MMSI and Oil Paint Weathering with Steve Hustad: Episode 127

Embrace the fall season with us as we tackle an eclectic
mix of yard work and scale modeling joys. We reflect on the
bittersweet nature of shorter days, and Mike shares the struggle
of juggling responsibilities at Space Tango, home, and the joy of
Halloween festivities. We also pay tribute to BJ DeBecker from
Panzer Concepts, honoring his profound impact on the modeling
world. In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of scale
modeling, from intricate oil painting techniques to the
camaraderie that binds our community together.

The scale modeling community is thriving with creativity
and collaboration as we highlight Craig Everson's impressive
Tiger I diorama and Dave Waples's exciting updates on SBD
Dauntless engines. The anticipation for Brandon Lowe's upcoming
B-24 decal set, "Double Trouble," is palpable, and the generosity
of Stephen Lee shines through as he helps fellow modelers access
rare Pricer figure sets. Our shared love for modeling doesn't
stop there. We engage in spirited discussions on the importance
of societies like IPMS and AMPS, capture the spirit of model
shows, and reflect on the artistry displayed at events like the
MMSI show in Schaumburg.

Grab your brushes and paints as we explore the world of
oil painting techniques for weathering model aircraft with Steve
Hustad. Discover the joy and challenges of using oils to create
lifelike details, and learn the secrets behind realistic exhaust
stains and propeller finishes. We also dive into the nuances of
airbrushing, detailing, and decal application, while sharing
updates from our workbenches. From nostalgic journeys through
model kit history to embracing the latest products, our
conversation is a testament to the endless passion and
experimentation that define our beloved hobby. Join us as we
celebrate the artistry, community, and dedication fueling the
modeling world.
