Follow the Instructions: Episode 113

Plastic Model Mojo

Ever wonder how a modeler's passion stays ignited through every meticulous build? Grab your favorite modeling fluid and join Mike and Kentucky Dave as they traverse the ins and outs of keeping our scale-modeling fires burning. From the details on new P38 book from Detail and Scale to the fascinating finds at HeritageCon, we cover it all. And while we're sharing a toast to our recent endeavors with a delightful black cherry hard cider and a smooth Bulleit bourbon, we'll delve into the importance of crystal-clear model instructions – a heartfelt shout-out to Flyhawk's BT-7 kit for leading by example.
Scale modeling isn't just about the kits; it's about the journey and the community. In this episode, we'll get caught up with our Canadian friend Ian MacAulay at HeritageCon, where we're also joined by the insightful John Chung, who reveals the transformative experience of shifting from space shuttle builds to mastering the F-16. We'll reminisce about the camaraderie at HeritageCon, touch upon the trials of complex armor kit assembly, and ponder over the reflective moments post-completion. Our benchtop adventures are a testament to the joys and lessons learned from each project – something every modeler can resonate with.
To cap it off, we'll share the latest from our benchtops: the completion of a Trumpeter LCM3 kit and the anticipation of fresh enhancements to the SAM model, all thanks to nifty CAD work. We're not just about the models, though; we're also about creative solutions and inspirations, like transforming an imperfect kit into a glossy die-cast toy replica. So, whether you're a seasoned builder or new to the craft, this episode is brimming with the kind of shared wisdom, expertise, and unexpected joys that can only come from true devotees of the hobby.
