Never left, just been working on getting the Patreon Channel up and running.

Great to see you posting. Thoughtful comments - your insight into the things we can do to make better models (air brush deep dives and build techniques among others) are something I recommend to others in my club, but beyond all that the importance of making the model the way you want it to come out (not the way your club members or internet strangers nudge you to) are something I completely agree with. Nothing spoils joy quicker than work you are doing to impress someone else that you don’t personally find rewarding. Konrad

I think 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' has morphed into 'Zen and the Art of Model Making'!

Yes! I keep thinking the same thing. I mentioned something similar in my note when I joined as a Patreon member.

What a pleasant surprise seeing a new video pop up on the feed from My favorite channel.

Thanks Paul, you truly are the 'YODA' of our hobby. 👍🏻

As someone who struggles with perfectionism and fear of failure this video helps a lot. Thank you for your words and insight. 👍

Always excited to see a vid from you Doc!

Words of wisdom indeed. It's easy to see how much you care about this humble hobby. Thank you for thinking about us enough to share your thoughts.

The sage of styrene,nice one 😉👍

Thank you Paul. You are the proverbial one eyed man in a blind kingdom.

Let's go! It is ALWAYS a good day when Paul uploads! Absolutely love your style on this channel sir!

Thank you!

The best time for me is when the candy store put my model on layaway! it was an accomplishment just getting it!

Been a while, but always good to view a post from Paul...Thank you.

You are and always will be my inspiration for building scale models and starting my KZread channel to share my process with my subscribers. Being from a country like India, where people mock us scale modelers for wasting time on building 'useless toys', it is a long and hard journey to craftsmanship. Thanks to maestros like you and countless others, I get to enjoy my builds and bask in the experience of build journey!

Keep the videos coming Paul - this has always been the best and most informative modeling channel on KZread.

Thank you Paul, i love your videos. 👍🏼👍🏼

Feeling the same way!

So glad to see you back posting. You have the same perspective that I do when it comes to building models. The enjoyment is for me and me only and I do my best, but never try to satisfy someone else’s world.

Great to see you posting again!

Thanks Paul.

Needed to hear this.

Yes! A new video! Best modeling videos and tips on Earth!

PS : currently working on the Revell WW1 SPAD ( 1/28 ). So much fun! Stay 😎!

After watching a lot of these modelers on you tube it is refreshing to this hobby put in perspective. You, Paul, Mike Ashey and old boy on scale model aircraft just build models in the best way possible. Always look for watching you and the other two. There was one more his channel was the scale modeling technique, he passed away last year.

It's great to see your video again.

Thanks Paul! Great stuff to think about.....really like your work.....I too prefer gear-up aircraft model.....also your PT boat is really cool.....Shapeways sell the 3D printed WW2 US Navy crew and they are EXCELLENT, check them out!.....Keep On Truckin ' KC. CA. USA

He's back!

I loved hearing from you again!

Thank you for the light of knowledge! I personally have found scale modelling as the best possible way to develop my handworking skills together with understanding of engineering and systems in entertaining way. Enjoying fixing the kit production flaws more than easy quick assembly and obtaining gloss even surface of lapped plastic more than weathering. Always looking for challenges, buying especially crap kits, meeting new materials, restoring second hand vintage models etc.

That was fantastic. Thank you

I loved listening to your model musings....You're awesome dentist dude!⛵

Hi Paul, perfect timing !! l’ve been procrastinating over two old 1/24 330P4 (Fujimi/Union) models on the bench, trying to understand how to combine them for the best result. Best result for who, I now ask. So thank you for the reality check, really appreciated. Trust you are well, thanks so much for these words of wisdom

Excellent words and outlook on today’s hobby. Thank you for your wisdom 🤓👍

Good words! 👍

You sir, are a philosopher of great and good. What makes a man? What makes a model? Why does a man make a model? Well, at least it's PRODUCTIVE. And, in imitation of my favorite Roman: I close by stating, once again, boredom must be destroyed.

I agree. I have missed your sage comments.

Well put sir 👍☕🐢

Amen

Model building like life is about the journey not the destination...

Please make more videos. we want the maximum we can get from your experience sir.

Good thoughts and build to enjoy and please yourself. If a person wants to be a super detailed builder . Then they may need a basic model also getting built to release the stress of the other. In the end there just plastic models.

Wish I could shift my perspective to one like this, but for now I'm sadly still stuck in the "look how much time I spent only to disappoint myself, what am I doing..." era of my scale modeling.

That's a choice you've made. Only one in control is you. But then again, that just gives you another thing to be disappointed about.

@@scale-model-workshop I hope it will change over time, but when you're still new to the hobby and learning through mistakes (which is necessary) it's always a bummer to not come close to your vision or expectations.

not a single weathering product in sight

You missed the point here.

First

Perfection doesn't exist in nature. Try to achieve it, in any field, and you'll be disappointed. When you start shouting at a piece of plastic, that's the time to stop. Maybe for the day, maybe for years before coming back to the model. I find I need a connection with the subject, something about it that drives me to see the "problems " as fun, rather than a nuisance.

Ahh yes, the issue of Detail Paralysis ! Trying to hard to achieve absolute perfection resulting in no forward momentum.
