How to Fail at Modelling

MTM: Nick Masney of ITLA Scale Models
Last week we talked to the founder of ITLA. This week we have the new owner of the company and also an advertising partner here at MRH.
Nick has been releasing new kits, also in the theme of the big city. And if anyone out there reading this, knows how to paint yellow brick realistically, please let me know. Because these kits straight out the the laser look to only need an application of clear coat to look like a very realistic yellow brick. And I hate the idea of leaving a kit unpainted, loath it.... The pet peeve of a custom painter
Thanks for watching
Don't you just hate it!?????

Christmas Diorama Progress

After "snow gooping" the next step is to do the fascia and use some foamcore to support the town buildings, create sidewalks, and define streets. I also used it to raise the town park area.

Control the World with Arduino
I've been posting a lot of analog circuits lately, and while these are primarily chosen because of the concepts involved rather than the actual result, there is always an underlying question-- "would this be easier as an Arduino project?"
