Ever found yourself marveling at a model's intricate detail and wondered about the hands that built and painted such a tiny masterpiece? We're joined by the multitalented modeler, Steve Hustad, whose finesse in both aircraft and armor modeling is as legendary as the camaraderie celebrated at modeling events like HeritageCon, AMPS, and the IPMS National Convention. Listen in for a fascinating look at how modelers like you weave personal narratives into every diorama, and how a shared passion for tiny tanks and planes can lead to lifelong friendships.
Take a seat at our workbench for a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of small scale armor modeling, where we compare the latest 1/72nd scale marvels and swap tips on achieving historical accuracy in miniature form. We'll guide you through the evocative process of bringing a scene to life – from a Panther tank in a wintery diorama to the subtleties of photo etch detailing that make all the difference. We're not just talking about kits; it's about the transformative journey of a modeler, embracing both the triumphs of a completed model and the trials of tiny tracks.
Wrapping up, you'll get a glimpse of our own workbenches, hear about exciting new kits on the horizon, and understand why our listeners are the true heartbeat of our community. So grab your favorite modeling fluid, and prepare for an episode that's as much about the spirit of modeling as it is about the kits that bring us all together.
