogs for what's happening in Ukraine nearly500000 Ukrainian killed with the blood on Joe biden's hands
Hey Glenn great to see you back - strange about the notifications. Looking really good, lovely job, regards Liam
Thanks for the shout Glen , yes no notifications from you but then again i had unsubed 🤣🤣🤣 no to be honest i think its happening to a few people again . Your question was answered bellow but yes light cavalry were often used for carrying dispatches . Look after yourself marra . Regards Gav.
I started this today. I have the same problem with the old peepers. different continents, same problems with the kids🤣 I hope I can replicate your build thanks for sharing.
Nice. Personally I would have went lighter on the trousers and a little more gray on the tunic. But I love it.
I totally forgot: I came to this video because I saw your comment you left for Thomas' latest vid (isn't he a crazy SOB? To build such a gorgeous pool like that out of nothing?) - which made me realize that I wasn't notified about your video - but I'm subscribed with all the bells and whistles, so that shouldn't have happened. Anything wrong at your end?
Thomas is a genius, one of my favourite creators by far, just such great great execution and story telling, he's a gun! I'm not sure what's happened with notifications, perhaps because its been so long between posts they have dropped off, but this video has only had about 10% of the normal views that one would typically get. 😭
G'day Glen, nice to see you're still there 🙂And nice figures - but why such a small scale? I mean I struggle to see everything in 1/35, and as you mentioned many times, your vision ain't 20/20 anymore either. And what are you going to do with them? Put them in a diorama like Rorke's Drift? Greetings, Mike
