Now, we were chatting about this just before
we... You... You hit the record button. But
yeah. We will not be able to chat
about whatever
interesting things develop at the Us nationals and
in, in know a week and a half,
until September, but we can probably deal with
all that on the on the Facebook. Yeah.
If something... If something serious happens, we'll definitely
cover it on Facebook and we'll. Yeah. We'll
the podcast guys.
Take that stuff. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
But we are... Are there's a few challenge
coins making their way... Making their way down

to see what comes out of that too.
And all sorts of exciting things. But for
all those of you going to nationals. So
I hope you have a good time safe
journey.
You don't go completely bankrupt up in the
vendor room. Mh. Absolutely now you now done...
Now, I think Jeff, you're mentioning on our
last build night. Do you you saw the
map.
That's incredible. Absolutely incredible. It it was on
1 of the... It's on the the Facebook
group for the the the Na. And Think
Jeff Jeff Her posted it and what I...
It's... First of all it's a huge building
that they're gonna have it in. Mh. But
secondly,
holy macro, there's a lot of vendors coming
into this thing. Yeah. This is gonna be
you... I I think as you described it,
the world's greatest a hobby shop for 4
days. Yep. Well world's largest hobby shop for
4 days. That's the way they they describe
it. So, yeah, There'll be a lot of
fun. I... That reminds me. I gotta get
my list to Frank.
There's a couple of things. Can you have
a list? Okay.
List. The there there is... It's just actually
only 1 thing. It's the
Alicia grant Alicia grandfather.
Served in the war He was a doctor
he worked with ban.
And he was in a crash of a,
of a b 24 a Gander.
And they actually were what the dough, you
know, they recovered his body just after the
crash, but they actually recently dove down there
again and
I think had ward used the Has molding,
It's called riders of the storm, and it's
actually an aircraft from the same squadron.
So if I see it, I want... I
wanna frank to pick it up. It's not
too unreasonable and I can easily adapt it.
Because got everything it's exactly that squad and
exactly that aircraft. Now you gave me a
nice b 24 2. So if I can,
I can always also adapt that as well,
but This 1 apparently has got all the
goodies 1 needs and it builds up quite
well apparently? So I'd like to do that
as a
membership build for
Grandfather. So it's 1 of those ones that
if it's a good deal if I up
upon it, then I'll get it. A I'm
not like us gonna pay, you know, crazy
prices and all that. Like, the 5 bucks
or something that's crazy for. It's fine crazy.
Well, I think it goes for over... It
goes for over a hundred. It's been out
for a while, but it's... They don't make
them anymore. It's a big 40, 70 second
scale, beats will 4, and it's got, like
I say, the the number 10 squadron from
the Rca f. So
That's what I'm looking for, but we'll see.
Anyway, let's get on get... You should get

later, But let's let's let's get on with
the hobby news.
First of all, very important thing here, shape
ways is filed for bankruptcy.
No big surprised. They were over pricing for
a while, but they were 1 of the
original 3 d printing companies
that you would... People would
have their various 3 d files on, and
then 1 could go on there and order
a printout out. Mh. But... Yeah, They they
weren't keeping with the times. They had a
lot of older printers.
So
and people in that space are saying, yeah,
no big surprise there. It's just a matter
of where will some of these vendors now
now now go
although a lot of them now now print
their own or use other services.
Yeah. I I check hero forge where you
can design your own gaming miniature and such.
Yep. And actually print color and such, and
they say physical manager miniature orders are on
hold. I note because you get boxes from.
Shape ways if you order from hero forge.
Right. Right.
Yeah. It'll be interesting to see who picks
up the bits and pieces from that Mh.
Mh. So, yep. I'm sure there's a... You

pen. I gotta tell you though. I realize
realizes it's not, but it looks like a
fountain pen full booster. Yep.
Because when you gotta fold, he may as
will do it with a booster directly. It's
not Star Wars where everything's like jump capable.
I know. Little single seat fighters. Now they
need help. Any hint. When you wanna when

It's funny. You know, I've going to
Facebook.
I think we talked about this before. But
Facebook, the Facebook algorithm constantly updates depending on
what you look at. On
marketplace.
And so I was with babysitting city my
grandson and he loves cars. And so we
were looking at various... As he calls them,
fancy cars.
Cool on Facebook on Facebook marketplace. So we
were clicking on some of these things... And
all of a sudden, I'm getting all these
cars on Facebook marketplace coming up, and they're
all like, crazy expensive. Cars. Someone just actually
selling... I don't even know what camera remember
what it was, but they're selling this thing,
and it looks amazing.
For 1200000.0
on Facebook market.
I mean, he's well, advertise, I guess. Yeah.
Guess That's that's gotta be all it is
anyway. Well, you know, the kids are into
that now But, you know what? I've been
seeing ads for Land rover.
Same thing. Yeah. Auto dot com, but it's
all land rover. They're showing me. So I
don't remember how... Doing searches on that, but
obviously, I did or I mentioned it at
some point.
Yeah. It's probably they're just following the show.
Maybe. Maybe. Exactly.
Okay. Let's talk about another cool guy. Our
good friend is. Our good friend, Steve at
Cold Tv man with lots of great deals.
Here we go.
Let's see what's new and exciting from our
good friend, Steve at C tv, man. First
of all, they're gonna be at the Ip
national convention or Naps as we call it.
July seventeenth to twentieth.
The best of the best are they're gonna
be there. They're gonna be in the vendors
room along with their friends from Black Heart
models.
They're looking forward to seeing many of their
customers and friends. They're gonna have 4 tables
of spaceships, monsters, including all your favorite star
trek, Star Wars 2001
space 19 99
and classic models. They'll be bringing kits from.
Am Polar lights, Atlanta Mpc Band I plus
aftermarket parts from Aztec dummy,
paragraph,
antenna control, voodoo Fx and more. Make sure
you, stop by there and tell them that
Stewart from the scale model podcast sent you.
They also got some of the pre orders,
some new arrivals. They've been busy packing getting
those
out to customers.
The source the beast from 20000 fathom from
X plus, due to T. That's the big
on,
1 70 second scale from Meng,

And the June Paul the treaties from the
latest June minis series

Definitely worth checking out, and there's always. They
got all sorts of new stuff. They got
paint masks for the 2001
space station coming in.
You've got just
Oo and Oo.
So the
2001
space station, 2601
to 2600
scale them in the paint mask. They are
on back order, but you can join the
waiting list, and they'll get those to you
as soon as they come in. So make
sure you check out
all the exciting new things, and don't forget
to see them at Nat.
Remember that's called tv v man shop dot
com and call tv v man dot com.
And tell them the scale model podcast sent
you. Okay. What's on the bench? I haven't
had much time, but I'm getting... I'm getting
there. You know I'm finding, working on the
Cmo has really
shown me, you know, really break break things
down into small projects.
You know, kinda focus on, you know, a
little bit like that. And it's it... It's
working.
So I got the turret put together, got
them painted the blast bags and
the gray put on. The only thing I've
left off are the little tiny angie aircraft
guns because they're a little bit too fragile.
I'll wait till I got the turn mounted
and all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've got
2 out of the 3 decks on. Technically,
1. I've got a... I've I've dry fitted
the other 1. And I've gotta glue it
now, the the center 1.
And then when I get the other third
1 on, then going on will be the
aftermarket
wood deck. And then I can put on
all the other other little bits that I've
painted. So it It is it is coming
along. Quite What are plans for... Like, how
do you plan on gluing the wood deck
down? And I... Is there a way? Some
people some people
have said super gl. Some people have said
regular glue. I believe Harold from our club
said regular white glue.
I'm not sure. Apparently, it is that he.
I've seen some... A lot of Youtube videos
are saying you super clue. C gl. So...
There's also stuff like hobby tech and such
contact cement that... Yeah.
That's kinda what I was wondering. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm gonna do some research on that before
I put on. So first time I've done
it.
Yeah. So, yeah, If you're gonna go why
not start big. At least it didn't cost
me a ton of. I screw it up.
And if I do... If I do screw
it up, the actual deck itself, the plastic
has wood the wood thing engraved, and I
could. But I'm trying to do this save
me a ton of masking.
Because it's Yeah. I I don't think it'll
look nicer or too. Yeah. I think it
will too. So I know It's it it
it is it is coming along. It's apparently
simple build actually, which reflects the time it
was built. Like, I'm sure the new... What
is it? The border or the brand new,
who's made the someone's made a brand new
1 03:50. I think it was... Well, then
there's a 200 scale 1 as well... Yeah.
And they're both highly complex and a lot
more you know, but that's that's too much
for me. I I wouldn't I couldn't justify
it, and I wouldn't do I wouldn't do
a a good enough job to justify the
price.
On. Yeah... For this 1, I'm enjoying. And
since are kind of the epitome of sub
assemblies. Yeah. Exactly. Now 1 thing I have
realized I can see why people like buying
the aftermarket barrels.
Because, you know, the plastic 1 0 right,
but you do notice that that the caps
on, you know, there's no hollow thing. So
you either have to paint or do something
to put, like there's a cap on it.
Yeah where I... So I can see that.
So, you know, I have a feeling probably
when I build the
the fletcher.
I'm probably gonna look at... I don't think
it came with brass barrels, but I might
look at that for the 5 inch guns.
Just I think it does make enough enough
of a, of a difference. So... Yeah. Doing
that. And then
I was bad again, the bra deal sale
I can't even say I went in for
paint.
Because I didn't... I didn't buy any paint.
So
It been on my... It was on the
shelf, and it was still there when it
went to 20 percent off. So I bought
a Cut,
Brian Lane Mark 1 spit fire and 01:30
second scale.
I bought out because of course, I saw
Terry when he he brought his a couple
of years back to Heritage Khan, and it
is an absolutely beautiful kits got a resin
of the pilot resin figure.
The instructions are absolutely gorgeous. I'm gonna do
an inbox review at some point.
So I bought that. We also had a
partially started match box 01:30 second L kit.
That's the 1 like Jet built a wall
back. Yep.
Partially started 20 bucks, and it's in pretty
good shape. Can't go wrong. It's 1 of
those wanted when I was a kid I
saw that, and I drilled over in the
shop window a few times.
And then something new for me, off there
off their red red red tag sale or
whatever,
where you... If you buy 1 thing, you
get 10 percent 2 things you get 20
all the way up to 5 things.
They had a Tam 01:12 Suzuki rg g
02:50
motorcycle. I I've never built a motorcycle kit.
And it's me One's do fast. So this
was a good deal. I got it for
50 percent off, bought a couple other
dia and terrain stuff for the other 4
items. So,
yeah. So that'll that that that'll be interesting.
And then, of course, coming soon. Where the
hell am I gonna put all these?
Between that and the Bentley, and, yeah. Exactly.
So we... We'll you'll you'll have to stay
tuned and find out. Yeah. Jeff. What about
you, sir?
Well, I'd say, as I noted in the
notes it's summer, and I've done a lot...
There's a lot of stuff being done outside
and working on the house and this that
the other in babysitting sitting. That's another thing
too.
I too went to Brook. I can't remember.
I don't remember if we talked about this
at the show, the last show or whether
we did it
during our build night. Probably we did We
did it during our build night. Yeah. But
I did... III
applied the stewart to
the stewart approach to
bringing down the discount or raising the discount
percentage.
Bought a whole bunch of little crap, and
then I bought myself a near fit. X
01:48 scale bucket of your kit. Beautiful. New
berry and really nice kit. And it's lot
of bets to it. Now we should We
should also point how you... Not only did
you go in the store and do that,
but you also had your lovely wife and
your youngest daughter with you. Yes. Just because
I was leaving you were pulling in... And
we almost did each other in the parking
lot. Yes. Almost actually. He was supervised though.
I was supervised. Although, it was interesting. We
went in there. And I was talking to
to Brian or to,
Richard, Richard.
Almost blank on my head there. I talk
thinking about my brother.
Almost it's spent a lot time chatting with
Richard And as I'm chatting with Richard, my
wife and daughter or wandering around the store,
looking at everything else and basically talking about
God knows sweat. And then Richard mentioned,
well, it's nice to meet your family,
but I won't mention... I won't let them
know. They haven't discovered yet that there's a
bakery just around the corner, and they have
the most wonderful muffins and my daughter, literally,
the halfway down the store popped your head
over the stack of models since said. Muffins.
It's almost say there are muffins. Muffin. Here
boom, off they went. So
Have to remember that when Alicia Alicia is
more healthy.
Apparently it's a really good bakery. So... Yeah.
I heard great things about it. Yeah. But,
anyway, no. That... So that was fun. And...
Yeah. I did... I bought the same kind
of Ira around bits. They're lowest price things
I could find and then drop the drop
the discount or raise a discount up to
50 percent off got got the whole batch
for less than a hundred bucks canoe. Well,
there's some good deals there. Like, they had
a bunch of spit fire kits and some
other stuff, and I would've taken advantage of
it. If I haven't already got so many
48 skilled spit fires I did see a
nice... There's is a special hobby c fury.
And even at the 50 percent off, it
still would have been around 45 bucks. I
just couldn't quite As I told Richard, that
was a bridge too far.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was... What was
interesting chatting with Richard He did mention that,
He's looking forward to being retired doing this
for, like, 35 years or something to that
effect. Yep. And
we may see him at the
Our club has the, in person build nights
every Wednesday night, and whom bill Nights the
same every Wednesday night.
Called gray butts. And he says, I maybe
wind up seeing you guys a great. Excellent.
Good stuff. Good stuff. Well, I did have
the offer when I was in there. I
did have an opportunity to meet the brand
new owner. Yeah. So the the store has
is gonna be changing hands.
I'm not gonna say anything else else right
now. I'll leave it up up to them
to make an announcement. But
the story is going to remain open even
after richard's retired, so that's good news. So
we're we're wishing the owner good luck. We
might get him on the show in the
ball.
That'd be great. It'd be nice. Yeah. I
think it'll be good good to see you
know, get get an opinion there. Especially when
you're taking over a long established business.
Yep. So the sale goes, so if you're
local, the sale goes brought sales until the
end of the month. So make sure you
take advantage. Get some more details on Facebook
or r r hobby dot c a. Yep.
Yep. And
with respect to what I've actually got on
my bench, I'm still working on the
the the frog foot this,
ukraine... It's not Ukraine Russian. I don't know
It's an ancient mold. Right. But it's actually
a pretty good mold. I think I talked
about that once before. And I'm also
getting to the paint stage on the goblin,
x f 85 goblin, the little parasite fighter
from the b 36 era. Mh.
The most important thing that I did in
the last 2 weeks. So so we had
a new a new club member expressed interest
in joining the group, and he he joined
us on their Facebook,
or on our Zoom call at last Wednesday
night. Mh. And he had
he had asked if anybody had an air
fix hand page o 400 kit because he
wanted to build it as it you. How
what a coincidence?
And Doesn't
Yeah. Exactly. I said, well, I have 1
with a few parts, Missing because Stuart was
kind enough to donate it to my cost
when I was working on my hand page.
And he said he'd be fine because he's
pretty comfortable fabric parts.
And then during our conversation and the bill
date,
I mean, it came up that I had
an affinity for a certain type of aircraft.
No as, you know, lighter than their vehicles
ZIEZ.
Yes. Yes. And he said, oh, well I
had picked up at a garage sail, a
hawk, 1 02:47
scale graft z kit. This plastic kit. I
said, well, I've got this 1 200 scale
and paper. And he said says, well, would
you like a plastic 1? I said, yes,
I would. So basically, now I have
this massive freaking fox.
It's great. It's great. So thanks very much,
Kevin. That was a was a very good
trade for... I think for both of us.
We both came out well on that. I
remember when you posted the the box on
on Facebook late. It brought back. I remember
it now. Remember seeing it in some stores
of that. Thing was massive.
So, yes. More z.
And it's got lighting in it too, which
is interesting. And I didn't I've been... I
started doing the research. I didn't realize there
were 2 graphs siblings.
Yeah. There was the first 1 which was
probably the most successful airship. Ever,
as far as traveling, but it never carried,
you know, much in the way of paying
customers
because it was
hydro... It was helium. Helium. It was the
only 1 they did with helium, and then
they came up with a graph 2,
which they finished just before the outbreak of
World war 2,
and it was
essentially, it was exactly the same design as
the Hindenburg and when the Hindenburg crashed well,
so did the graphs up
Gotta put it that to that. People people
get a bit nervous when they see what
what Hydrogen do. Oh.
Behold humility.
So that's all I've been That's what I've
been doing okay. Well, you've been you've been
busy. That's good. But, we, we we
we... The fans approve.
Sure. Alright. Mister Terry.
Yeah. Working on the dread dots. It's pretty
much just working on the dread nuts. In
the last couple of weeks here
in the paint booth, and now I'm kind
of
I'm pretty happy with how that
worked out un mask the experimental orange and
white
version and
surprisingly
not surprisingly in a couple places I should
have done better.
But
dealing with mass skin cuts and things like
that, But,
overall, very good.
Not a whole lot of cleanup to do.
Mh.
And now I'm I'm doing stuff like the
detail bits and, like, the gun med kinda
places, things like that.
And lining. So I've been doing panel lining
for a while now.
Just mostly just using the India inc in
future because it It's nice, dark and works
really well on these kind of things. Right.
What
yeah.
Just gonna say, while the cut the paint
up looks amazing and you've got me all
excited about trying that technique. So I'm gonna
understand The on the red 1, I did
the
complementary color technique. And I don't know. I
I think the
the pictures of made it of show notes
if not, I'll make sure you get copies
of those. Yeah. Please. So they've been shared
on on the Facebook page and... Yeah. The
looking good. That it can really, really good.
Yeah. It gives a lot of color depth
rather than black, which is kinda mud it.
It it's
It's like cancels out. You know, it's, like
the opposite. So it it cancels out the
color and just gives a lot of depth.
Right. Very cool.
Yeah. So
I've been... I I have must have been
doing that. A little bit of building on
that ph because I wanna do
try the same paint techniques on that. Right.
Right.
Very cool. Alrighty. Very nice. Alright. What we're
reading? I'm still reading the same 2 things.
Getting getting through them, clear thinking, turning ordinary
moments into extraordinary results by Shane Parish,
and a couple of chapters into D day
by Martin Go and I am already really
enjoying that. Martin's is a really good historical
writer. He's got a lot of stuff out
there. I don't know where he finds time
to write it all, but he does. So
highly
Highly recommend both of them. Hopefully I'll get
caught up, get a few more titles under
the belt during during the summer.
Jeff?
Yeah. I have been going kinda of crazy
as far as I was reading goes.
I picked up
over at...
Oh, is it not dollar store, but
Don't tree... No. It's not dollar tree. It's
the 1 where... It's just it's like it's
like goodwill, but it's not goodwill. Oh, okay.
Anyway,
anyway, they have books amongst other things.
And I I was my daughter loves to
go there and buy weird things because they
can buy weird things cheap, and you don't
feel guilty it. Mh.
So my wife and I went over with
her on her to give her a day
out, and I wound up buying a whole
bunch of books. So I picked up the
Johns
flood, which is by David Mc, and a
American writer, historian
pulitzer prize winner for for Truman and 17
70 I think it was... I know he
was written a whole bunch of great books
and I love his writing.
And I didn't know anything about this. This
is Georgetown Pennsylvania, and it was
happened in the end of the 18
18 hundreds,
when a
an artificial damned lake,
basically, the damn gave out. And it the
only reason the dam had been rebuilt,
it had given out before. It was rebuilt
because
the Carnegie and all the rich guys from
various places decided they wanted to go fishing.
And so they built a lake. They stocked
it. They got rid of the spill way
and put a big fish barrier over the
spill way. So nothing could get out of
the lake, because they didn't want their expensive
fish to go down to the H.
Hoops sent. And and and then they had
the worst weather in, like, a century, and
There was a... It was an earth and
dam. The water crust the dam right in
the center and washed it completely out. Mh.
And you. And you had a tidal wave
of roughly 76 feet high,
go care down these valleys and take out
the town of Johns plus a couple of
other smaller settlements on the world.
To 2 2200 people died
in a town that was, like, maybe 20000
people to start with. Mh. And it was
just a a nightmare, and it's... Anyway, very
interesting story,
definitely worth reading, highly recommended it, and it's
actually not a really long book either. It's
a A good quick read. The other 1
I picked up another Ain't another 1 I
picked up was the lost city of the
Monkey gods,
Monkey god, by Douglas Preston,
who is,
Preston and Child, famous for.
The the relic and various other books that
they've written over the years.
Anyway, and this was about the the... The
use of Lidar technology
to uncover a hidden city in the Central
American jungles, and I think it was Honduras.
Very interesting story as well. And... But it
was also... It wasn't just that. It was
also the story about
about
parasitic diseases because he caught 1,
and essentially, she... It wasn't just a isis,
but it was something essentially that would eventually
eat his face off.
Hate when that happens. I know. I don't
know. And there's no there's no
consistent treatment because it affects everybody differently depending
on genetic makeup piece. This is why I
don't go down there. It's... And or live
anywhere that doesn't get a good hard freeze
Yeah. Because things will eat your face off.
I'm. Yeah. Exactly. I'll take triggers any day.
Yeah. But the the infuriating thing about it
is it's 1 of these diseases, and there
are a number of parasitic diseases.
That,
kill
millions and millions of people and name millions
of millions of people annually around the world
But the drug companies absolutely have no interest
in in working up any kind of solutions
for them. Exactly. These there's no money in
it. They're all poor.
They're all poor people that die.
So it's kind of 1 of those kinds
of stories that makes you infuriated This guy
got all the treat best treatment in the
world from the National Institute of health as
because they were they were treated as an
experimental group, and it was free.
Mh. And also because he's a major writer.
Yeah. If you you kinda get a little.
Little pissed about that. Yep. Yeah.
Anyway, the last 1 I picked up was
another 1
called the danger tree, and I picked it
up just speak because on the front, it
was highly recommended as in gross pros I
haven't read in grossing pros too often.
And it's a really en grossing
well written beautiful story, of family history,
from Newfoundland,
about basically the history of Newfoundland,
and world war 1, and, because world war
1, there was a a, huge number of
guys from Newfoundland who signed up just to
get the hell from Newfoundland.
And nobody came back. Yeah.
Yeah. Anyway, very interesting story.
It's great time to reading the hammock by
the lake. That's what I was doing today.
Very nice. Very good. I always thought in
in gross pros was was all your articles
for for Rt t and beaver tales. That
that doesn't qualify. No okay. This is This
is really fun. It's a... It's it's it's
sad, fun, interesting,
true. It's kinda like you you recognize recognized
a lot of these people from families that
you'd known, including your own. That kind of
rain. Anyway cool. Okay. Recommended. Awesome. Terry. How
about you, sir?
Still reading. I'm in, book 2 of Adrian
in Tc shards of earth series,
20 percent in, and I think, I... This
guy's His wheelhouse is all it Alien, human
and
unknown. Right. Yep. It's fantastic.
Just the
the the shards... It's like shards of earth.
Is the the title of the first book,
and it really is. Human humanity has split
into
various groups as well. It's not like, doom
far future where
where they're
almost different species by that point. Mh.
It... It's not that. It's it's political.
And the aliens are are part of that
as well, and it's
On I don't know where this is going.
III say that with everything because it's it's
too early to tell. It's it's already shifting.
Very cool. Okay. And then I'm reading the
hell, Omni bus.
At that time. It's it's a great foot.
And trying to catch up on
some issues of science and scientific Americans instead
of just sitting there playing on the ipad
while Yeah eating breakfast or something. Yeah. I
gotta do more more more of that. Too
just kinda, you know, just instead of mindless
scrolling Facebook or... Yeah.
These things to
tell people
all the time times. Like, well, you don't
keep up with this.
Exactly. I used to love scientific American. I
mean, my dad had a subscription for since
the mid sixties. And It's still solid. It's
still really it's such a good magazine and
and
half at least half the articles, I can't
quite figure out
can't quite figure out what they're talking about
half the time. But
but even at that, I still feel smarter
at the end of reading it. Yep. Yep.
Exactly.
Well, I rarely in... I get science as
well. And that's a weekly in my Gods.
It's just so much material. Yeah. I rarely
go in and
read the research articles because those are,
you know, those are well above, but all
the summaries and everything else in the news
is is fantastic. And just articles.
Yeah.
Research papers
in something like science can be... If if
I'm familiar enough with the field,
I can get something out of it. Otherwise,
I'll I'll just go and look at
the bits and pieces that I can get
out of it. Very Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.
I think if we spent less time on
social media more time
going through some hard hard stuff like that.
I think the world would be a much
better place Yeah.
Okay. Also making the world a much better
place Our buddy Sean from Sean's custom model
tools.
Let's see what he has to say today.
Now we're gonna talk a bit about Sean's
custom model tools, 1 of our other sponsors
of the scale model podcast.
Some very cool things, both 3 d printed
and the Goodman super sanding blocks.
Let's start with the micro set micro soul
D cal set bottle stand.
This is
purposely designed for the micro scale set and
soul.
Most models over the years. They've tipped these
bottles over. So,
this is a very handy thing at 14
95.
You can put them both together. They're printed
in blue and red for easy identification. Comes
with a black based, and they're actually have
little magnets on it. So helps keeps them
in place. Definitely a good deal. I use
mine the time, and I can well recommend
them. Let's talk a bit about those goodman
model super sanding blocks. Namely the value pack
combo for 28 99.
You get the 80 grit, 1 80 grit,
02/23/2406
hundred
just an amazing set,
just what you need, and you can also...
If you want, you can also get a
sanding super sanding block stand it, which also
really makes life a little bit easier, helps
helps things keep it organized.
The other thing too is they have, they
have the awesome model tape dispenser
for,
your various tapes. It's basically A3D printed thing.
You put spool of your tape. Got a
little razor blade to help cut it, and
it's
really, really good design.
So, yeah, works out really well and yours
for 19 95.
So check out these and other amazing deals
at Sean's custom model tools dot com,
and also on Facebook and tell them that
the scale model podcast sent you. Okay. The
things we say. Sean's
Sean's tape dispenser.
Yeah. I got, you know, perform Y service
on these yeah. This... I love that experimental
dread not. I love that thing. That tape
dispenser with the razor blade. It's just... Yeah.
Utility blade. You can't you can't beat it.
Okay. Edward has their latest info Magazine.
Considering this is this is like a combination
magazine and catalog. They do every month.
Considering it's free, it's excellent quality. We've covered
it before.
So they... This time they're talking about Australian
Mark 16 spit fires,
Icc Red Do.
So BF10 nines fall 1 nineties,
some articles on the oil cam paying a
mustang, a bull, mustang day,
aerial war in Ukraine, Russian airports under fire.
So
lots of good stuff, and, of course, all
the, some pictures
always good to see what they're working on.
They did mention they are working on p
forties,
01:48
scale, so their work continue on that. I
know a lot of people are excited about
that. Those are all gonna be new tools.
Oh, what's the... I don't think you the
the model Ta hawk
flu. Oh, this one's e. Yeah. Starting on
the e. Yeah. But you have to kit
bash dash, like, 3 kits
to make 1 of those and I forget
what it was. Like, okay or something like
that. I'm sure they will. I won't be
Served. Yeah. They're they're.
Yep. They're they're they're they're pretty good.
They're also working on molds for other versions
of 0VA6M5A6M7
and a 2 seat A6M2
dash k,
as well as molds for the mig 21
f. Both are projects for next year.
Zeros will be introduced in the first half
of the year and the mig 21 in
the second half. So absolutely no need for
us to worry about
abandoning those those projects.
So, there we go. So, yeah,
the p 40 is currently what's the technologist
development of the molds is underway as well
as minor
modifications to the structure.
I am assuming the second half of July
I will see the first molds.
And on e day at the end of
temper, the plastic will be available for viewing.
At that time, the plastic may not be
complete but 3 or 4 screws out of
a total of 6.
Cool. And November and Tel ford, we might
be introduced in the complete kit and selling
it. In prep production form and white in
white box is similar to what they did
for the mustang at Easter.
So again, Wall worth checking his editorial always
get every month. A good kinda what they're
doing behind the scenes,
stuff like that. They have some good articles.
If you're a mustang fan.
This one's definitely a must download.
They they they they they take a ride
in some re restored ones, etcetera.
Ton of pictures
definitely worth worth worth worth checking out. So
that is from edward ward.
Okay. And
what's the space in miniature?
Hey space in miniature, Mike.
Does these great. At you a space
dot com and you'll get a collection of
some of the best reference material for real
space subjects that you're gonna ever want. Yeah.
And I have been waiting,
and looking for research material on the Saturn
5 as I slowly build up the nerve
to start building some of my... I have
a couple of saturn five's lying around. Mh.
And he he has recently the most recent
space and miniature series number 10 is on
the Saturn 5. A guide for scale model
builders. It's not a history of the wrong
rocket. It's not a developmental history. It is
purely information for model builders,
and
it... On, on that
on that basis, it score very highly. I
highly recommend this. Yeah. It's good stuff. It's
really good stuff, and it's really helpful. Great
pictures, color pictures
in the Pdf version that I've got. Now
I understand the a paper version if you
buy that, it the pictures are black and
white. Mh. But,
I would just get the Pdf version myself
because then I can do my little
finger finger zoom in and see what exactly
what I wanna see. It's it's just a
Yep. Really good publication and a publication. If
you're interested in, building a model of a
Saturn 5. This is what you wanna get.
Very cool. I should point out our good
friends of C Tv man have it available
for pre order.
For the book for 12 99 Us. You
can reorder But so like, basically, I I
went online Paypal,
like, Boom had the entertainment within 5 minutes.
Yeah Exactly.
Exactly. I'm gonna I'm gonna put up their
link as well, and there it is new
Sim. Yep. So lots of stuff happening and
what they're...
And what they're working on. So very, very
cool. Okay.
You just don't realize.
Until you'll really... I mean, obviously, at at
some level you do, but you just... It's
amazing the complexity of these machines. Call, the
Saturn 5, the most complex
machine ever devised by man. Absolutely incredible that
they could come up with this within. Mh.
Basically 10 years. Yeah.
Just amazing. You throw enough money at anything.
You know?
I am not sure. You know, not everybody
can do that. I mean, nothing no
they built it and, yeah, I forget what
portion of the Us Gdp, the space program
was at the time. So you had...
You built that knowledge
quickly from... Essentially, from the end of world
war too. Yeah. Yep. Within 20 years, they
were getting ready to put men in orbit.
Yeah. I know. It's absolutely. It wasn't. Yeah.
And and, you know, to people who complain
about the cost. Well, that's a lot cheaper
than a nuclear war. So I think this
is so bad. This is true. Something useful.
Alright yeah. Terry. What about you? Yeah. Jeff's
mention of
Douglas Preston book reminded me of Alfred Lynn.
Who was a national geographic explorer in a
couple series where he went in essentially into
the bush
around the world with a drone mounted Lidar
system.
And looking for
ancient civilizations settlements, that kind of stuff.
And between
between the the the space mounted and stuff,
which you can see large stuff and his
the can see small stuff. They found all
kinds of stuff. And, like.
Central America, South America,
it's now thought finding all these settlements that
there were as many people there as were
in Europe at any given time before
the Spanish arrived and,
you know,
disease wiped everybody out. Yeah. Yeah. And I
see national geographic has 3 4 full episodes
here the... There's more than that.
I don't know where you can find them
all, but there's some on Youtube. It's well
worth watching. Yep. I'm just looking you sent
here.
He lost
chunk of his leg
in a motorcycle accident. And so he's doing
all of this stuff with a pros prestigious
as well. Oh, wow. And he is just
He's just relentless. He's fantastic.
This is amazing he meet are amazing. And
in Honduras... I think it was Honduras.
Because all the drugs and everything else are
It was... Yeah. It was honduras. It just...
I just didn't wanna... I wasn't... I wanna
be absolutely sure of it. But, definitely, that's
the that's the area. And it's the whole...
The whole place is full. It's full cities.
So and an Army sent,
they escorted his team into there as well.
And then the gut Army guys on their
off time are helping with the digs.
Yeah. Super involved with it. And Well, he's
hopefully
helping to to bring this this culture of
learning their the the the,
their ancestors even more. Now that they know
what to look for.
They're finding these houses that were, like, you
know, here,
in my town, the Rich guys from Chicago
would come out here in the summertime because
Chicago was just well trained.
It's like... And that's these houses were there
too. They looked like summer homes of wealthy
people that we get out of the cities.
During the tough parts of the year, and
then,
at least that's the 1 that he found
there, but literally around the world.
I now I now know what I'm gonna
be washing the next little while. Well, look
at look at how long the first the
first episode is. Your how hours.
No. The first 1 is 4 and a
4 and a half hour. So that's 4...
Yeah. I didn't even open. I just found
the link. I think it's just lost all
of them. So, yeah 10 1. Also, there's
it. Yeah.
Mega episode. It mega the whole of season
1 maybe. Cool. That could be.
Yeah. That's yeah I'm finding more of stone...
They're still finding more of stone.
You had me at lost cities.
Exactly. Yeah He's he's great. I hope they
do more with them. I'll have to check
to see if they've done more. Very cool.
K, Craig. Yeah.
Alrighty. Sometime for summer
set up your your monitor in front of
your your build station there and and and
watch something... A away you go.
Educational and then lose yourself watching it, and
none nonstop and not building your model building.
Yeah. That's the problem. That's my problem and
exactly.
Incredible, Petra. Very cool.
