Music to build models to

Hi there.

Sometimes I like to listen to music whilst I am building a model or constructing a diorama. I find that I'll listen to different genres of music when working on different genres of models. Some examples.

When I'm working on my 1/35 scale Italeri M-109 IDF Roher, or any of the other self-propelled artillery pieces I'm building as IDF weapons, I like to listen to "THE BALLAD OF PALADIN" aka "HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL" both instrumental and vocal.

instrumental: Duanne Eddy (guitar) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSagjIc3slk&feature=related

Vocal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgvxu8QY01s

When working on some of my other IDF vehicles I like to listen to some Hebrew songs. One of those songs is "THE THEME FROM EXODUS" (instrumental Roger Williams piano) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKBJcnPjoh0

or as a vocal "THIS LAND IS MINE" (Andy Williams vocal)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEYmomUuveU

and "OD YAVO SHALOM ALEINU" ("PEACE WILL COME UPON US").

If building a derivative of a Sherman gun-tank there is always "BURNING BRIDGES" from 'Kelly's Heroes'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCjWQHpu3bY

Whenever I'm working on a North African Desert L.R.D.G. truck or S.A.S. jeep I love to listen to Ravel's "BOLERO" because the rhythm reminds me so much of the swaying ride of a camel or dromedary on the desert sands. I find that music exceptionally relaxing.

U.S. PT boat models rate "PT-109" by Jimmy Dean.

There are lots of great songs to listen to while working on aircraft models.

Do any of the rest of you listen to such music when you are building models?

I prefer to listen to the wonderful sound of my better-half's voice as she chats away in my ear...












ok, she's left the room.

I hardly ever listen to music while modeling, I will actually put in a DVD and while things are drying I can look up and watch and while I'm working I just listen. Of course it's a DVD that I've watched countless times so I know what's going on, not something I haven't seen yet.
 
Sunday afternoons (not during football season), I listen to WSGE, the Gaston County Community College station online, they play music from the 30's thru the 50's, program is called "The Good Stuff". Otherwise, I've got Launchcast Radio going on the computer, you never know what you're gonna hear!

Heavy Metal for Heavy Armor modelling :evil: :laugh:

Mostly metal variants for me: Epica, Therion, Nightwish, Rammstein, Amorphis, Mortemia, Tristania, Sirenia, After Forever, InFlames, Kamelot, Liva, Merkabah...



Ok, headbanging while holding a tiny PE part in cheap tweezer is NOT a good idea :pinch: :silly:
 
Well, I guess I have some redneck in me. I do like to listen to Bluegrass and old country, but I can't get enough of Irish Punk and Rockabilly! (It must be all the tattoo ink!) I will listen to all forms of Blues as well.

This is from a live at the BBC concert he did , I have seen the whole concert and he rocked the place to the foundations ! This is my favourite song of his but I also like his duet with Queen ;)

I enjoy lots of kinds of music,but not while modeling.When i work it's either quiet or some sports talk radio or a ball game,usually baseball.
 
I listen to a lot of Tom Waits while building...or at work, or in the car. Well, I listen to his music almost all of the time...

1982, the South Atlantic, HMS Hermes, not yet near Las Malvinas... Of course, later they played Queen again (Another one Bites the Dust).

Yet, for my own listening pleasure...
