discussion YouTube recommendations

[Jim R]

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)

I’ve always heard this Guy is a little shady lol.
Thanks Jim for the heads up on YouTube channel’s.

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….

If you like building cars or even if you dont this guy does some amazing stuff well worth a watch

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.

https://youtube.com/@GregsModels
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.
