Welcome to Episode 23 of Plastic Model Mojo!

Mike and Dave break the ice will some commentary about what has happened in their “Modelshere” since Episode 22 and then reveal their selected “Modeling Fluid”.  There is a ton of listener mail to work through, both general comments and questions, as well as, a few related to the Episode 22 special segment on our “Shelves of Doom”.   

As discussed in Episode 23:

Please check out Wrightcon, the IPMS Region IV regional contest.  Covid-19 has required the conversion of this event to a virtual contest in lieu of the in person.  Dave and I will sorely miss the opportunity to attend this even in person, but we wish this event success. Please visit the sight and participate.
