This busy weekend and upcoming Holidays on tepisode #52 of the Bench Time Podcast by HO Scale Customs we list and review some of the best non-professional modelers works from 2018!  In no particular order, we pick ten or so of our favorite structures, dioramas and sections of layouts base on our own personal opinions and there were so many many more we simply could not have fit in a single episode.  This year was BIG!  The year modelers turned up the volume!  Mammoth Structures and dioramas filled with tons of tiny details peppered the facebook groups and instagram photos! We saw creativity not just step outside the box but shred the border outlines of that box!  Modelers taking bold steps to try new material, multiple techniques, some old, some new, and giving the viewer unique design and perspectives, and we talk about our personal favorites!  Many of them were even guests of ours this year, and some of them supporters and listeners of our show!
