    Steady Crafter In The Wild!

    April 24, 2023 /

    The other day, we were sitting around thinking about how great of a community our fans are and how wonderful it would be for you guys to be able to meet in person. We wanted to make that a little easier for y’all and took a shot at the “In the Wild” concept. You know….you’re at your favorite hobby store, look over and see someone wearing the SC ITW shirt…or maybe you’re wearing it and someone sees you.

    Here is a walkthrough of how I make digital tunes and soundtracks for my YouTube videos.
