Hello and welcome to episode 170! Dave, Ian and Julian are super excited to talk to Jodie aka perthzakugirl on Instagram and Marissa aka Winzfactor on Instagram for a deep dive discussion on Gundam and some of the crap that female modellers have to put up with.

Gundam is not "new" its been around for well over forty years and is a billion dollar industry in its own right....by far surpassing more traditional modelling styles in both size and revenue.

The Falcon writes in with his list of new kits and we dive into the mailbag to read what you have to say.

In this jam packed episode we are joined in the studio by Clayton Ockerby. Who???? Well if you have ever read the "Modelling News" you will instantly recognise his name as one of the regular contributors to that site. He is also the man behind the Youtube channel "Workbench Hobbies" and all round strait up and down kinda guy.

Chris Meddings drops in to give us an update on the model scene in Ukraine.

A huge mailbag to dive into and of course the crowd favorite....the Falcon writes in with his news.
