General and advanced detailing techniques

[blunc]

The "A4 Garage" has been mentioned a few times previously in the MCM forums so this will not be new to some of the members, for those that want to stretch their skills that aren't familiar with A4 Garage, check out the videos.

I have watched a few of them and noted that, with patience, practice and desire (and maybe some new tools) most of the building techniques are achievable by most of the builders here. Seeing them demonstrated gives us a head start on figuring out how and where to apply various skills.

Note that the videos are not narrated but notes have been added that clarify materials used.

The first link is to the A4 Garage channel on Youtube, the next link is the first of a set of videos that covers tools used. Click the "Watch on Youtube" box to see other video selections.

I watch A4 all the time, and always look forward to a new video. I also recommend checking out Kenji’s Plastic Models channel. Easy Modelers Room and Kota Scale Models for motorcycle models. I’m always amazed at the level of detail that can be achieved on a model car.

Back in my youth of building models, I always wanted to build them to look as good as the model on the box but never got the results I hoped for. Probably a lack of skills and I always got in too big of a hurry.

When I decided to get back into the hobby this was my goal, as good as the box art. Then I found the forum here and also started seeing some YouTube builders and the fantastic models being built to a level I’d never seen before that now I’m inspired to go to that next level and try to learn some new skills.

I've watch a handful of A4's videos that Mike posted.  While very informational on how to use a variety of tools and so forth...THIS GUY HAS SOME MAD SKILLS!!!!
