Plastic Model Mojo Ep. 18

Episode 18 is now out.  Give it a listen.

An interesting modeling blog

Militarymodelers.com.  They do something that the old MMP magazine used to do, which is builds of models out of the box with no paint or filler.  This will be a great resource for someone building a kit once the site gets more content up. (h/t to Jim Bates for the pointer)

More YouTube goodness

ModelAirplaneMaker is now doing YouTube Videos.  Check out his first one.

Cockpits

A nice blog entry on cockpits and some tips and techniques.  Worth a read.

Is 72nd scale still relevant?

That is the question posited by this blog post.  Glad he is a PMM listener.  Naturally, my answer is a resounding yes!  Frankly, I think 72nd scale is as healthy as it has ever been.  Your thoughts?

MXY-7 info

My last model completion was the Brengun kit of the MXY-7 Ohka.  Here is a blog post by someone who assisted in the restoration of the one at the IWM. (h/t Jeff “Inch High” Groves)

A really nice 72nd scale modeling blog

It is here.  Focus is mainly on propeller aircraft around WWII.  Worth keeping an eye on.

Apologies

I’ve missed posting a couple of days this past week.  I’ve been juggling a number of things, so posting just slipped by.  I will try to do better.

Podcast news

The first three episodes of the podcast are out.  Give them a listen. If you have any input or suggestions, email Mike and me at plasticmodelmojo@gmail.com.

 

Happy 2020

2019 was a decent year for the blog.  It had the most visitors since 2015.  Over 5100 people visited and there were over 680 posts (about 2 a day.)

For 2020 my goals are:

1. More modeling content including more photos and reports on actual modeling.  (That means I’ll have to model more, but I am willing to make that sacrifice for you, dear reader.)
2. At least one post every day.  I need to take more advantage of the scheduling function for posts.
3. More book reviews.
4. Some new surprises.
5. I’ll continue to post on real world military developments, military and space technology while keeping American politics to a minimum.

I hope to keep these promises to you.  Please comment freely and let me know what you want and what you like.
