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.
