Follow the Instructions: Episode 113
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.

Hey guys,
Listening to the last episode I feel obligated to let you know about Paint Rack. I first heard about it on OTB episode 174 when the boys down under interviewed the designer. It’s a great way to keep track of your paint. You can scan your bottles and the search function works really well too. It has a good set of colour tools. No more buying paint you already have.

Keep up the great work.

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Finished the Dune Ornithopters, Great little kits. I am also working on painting the bases for the USS Dallas and Typhoon class 1/700 subs. Other projects include painting mini’s both Battletech and some fantasy clerics. It’s nice to have a break from more complex kits; these projects have been doing that for me. Now to decide what I’m going to do next……
Anthony - 1/72 UN Spacey Legioss, Finished a No-paint HG RX-78, the Gundam Hazel, and a few more Shelf/Box Queen projects in the works!
[foogallery id="3640"]
Terry -
Masks off, next up decals! Those fuselage cooler doors mean insignia needs to be cut up a bit, fortunately, I have an abundance of those insignia.
Blue was a primer coat of AV Wolf Grey (Maybe my most-used color) followed by Tamiya blue - I added some flat base to help with opacity, but wow it was too much. I'll never learn with Tamiya flat. Followed by Tamiya gloss blue, so it's like 5 coats of thinned paint. I think a second coat of gloss over that will be needed, and will help with the markings too. I have a set of P-47 stencils, and I'll use them on this project since I want it to be a production aircraft. I also have an idea for the shark mouth.
I see a couple of things I should address, but won't.

Topic
Changes in modelling over the years and the impact social media has had on styles, techniques and even subject matter - the rise of non-historic subjects (eg: film and TV models, sci fi, anime, etc.) and what the future holds.
My guess - WW1 and 2 subjects become more niche as truly historical in nature and entertainment subjects increase as modellers age out.
***************************************
WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - CF21 is complete. Working on some battle mechs as as well as the first of two Ornithopters from the latest Dune movie. Meng made a kit similar in quality to the Bandai micro Star Wars kits. The first one I built in a landed configuration. I should have added nose weight to it, but it’s going on a base so I can glue it down. I think the scale is around 1/200
[foogallery id="3618"]
Geoff - finishing off the Zeppelin vs Pterodactyls project, which has been fast and fun. I also put two articles together for IPMS Canada - on the Zeppelin project and my 1/32 Revell Lysander target tug. Now I’m back at the Moebius 1/144 Discovery from 2001 which is the subject of another long delayed article. My guilt at the delay finally forced me to get at it!
[foogallery id="3611"]
Terry - Moving along with the XP-47H. Looking good under some paint, so I am cautiously optimistic. The Haseagawa Regult is looking good under some paint as well.
[foogallery id="3623"]
***************************************
WHAT WE ARE READING
Geoff - Finished Bravo Three Zero by Des Powell - a good book about SAS operations in Desert Storm.
Stuart - The Year Without Summer:1816 and the Volcano That Darkened the World and Changed History
Terry - Finished Handmade. Very interesting, and more about how she interacts with the materials while making all these items, it’s a very personal book. Still reading the same other books as before, but deciding what to dive into next.
