Discover the irreplaceable blend of creativity and camaraderie that makes Wonderfest in Louisville, Kentucky, truly unforgettable. Join us on this special edition of the 12-Minute Model Sphere, now temporarily transformed into the "Totally Massive Model Sphere," as we recount our exhilarating experiences at the event. We had the chance to meet Canadian modeling celebrity Anthony Goodman, who dazzled us with his first-ever seminar at Wonderfest. We'll share our reflections on the event's evolution, its significance in the modeling world, and the impressive displays that captured our imaginations.

What happens when sci-fi modelers from across the globe come together for one epic gathering? We explore the unique bond among modelers, recounting heartwarming stories of road trips, friendships, and the thrill of seeing one's work appreciated by peers. We'll spotlight exceptional talents like Jason Eaton and discuss the fascinating techniques used for weathering both traditional aircraft and fictional spacecraft. Plus, we share practical tips on maintaining a dust-free workspace and conquering the dreaded "Shelf of Doom."

Finally, get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the magic of model-making. From the pioneering efforts of Millicent Patrick to navigating the complexities of licensing agreements for iconic franchises, this episode is packed with inspiring stories. Hear from industry experts Bruce McRae and Jeff Groves as they offer their unique perspectives and celebrate the growth of our dojo community. We wrap up by encouraging everyone to share their completed models proudly, reminding our listeners of the endless creative possibilities that lie ahead.
