Title: Scratch building in Styrene: Tips and Details
Post by: Rail and Tie on December 02, 2018, 12:58:30 AM

I thought I would share this great video of scratch building from the guys at Tested. Adam Savage is a movie model builder and host from Mythbusters.  I found some great ideas and energy from his video. Makes me want to go cut and melt some styrene and sniff Weldbond!

Enjoy!

Great video Darryl.....I knew he liked to blow up stuff, but wasn't aware of his modeling talents.  8)
