Episode 281: Raw Building

In this episode of the Scale Riders podcast, we’re cutting through the noise and getting straight back to the bench. After dealing with a creative slump, I talk about breaking everything down to basics, finding purpose in model building again, and why I chose to step back from overproduced content to focus purely on raw, unedited bench sessions.

I also dive into the latest progress on the custom build—swapping a '49 Merc roof onto a '56 Bel Air and grafting on custom '57 taillights—plus a game-changing CA glue and marker trick to save time and primer when leveling out seams. Finally, we talk about the history and heritage of the hobby, why model kits are like vinyl records, and plans for an upcoming local swap-and-sell meetup in California.
