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 They keep the website up to date with new paint releases, and include historical references, a blog and a model gallery where they do an in-depth magazine style feature on different kits finished using their paints.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.

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.

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.

Topic
Changes in modelling over the years and the impact social media has had on styles, techniques and even subject matter - the rise of non-historic subjects (eg: film and TV models, sci fi, anime, etc.) and what the future holds.
My guess - WW1 and 2 subjects become more niche as truly historical in nature and entertainment subjects increase as modellers age out.
***************************************
WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - CF21 is complete. Working on some battle mechs as as well as the first of two Ornithopters from the latest Dune movie. Meng made a kit similar in quality to the Bandai micro Star Wars kits. The first one I built in a landed configuration. I should have added nose weight to it, but it’s going on a base so I can glue it down. I think the scale is around 1/200
[foogallery id="3618"]
Geoff - finishing off the Zeppelin vs Pterodactyls project, which has been fast and fun. I also put two articles together for IPMS Canada - on the Zeppelin project and my 1/32 Revell Lysander target tug. Now I’m back at the Moebius 1/144 Discovery from 2001 which is the subject of another long delayed article. My guilt at the delay finally forced me to get at it!
[foogallery id="3611"]
Terry - Moving along with the XP-47H. Looking good under some paint, so I am cautiously optimistic. The Haseagawa Regult is looking good under some paint as well.
[foogallery id="3623"]
***************************************
WHAT WE ARE READING
Geoff - Finished Bravo Three Zero by Des Powell - a good book about SAS operations in Desert Storm.
Stuart - The Year Without Summer:1816 and the Volcano That Darkened the World and Changed History
Terry - Finished Handmade. Very interesting, and more about how she interacts with the materials while making all these items, it’s a very personal book. Still reading the same other books as before, but deciding what to dive into next.

Stuart - YF-21 painted up. Decals are going on. Looking really good now. Going to be called the CF-21 Peregrine.
Moosaroo Cup needs to have pictures done this week.
Geoff - Wayward Zeppelin LZ77 is cruising above an uncharted tropical volcanic island near Iceland after being blown WAY off course during a raid in 1916. Harassed by Pteradons, their accompanying (don’t ask how they got there!) Fokker DR1 Triplanes cannot protect the doomed ship! Dinos and DR1’s are coming this week from fellow club modeller Ron, but it’s really coming along nicely - even with the required PE work!
Terry - Not a lot of time while I was traveling for business, at our plant so just a single hotel but still, not a ton of time. Big dinners are awful. On the plus side the Steam Deck is great for travel time. I did get some work done on a few projects, the P-47H is coming along, and I brought the 1/48 Jeep which comes with the Tamiya P-47M kit to the club meeting which was fun to work on. Getting the paint touched up a bit on the Regult so I can mask off grey areas.
***************************************
WHAT WE ARE READING
Stuart - The Year Without Summer:1816 and the Volcano That Darkened the World and Changed History
Geoff - Mostly online stuff about Zeppelins…. And plowing through a collection of Scale Model magazines going back to the 1970’s!
Terry - Started reading Anna Ploszajski’s Handmade: A Scientist’s Search for Meaning. She is a materials scientist who has chosen a number of materials and objects to describe while making things in workshops, like iron, glass, plastic, brass etc. Very interesting and I’ve been interested in materials science
I started reading the graphic novel omnibus of Fritz Lieber’s Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, which I think I signed up for via Kickstarter? This is a major influence on fantasy to come - like Elric etc.

Hey guys!
I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the show. I’ve been listening since last year and enjoy the topics and discussions.
I did want to ask a question. I too am a big fan of the Robotech/Macross series and especially the aircraft. I’ve heard that you guys get extras for your kits and wanted to know where you got them.
I’ve been reading the books that the show “The Expanse” was made from and really love them.
Thanks for the great show!

Hi Stuart and gang,
Just a quick line to say how much I’ve enjoyed listening to your podcast. It’s just like eavesdropping on a couple of buddies discussing their favourite builds and really keeps me entertained!
Given that it’s almost time for the Moosaroo Cup again (Go Stuart!) I thought I’d attach a couple of pics that I took while attending the original contest at the Warplane Heritage Museum, between Anthony and the “Podfather” David Goldfinch.
Please keep up the great work!

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Geoff - building the ancient 1/48 Lindbergh Snark and equipment kit. Pretty good molding given the age, but raised panel lines and rivets for sure - neither of which bothers me really. Lots of reinforcement is required internally though, as it’s quite large and the joins are not large. Putty too, but not a crazy amount. It’s my transition kit to non-aircraft models, as it has the launcher and tractor as well!
Stuart - Work continues on the YF-21 Good fit as is to be expected from this Hasegawa release. Lots of priming and painting of sub-assemblies lie ahead.
Terry - did not paint the Regult, it got a bit cold in my garage shop. I did do some work on the Halberd Models XP-47H, it’s as easy as expected from a Tamiya conversion.

Hi All at Scale Model Podcast.
Just want to thank you for a very informative and easy-listening podcast. It definitely helps me get through my days at work.
Just catching up on the latest episodes and heard the update from Scale ACT 2023. It was the 1st time I'd attended and was an amazing show! I met up with some people in person for the 1st time who I have talked to for a few years on Instagram. We ended up going out for some refreshing adult beverages both nights of the weekend. I can definitely understand it when people say that it's the people that make the shows.
During the episode, I heard you mention the Ram Kangaroo at the show. That was mine. It was the Gecko Models kit and it was a dream to put together. Here are a few more pics of it (attached).
Keep up the great podcasting!!

Enjoyed the latest podcast…
I went to Telford for the first time this year. Montreal has direct flights to LHR, and it’s about a 3 hour drive north-west from there.
There are three large halls, totalling about 100,000 sq.ft. The 170+ different clubs and SIGs were situated in the middle of the halls, and 120+ vendors around were on the outskirts and along the walls.
I displayed some models on the Danish SIG, and had a great time.
I spent waaaay over my budget, but I justify it saying ´I am saving on shipping costs…’

Hi’s and Lows of 2023

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Taking a brief break on the Moosaroo cup to figure out what I want to do in terms of the diorama. Got a larger base.
Battle mechs are almost completed and deciding what to build next. YF-21 Perhaps.
[foogallery id="3539"]
Terry - Finished the Christmas Birds. Sanded and resurfaced the Lamda carrier decks, they were a bit rougher than I would have liked. I think they may be ready. Also went back to the Hasegawa Regault kit. I think I have no choice but to build, mask and paint it. I had thought I could paint parts first, but that’s not going to work.

WHAT WE ARE READING
Stuart - Coming of Age in the Milky Way by Timothy Ferris. Just getting into the 20th Century.
Terry - Finished Ed Yong’s An Immense World. Reading the second Elric collection by Moorecock. Also still reading the Reacher series of Graphic Novels.

THINGS WE’VE SEEN
Luftraum/72 providing some interesting details on the painting of his F15-J
Terry did visit the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. Some nice collections of movie props, and a Leika Studios special exhibit.
The paint rack I got was the hanging rack from Lazy Dog Studio. If you look at options you will find the size you need. Pro Acryl is the medium size cutouts.

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Slow and steady on the Moosaroo Cup. The cab and back bed have been attached to the body. Wheels on later this week. I have some HO-scale sheep I want to add to the diorama. Primed with white, working on dry brushing next.
[foogallery id="3512"]
Geoff - struggling with rigging the 1/72 Airfix Handley Page 0/400 and got back to a shelf queen - a 1/72 Airfix Albatross DV in Richthofen livery. Also started playing with armour weathering on a Russian tank donated by Frank Donati of our London Club. Next though will be a Christmas project to build “something cool” for a grandson. Thinking about the SR75 Penetrator but in bright colours!
[foogallery id="3508"]
Terry - Got a good coat of NATO black on the Lamda carrier decks, and glosscoat over that. I’m debating whether I need to buff that or just paint markings. It depends on how many decals I will use vs. painting. Also working on this year’s Christmas Birds. About 90% done with them.
***************************************
WHAT WE ARE READING
Stuart - Coming of Age in the Milky Way by Timothy Ferris. Just starting the 19th century. It’s fascinating how some discoveries of things were done independently but also some would not have happened without the work done by previous generations.
Geoff - SAS Bravo Three Zero by Des Powell and Damien Lewis. Just started, but I already feel terribly inadequate when measured against the SAS!
Terry - Still reading Ed Yong’s An Immense World. Through hearing, elecrosensory and now into magnetic sense. It’s amazing how many senses are modifications of other nerve and chemosensory mechanisms.

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - More painting experiments with the battlemechs, mostly seeing what I can do with contrast paints and the airbrush. Moosaroo cup - Priming is done, and painting has started on some body parts.
Geoff - Continuing work on the Airfix 1/72 Handley Page 0-400, which is quite the bear! Mostly working on real world stuff like battening down the hatches for winter though.
Terry - some work on the Aldrin-class - mostly buffing paint at this point. I hope to get a good coat before masking and painting detail and panel colors. I did start one of Bandai’s Gamillon multi-deck carriers. It’s the four-deck Lambda carrier.

WHAT WE ARE READING
Stuart - Yomu ebook reader
Coming of Age in the Milky Way
Geoff - 1978 39 volume series of Time/Life History of WW2 - incredible pictorial record of the war in detail, with well written histories. Dipping in and out of various volumes - fun times!
Terry - Reading Ed Yong’s An Immense World, now into hearing. Blue Whales may correspond across the entire planet. Started another graphic novel series, Preacher by Garth Ennis. Maybe in the same universe as Lucifer and Constantine, I haven’t figured that out yet.
