LATEST NEWS
AMPS National Show
Good afternoon guys. I was wondering if you could give our upcoming IPMS Houston show a mention in your upcoming Episodes. Our show is on May 4th. We have dual themes this year. May the 4th be with you (Star Wars) & Adversaries (natural combatants). We are also introducing a best of show mecha award. We are also implementing Gold, Silver & Bronze as well as feedback sheets.

On the F1 cars/advertising there are still some models out there that have the decals included; have a look at the instruction sheet for the Italeri McLaren https://www.scalemates.com/kits/italeri-4711-mclaren-mp4-2c--1328411 Page 40 (download)

I love the podcast, keep up the good work!
I was just listening to your banter with Terry about the only reason you like Special Hobbies being their tendency to keep their website up to date.
Which leads me to believe you might enjoy the website of Arcus Hobby Color, they are a long-time paint producer from Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine. They keep the website up to date with new paint releases, and include historical references, a blog and a model gallery where they do an in-depth magazine style feature on different kits finished using their paints.
Stay safe,
Joel from Mansfield in the UK

Good day Stuart,
I hope you're well.
Thank you for the podcast, which is excellent.
Geoff's Zeppelin diorama was 100% fun and I am sure the actual documentary record of this event was lost/destroyed prior to Germany's defeat in World War 1.
I have attached two pictures from the latest issue of New Scientist magazine (a weekly science magazine from here in the UK, which I believe is available in Canada). The feature of interest, "The Power of Solitude" suggests our solitary hobby is good for our health if you exclude the chemicals we may be breathing in! The term used is "crafting solitude" where we carry out a meaningful solitary activity which reduces stress and anxiety and improves relaxation.
Here in the UK some doctors working in our National Health Service ( still 'free' at the point of delivery) do social prescribing linking people to activities and social groups to improve well-being. Help for Heroes has already established that model making helps with mental health.
So maybe the next time I visit my GP, I will be prescribed an Airfix model kit!
Best wishes to the team.

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Real Life going on so not a ton of bench time. Some more mechs are being painted.
Starting the Hasegawa F-15J in 1/72nd. Got the front end almost done and then had to deal with a short shot in the area of the gun port.
Another RCAF what-if? Perhaps…
My order from China came in, got the Dspaie circular sander.
Geoff - Did two articles for IPMS Canada covering the Moebius Discovery and HAL kits and (of course) the completely truthful Zeppelin build, and with ALL my obligations for writing completed, I decided to start some new ones! Resurrecting old built up kits, with a resin Martin Mars water bomber and having fun with old kits, with a 1977 Revell 1/144 Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and Space Shuttle. Also plugging away on an older 1/48 Sukhoi Su-25 and a resin 1/144X B70 Valkyrie and X108 Rapier, just because I saw them at Heritagecon and desired them - busy!
Terry - not a lot of progress, but working on numerous items. Decals done on the XP-47H, and some painting on the Regult. Plus, bits and pieces here and there on other kits. I’ve been travelling a bit, and getting other things done around the house.
Starting to work on the schedule for Wonderfest vehicle demos. Some first-time presenters again this year, plus the return of Bauble Young.

"There’s Always Room for Improvement!”
Welcome to Episode 76 of The Modelgeeks Podcast! In this episode, we kick off with what we are in work on, what new items are out there, and what we have picked up lately. D-ran and Whitey touch briefly of their recent trip up to MosquitoCon32 but for more on that go back and check out last weeks “off timeline” drop of the MosquitoCon32 Wrap Up show. El-Presidenté will tell us “What’s New in 72!”, and we’ll end with a discussion on what we think each of us can or would like to improve upon in each of our model building skillsets.
We also had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Jefferey Garrity, THE RARE-PLANE DETECTIVE of Rare-Plane Detective hobby store…a repository, data base, and archive of hard-to-find model kits and aftermarket. If you’re hitting a hobby show on the East Coast, West Coast, anywhere in between, and Parts Unknown, chances are Jeff and his sidekick Winston and helpful assistant Liz are going to be there in the vending area offering up all the HTF and even the latest kits at “Hobby Show Prices”!

Revisiting the AMPS National Convention: A Journey of Models, Memories, and Community
Nearly two decades had passed since Mike and Kentucky Dave ventured into the AMPS International Convention, an arena for the most ardent armor model enthusiasts. Expect the unexpected as we recount the warm community embrace, the surprising evolution of the event, and the tingle of nostalgia mixed with the excitement of the new. From the detailed discussions of model entries to the joy of vendor discoveries, this episode is a rendezvous with memories, a treasure trove of modeling tales, and a reminder that the joy of the hobby often lies beyond the workbench.
Our special guest, Mike Radjke, aka agent 001, infiltrates the conversation with his inaugural take on the AMPS armor kit competition. It's a candid chat about the thrill of the showcase, the intricacies of competition entries, and the shared passion that fuels this community. Mike's tale is one of fresh eyes upon an established scene, a narrative that adds depth as we swap stories of restraint, indulgence, and the occasional modeling "aha" moment that strikes when least expected.
As we put the finishing touches on this episode, we offer our collective musings on the exceptional quality of models at AMPS 2024, the delightful increase in diverse scales, and the heartfelt camaraderie that makes these events more than just shows—they're experiences. So, whether you're a seasoned modeler or new to the scene, join us for a celebration of the art form, and an invitation to future adventures in Harrisburg, because as we all know, while the kits are plenty, it's the time to savor them that counts.

Brandon Jacob, agent 003
Steve Lee, agent 002

Follow the Instructions: Episode 113
Ever wonder how a modeler's passion stays ignited through every meticulous build? Grab your favorite modeling fluid and join Mike and Kentucky Dave as they traverse the ins and outs of keeping our scale-modeling fires burning. From the details on new P38 book from Detail and Scale to the fascinating finds at HeritageCon, we cover it all. And while we're sharing a toast to our recent endeavors with a delightful black cherry hard cider and a smooth Bulleit bourbon, we'll delve into the importance of crystal-clear model instructions – a heartfelt shout-out to Flyhawk's BT-7 kit for leading by example.
Scale modeling isn't just about the kits; it's about the journey and the community. In this episode, we'll get caught up with our Canadian friend Ian MacAulay at HeritageCon, where we're also joined by the insightful John Chung, who reveals the transformative experience of shifting from space shuttle builds to mastering the F-16. We'll reminisce about the camaraderie at HeritageCon, touch upon the trials of complex armor kit assembly, and ponder over the reflective moments post-completion. Our benchtop adventures are a testament to the joys and lessons learned from each project – something every modeler can resonate with.
To cap it off, we'll share the latest from our benchtops: the completion of a Trumpeter LCM3 kit and the anticipation of fresh enhancements to the SAM model, all thanks to nifty CAD work. We're not just about the models, though; we're also about creative solutions and inspirations, like transforming an imperfect kit into a glossy die-cast toy replica. So, whether you're a seasoned builder or new to the craft, this episode is brimming with the kind of shared wisdom, expertise, and unexpected joys that can only come from true devotees of the hobby.

Hey guys,
Listening to the last episode I feel obligated to let you know about Paint Rack. I first heard about it on OTB episode 174 when the boys down under interviewed the designer. It’s a great way to keep track of your paint. You can scan your bottles and the search function works really well too. It has a good set of colour tools. No more buying paint you already have.

Keep up the great work.

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Finished the Dune Ornithopters, Great little kits. I am also working on painting the bases for the USS Dallas and Typhoon class 1/700 subs. Other projects include painting mini’s both Battletech and some fantasy clerics. It’s nice to have a break from more complex kits; these projects have been doing that for me. Now to decide what I’m going to do next……
Anthony - 1/72 UN Spacey Legioss, Finished a No-paint HG RX-78, the Gundam Hazel, and a few more Shelf/Box Queen projects in the works!
[foogallery id="3640"]
Terry -
Masks off, next up decals! Those fuselage cooler doors mean insignia needs to be cut up a bit, fortunately, I have an abundance of those insignia.
Blue was a primer coat of AV Wolf Grey (Maybe my most-used color) followed by Tamiya blue - I added some flat base to help with opacity, but wow it was too much. I'll never learn with Tamiya flat. Followed by Tamiya gloss blue, so it's like 5 coats of thinned paint. I think a second coat of gloss over that will be needed, and will help with the markings too. I have a set of P-47 stencils, and I'll use them on this project since I want it to be a production aircraft. I also have an idea for the shark mouth.
I see a couple of things I should address, but won't.
