The Wheel of Accidental Wisdom w/Model Airplane Maker: Episode 124

Plastic Model Mojo

Join us for an exciting and jam-packed episode of Plastic Model Mojo as we welcome back Chris Wallace from Model Airplane Maker! Chris brings us up to speed on his progress transforming his new basement into Model Studio 2.0. We’ll talk about the challenges and rewards of setting up a dedicated workspace, and share some laughs as we recount how Chris, recovering from a cold, sticks to hot tea while Mike savors Cooper's Craft Barrel Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Ever wondered if high-quality modeling tools are worth the investment? This episode's for you. We dive into the nitty-gritty of modeling techniques and supplies, featuring insights on Future Thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner and the pitfalls of VMS satin varnish. We also discuss some clever storage tips from Dr. Paul Budzik and Warren Dickinson, and explore the benefits of high-magnification reader glasses over traditional visors. Plus, get ready for a sneak peek at upcoming modeling shows and the latest model kit releases.
From nostalgic trips down memory lane with iconic box art of the 70s and 80s to thoughtful discussions on the impact of current judging criteria on modeling contests, this episode has it all. We share humorous anecdotes about early modeling club days, chat about the potential revival of Vietnam War-era models, and reveal our social plans for upcoming shows. Whether you’re a seasoned modeler or just getting started, we’ve got tips, tricks, and stories that will keep your modeling mojo alive and kicking. Don't miss our latest model kit purchases and updates on our exciting secret project that's nearing the end of its first phase!
