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.
