Episode 104 finally prompted me to get in touch. You talked about a modeller who didn’t like Tamiya style kits because he preferred a more challenging build. I have to say I’m one of those that sort of agrees with this view. Not that building a Tamiya kit make you less of a modeller, but I enjoy the build more than the painting so I tend to find the Tamiya “perfection” less engaging. I’m currently building a 1/48 Tamiya Tomcat and a 1/24 Airfix Stuka and my motivation for the Tomcat is really struggling. The airframe is basically complete, the weapons are done and so is the undercarriage but every time I pick it up it’s a struggle. And I like Tomcats. With the Stuka it’s totally different, I’m 6 months in and still totally enjoying it.
