discussion Girly Question...What Music do you listen to when building kits?

[Guest]

I have found a little pattern to my music tastes when building kits. I'd never really thought about it until I talked to a friend.

at the moment with the Airliners it's the soundtrack to Catch Me If You Can and also a lot of swing.

My friend said that during his boat phase when they lived in Aberystyth it was sea shanties and the Titanic soundtrack. Now he is in Swindon and doing railways it is Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart.

My 48th planes is usually an Indie mixture and tanks tend to lean towards Modern Jazz!

Does anyone else have any music habits or am I a freak?

love,

Perry X X X

I'm currently into the Fratelli's and can't get away from it at the moment, the album is one superb track after another and one of the best I have heard in a long time. If you are into them you may have also noticed just how often thier tracks are used as background music on the TV!!

By the way Pan Am Clipper Girl, a warm welcome to the forum. Nice to see another lady joining us, we don't have enough amongst our members.

Your ID reminds me of a flight in the US many years ago which ended up being on a Pan Am flight the day before they very suddenly announced that they were going bust. I came very close to getting stranded!

i have to admit i just have windows media player set to random, so its what ever comes on.

in my car though at the moment i have The Plain White T's every second counts live dvd and its great fun!

Um, great question! I always put on the music of the era-Really takes me into the frame of mind. Since I'm into old machines, ships and planes I'll listen to Rachmaninoff, Bartok, Prokofieff, and other odd ball early 20th century composers. I think the closest I've come to modern music was Rammstein while building my first uboat!

Important consideration, Perry... establishing the appropriate ambiance. Swing, definitely swing... it evokes the radials, rivets and sculptured alloys of my favourite era of aircraft technology... 30s and 40s... unless of course I'm in the mood for Bebop, Cool or Hard Bop... and there's always room in my studio for some Soul Funk to re-energise (Freak Out!) if the masking is getting me down (I hate masking). A friend of mine, who is into panzer models, plays stuff like the Horst Wessel Lied and the Luftwaffe March from the Battle of Britain. Too rich for my veins (anyway, I've gone off things with guns hanging out of them at present)... although I have a soft spot for Kenneth Alford marches when I come over all colonial like... (Colonel Bogey; Thin Red Line; The Sound of the Guns; The Army of the Nile). Know wot I mean?

Planet Rock, the UK's Classic Rock DAB Digital Radio Station.

"UncaBret's Stuff Mix".

Might be The Doors followed by Andy Williams followed by Toby Keith followed by Led Zep followed by The Wombles.......

yeah, pretty random:music:

 

[Guest]

Blues blues and more blues of all sorts

 

[Guest]

music while you whittle?

Doesn't Perry start some thought provoking threads?

Good one, this...

Richard,(Bunkerbarge) I supplied the Cameras for the Fratelli's Chelsea Dagger video promo, and for a while I managed to keep the playback tapes with all the girls jumping around, scantily clad in....phwooooaaarrrr!...I digress....

I must admit that I need to calm down when I'm assembling valve-gear/motions and coupling rods ( it's keeping tiny rivets in place when you're trying to peen the ends over ) together, so John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald or some soul music works for me.

As a cold war warrior - anything from the 60's. Making Hunters to the sound of 'Telstar', Painting Thud's in 'Nam cammo to 'White Rabbit' - Oh happy day !!

White Rabbit is also great for Hueys...though that reminds me of some really bad times in the 80's (possibly the worst decade over all than any imho) built 4 on the bounce, that was before really good after market stuff and the internest...I did the mdevac "Helen Sue" with hand painted markings..ick and yuk!

At present I'm doing a rather nice 1/48th Hasegawa Bombcat...the first of many F-14's for me...so mainly it's my punk collections having a dust-down. I'm going to do another F-4, a Jolly Rogers machine next, that is great about airliners the amount of other kits you can complete inbetween coats of gloss white and silver. I swear my workload has tripled since I started my airliners.

My other Sinatra cds came last week so I don't have to annoy Matt with the same tunes.

I have my sea shanties already for my 350th Hood, 32 gun frigate and my card Lion...that should be a challenge, though to be honest guys I'm holding off on the Hood as I reckon we might get the version with the IIIF on the back...now that would be a nice kit.

Horses for courses with my music and modelling tastes...yeay to anoying the parents...sorry Matt :lol:

He said I might as well be his daughter after I lost my temper with the a very annoying throttle control on my Bombcat cockpit and he sent me for corner time...it's called washing up I've been told:smile11::emo10:. Who exactly said that models are good for patience? Bring on the decals, I'll be happy then!

Never play 1812 when doing delicate painting,those guns going off sure do make for wavy lines.

 

[Guest]

Hi Perry,

Yes, you are a freak!

I'm joking of course:grinball2:

It all depends on what i'm doing, if it's painting i'm doing, then it's usually something a bit mellow, Pink Floyd or Rush. But, saying that it's not unusual for me to blast out a bit of AC/DC or Joe Satriani.

This week though i'm on nights so my U-Boat weathering oddysey has been accompanied by Steve Wright on Radio 2.

Yes I know what you mean I have to admit to enjoying radio plays when building probably cos I can escape to another world when I'm fed up with some really boring bit that I want to chuck in the bin or crush into powder with a large mallet

I might try the Mark Steel lectures for some gentler models like my Fokker DVII or one of my Lohner flying boats.

I have Rambling Syd Rumpo coming in the post soon, there is a double entendre or similar there I guess, I'm not going to say anything:nono:, I've already had corner time here and it is very lonely and isn't nice, besides has anyone else done corner time? I think not as it was very manky in the corner, mebbe the mods ought to tidy it up if there is another spate of corner time?

I wonder how The Ballad Of The Woggler's Moulie would go down as I'm putting hakenkreutz on a Ju88 or singing along with this:

Moderated I tend to think of it this way, would I think the text suitable material to be repeated by a ten year old girl and this may include clever inuendo's as much as more blatant writings. If I think it is not suitable then it shouldn't be here. We are and always have been a forum suitable for all members of the family and I want to ensure that it remains that way.

As far as I am concerned that is now two strikes.
