Model appropriate music.

I have to say that my musical choices depend on what stage of the process I'm in.

Well, for Luftwaffe subjects then Aces High March from the battle of Britian would be appropriate.

Anything playing on JJJ or streaming on my media server, be it Hunters & Collectors, Vivaldi, Hilltop Hoods, Lorde etc etc etc. Just not stupid rap!

I find that I need something to listen to or I start talking to myself, it dosent matter what.

I converted all of my albums in to digital media and then copied them onto my Ipod.  It is set to play back in the shuffle mode so I can be listening to Willie Nelson one minute and then a christmas song. Nothing like singing Winter Wonder Land when it's 103' in San Antonio.

What is this iPod device you speak of?

Hi Wirraway !

 Now being as how you ask . Here goes .The High and the Mighty soundtrack . From the days when prop liners were King .

 Flight of the Valkiyries when building anything from the " Nam " . Military and Sea Chanties when doing those things .  And last but not last . Glenn Miller and yes , Lawrence Welk and the Grand Ole Opera when building cars and trucks .   T.B.

Aw C,mon Mark !

 Why not the Texas Troubador when building ? Me , It's The " Man in Black " himself and his buddies ,  Willie , Waylon and Merle .  LOL.LOL.  T.B.

Now Doc you know that a man cannot live on bread alone.  You gotten expeience the other things in life.  Otherwise how are you gona know?

Silence for me when working on my models. 

I don't listen to music when I build models, prefer silence. But if I were to during those German or Russian builds.... Horst Wessel Lied, Panzerlied, Kalinka, or USSR anthem. 

Most of the time, it's the local classical station. Othewise it's a conglomeration of '50s, '60s, and opera music. Just started building Armour recently and as Kien said, Panzerlied and a few other German marches are great ones to start with. Having had two years of German in H.S., I attempt to sing along with them.

P.S. Wonder why the neighbors all keep their windows closed.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Dixieland jazz.

Being a "metal head", I usually have Pandora radio on (mostly "power metal"...sometimes 50's-60's "oldies")

Most "fitting" for modeling tiny war machines...I'd have to say Sabaton. Great metal, out of Sweden. 95% of their songs tell the tales of battles/wars throughout history...from Sparta right on up to the Gulf. Highly recommended for any and all into hard rock/metal!

Hello!

I mostly listen to the radio, but sometimes their musical choices or ads start to bother me. There used to be an internet radio station that used to play Vietnam-era music from the sixties with real AFVN infomercial clips pasted in - that was great. But unfortunately they have taken it down due to some chane in the US law. It was called 1stCavMedic, created by a vet that died due to cancer some 10 years ago, but his wife hept this station active as a memorial.

When I listen to MP3s, it's mostly blues (very good music for modelling!), rocksteady (pre-Reggae), dixieland or some classic Rock and Roll. Like already said - Johnny Cash is great. Jimi Hendrix also has a lot to say. And check out something entirely different - this clip just played and inspired me to write this post: Jamesie and the Happy 7. It's a band from the US Virgin Islands. That music feels like concentrated tropical sun!

Thanks for reading and have a nice day

Fermis - Sabaton puts on a great show! Seen them a couple of times. 

 

The truth is what you speak!!!

Saw them twice, in Detroit ("Heroes" and "Last Stand" tours). Got to meet and take pics and autographs with Joakim and Par. Cool guys! I love small venues!!!

Now, If we could just get Sabaton, Kamelot, Gamma Ray, and Helloween together...that'd be a hell of a show!!!

Taped old time mystery radio shows, corny but fun. Taped Prairie Home Companion, taped books on historical figures, Churchill, Ike, Patton and the like.

Music: Bluegrass, Elaine Page, Kanawa, Loreena Mc Kinnit, Ahmad Jamal, some light classical.

If you guys click on my avitar you will see what I listen to or watch while I glue stuff.

It's too much to post here all at once.

YouTube is my go-to source for music when I am building. The music genre is called "epic" and it's quite good. The music doesn't interfere with my work but does keep me motivated. My favorite composer is Thomas Bergersen.

Here's a sample: https://youtu.be/ZEj1cA2wu4k

I have an old iPod Classic with about 3500 songs on it. It's set for random play, so I can hear anything from Enya to Johnny Cash to Casting Crowns to Patty Loveless to Chris Tomlin to Steven Curtiss Chapman to Allison Krauss to Trinity River band to Boston to.......Well, you get the idea. I listen to just about anything except rap. I won't call it stupid - just not my style of music.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Dixieland jazz.

I've been known to watch college football or listen to political talk radio while modeling. Or I listen to the score of either my favorite movies (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc) or a movie related to what I'm building. For instance, I listened to Hans Zimmer's score for Dunkirk while building both the Spitfires I just wrapped up.

I was talking to a friend of mine that told me...

"If you're building German war planes, you have to listen to Wagner ( or is it Vagner?)

Otherwise the plane just wont turn out right.

I have a you tube soundtrack playlist that I usually listen to when I'm building. As well as a good selection of soundtrack CDs that I put on to match the subject. Or playlists on my ipod. With my current project I have been listening to various film scores involving the Soviets...
