What's it like to navigate the thrilling world of modeling while juggling summer yard work and pool maintenance? In this episode of Plastic Model Mojo, we bring you a vibrant recap of Wonderfest, one of our favorite events, and share our boundless excitement for the upcoming Nationals. Have you ever wondered how to keep your hobby fresh and exciting? Join us as we reflect on some podcast episodes that exceeded our expectations, emphasizing the significance of trying new things. We cherish our listener interactions, especially those at events, and give a nod to our current modeling fluids – a glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon and a Stone Delicious IPA – as we eagerly anticipate delving into listener mail.

In our Community Updates and Interactions segment, be prepared to hear the latest listener updates and some intriguing direct messages. We'll unveil a secret project collaboration with Christian Gurney from Bases by Bill and share insights from Kevin Hedrich of Kit Masks about his exciting product expansion. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Jason Sizemore for his work on the Tactical Notes newsletter, offer bourbon recommendations to John Colasante, and express our regret at missing the chance to meet him in Lexington.

We take you on a nostalgic journey with Bruce MacRae.  Learn of his  early years of model building, starting with his first Revell Destroyer kit at age six, through to working on iconic films like "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and "Titanic." Discover the behind-the-scenes craftsmanship, the union membership challenges, and the art of creating detailed dioramas.
