Bench Time #55: Doug Foscale; Techniques and Concepts as we chill in the workshop!

1 hour 23 minutes

What is better to kick off with the first guest of 2019 then to be joined again by Doug Foscale of FOS Scale Models for The Bench Time Podcast episode 55? How about a whole show filled with tips, ideas and techniques on modeling from one of the best in the biz! We start off with some questions from the listeners for Doug on how to pack a diorama or model for travel to a show or event to prevent damage to your work, his ideas and concept of color theory and how to choose the colors for the models he builds, and how he gets inspiration on designing his kits.

Brett, Todd, and Doug discuss what is on their workbenches for their own personal building, and Doug tells them about his new layout he is building when he has a free moment. He then shares the details of his new program at FOS with the “Kit of the Month” and how you can sign up to have one of his unique one off designs sent to you each month to build and keep you busy throughout the year building quality structures!

Then we get into the nitty gritty techniques of modeling roads and sidewalks and he has some amazing and effective ways to create realism to your thoroughfares and bring a town to life. He touches on building vehicles, working and coloring with hydrocal castings, and he tells us all about some of his upcoming structures that we all can’t wait to get our hands on! There is a lot to this show that we couldn’t even list or remember all of it, so get cozy warm, get to work on your bench and listen in to this power-packed episode!
