OP: It looks like you enjoy what you are doing, Bolt Action is an interest of mine so it is good to see more material out there.

Some suggestions on Production:
- Try to get more lighting from more than one direction.
- Your early videos had some brightness issues where the top of your forehead a bright white glow.
- Use more "yellow" lighting not the bright blue type: it looks very harsh. Your latest videos look better.
- Check sound level: Your opening music is VERY loud while your voice is quite quiet by comparison (turning down for too loud, then turning up volume to hear you.).
- I think your voice can sound better than that: could you rig up some kind of microphone? The camera one is rather tinny (is it the camera microphone?)
- Try not to wear camouflage with a camouflage background: not sure if you are trying to hide form your audience. (green behind brown works to a point).
- Some different clothes would be cool... you are probably not a fashion freak but you do not need to be in uniform.


Hobby interests:
- Getting colours for armies "right" can be hard, show some areas to look for reference and paints out there.
- Building the terrain is something of interest.
- Review of product out there is "ok" but not a big draw. Covering how it was built and some "lessons learned" would be of interest.
- When you hold a video titled "unboxing" it is understood we see the contents of the box, not the finished result (but is nice to see later). Seeing the extra bits and how small some of the bits are all of interest. Point out the easy to break bits.... anything of note to you. This is about what you bring to this model not "hey, here is a model... ta-da!".
Suggest where replacing with pinning may be needed (thin wheel axle?), some piano / guitar string for antennas. You can do this.
The burning question in my mind with some of these models: how many parts / links are the tracks made of?
- If discussing models, talk about some of the uses and rules for it. Why would I want it other than being "pretty"?
- You like this hobby enough to produce a you-tube video: show us why/how you care! What is exciting about what you are presenting, why do you care?

I see potential here, but you need to present something that is uniquely you.
Think hard about: will anyone actually USE the information you are presenting, this is not at the stage of just entertainment yet...

A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets.

Hi Talizvar, thanks for the feedback. some good points in there, ive been working on the lighting quite a bit since starting doing the channel as you can see from the progression in the videos. its a tough thing to get just right. I'm not a photographer and I'm learning what works and what doesn't. the audio I realise isn't amazing but its getting better, I am looking into getting a microphone at some point to improve the quality. Maybe ill have to look at turning the intro and outro music down a bit in the mean time to kinda balance it out a bit.
Good points about the unboxing videos, ill keep those in mind when recording the next ones.
Thanks for the feedback and anything in particular you would like to see me do on the channel?
