    Jul 16 2025

    Jensen leads the Posse for a catch up with everyone sans TJ. We catch up and talk techniques, give each other a hard time, discuss upcoming model shows, and what each of us has been up to.

    We discuss where our respective SMC builds are at with less than 100 days until the show. We also discuss a question - does limiting your finish to only one or a couple of techniques impact the quality of your work? If you only use a paint brush, only use acrylics, only use an airbrush, etc... - does it affect the overall quality of your model?

    We also discuss our new Group Build for the AK M1008 Chevy Trucks sponsored by AK Interactive and Micro-World Games.

    Scott, TJ, and Grant fly a shortened route today as Jensen and JB are engaged elsewhere.

    We interview Stewart Rolfe, AKA Black Hat Scale Models and what an engaging conversation. Stewart talks to his motivations, his emphasis on traditional scratch building, and our mutual support for the Annual Model Officers' Mess 48 in 48 Event benefitting Model For Heroes.

    We also catch up with our Favorite Uncle, tearing him away from his latest project at the bench, and talk about his new Facade kit produced in conjunction with Faustus for RT Diorama. Martin gets into a lot of detail regarding the design and manufacturing of this new product, and hints that this might not be the only kit to be released...?

    We also discuss what Inspires us to initiate a project, to dive into something and pick that dusty model out of the stash and get going on it, and TJ leads us into a pep talk / discussion on overcoming fear and sharing our work with our peers, even at the best model shows in the world, and why this is a great idea!

  • Episode 116: Ilya Yut + When to pull the plug on a show build + What are your 3 “Pharaoh builds?”
    May 14 2025

    Send us a text

    Grant leads our full crew in a really fun show that has almost all of us eager to meet up at AMPS Nationals next week! (Sorry Grant)

    We have discussions on when is it OK to pull the plug on a show build, and if using shows as a motivating factor is healthy or not. We also dive into our own mortality as modelers, and ask the question, "What three builds are your “Pharaoh builds?” The Pharaohs of Egypt were famous for being buried with their earthly possessions and symbols of their accomplishments - so which three builds have you done that you would want archaeologists to find in 10,000 years buried with you?

    We also welcome back our friend Ilya Yut from Israel, and talk about his recent trip to Moson Show, and also catch up with him on new builds and his recent celebration of his 100th published model feature!!

    Join the Triple P as all 5 hosts talk scale modeling.

    We have a JUMBO episode for you this time out that features a new product highlight with Christian from Bases By Bill, get summaries from not one but two model shows that JB and TJ attended last weekend in Pittsburgh and Toronto, and we also have a very special conversation with John Spud Murphy and Peter Usher from the 4 Corners Modeling Club. We do a deep dive in Pete's amazing dioramas and also discuss many other topics about the hobby.

    We also have another go the ongoing debate over whether modeling is talent based to any degree - or whether anyone can do it at the highest levels with the right amount of dedication and practice.
