Embrace the fall season with us as we tackle an eclectic mix of yard work and scale modeling joys. We reflect on the bittersweet nature of shorter days, and Mike shares the struggle of juggling responsibilities at Space Tango, home, and the joy of Halloween festivities. We also pay tribute to BJ DeBecker from Panzer Concepts, honoring his profound impact on the modeling world. In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of scale modeling, from intricate oil painting techniques to the camaraderie that binds our community together.

The scale modeling community is thriving with creativity and collaboration as we highlight Craig Everson's impressive Tiger I diorama and Dave Waples's exciting updates on SBD Dauntless engines. The anticipation for Brandon Lowe's upcoming B-24 decal set, "Double Trouble," is palpable, and the generosity of Stephen Lee shines through as he helps fellow modelers access rare Pricer figure sets. Our shared love for modeling doesn't stop there. We engage in spirited discussions on the importance of societies like IPMS and AMPS, capture the spirit of model shows, and reflect on the artistry displayed at events like the MMSI show in Schaumburg.

Grab your brushes and paints as we explore the world of oil painting techniques for weathering model aircraft with Steve Hustad. Discover the joy and challenges of using oils to create lifelike details, and learn the secrets behind realistic exhaust stains and propeller finishes. We also dive into the nuances of airbrushing, detailing, and decal application, while sharing updates from our workbenches. From nostalgic journeys through model kit history to embracing the latest products, our conversation is a testament to the endless passion and experimentation that define our beloved hobby. Join us as we celebrate the artistry, community, and dedication fueling the modeling world.
