Hi All at Scale Model Podcast.
Just want to thank you for a very informative and easy-listening podcast. It definitely helps me get through my days at work.
Just catching up on the latest episodes and heard the update from Scale ACT 2023. It was the 1st time I'd attended and was an amazing show! I met up with some people in person for the 1st time who I have talked to for a few years on Instagram. We ended up going out for some refreshing adult beverages both nights of the weekend. I can definitely understand it when people say that it's the people that make the shows.
During the episode, I heard you mention the Ram Kangaroo at the show. That was mine. It was the Gecko Models kit and it was a dream to put together. Here are a few more pics of it (attached).
Keep up the great podcasting!!

Enjoyed the latest podcast…
I went to Telford for the first time this year. Montreal has direct flights to LHR, and it’s about a 3 hour drive north-west from there.
There are three large halls, totalling about 100,000 sq.ft. The 170+ different clubs and SIGs were situated in the middle of the halls, and 120+ vendors around were on the outskirts and along the walls.
I displayed some models on the Danish SIG, and had a great time.
I spent waaaay over my budget, but I justify it saying ´I am saving on shipping costs…’

General discussion.
Hi’s and Lows of 2023
***************************************
WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Taking a brief break on the Moosaroo cup to figure out what I want to do in terms of the diorama. Got a larger base.
Battle mechs are almost completed and deciding what to build next. YF-21 Perhaps.

Terry - Finished the Christmas Birds. Sanded and resurfaced the Lamda carrier decks, they were a bit rougher than I would have liked. I think they may be ready. Also went back to the Hasegawa Regault kit. I think I have no choice but to build, mask and paint it. I had thought I could paint parts first, but that’s not going to work.

THINGS WE’VE SEEN
Luftraum/72 providing some interesting details on the painting of his F15-J
Terry did visit the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. Some nice collections of movie props, and a Leika Studios special exhibit.
The paint rack I got was the hanging rack from Lazy Dog Studio. If you look at options you will find the size you need. Pro Acryl is the medium size cutouts.
