Scale Model Generalist, with Paul Gloster: Episode 115
Ever wondered how to take your scale modeling skills to the next level, or perhaps you're simply seeking inspiration to dust off that old kit on the shelf? Our latest episode is a treasure trove of modeling wisdom, from the vibrant energy of model shows like Wonderfest and Nationals to the heart and soul poured into every miniature masterpiece. We're not just talking about techniques; we're sharing laughs, personal stories, and the camaraderie that makes this community truly special. So grab your favorite modeling fluid, and join us for an adventure that will reignite your passion for the craft.
This time around, it's all about pushing boundaries and mixing things up! We'll tackle everything from tanks to midget subs, learning that a step outside my comfort zone can lead to a whole new set of skills. We chat with our friend, Paul Gloster from Australia, about the joys and challenges of model building and explore how different genres can enhance one's craft. Our listeners chime in too, offering their own unique insights and questions, proving that every modeler's journey is a story worth sharing.
Finally, we dive into the nitty-gritty of techniques that will elevate your models to new heights. The expertise shared in our community is vast, from tackling decal silvering to mastering the gloss on a mini Ferrari. Whether you're a veteran modeler or someone who's just starting, this episode is packed with encouragement and the shared wisdom of fellow enthusiasts. Connect with us, share your own tales, and let's keep the modeling mojo alive together!

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - CF-15 is almost done, just waiting until club night to pick up some 3d printed nozzles from a fellow club member.
Time to start thinking about what’s next. So many choices… The one-year challenge build of the Tamiya 1/350 Yamato needs some thought….
[foogallery id="3707"]
Geoff - I started (and finished!) the Horizon Models 1/72 Atlas Agena this week, and posted pics and comments on the show Facebook page. I received the white and black shuttle tile decal sets for the 1/144 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft project from Lake County Spaceport. Excellent quality and service! Just received the 747 decals from Drawdecal in Florida - they look very good! Also awaiting decals for the Martin Mars water bomber from Above and Below Decals - also in shipping purgatory.
[foogallery id="3705"]
Terry - Some progress on both the Regult and XP-47H. Also building some other items, getting things ready for painting, like a pair of Star Blazers Dreadnaughts I picked up at last Wonderfest.
