Hi there! I would like to find out how you create your own magic atmosphere in your workshop. I’m sure you all have your own quirks. Mine is to play the movie “Sink the Bismarck!”. It makes me feel highly motivated.
What about yours?
Listening to the soundtrack from “Victory at Sea.”
Wine. A nice glass of wine, and my favorite rock station on the radio.
My model room is my office and fortunately I have my computer there too. I have over a thousand tunes on my own playlist which I listen to when modeling. No commercials.

if i’m building russian then russuan compossers
will be putting this ti the test starting october. i have revell AMERICA and PEDRO NUNESand the trumpeter CHENGHO CHINESE TREASURE SHIP a friend gave me. fortuantely i am also in a wood ship building club sso i have plenty of expertise in rigging and sail making to draw ob.
I play Das Boot over and over.I have no idea how many times I’ve heard it the last twelve months.
It depends on the era of ship. WWII I have the series “Victory at sea”, the movie “Midway”, “U-571”, or “In Harm’s way” going, and if it’s more modern, I like to put in something like “The Final Countdown”. Love the sequences in that one.
I have a pretty big CD collection that is eclectic, everything from America to ZZ-Top from long hair Classical to the latest from Enigma. Nothing really special to listen to, In the past 2 years I’ve been pretty heavy into the blues, I picked up a few Muddy Waters Cd’s that are really good, I wish had found him earlier.
I am sorry to say,the TITANIC soundtrack is my choice.Excellent music with feeling.Also the theme from the movie"1492". now there is a soundtrack! Victory at Sea , Das Boot and some others are good too.I also like the themes from “Waterworld”. TANKER-builder

Nice! A bit of class and sophistication there.
Here’s a good line-up of sound tracks. I just youtubed Harms way. Never watched this movie before, but it seems to have enormous potential, I might just add that to my list.
Hehehe don’t get too distracted from your work. Keep your eye on the price.
Music; Jeff Waynes ‘War of the Worlds’, Led Zep, Stones.
DVD; Das Boot, Conan, The Thing, Hornblower! Cross of Iron, Master and Commander and as soon as they are in the shops, Battleship and Judge Dredd.
Nice one! You know your stuff. Haven’t watched Battleship. Does it show much promise? I suppose it’s worth the watch to see the Missouri in action. Hornblower is a great choice! Good maritime drama. That man knows how to think on his feet. I wonder if Ioan Gruffyud will come back to finish the series. There were so many naval battles during the Napolionic war. Could be a knock out!
Battleship is an excellent film, not too cheesy and a decent story, the Missouri isn’t in it for long but a good film for building models to! I doubt they’ll do anymore Hornblower which is a shame, but at least they did a lot of “Sharpe”!
And they finally gave us a decent "Judge Dredd’ which is very much as it should be and not like the travesty starring Stalone!
Fantastic! I’ll take you up on that offer. A shame indeed. Perhaps we could get Hornblower back based on a petition campaign. Lol. I forgot about Sharpe. It’s meant to be good Quite an action man. What about Master and Commander? Even better the Mutiny on the Bounty! That’s another classic. With Stallone as Judge Dredd one have to say that you can’t polish a turd. I won’t give the new remake a miss. I’ll be waiting for the premier to come.
On the bench: Tamiya 1/700 Scharnhorst, Waterline series.
I’ve been into Dredd since issue 1 when I was a kid! The new film won’t dissapoint!
If I’m in a sci-fi mood then battlestar galactica, space 1999, alien, babylon 5 and anything with spaceships!
