This weekend on The Bench Time Podcast Episode 51 we have an extra special treat for you with special guest and patron Jake Johnson! Jake is a professional model maker with Train Shack, and he has worked as a dimensional designer and model maker with Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Entertainment, Shadow Machine, and Mattel! You name it, we think this guy has built it! He has built projects for Mattel Toys, Stop Motion Animation models for Robot Chicken Star Wars, ¼ Big Thunder Model on display and other projects at Disneyland, such as Shanghai Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar Land Models, and along with all of his impressive professional resume, a long list of private clients we can’t mention. To top it off? He does boat loads of model railroad projects both personally and for clients with Train Shack in Burbank California!
And since it is right before Christmas and the Holidays and everything is a magical time for us all, this is the perfect and unique interview! Jake’s models are insanely, knock your socks off great! We discuss with him what all he has done and he gives us some insight into how he has built some of the projects mentioned above, gives us a few pointers and a couple of products he uses to get effects. He is upbeat, energetic and a great guest to have with us, so we plan to bring him back soon to share some more pointers and ideas he has for our own model railroad projects! He even answers some questions from our Patrons!!
Jake does about every type of scale and every type of modeling you can think of. This show isn’t just for the model railroader! It is for lovers of all modeling, be it military, transportation, structural, engineering, or wargaming, there is a little something fascinating for us all to take from this fella! So put a yule log in the fireplace, grab your eggnog or favorite holiday beverage, sit back, turn up the volume, and tune into the podcast!
