    YouTube recommendations

    I thought a thread, with suggestions of YouTube videos worth watching, already existed but I can't find it. If such a thread does exist then a link to it would be appreciated.
    There are so many YT videos on modelling that it is difficult to sort the good from the bad. Some are helpful and well done but many are poor. I would really appreciate a pointer to any that you have found worth watching.
    Thanks

    My go-to’s for the majority of modelling interests are:
    Nightshift - https://youtube.com/@NightShiftScaleModels (armour and dioramas)
    Shane Smyth - https://youtube.com/@longlance67 (painting technique)
    And a certain Steve Jones - https://youtube.com/@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite (scratch building)

        Great for bike building, though not in English - https://www.youtube.com/@scalemodeler

          The technique videos (hobby cheating range) by Vince Ventruella are worth looking at for figure painters. An example here, but there are a great many….

              Nightshift does some great videos, what's nice is the touch of humour he puts in.Think Andrew has seen him as well .

                I'm a junkie for miniature painting YouTubers - there are lots out there, and they all have their own style and approach, as there's no one 'right way' to paint a figure.

                Favourites include the aforementioned (and phenomenally hardworking) Vince Venturella, Miniac, Ninjon, 52 Miniatures, MarcoFrisoniNJM, and Zumikito (great if you're in a hurry!).

                Boylei Hobby Time is great for creative dioramas, including clever use of LEDs.

                  Great idea for a thread Jim :smiling4:

                  These are some of my favourites:


                  More recent release builds/reviews, mainly aircraft but some other genres included.


                  Similar to the previously mentioned channel but with a bit more scratch building/AM additions.


                  Mainly reviews, mostly older classic models and waffle which I find amusing.

                  Geoff.

                      i always liked scalemodelmedics videos..............he did the ones for humbrol a few years back
                      unfortunatly since the arrival of a young family (he should have spent more time at the bench during the lockdowns lol) his channel has come to a halt

                      Per Ardua

                      We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been
