Riv first goes on a rant about what others consider entertainment with content creators in the hobby.  Whether it by creating and producing podcast, YouTube content, or other social media...

Stemming from our excursion to AMPS Nats, this is a spill over episode, discussing what brings us inspiration in the hobby.  What is it that makes us want to produce?  Where does inspiration come from? 

Our discussion about inspiration leads into research and aftermarket additions.  Somewhere along the conversation, Justin got kidnapped by aliens or something, as he missed the switch in topics.  Stash accumulation rounds out the conversation and we talk about the strange stuff in our stashes and where they came from. 

And Riv admits he has a photoetch problem…and the conversation ends with the inevitable question of what happens with those stashes when we cross the River Styx on that next journey. 

The Red Beach One Studios World War One group build is has converted to a Special Interest Group Machinen Krieger Group build is well underway!  Officially ends in July, with the release of the 1/35 Falke kit-post your unstarted builds in the ‘Unstarted ‘ Album.
