My friends, this video was struck by 3 disasters... :D 

The first one was during the photo session when the breeze knocked the wall over and all the shutters got broken. 

The second disaster happened yesterday, and it's the most frustrating one. When I went out to film the live intro and outro at the location of that old inn that sparked my inspiration for this project, my wired external microphone picked up some static from a bad connection or something. It happened in the watermill diorama when I was filming at an old railway track, so the culprit is the microphone, not the environment. Frustrated beyond recognition, I ordered a wireless microphone which arrived today and so far it's an absolute gem! I'm so disappointed with those live entries in this video that I'll go out and re-shoot them for the "official" upload on Youtube. Sadly, you're getting the best I could do with it using some noise reduction :(((( 

The final disaster was that I was up and editing until 4 AM (just like the old days!) so I could hit upload and everything would be ready today. I woke up at 11 only to find out that the upload froze at 29%.... 

So the video right now, at the time of posting, is still being processed in 4K... it'll take maybe an extra half an hour before you can enjoy it in 4K and not just in FHD :)

That's how my voice was this week with my cold, but it was still a very interesting video...

I'm definitely going to have to buy allot more putty stuff... tamiya are going to make a fortune out of me...one of the hardest things i find and i guess will only come with experience is understanding how pigments work on different base colors, ie white, grey or black, also the colour that they will eventually be when they are dry. I had the opportunity to work with an amazing artist, who over time this had become second nature, all of his colours he mixed from primary colors, never purchased a specific colour and wouldn't even think about what needed to be mixed with which colour and what quantities. Understanding your medium can only be accomplished over years of practical trial and error, the one thing this guy told me is never judge your work against others, if you can make even the smallest improvement every time you paint or create, then that's all that's fantastic.. if you make an error, don't dwell or beat yourself up on it, grow and learn from it, try not to make the same error again. Understand that people may not connect with your work in the same way that you do... after all it carry's your very essence. Martin ... in may ways you remind me of this artist.. thanks for sharing

I realized that all the audio needs to be reworked when I listened to it on my TV. I played around with equalizers for the first time, not realizing that they're affecting the whole audio track, and they messed up the studio recording as well! :(

Thank you so much! I learned how not to compare myself against other, better modelers, about ten years ago, and it probably saved me in this hobby, because at times I was getting so frustrated with my lack of progress that I was seriously starting to consider another hobby. As for the paint mixing approach, I've seen it numerous times as well! But it's hard to do when we're getting spoiled by so many amazing paints :D
