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 :-)
