Welcome aboard.

Interesting video and build. :+1:

I would recommend increasing the text size a little bit and change the text color as the white text washes out in the background. I would add a timestamp so viewers could skip the review and see the build. In the video notes, I would add the plank and bamboo length. I would also add the length and width of the unfolded tarps.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the detailed feedback!

Really appreciate the suggestions — I’ll work on the text size and color in future videos, and I’ll add timestamps to make it easier to navigate. Good call.

I’ll also add the accessory dimensions to the video description. Hadn’t thought of that!

Looking forward to sharing more builds here.

Update: painting and weathering complete!

Mostly Tamiya LP acrylics for the base coats and detail work, with some oil paints for filtering and streaking. Full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N90n7tRvWRg
