First, we saw the FSM detail line sold. Now we see Bob Van Gelder selling his line. So these amazing detail parts are still available, in fact, we might get a more relaxed ability to buy parts.

I had the opportunity to participate on the WTNW show this week. I want to thank Ken, Danil Mike and Dirk for having me on.

We often get podcasts jump in and out of the hobby. Like the original Scotty Mason show I loved it, I still listen to it regularly as I have archived all the casts.

Recently I connected with these guys and have been listening ever since. It is a great podcast about modeling, not modeling plans, or fancy stories. Real modeling with thoughts on techniques and participating in the hobby they love.

I just received this kit.

Now after years of making unboxing videos and never releasing them, I am finally releasing my first. Now I do not have an affiliation with Showcase, I am friends with the co-designer of this kit Jason Jenson. This guy is set to become the next Selios. And I am prepared to fight for that opinion.

These are live videos and do contain how-to information. In fact, you'll find info in my videos that you will find nowhere else. However, these are not edited fancy videos that focus on video editing. I am a modeler, I share the modeling.

In this video, we substitute I&A stain for Steel wool and vinegar stain. Texture the wood and paint the walls an initial coat of off-white. Next video we will address windows and more wall detailing.

While I tried to get this video distributed through better means. It didn't make it anywhere.
If I wait any longer the video will lose relevance.

This week I started planning a trip to Springfield where I was talking to a few friends. One friend Michael Paul Smith shared an interview we did on his famous Flickr page, which was mighty kind. However, it is nice to find the comments below. This is why we share.

Michael notes,

If you have the inclination and the time, here is an interview, by way of the internet, that I did with Ron Pare ; an HO Model Builder/Maker from Canada.

[ it took place last march 2017]
