Thoughts

Happy Easter!

Lately I have been cruising YouTube for videos about modelling tips and techniques. I have found some pretty good ones and some not so good ones. I usually keep journal while building a kit so I started thinking why not do a video. There are a number of exceptional modelers out there selling videos and that is fine. I am not an awesome award winning modeler. I have a few articles under my belt. I've done a few clinics and built a few models for other folks for a fee. Over the years I have learned a few techniques from other modelers and also from instructions in kits from some of the craftsman kit manufacturers. I think it's time for some payback. Free payback. By the sounds of it the hardest thing is editing the video. I talked to Max and he sounds like he may be interested in doing that. It might involve buying some software and I have a feeling there is going to be a video camera in the future. Hopefully something under $200 for starters. Another learning curve is in the future. I don't get a lot of modelling time so the video's may take a long time to complete. I think the first one is going to be on my technique for making plastic look like wood. I have been mulling the craftsman kit building day over for a long time. But this may turn out to be a more reasonable way to share my experience with others until I can arrange that.
In the mean time try this link to ModelerManMike and check out some of his videos. I really like what I've seen so far :-)

Finished this one. Here are some pics. No sign since the location on the layout has not been determined yet. I'll also decide on the name at that point as well.
