I finally built my new Model Studio!

Can a $3 paint panel be made into an attractive model base?

A nice model base frames and provides context for your model. A great start can be had for as little as three dollars and some inexpensive supplies! This was a fun project and I took a risk with static grass to kick it up a notch. In a previous video, I used a LONGER RAY5 laser to make the information 'plate' on this base. Very easy to do.

Is the Magic Factory Corsair better than Tamiya? Let's compare and find out!

I've been asking for a new 48th scale Corsair for years. Don't get me wrong, the Tamiya kit is excellent, but it has a few build issues and could use a refresh.

How contests will improve your models and your hobby enjoyment.

Most modelers will never enter contests or go to shows. But they are missing out. The show is a great place to get tips, get ideas and maybe a cheap kit or two. Most importantly, these are places where like minded people congregate - so take advantage! You won't regret it. Hesitating on entering the contest? Yeah, I get it.

      I share this sentiment. Amazon has a scale v8 engine that actually runs with gasoline (for RC cars) and its 80 bucks, and 160 if you want to add a supercharger. 400 bucks for an electric turning one is a little wild.

Oh yeah, as you Glue parts together do so in Small sections and make sure you get a Good Glue Bead that comes out of the seam in the first place….

    I reside in a nursing facility. I'm 72, and it's great for me. Zero responsibilies and the have a hobby/activities room that spacious for the build. I had just purchased a Revell 1/48 scale Corsair with a set of paints and brushes. I left them unattended (and uncovered) for a couple of hours and I came back and boom, they were GONE! Someone apparently wanted them and unless they were going to build it, I don't know what for. Oh well, lesson learned I guess.

It will be my first airplane assembly in over 50 years, as I just turned 72. This means I also need paints and an assembly tools, as well as as a "self healing" cutting board, which they didn't have back in the '60's. My next build will be the AMT 1966 version of the Batmobile, which I understand was a highly customized Lincoln car. Wish me luck!
