The last time we had Jeff Grove on the show was in March of 2021 for episode 169. This week we talk with Jeff about: 

• Layout up-date, where he's at currently with his double-decker layout. The top level is 1945 era; bottom layer is 1970's. Coal mining & lumbering.

We summarize our trip out to Oklahoma, Todd goes on a rant, we talk about cats on a plane and Brett gives you insight on how he finds time to work in the workshop with his busy work/life schedule!

Brett’s been working on Pap’s Pizza, a new road that follows an old railroad grade, and he goes off into a whole story of the red light district which turns into a funny and typical story of the podcast. I mean, what 40’s city didn’t have a little shenanigans going on? He also discusses the recent 3D printing of the pallet stacks and end-of-the-line track buffers.

Todd goes into his recent work on his current build and then derails on the whole hobby shop rant and talks about his scenery from the current section of the layout that he’s working on!

Then we go into some modeling tips, some were funny, and the others were mildly valuable. Take what you want, and laugh at the rest.

Brett also goes into his recent conquering of the Paqui One Chip Challenge… It was a ride of spicy, hot, sweaty emotions. 

After all of the modeling content, we spend the next part of the show going over our takes and opinions on the Top 25 in College Football after week 1! Hopefully, if you’re a college ball fan, you’ll stick with us through our wild and crazy chat about the early season of College Football!

Join us this week as we talk with Doug Foscale of FOS Scale Models about some of his new developments, adventures in 3D printing and the new limited run kit available now at https://fosscalemodels.com

We want to welcome everyone back to the Bench Time Podcast with the Wiley's! This week we go on our usual rants, talk about a little history, go over our current work updats and we even go way off track on a rant about horseradish and wrap up with some aimless sports banter! Enjoy, we're glad to be back freaks!

It's been a hot minute since we last recorded and we've decided to bring back a monthly version of our show! The same old us, a little less censored (you may hear some word fly), and just as colorful as we used to be.

We've been busy working and you can see all the pics of our work here: https://www.facebook.com/hoscalecustoms

It's been a while, and we told you that we weren't going to completely disappear... So here we go for some fresh new content and some shop talk about what we've been up to since our last episode back in the Spring.

We covered a lot in this episode, so just give it a listen and check in with us in the comments section with what you have all been up to!

We've been fumbling our way through the podcast world since 2017 when my Dad and I launched this show together. There have been many laughs, memories and great times shared together between us and ALL of the listeners and we both believe that this is the right time for us to hang up the microphones and focus more on our families and model building time together. 

This isn't the end of the road for our model building, live Facebook builds, and YouTube videos (which we want to get back to), but this will be the final podcast for the Bench Time Podcast as we know it.

We've received some tremendous support from the ENTIRE community and at no point was this decision easy, but we've been struggling to meet family and other requirements for a while now and this is a decision that we haven't made lightly. 

From Todd and myself, we want to thank every one of our listeners, past patrons, guests, and everyone that we've met from this journey. 

We also want to stress that we're not going away. We're going to do the LIVE videos more, and we'll be sharing modeling adventures on our Facebook Page and Overtime at the Bench Modeling Group.

We're going to use this time to focus on our families and professional lives as well as building more kick-ass models!

Thank you everyone for following us from the beginning and make sure to follow us on the following channels/pages to stay updated on our model building adventures!
