Bench Time #49: Holiday Gift List and Guide; How Modelers can beat the Winter Blues

Welcome to the weekend our fine scale modeling freaks!  And with this weekend’s episode # 49 brings us to December and we talk about how we both loathe the cold Winter months ahead, and how to survive it through modeling and all that can be accomplished on our benches.  With Winter also brings us to the Holiday season and a time of year for many where we buy, and receive gifts and wouldn’t it be great to have a list of ideas on what to get for modeling instead of that ugly pair of socks and yet another ice scraper for your vehicle?  What are some good places to get those small stocking stuffers, items every modelers would love to have, many of which are inexpensive and things our families would never think to give.  What constitutes good directions and a few other topics are answered from Listeners questions!

We discuss storage containers for our tools and small parts for easy portability from place to place in the home or to other locations away from the bench, and the color blue and how blue is used in water to enhance it’s effect and draw the eye.  But also how blue could be a total nightmare for other modeling projects that could completely take away from viewing pleasure if you are not careful!  Brett talks briefly about his new structure project build of Wiley Waterproofing by FOS Scale Models, and Todd has now begun his latest build Cameron Street Apartments by KC’s Workshop.

There is a lot more in this episode and we mean, cram packed!  So buckle up and get to work on your bench and listen in!
