So...whatcha listen to when you build Tamiya's?

[mtbkym01]

I don't normally listen to any particular music when wrenching, but for one day a year for the last two years now, I have been able to sit down and indulge in a Tamiya build, while watching an endurance car race we have in Australia called The Bathurst 1000. It makes for a really pleasurable day

Sounds like a plan, wonder if I can hold off on my Avante build until this years race

Only 47 days to go

Good choice!

I've also found that I really like some of the Hogarth era, especially marbles and afraid of sunlight. Check it out sometime.

Also like Fish solo work.

I have a ton of music and what I listen too is very random. Could be Marillion, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Eurythmics, Zappa, Mozart, Beethoven, Van Der Graaf, King Crimson, Ultravox, Springsteen, A-ha. (OK, I do like prog) Right now I have Vangelis on.

Often times I have reruns of the mythbusters on in the background when building. I like the show, but once I've seen an episode I don't have the attention to re-watch it without doing something.

Oh man, I havn't listen to Ultravox in ages!

WHen I hear the song Vienna it reminds my of building a Tamiya 1/24 Supra model kit. Probably because I listen to that song over and over while I was building it.

I think tonight, while i'm work on the Scorcher, i'll dig up some old Ian Brown, Mr. Scruff, Kero 1, DJ Food, or Clutchy Hopkins.

You mean you can hear my wife in Mackay from Brisbane?

You forgot "Put that stupid toy down, act you age and help me get these kids to bed"

LMAO The last one sounds like my wife but for it to be her, it would have to be written it in all caps.

The voices in my head telling me to get it finished quick so I can get back to my other unfinished projects

I listen to everything between Lily Allen and 250 bpm hardcore techno but usually avoid the stereo while working on kits or at least building them for maximum concentration as I tend to triple check everything.

For me, something riff-heavy such as Down or Crowbar. Or any other metal.

If I'm just building/rebuilding/maintaining something, I usually work in front of the TV. I tinker with a car, my wife makes jewelry or sews, and we watch a movie or TV show from Netflix together. It works out well.

If I'm out in the workshop doing something that involves power tools or paint, I don't listen to or watch anything, because I find it better to concentrate on what I'm doing.
