Show notes
Welcome to Episode 132 of The ModelGeeks Podcast!
After a little bit of the usual Geeks banter, we catch up on what’s happening in our respective model worlds, what’s on the bench, what we’ve finished, and of course, what new plastic has somehow managed to follow us home! We then dig into Mail Call (keep those cards & letters coming folks!) and take a look at some great work from the Listener Gallery during Listener Spotlight.
For our main topic, we’re going BIG! Episode 132 is “1/32 — The Big Scale.”
The Geeks sit down for a modeler’s discussion about building aircraft in 1/32 scale. Why build big? What does the larger scale bring to the bench that the smaller scales don’t? We talk about the added detail, the opportunities for super-detailing, the growing selection of kits and aftermarket goodies, and of course some of the challenges that come along with these monsters — price, bench space, display space, and figuring out where the heck you’re going to put the thing when you’re finished!
We also talk about some of the manufacturers and kits that have helped make 1/32 such a popular aircraft scale and share some of our own experiences, favorites, and opinions on building in the Big Scale.
So clear some room off the bench, reinforce the display shelves, and join the Geeks as we talk 1/32!
