Several people have asked where I got the tray seen in this video. We've left three Amazon affiliate links in the description to search results of office, makeup, and jewelry organizers, to help you find just what will work for you. Someone gave mine to me a long time ago, I don't know the origin and have not been able to find another one just like it. I like that the inner corners are rounded; make it easier to pick up small parts. Office drawer organizers often have rounded corners. Makeup organizers are often clear acrylic. Jewelry trays are shallow, with many compartments, but are often lined with felt; more protective but harder to clean.
I am 63 and have 3 months to retirement. I plan to finish all those builds I started when I was a kid. I told my kids when they were young to take good notes so you can pick up where you left off in 40 years!
As someone who doesn't have a permanent place to work, it's always interesting to see how people organise their workbenches. You're definitely right that having a commitment to the build and doing research is super important. Personally I love to visit car museums or shows and take photos and videos. Thanks for the video!
Doug, I just found this out today. Instead of buying bare metal sheets that appear to have a shelf life, I saw how some buy an alternative to this product. a roll of foil tape used for furnace duct work fixing leaky duct seams. It come at about 1.88" wide by many yards long for about $9.00 a roll. Looks like the same stuff.
Just discovered you...I'm an old guy that has recently taken up model cars again.(stopped in mid 70's). As an old guy,I can put into these what I didn't have the patience or ability to do as a kid. Everything you touched on in this video made sense and is highly inspirational information. You've really gotten me excited... Thanks so much...For the education and for jogging many dear memories. I'll be doing Roger Penske's L-88 but not yet...GREAT VIDEO!!!
As one "old guy to another", I'm , just getting restart. I'll celebrating my 81 first in Oct. The magnifies are on order (of course) haha. One of the things that I just don't get is the lowering of autos. Sometimes just inches off the ground. It's not practical and does nothing for the lines of the original design. Still working on getting storage stuff. Small containers etc. The air supply is still being researched. Got a good air brush ( Iwata Eclipse), now getting the correct air supply. I like to show what "old cars" were like and how they ran to young people. Girls are getting into the bay working as a mechanic. Good for them, it's not just a guy thing. Quite frankly, a cute young lady with a little dirt on her face is sexy (to me). haha
I worked at a company that built drafting tables for the Jeep corp back in the seventies! When we delivered these tables the shop manager took us on a tour of the factory ( after that I knew why jeeps would rust out so fast). They would go outside in bare metal at least seven times throughout the assembly process! The new factory isn’t like that now! I had a few friends that worked there! Every morning I would go outside my house ( 2 blocks away) and could smell the fresh paint ! That was 40 years ago that I moved from Toileto Ohio! No regrets! 😝🫡😎✌️🇺🇸
Getting all the reference material for your builds is part of the fun of the hobby. It's also a great motivation to finish a project as opossed to putting it to the side because of the lack or better yet, difficulty of acquiring what is needed to finish off a project. Thanks for the motivation always my friend....
Thank you. You are the second model maker this week who has given me great ideas. And it has confirmed something I have been thinking about for my own builds.
A very organized method. Thanks for showing us how you get set up for a build. That black mat looks like a great building surface. Where can someone obtain this material?
So I understand the promotional effect of showing the in progress to patron's. For your main channel having a time lapse after the fact is a great channel booster. You still maintain the benefits for the patrons since you do it all after the fact and the patrons have seen detailed in progress information. The time lapse gets voiced over as it plays and teases those inclined to look deeper into being a patron and gives a deeper look for those who follow the main channel at the same time. I always enjoy seeing the "how" different builders apply to their projects - whether its the desk and workspace(s) or the many facets of the projects themselves. Thanks for sharing
Nice video. I love that tip on separate project trays. Now if I could only convince one of my kids that I still love them even though their bedroom has been converted into my dream hobby room. Maybe this video will convince them. Maybe it might be easier to convince them if I waited until they graduate from high school…
All great ideas! I do some research with pics and colors. Never did a binder like yours. Impressive! I recently built a 53 Studebacker for a patient. It was a car he had in high school. So much fun! I had to modify the chassis because they 3-1 build was really meant for a drag car. So I used parts off an old truck model. Worked out well. Thanks again for the ideas.
I love your work spaces! Thank you for sharing your planning process. I am only on my 3rd model (Revell 1956 T-Bird) and am finding that to be a critical component in the hobby. I look forward to watching your other Jeep videos to see how it comes out.
I love building models. I took a break for 25 years as I became an auto mechanic. Now it drives me crazy to see a model that is not to exacting specifications. Thanks for the ideas.
I like the black mat....I'll be getting one! I'm a little 'ocd' so my work area has to be very organized & clean. I also go through the kit and organize all the parts I want to use into 'build groups'...i,e,: engine, interior, etc. I always do internet research before any of my builds and I write a detailed 'numbered punch list' for what customizing I want to do in the build. I take the instructions and write in the #'d punch list item in the steps that they apply to.
The first thing I must do is find a room that size I can solely use for modeling. Atm I work on my home office desk and spray paint in a small room in the basement, next to the gas heater of the apartment building. Research and almost memorizing the plan helps me a lot. I like your very orderly and structural planning. You have great love for detail.
Great tips Doug! I have a dozen or more binders full of magazine articles that i use for research material. I also keep the parts of in progress builds in small storage boxes.
Great tips. I like going a totally different direction. I start with a loose idea of what I want it to look like but I flow through the project without a specific course. Every part of the model gets plenty of attention and at the end I feel satisfied with the results.
Thanks for sharing your process for model building, Doug 👍 I generally try to follow most of the steps you have laid out, but I learned even more tips today! Best of luck with the Willys Jeep 👊🏻👊🏻 Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Haven't done this since I was a kid. I'd love to find out where to get a bunch of extra parts of miscellaneous cars, trucks, or whatever is in the pile. Thank you for this idea to be creative and finding something to focus on. Love the content. I have no social media but would love info on more. Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing your valuable advice on scalemodeling, it's greatly appreciated. I particularly liked your idea of keeping parts in a tray, it definitely makes the building process more organized and efficient! I will definitely put your all advices into practice! :)
Them I wasn’t that lost on that part 😂 😂😂, I do the same thing but I haven’t get my research organized like that, that’s something I can try to do, I’m always lost when I’m trying to get my photos in one place, thanks for sharing
Great advice 👍 I agree with the clean slate idea. I do that too. Colour influences, are big. I forget cars based on their colours. The car can be right infront of me and another car grabs my attention because of it's colour. How do you get out of being an adapter to everything. Everyone's buying random collections and I find random feels terrible after 10 years.
It's cool to do research on a real car, I always do.👍 Sometimes I have the feeling that I spend more time on research than on the model itself. I am somewhat annoyed by builds in which even the colors are not at all like in the original.
Great video thank you for sharing! Have you had any issues laying your rattle cans sideways? I’ve heard from others they can loose pressure quicker that way. It’s certainly more convenient otherwise.
Thank you For Showing your Methods for Hyper Detailed Builds and Exact Copies it's Great. I approach mist of My Builds Differently which is Neither Good nor Bad. I start by Unboxing kit Body inspection and Sharpie marking for mold lines, Ejector pin Marks, and body flaws like low Spots & imperfections. Next is Engine planning looking Carefully at parts, Anything I'm not happy With I make written note of on lined paper so I Correct these as I go often Deleting poor Detail & Fabricating replacement detail or improving detail by modifying Existing part planning Tires n Wheels Comes next often Rears require Widening if both Rims & Tires as well a Time Consumptive Task but highly Rewarding when completed. Chassis Building Next and So on
Good information...it's always good to look at new/different/better ways to do things. I do however have one comment re. the Jeep - the name is not pronounced "Willus", it's pronounced "Willees" with a long 'e' sound...dating all the way back to its army origin...and for many years after that, but prior to AMC buying the Jeep brandname in February 1970
Hi Doug, I just discovered your channel tonight and I am now a subscriber. Love how you have your build table setup, and I am going to be replacing my green mat with a nice black rubber mat after seeing this vid. Also can you tell me where you got your tool caddy that holds your pliers, cutters, scissors and such. Thanks in advance.
Hi Bruce, thanks for the sub! I bought that tool caddy from MicroMark about 40 years ago. I have not checked but they probably still sell it. My Dad still has his from when I was little! It's a timelessly useful design. The caddy that holds my hobby drill bits and burrs was scratch built. We did a video on that: ua-cam.com/video/A03tn5FFwY4/v-deo.html
Great vid and great content. I searched all the comments and you didn't put anything in the description as to where we can get the black ice skating locker room flooring mat. Can you Please Post the info where we can get it?
I bought the pieces have over 30 years ago at a store on Canal Street in Manhattan. It was a remnant. We looked for similar material on Amazon to post a link, but didn't find quite the same stuff. I think one would have to check with a commercial flooring company, rather than places like Home Depot. Let us know if you find some!
OK Doug, got the compressor thing complete, got the spray booth thing done, now ready to finally ready to build my first car. I say car but actually the Jeep truck. Any hints? How 'bout tips on details on things like spark plug wires, vacuum pipes and fuel line for the engine. I think I've got all the colors I need to start. Now, let's get started!
@@ModelCarMuse I got the Tamiya Jeep MB kit. The real challenge is that the instruction sheets are in Japanese. I just use the pictures to put it together.
I’m curious as to why you would file away unused parts from the previous project instead of adding them to the spares box / boxes. Seems like that’s a needless memory test of where they’re located and would take up a lot of space too.
That build was a special case, a commissioned build. If it ever needs to be duplicated or repaired I have the parts held aside. I also have spares boxes!
Makes sense to me. Sometimes I’ll build a kit a second time using lessons learned from the first. Also, when kit bashing, the parts are easier to find than having them all be in one giant box where all those delicate greeblies are grinding against each other.
@@alancabrera7116 that system simply wouldn’t work for me. I have specific parts boxes for wheels, tyres, carbs etc. Then if I have two or more of any part I’ll individually bag them.

Plus I like to be able to compare parts side by side so having several wheel choices all different widths right in front of me is far easier than searching through numerous folders.

But isnt it nice just to walk up yo your bench and dabble ? Thats true relaxation and I am at least as good ... if not better than anyone else here. Just dont take this stuff so seriously. Its about having fun 🎉
A few people have asked me that. It was passed to me by someone else and we haven't been able to find another one exactly like it. However, we've added a pinned comment and some links in the description above that you may find helpful in finding something similar. Thanks for asking!

As adults we can appreciate what we couldn't do as kids... your set up is really proper! Great content Mr Model Maker!!
The time and patience we earn as adults is something to be very grateful for.
I've remembered Doug very well from the pages of Scale Auto Magazine. Absolutely Amazing Builder.
As someone who doesn't have a permanent place to work, it's always interesting to see how people organise their workbenches. You're definitely right that having a commitment to the build and doing research is super important. Personally I love to visit car museums or shows and take photos and videos. Thanks for the video!

I really like how you are set up and work! No wonder you build AWESOME models!
You have established a great routine for building. I agree with you about the importance of research. Thanks for sharing.
All really good practices. Its kinda funny, our work spaces are set up pretty much the same. I really cant wait to follow along with this build!!
I don't think I'll ever be that organized! Looking forward to seeing the finished build...
Imagine the Board of Directors at JEEP being this organised about their own products.
I would have never been able to build a model without this information
GREAT ADVICE DOUG !!!!

Ps good video sir Doug !🫡🇺🇸
I always love to hear a bit of Toledo Jeep history!
I always put all decals in airtight zip lock bags before I put them in the stash
That's a good idea!
That’s going to look great! Can’t wait to see it finished, very informative video, Thanks!

Some great ideas for setting up a New Project enjoyed the video 😁
Awesome video Doug. These are the types of the videos I love. I love to see how builders build and their process. Thanks for sharing Doug.
Great topic! I share many of your building processes.
Some say he's very well organised. All we know is, that we call him "Method Man"!
Thanks for the tips. Have a great weekend.
Great tips Doug! I have a dozen or more binders full of magazine articles that i use for research material. I also keep the parts of in progress builds in small storage boxes.
Lol yea I always jump right in to a build keep them coming
Love watching your vids, well put together, informative and enjoyable. Thanks for keeping the hobby alive.

Awesome video Doug!! I do the same thing. I call mine "Project Boxes". (just don't ask how many of these boxes I have! LOL)
Thanks, Mark!
Wow your amazing I hope you do alot of build videos with the jeep build 🚙
Awesome video!
Awesome tips Doug!
Great video thank you for sharing! Have you had any issues laying your rattle cans sideways? I’ve heard from others they can loose pressure quicker that way. It’s certainly more convenient otherwise.
I've been storing them this way for about the past six years and have not experienced any loss of pressure.

Also can you tell me where you got your tool caddy that holds your pliers, cutters, scissors and such. Thanks in advance.
Hi Bruce, thanks for the sub! I bought that tool caddy from MicroMark about 40 years ago. I have not checked but they probably still sell it. My Dad still has his from when I was little! It's a timelessly useful design. The caddy that holds my hobby drill bits and burrs was scratch built. We did a video on that: ua-cam.com/video/A03tn5FFwY4/v-deo.html
Where do u get all these decals?? I never seen this before!!
Great vid and great content. I searched all the comments and you didn't put anything in the description as to where we can get the black ice skating locker room flooring mat. Can you Please Post the info where we can get it?
I bought the pieces have over 30 years ago at a store on Canal Street in Manhattan. It was a remnant. We looked for similar material on Amazon to post a link, but didn't find quite the same stuff.

Sounds like you will be ready for paint. We will be doing some content on wires and stuff at some point. Good luck on the build! Which Jeep is it?
@@ModelCarMuse I got the Tamiya Jeep MB kit. The real challenge is that the instruction sheets are in Japanese. I just use the pictures to put it together.
I’m curious as to why you would file away unused parts from the previous project instead of adding them to the spares box / boxes. Seems like that’s a needless memory test of where they’re located and would take up a lot of space too.
That build was a special case, a commissioned build. If it ever needs to be duplicated or repaired I have the parts held aside. I also have spares boxes!
@@ModelCarMuse so that’s not something you’d do every time you start a new build, just for that particular Corvette?
Makes sense to me. Sometimes I’ll build a kit a second time using lessons learned from the first. Also, when kit bashing, the parts are easier to find than having them all be in one giant box where all those delicate greeblies are grinding against each other.
@@alancabrera7116 that system simply wouldn’t work for me. I have specific parts boxes for wheels, tyres, carbs etc. Then if I have two or more of any part I’ll individually bag them.

Great video as always I just love them. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
I’m getting ready to start a build on a Mark Martin #6 Folgers car. My question is would you happen to know where you can get Matching air brush body paint? The use to be a website that made nascar matching car paint colors. But I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks, Jeff
We checked with our NASCAR model expert, Billy Kingsley. He suggests ScaleFinishes.com.
Great vid
I like how seriously you guys take this hobby too. I just built my first model, I'm 74 years old and should have started with an easier project. It looks okay on a high-shelf 🤫
Welcome to the Hobby! Have fun!!
Doug, an update. Finished the air compressor/ tank addition project. Works real good. The tank is ~ 3 ltrs, not quite a gallon (3.75 ltrs). The reserve tank is just great for keeping the cooler. If you'd like, I'll sent pix.
Locate shelf space for display?
What kit is that one at the start of the video, #2 Valvoline Indycar.?
That's from the Monogram Valvoline Indy kit. The kit was the speedway version but I scratch-built spoilers to make it into a road course version.
@@ModelCarMuse it looks super cool in your display shelf, need to find one of those kits. Thanks for letting me know.
Do you primer before you paint?
Always for the body. Optional for other parts where I don't want to build up too many layers of paint that will obscure detail.
But isnt it nice just to walk up yo your bench and dabble ? Thats true relaxation and I am at least as good ... if not better than anyone else here. Just dont take this stuff so seriously. Its about having fun 🎉
How do you dust your models without breaking off any parts.
I'm glad you asked! The answer is in our latest video "Removing Dust From Your Scale Models" ua-cam.com/video/cDM3OcoRyps/v-deo.html
Where did you buy that tray to hold your parts?:
A few people have asked me that. It was passed to me by someone else and we haven't been able to find another one exactly like it. However, we've added a pinned comment and some links in the description above that you may find helpful in finding something similar. Thanks for asking!
I have that italeri Jeep. Almost made me not want to build anything ever again.
Sometimes I find the research is more fun than the build.
Where do you get decals made?
For custom made decals I have used both STS Scale Model Decals and Bedlam Creations.
