Friend on the Bench

From Historical Wings to 3D-Printed Things.

Welcome to Friend on the Bench, the home of multi-genre scale modelling and the creative pivot into the future of the hobby.

Whether it’s staring down a 'Nemesis' build like the 1/48 F-14 Tomcat, weathering heavy armor, or exploring the infinite possibilities of 3D printing and figure painting, this channel is about the joy of the build. We bridge the gap between traditional plastic kits and modern tech, all while keeping the conversation honest, supportive, and grounded.

What we do here:

Deep-Dive Builds: Aircraft (Planes), AFV, and Warhammer.

The 3D Frontier: Integrating 3D printing into traditional scale modelling.

No-Nonsense Reviews: Real talk on aftermarket parts and yes, we use them!

The Podcast: Bi-Weekly sessions discussing hobby philosophy and the wider community.

Pull up a chair, grab your nippers, and let's get to work. There’s always room for a friend on the bench."
