“Models For Heroes 48hr Build” Bench RStOR. All this talk of the Models 4 Heroes Birthday Bash this weekend has been effective. At first I was ambivalent about participating but after listening to James in this episode I decided I’ll build my recent 1:48 XF5F Skyrocket acquisition. And while I prefer doing the yellow wingContinue reading “On The Bench Ep158”

February 2023 Modeling Podcast Roundup
My Modeling Mews. February found fellow modeler Bob and me heading over to the Northwest Scale Modelers Show at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, WA. It was everything promised. Last I heard there were over 6000 folks attending the two days but I haven’t heard numbers for modelers displaying or models displayed. All IContinue reading “February 2023 Modeling Podcast Roundup”
January 2023 Modeling Podcast Roundup
From My Bench. Inspired by a Squidmar Miniatures Youtube video (Painting Space Wolves & Unique Snow Base) I set about starting a base for Friedrich (though not quite finished). This involved creating a depression in the wood base, buying a Blue Angels model kit and cutting it up before embedding it in epoxy to createContinue reading “January 2023 Modeling Podcast Roundup”
On The Bench Ep155
Hello 2023! 2023, In with the new! I started off the year by finishing Friedrich. Well, maybe not completely but to near completion. I ran into a problem (an errant glue mark) that required a bit of clear part polishing and a wee bit of repainting on the front panel. Decals were applied and FriedrichContinue reading “On The Bench Ep155”
On The Bench Ep152
“Catching Up” News from the litter box. Mahila and Friedrich got a bit more lashings this evening but I swear, it seems like I take one step forward, only to be two steps back. I tried adding a gentle wash of reddish/purple around the faces but in the end it looked like both were sufferingContinue reading “On The Bench Ep152”
Podcast Roundup 11/13/2022
Pew, pew, pew, pew! Well, it looks like another week has flown by and life has conspired to cram more podcasts into it while piling on additional outside activities. As I sit here at the computer there are Old English Christmas Carols playing in the background. Why? Because for the next few weeks I haveContinue reading “Podcast Roundup 11/13/2022”
Podcast Roundup 10/31/2022
One Fish, Two Fish, Creepy Fish, … Halloween Spider? My bench this past weekend was at a remote location that involved looking after a few fish. I took the Me-323 and a few Necrons that I wanted to paint but ended up listening to podcasts instead. Needless to say, my actual modeling plans came toContinue reading “Podcast Roundup 10/31/2022”
On The Bench Ep149
“Interview with Chris Meddings” Moscow Modeling Mojo. I know that Friedrich and the Ultra Marines (sounds like a ’60s band, eh?) are on the bench but the Gigant is just begging to be built. I’m not sure how much longer I can resist 😉 Of course, there’s also the new P-51 B/C that recently arrivedContinue reading “On The Bench Ep149”

Fast, Faster and Showing Off the Good Stuff! My Model Bench. The IPMS Palouse Area Modelers show was a week ago (Oct 1st) and with that over I can get Friedrich back on the bench. The show was great with close to 150 models on the tables. Attendance was good and the door prizes andContinue reading “Podcast Roundup 10/9/2022”

All Your Podcasts are Mine! Seattle, WA “Museum of Flight” Road Trip. Sometimes it’s better to let things slide when something really important comes up – and in this case, reviewing podcasts took a back seat to a trip over to the west side! Back in late September a couple of the guys from myContinue reading “Podcast Roundup 10/6/2022”
