    TJ is once again lost. If you see him, Jensen is offering a reward for information regarding his whereabouts. Scott, JB, Grant, and Jensen are joined by our good friend and TJ's arch nemesis, Aaron Kuck.

    We have a LOADED Episode 121 for you. We offer a humble tribute to Shinsaku Tamiya, and feature not one but two interviews for you. First off, we sit down for a long overdue chat with Scott Primeau, and talk about his award winning work including Ascension, which won BOS at both MMSI and the recent Tulsa Figure Show. Then we also catch up with our friend Peter Davis from Down Under about the upcoming Scale ACT 2025 show, which is there 25th anniversary show and looks to be a terrific show!

    We also discuss where our respective SMC builds are at with less than 90 days until the show. We also ponder a question - how does your work area/bench make you feel - does it encourage relaxation and productivity? Or does it drive you to the television? We also discuss our new Group Build for the AK M1008 Chevy Trucks sponsored by AK Interactive and Micro-World Games. Lastly we talk about Modeling Rituals - a topic suggested by Jon Bryon from the UK.

  • Episode 120: Is the quality of your work limited by only using one finish technique?
    Jul 16 2025

    Send us a text

    Send us a text

    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.

    Jun 11 2025

    Send us a text

    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!
