Have you ever wondered if you REALLY need all of the media and mediums that we seem to collect? Now don’t get us wrong, it’s fun to get new stuff and we are in no way telling anyone that you shouldn’t buy new materials and supplies. But sometimes I think we all get wrapped up in this brand, that brand, and “you HAVE to use that when you do this” kind of talk. When in reality, you can get by with a lot of other alternatives that you might already have or can pick up for a fraction of the cost.

The other danger of the overload of media and materials is that it can quickly overwhelm and cause anxiety in newer fine scale and craftsman modelers who we’re trying to get into this hobby to make it grow! So instead we discuss some alternatives and ways that people can ‘de-clutter’ or undo the overload of options that you might feel like you “just have to have”!
