The Plastic Power Rangers return, combining to produce another modelling Megazord. This month we tackle chipping, pigments and soil effects.

The Modelling Musketeers are back with another episode of plastic podcasting. This month we tackle weathering with washes, filters and oils. Moreover, we take on the huge the RMS Titanic in subject corner. Ivan also tell us about our first review published on the web-page. Finally, there is the usual controversy in, 'Stash or Cash'.

The three modelteers return to the shed for another bumper episode of chat and repartee. This month we tackle the infamous Messerschmitt Bf-109 in subject corner and have a very detailed discussion about airbrushing in sound advice. Stash or cash leads to some disagreement but, we all agree in the end that scale modelling is the winner!

Audio Review #5 Academy 1:48th Mitchell B-25D 'Pacific Theatre' 12328 Jan 21, 2020

Well we have a special guest reviewer looking at a kit for us. James Skiffins, AKA the 'Model Officer' from the, 'Model Officer's Mess' has popped into the shed to peruse the Academy Mitchell B-25D kit and share his thoughts. It's such a privilege to have an award winning modeller contribute to our project.

Most important is that the sprues, box art and other contents will be shared on our social media and our new website. So you can look at the kit that we are talking about.

Audio Review #1 Tamiya 1:48th Supermarine Spitfire Mk 1 61119 Oct 27, 2019

So this is the first audio review we have done. We want to splatter these in-between shows as little hors d'oeuvres. Sometimes they will be kits that link into the shows like this one, or we might have a new release or kit we want to share with you. The idea is that they are 5 minutes long but, this one is a little longer sorry as I like the sound of my own voice.
