Special Episode: Modellers Without Borders - Stan Spooner, Rob Booth, and Tim Holland Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome to a Special Episode of the Plastic Posse Podcast. There is a new International Modeling Organization that has launched called Modellers Without Borders. Many people have been asking questions about this new Organization and we host three good friends who are also key members of MWB in a Q and A session to get you some of those answers, specifically:
Tim Holland, AKA "El Presidente" from the ModelGeeks Podcast, and part of the Southern Maryland Scale Modelers club that hosts the Paxcon Model Show every other year. Tim is the President of Modellers Without Borders.
Rob Booth is a former IPMS USA Member of the Year (2018), a member of the 2023 IPMS NATS San Marcos team, and also a former member of the IPMS USA E-board (Secretary). Rob is also a longstanding member of the San Antonio Alamo Squadron and also a founding member of the Texas Hill Country Scale Modelers. Rob is the Executive Secretary of Modellers Without Borders.
Stan Spooner is an award winning modeler with scores of Publishing credits for his work. He is currently based in Texas, where Stan was a member of the 2023 IPMS NATS San Marcos team. Stan also owns and operates "The Model Box," a hobby based business and social media outlet for his work and the work of others. Stan is the VP for Industry Liaison for Modellers Without Borders.
Before you listen - a proviso - there will be distinctions drawn between MWB and IPMS USA, (as well as other organizations). Values, perceived challenges, and approaches to the hobby will be openly discussed, so be aware of this.
If you are curious about or interested in this ORG, you will enjoy this interview. If you aren't interested in a different approach than the traditional IPMS USA one, you may want to give this one a pass. You have been cautioned!

Episode 92: Solo Benchtime + Undervalued work, AMPS Recap, Rocky Mtn. Expo Promo May 01, 2024

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

The Posse is (almost) all here! We missed Jensen (Happy Birthday) but have one of our best collective episodes in a while with great discussions.
We recap the recent AMPS Nationals, with a segment featuring JB, Scott, Ian Bonner, and Jonathan (ModelDoc) Anderson. We also feature a segment outlining the team behind the forthcoming Inaugural Rocky Mountain Expo in SLC on June 22. JB interviews Scott, Barry Beideger from Small Subjects, and Shawn Earl on this new Model Show.
We also have some great listener feedback, discuss whether we have work that has possibly been a little underappreciated, and whether or not we as modelers underappreciate our own work. Another interesting discussion revolves around JB talking about times where he just needs to shut the social aspect of modeling down for a while and get some work done at the bench solo. This also leads to some introspective discussions of benchtime - music, podcasting, zoom calls, and even modeling together in local clubs!
