The Scale Model Podcast Ep126 - Cinicy and more shows

Stuart - Between the local model show and work done in my basement requiring me to pack up the bench not much has been done.The bench has been mostly put back with an eye to try and make things more organized. Still a work in progress. Just a bit more work on the Moosaroo cup entry

Geoff - similar to Stuart, lots of real life stuff these last few weeks, but I DID get a mojo wake up call to go back to a kit I started in the 1980’s: a metal kit of a 1909 Ford Model T Tourer! Way out of my comfort zone, but that’s the point really. What triggered this was the desire to use some of the “new” (to me) paints I received last month - some nice old Metallics. In the end I didn’t use them (because 1909 Fords didn’t have metallic finishes…), but I am still plugging away on this ancient kit, and I’m enjoying it!

Terry - Working on the Moscato F-203 Dragon and the Aldrin Class by Will Barton. Both are in the stages of pinning and prepping, so a fair amount of work without a lot to show. I did pick up a Tamiya 1/48 P-47 for that XP-47H conversion which is serenading me with its siren’s song. Toshi won’t let me sleep past 530, often up in the middle of the night so I’m a little sleep deprived!

Mike - Back to 1/32nd F-18

WHAT WE ARE READING

Stuart -

To Sleep In A Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini - Great sci fi

Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention--and How to Think Deeply Again by Johann Hari

Geoff -Natural Navigator by Tristan Gooley - how to find your way around the world without a phone, map or compass!

Terry: Close to finishing the first Elric book by Michael Moorcock. My 17 year old self would have loved this. I took a break when Volume 16 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Tensura) was released, so I re-read 15 and then 16. It’s mostly wrap-up of the big invasion and stage-setting for the last major arc of the novels.
