Ever attended a model show that left you inspired and eager for more? Join us as we recount the highlights from the Military Modelers Club of Louisville's annual show in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. Despite the aftermath of a hurricane, the event was a blast, filled with camaraderie, fascinating displays, and one of the best raffles we've ever seen. Meanwhile, Mike grappled with a power outage at home, but we're back and excited to share our journey. We also talk about our plans to visit the MMSI show in Schaumburg, Illinois, famous for its focus on figure modeling. And if that wasn't enough, we've got some tantalizing insights into upcoming episodes, including a much-anticipated "Shop Talk" in Episode 125 and a mysterious surprise around the corner for Episode 126.
October has been a whirlwind, but we're just getting started. Our creative engines are revving, and we can't wait to roll out two engaging episodes soon, complete with surprise shorts to keep things lively. We're on a mission to grow our community, aiming for a milestone of over 5,000 members, and we invite you to be part of this exciting journey. Whether you're a seasoned model maker or just curious, there's plenty to look forward to. Stay tuned as we bring fresh stories and insights from the model-making sphere. Episode 125 is just around the corner, promising to be packed with new adventures and inspirations!

Episode 102: Jake McKee + Project "Tipping Points” & Getting Back in the Saddle
Episode 102 features a great conversation with Modeler and Creator Jake McKee, where we touch on soooo many different ideas related to creating and modeling. From influences to thinking outside the box, and even, yes, you guessed it, scope creep! Jake is a super interesting guy and you won't want to miss this!
We discuss that "tipping point" where a project goes from "I'm not sure if this is going to work," to, "This is definitely going to work." And then conversely we also discuss what happens when a project doesn't live up to our expectations and we need to "get back in the saddle."
We also continue to make some audio changes to the podcast to hopefully make it more enjoyable to listen to, this time out our theme music gets some enhancements.

Rob Riviezzo
I'm Rob Riviezzo, I'm from Long Island, NY. I've been building models since I was a small boy, probably around 6 or 7 years old when I used to sit with my dad while he made his HO scale train set. Took a break while in my teens and got back into the hobby around 21 after my mother fell ill and I was looking to get my mind off of all the craziness. I primarily build armour models, focused on mostly German and Russian WWII. I will also build the occasional modern armour subject or Sci Fi model like Gundam, or Star Wars. I am a very active member of Amps (Gotham Amps) and my local IPMS chapter (The Long Island Scale Model Society). I started the Modeling Insanity Podcast in May of 2023 after the Modeling Miscreant Podcast which I was a Co-Host on fell through. I am also now the Associate US Editor of Military Modelcraft International which is the largest English speaking Armor Military magazine in the world. I am a monthly contributor and reviewer for the magazine. I am known for my photo-etch and scratchbuilding.

James Morando
I’m writing now because our local club, IPMS Santa Rosa, will be hosting a show on October 12, 2024 and I wanted to ask if you could please include our show during any upcoming model show “shoutouts" on your podcast.
We are very excited about this year's show. This year we will be adopting an Open/GSB judging format for the first time. In fact I’m pretty sure this will be the very first show ever to use an open judging format in the IPMS Region 9, which encompasses Northern California and Nevada. So we’ll be making a little history! With that in mind, the theme of our show will be “Evolution.”
I have attached our show flyer below but the pertinent information is that: It will be held from 9-4 pm on Saturday, October 12, 2024 at the Rohnert Park Community Center in Rohnert Park, California. Free admission and $12 entry fee for first 3 models. Lots of great vendors are lined up, we will have a terrific raffle, will be doing a build and take table and then the Open/GSB judging. We are also asking folks to bring kits and model building supplies to the show for donation to support our charity initiative for Help Heal Veterans, a wonderful organization that provides free theraputic kits and modeling supplies to veterans.

We want to hear from you! Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions scalemodelpodcast@gmail.com.
Hi Stuart,
Paul Redding
Just to say I am following your Tamiya 1/350 build with interest as I bought the 1/450 Hasegawa version earlier this month as part of a carrier / IJN aircraft rabbit hole I went down...I have steered clear of anything Japanese all my modeling life but finally, curiosity got the better of me and I caved. Lots of research on IJN aircraft and how it all got built up resulted in about 18 aircraft kits...doh! Luckily there were some sales on including the canopy masks so that helped...
I haven't built any warships before (except Airfix Victorious in 1/600 in the 60s as my father was on it in the Fleet Air Arm as a flight engineer bringing the aircraft up on deck and have pics of it in Sydney Harbour (see attached). You can also see its' sister ship Illustrious and maybe you / Geoff can identify the aircraft on board - Martlets? One photo shows an aircraft that seems to have stuffed it into the tower. I seem to have ended up with quite a few carriers as I also get sucked into watching docos on PBS America which is fatal
A doco on the scuttling of the ships at Scarpa Flow and the film Sink The Bismark didn't help either so that ended up with a few more purchases; I can't see the detail in 1/700 so minimum is 1/450 or the usual 1/350
Like you I try to stay away from PE but have bought a few railing kits and also for the radar arrays/antenna if not included; plus the wooden deck sets and a couple of brass barrel sets for Prince Eugen...
I also concur with your plan to paint common parts on the sprues and build in sub-assemblies ( I have been doing this for my model railway wagon kits in batches of 4 or 6 - makes for alot simpler build)
I am mentally prepared for a ship build; after 1/48 aircraft and 1/24 cars, its going to be very different.
Hope the extended break allows y'all to recharge and come back rested - I build for the relaxation like I did all those years ago pre-internet and do it to my own standards ie no interest/point in trying to achieve the standards of some of the professional kit builders out there on YT or the forums

Topic - The state of publishing magazines from Rob’s view
**************************************
WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Not a ton of time but finished Yamato and started a 1/72 Italeri F-22 which will be made into a what-if CF-22. Also helping a club member with the estate of a fellow modeler. Lots of stuff to deal with.
Geoff - two “request” builds on the go. My brother wanted a ceiling hanger for his cottage, so I Pulled a 1/48 Revell DC3 from the stash to paint as a fire spotter plane, with custom decals by club member Pablo! The same brother also asked me to build a F-16CJ block 50 for a retiring USAF pilot who is married to his good friend's daughter. Been very busy!
Terry -
Off the bench: Yamato Dreadnaughts and P-47H. On the bench: Moosaroo Cup items. Working on something nice, getting all the bits together. Also trying to get the Crusher Joe Harpy finished up. Mostly I’m getting things out of the way now, either finished or stored so I have space for the Moosarro diorama.
Rob - currently painting the Bronco Panzer III A for the second part of a 2 part article for Military Modelcraft International. The build was in the September issue of the magazine. Also working on reviews for Resin Tech Model (RTM) for their KV and SU-100Y. Lastly working on the 1/16th Stug III G for Boresight, the Amps club magazine.
***************************************
WHAT WE ARE READING
Geoff - The Hunters, by James Salter. A 1956 novel about F86 Sabre pilots in the Korean War.
Terry - Completed Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Final Architecture. Very satisfying, a big involved experience. He follows the same characters through the series, and it seems like he really came to love some characters who were initially just support characters. Reading a few informal series now, but I have some nonfiction on the deck, Steve Brusette’s Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs. Also reading the Cimarrean Conan graphic novel.

Shaping the Future of Fine Scale Modeler: Insights and Innovations
Have you ever wondered how a beloved hobby magazine can evolve and thrive in today's digital age? Join us as we explore the fascinating history and future prospects of Fine Scale Modeler magazine. Featuring insights gathered from Aaron Skinner and Tim Kidwell at the IPMS National Convention and an A Scale Model Podcast's exclusive vision-sharing session with Firecrown Media's CEO, Craig Fuller, we revisit the magazine's journey from its 1980s roots under Kalmbach Publishing up to its current direction. We'll reflect on the magazine's early days dedicated to skill development and how it adapted through changing revenue streams, all while expressing our passion for a return to detailed, skill-based builds.
Inspired by high-end European publications, we brainstorm innovative ways to enhance Fine Scale Modeler's quality. Imagine longer, more in-depth articles, comprehensive product comparisons, and reviews that elevate the magazine's value. We discuss the importance of maintaining affordable pricing to attract casual readers while leveraging digital content to guide them to new online resources. As lifelong fans, we believe in the need for a strong American modeling publication and encourage listeners to share their ideas for improvement, which we will discuss further in future episodes. Join us in this compelling discussion and be part of shaping the future of Fine Scale Modeler.

Episode 101: Managing Model Stress + Posse Group Build + Panzerfabrik Visit

We also make some audio changes to the podcast to hopefully make it more enjoyable to listen to. Scott has removed some of the processing and produced what is hopefully a more natural sounding podcast for all of you!

Scratch Building in 1/144th Scale w/ William Adair: Episode 122
How do you keep your modeling spirit high amidst life's interruptions? Join us as we savor the cooler weather and the extra modeling time it brings in this episode of Plastic Model Mojo. Mike and Dave share how our collective hobby enthusiasm is soaring, and we discuss the remarkable benefits of making progress with small, regular steps rather than waiting for those elusive large blocks of time. We share personal anecdotes and practical advice on maintaining our hobby, even when life throws us curveballs. Plus, we express our heartfelt gratitude for the thoughtful gifts from our listeners, including some excellent Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Crop Circle Wheat beer from the Great Dane microbrewery.
Our episode brims with exciting updates from the international modeling community. Learn about a first time guest from the UK to the 2025 United States National Convention in Hampton, Virginia, and the resurgence of a Gundam build group in Middle Tennessee. We highlight impressive book finds on Japanese aircraft and submarines, and share upcoming events like the West Midlands Police Scale Model Club's speed-build of a 24th scale Airfix Spitfire at Duxford. Listener queries about surprising discoveries in the hobby spark discussions on innovative tools and historical findings in military modeling, showcasing the ever-evolving nature of our beloved pastime.
A special conversation with modeler William Adair takes center stage as he shares his journey from teenage kit building to scratch-building 1:144 scale pre-World War I and World War I aircraft. William dives into the challenges and rewards of creating such detailed models, offering insights into his unique career and the skills he has developed along the way. From mastering magnification and wing detail to creating custom decals and using them as construction materials, this episode promises a comprehensive and enriching experience for all model enthusiasts.

MGPC Episode 85 "Virginia Shootout" Wrap-up &...Where's D-ran??!!
The Geeks hit the road and hit up the IPMS Roanoke Valley’s “Virginia Shootout” show.
Nothing beats a quick weekend trip with your modeling buddies, especially when a show is happening, the kit deals are HOT and the Mexican food is muy bueno! Toss in a few beers with friends and it’s practically impossible to top for a real Modelgeek!
In this episode we recap our trip to southwestern Virginia and the Virginia Shootout. We had a great time, saw some great models and made some awesome deals on kits that we’d each been looking for. We sit down with show Co-Chair Greg Clower and he gives us a history of the show and the club.
D-ran is still MIA so we play shorthanded once again…anyone wanna take that 5th seat???
We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit more of the shows coming up this busy 2024 If you happen to see us at a show, set up at our table, come on over and say hello, we may even put you in front of the mic!
