An apology

The blog has been a little inactive in the last two weeks.  Professional demands have increased and something had to give.  I think I’ve got things back under control and hope to have daily posts from here on out, including some longer form posts and more modeling content.  Stay tuned.

Stories like this…

are why I got into modeling and will never get tired of it. There is so much history to know.

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.
