This episode has Whitey and D-Ran, of The Model Geeks infamy, joining in on the conversation here at the nut house!   The topics for conversation were taken from the post Rob Adams put up in the days leading up to our recording.  Our first discussion centers around going outside of your usual genre, and the pitfalls and possibilities that could offer .  This one was a mash up of suggestions from Jeremy Elliot and Jason Hanscom.  Our main topic is from Adam Griffin, and he asks about the differences in culture between genres. We start out strong talking about our experiences, but we still hit that kink in the rail and get derailed! 
 
 New Kits In The News 
Miniart has their usual barrage of new kit announcements, including a PZ 234 w/ 7.5cm gun and full interior, and a PZ 234 w/ Luchs turret, Resin heads for their German Tank riders, Italeri has a 1/72 F-35 Lightning-CATOBAR version with parts for “beast mode” configuration (whatever THAT means) and die cut masks for the RAM panels.  Also an Italian Army Armored car for the African front in 1/35th scale. In 1/24th scale, they also have an Alfa Romeo Giullia 1600 Spyder 
For the 48th scale aircraft builders, they also have a Mirage IIIE 
...and finally, they also are releasing a few 1/56th scale British and German tanks.  56th scale is, keep in mind, the typical gaming scale .  And finally, a little something to get your Weird Shit-O –Meter tinglng!  Mantis Miniatures in 1/35th scale, A diver, modeled after the German deep sea diving suits, with a choice of two heads, one of which is one of a diver that long ago ran out of air. 
Animal set 55 is an octopus in 1/35th scale and a few crabs, mollusks and star fish added in for those dep sea vignettes . Animal Set 56 and 57 are both ‘scavengers, one set is vultures eating a bovine carrion, and the other is a pack of what appear to be hyenas
