Join us for an exciting and jam-packed episode of Plastic Model Mojo as we welcome back Chris Wallace from Model Airplane Maker! Chris brings us up to speed on his progress transforming his new basement into Model Studio 2.0. We’ll talk about the challenges and rewards of setting up a dedicated workspace, and share some laughs as we recount how Chris, recovering from a cold, sticks to hot tea while Mike savors Cooper's Craft Barrel Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Ever wondered if high-quality modeling tools are worth the investment? This episode's for you. We dive into the nitty-gritty of modeling techniques and supplies, featuring insights on Future Thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner and the pitfalls of VMS satin varnish.
