Any hobby channels out there on cable or satellite?

Waikong,

Just checked out Modelers Channel, very nice!  Hadn't seen it before, but looks like it was just established this year.  Great to hear the modelers talk about their subjects.  And of course, nice to see some great models.

I watched one of these videos just today, the 1/24 Tamiya Suburu Impreza. Serious modeler, but MAN that apartment was just a fog of fumes!!!!!!!!

You can search youtube.com for specific search terms and find an array of model building articles.

whenever I go to korea, I go to a hobbyshop called Model World and I just sit there and watch the dude make models all day.

Here in Japan a few months ago Cable TV Fuji 721 had some shows on a Sunday that had 3 or so modelers that would build a selected subject, and they would take you through all aspects of the build.. I particularly liked watching them (usually single men) sitting in their tiny little apartment with little ventilation airbrushing away with a big smile on their face.. Not something that the average guy would attempt, but hey.. Anyway, these guys had some serious skills. Just a shame they wont live very long...

About 15 years ago, my local PBS station ran a series, "Adverntures in Scale Modeling" based on this book: http://www.redskybooks.net/cgi-bin/rsb455/022710.html. Contact your local affiliate, maybe they'll  run it if the tapes are still available. This was pretty basic stuff, but at least a bit interesting.

I remember that program also , i guess it died from lack of interest , to bad .

I think Japan has something like that... except its mostly Gundam centered... and its in Japanese (well waddaya know)

go to youtube and do a search for Z'Gok diorama.

Many years ago I wrote a semi-comedy piece about 'PMN', the 'Plastic Modeling Network' for our club newsletter. I'll have to see if I can find it and post it here...
