Talking Shop with Mike and Kentucky Dave: Episode 125

Plastic Model Mojo

What happens when two model enthusiasts, Mike and Kentucky Dave, stumble into mishaps like power outages and stinging caterpillars? You get a lively start to our October feature episode, exploring how seasonal changes and unexpected adventures affect their modeling projects. From Dave’s yard work with "On the Bench", and Mike's missing out, we share the humor and resilience that accompany our modeling journey—fueled by Bulleit Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and ZirkusFest Oktoberfest Lager.
Curious about the latest buzz in the scale modeling community? We bring heartwarming updates and stories that highlight the camaraderie and resourcefulness of fellow hobbyists. Celebrate impressive achievements like Mr. Adair's 1:144 scale Taube build, explore the possibility of yoga for modelers, and delve into compelling listener tales, including a captivating Pearl Harbor account. Whether you’re contemplating the merits of model bases or planning your next model show visit, our discussion reflects the joy and interaction at the heart of this hobby.
Imagine leafing through a new Tankograd KV book or discussing the finer points of a Ginter book on the Curtiss SOC Seagull. The tactile pleasure of books for modelers is just one topic we cover, along with the thrill of new model kit announcements like Mikro Mir's 1:72 scale M2-F3 or the Arma Model's 1:48 scale MI-28N helicopter. With shout-outs to friends like Jeff Groves and John Vitkus, this episode is a testament to the friendships and shared passions that make our modeling adventures so rewarding.
