ok, ok, I forgot to post about the series going live!
Its been an interesting Christmas time, what can I say!
Anyway, the Ironman series has begun! I have completed the first 2 issues, and they are ready to be watched!
The first one is here: https://youtu.be/0kvcVho5Rw4 and the second one should follow after. Part 3 will be available just after they send it to me…..
Do let me know what you think, the kit is looking very nice so far!
I have been keeping an eye on subscriber numbers, and the dates you submitted to the competition.
Chefhawk 17:45 31/11/20
Modelmaking Mayhem: 15/12/20
David Foxx: 20:00 17/12/20

So far 2 of you are out, and it’s unlikely I will reach the milestone in time for David to win, but who will be closest?
My current prediction is that it won’t be until after the last date entered, so I am expecting Candygramformongo to be the champ. But things change…….
Soon, a new series will start…..
Yes, it seems that the Ironman build is finally coming to the UK.
I have subscribed, and should receive the first issue before Christmas!
Keep an eye on my YouTube: http://youtube.com/GrossModels for the first issue almost as soon as I get it!
It seems I have become a large enough channel for YouTube to offer me “channel Memberships”!
Either that, or they’ve started rolling them out to everyone….
It means I have another way for people to support the channel if they so wish. By going to My channel you now have the option to “JOIN” !
By doing so you get access to member only posts, r name listed in my ‘Thank you’ credits, and get a special colour and icon when you comment on my videos and livestreams. No more will your comment be lost in the herd! Stand out from the crowd! Etc…..
There are also a couple of special emoji type icons you can use in chat. I hope to add more as time goes by, but I’m not very artistic!
So, pop over to Gross Models and see about signing up from as little as 99p a month!
You are hereby requested to vote on my next build.
There are 4 kits I have on hand, take a look then go visit my Youtube page to choose which you would like me to do next!

Ok may not post often, but I’d rather not just put up stuff that nobody would read…..
But, I thought it was worth mentioning I have finally got a video done that isn’t a livestream or a partwork!
Part 7 of the Baneblade build is now up for public consumption. In it I finish the basic painting of the tank, and leave it ready for weathering.
It’s available here: https://youtu.be/ajl9yzJlKwE and the rest of the series is in the playlist.
I haven’t actually built a “proper” model for ages.
I’ve been doing the midweek makings, sort of modelmaking lite, for a while now but I haven’t felt the desire to actually do a real kit.
So, with a new Hero figure being released last weekend I thought I’d have a go.
I decided not to film the build, because filming minis is tough, and I still wasn’t sure I was in the mood. But I have documented the build in pictures.
I present : “Ripper”
I will make another post when I get around to doing the painting, hopefully in a week or 2.
Today marks 3 years since I uploaded the first video to the Gross Models YouTube channel.
I like to think that I have grown and improved over those years, with the quality of my video and production hopefully getting better and making watching easier and more fun!
I hope you’ve enjoyed at least some of my videos over the last 3 years.
Here’s to many more!
As lockdown has eased a bit and we start to return to work, I have eased up on the live-streams.
My new regular pattern is eModels on Monday, “Building stuff” on Wednesday, An Evening with on Thursday, and Warhamster every 2 weeks on Sunday (alternating with Ted)
On the Wednesday stream I will be continuing the Wooden Wednesday theme, but also doing Lego and Nano block kits. This week is the turn of Lego, and I have a little 3 in 1 dinosaur kit kindly donated by QuanoMan.
Next week is back to wood, then some more of the Nano dog the week after.
As ever, you can find my upcoming streams on the YouTube page, YouTube.com/GrossModels , but tonight’s direct link is: Here
