The Plastic Model Modo Twelve Minute Modelsphere is brought to you by KitMasx!
Summer flew by in a flash, and we're reflecting on our recent trip to the IPMS National Convention in Hampton, Virginia. We're eager to hear your experiences if you attended – especially first-timers! Looking ahead, mark your calendars for September 27th when we'll be at the Military Modelers Club of Louisville show in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. We'll have a table right next to Jeff Groves, so stop by to chat! The spacious Pariquet Springs venue makes this one-day show particularly enjoyable.
Our podcast lineup for September includes a special Q&A segment with Dr. Strangebrush in Episode 147 and a shop talk featuring Chris Wallace from the Model Airplane Maker channel in Episode 148.
Don't miss our modeling tip of the month – we've discovered that certain Aldi prosciutto packages contain interleaving film that's actually 2.5 thousandths polystyrene sheeting, thinner than anything commercially available for modeling!
Meanwhile, our Plastic Model Mojo Dojo community continues to thrive with nearly 5,500 members sharing tips, solving problems, and discussing everything from airbrush troubleshooting to using Star Wars kits as painting and weathering practice. Join our growing modeling family and share your own projects and questions!

Dave.
Episode 147, dr Strangebrushhas been soliciting questions

Kentucky Dave (07:31):
Yeah, haven't heard from him in a while.
Mike (07:32):
Well, we've heard from him , but the listening audience for
Plastic Model Mojo has notheard from him in a while.
Kentucky Dave (07:39):
We hear from him regularly.
Mike (07:41):
That's right, so he was perfectly willing to come on.
So bare metal finishes, that'dbe a good one, dave, I like that
and go watch his video on thesubject.
Well, dave, we'll kind ofstretch this out.
Give a little bit more meat tothe 12-minute model sphere.
Give another little tidbit thatfolks can find useful.
(08:03):
I'm going to try to insert atip of the month, so we're going
to have a little homework to dogoing forward.
But the tip of the month forSeptember also stems from our
trip to Hampton, Virginia, theIFMS National Convention.
It was about a month ago thatmaybe a little longer than that,
because I put it on the dojo Ihave discovered that the
(08:27):
interleave film in a pack ofAldi prosciutto was actually two
and a half thousandthspolystyrene sheeting and that
proved to be quite useful.
So it sent us on a little bitof a goose chase while we were
in Hampton we rolled up to anAldi and everybody jumped out
(08:48):
and ran inside to go get somecharcuterie for the evening.
Now there are two varieties ofprosciutto at Aldi.
One of them is just I guessit's just says prosciutto, and
the other one has some Italianstyle or something on it.
I didn't know there was anyother kind of prosciutto than
Italian style, but if it saysItalian something on the pack,
(09:08):
that's not the one you want.
You want the other one.
I assume they're packed at twodifferent facilities and the one
that just says prosciutto hasthis ultra thin polystyrene
sheeting in it that I've startedto find very useful in my
modeling.
It's like I said, it's two anda half thousandths, which is
half the thickness ofevergreen's thinnest sheet, and
(09:29):
I'm looking for it as a supplieditem from a manufacturer.
I like prosciutto, Dave, butyou know.
Yeah right, there's only so muchprosciutto and washing the
washing the, the, the fat, yeah,the fat, and grease off of it,
yeah, cause you gotta be careful, cause that's just so thin you
can't use very hot water, soRight.
So if you need some really,really thin polystyrene, until I
(09:52):
enter, until I find out asource supplier for this stuff,
you can get it at Aldi in theirprosciutto.
Kentucky Dave (10:00):
Yeah.
Mike (10:00):
So there's my tip of the month, Dave.
Kentucky Dave (10:02):
Yeah, well, we'll see what happens.
I need to go out and buy stockin Aldi or something.
Mike (10:13):
Dave, I know the dojo has been hopping.
Kentucky Dave (10:16):
Yes, it has.
It has been busy, doesn't beginto describe it.
We're up to basically 5,450members, give or take a few.
Membership's been climbing.
Right now it's climbing about2% a month, which is a nice
(10:36):
steady gain.
What I'm really thrilled aboutis the interaction.
We are now regularly seeing 30plus posts on the dojo.
We're getting really greatinteraction.
Just to give you a couple ofexamples, there was a member who
(10:57):
was having difficulty withtheir Iwata airbrush and they
had tried everything.
And I and another memberrecommended that they contact Dr
Strangebrush.
They did so.
Not only did Dr Miller helpcure their Iwata problem, he
sold them a hard-earned steambag while he had them on the
(11:18):
phone.
So win, win, win all the wayaround.
And then another member posted aphoto of a completed Star Wars.
You know one of the Bandai StarWars kits or Fine Molts I
forget which.
Either one or fine malts, Iforget which Either one.
And that prompted aconversation about what a good
(11:40):
palette those kits are forpainting and weathering.
And Paul Gloucester, as youknow, brought one to the
Nationals that he had done andwhile we were at Hampton, he and
I at the Airbnb were discussingthat at length.
We were at Hampton, he and I atthe Airbnb were discussing that
at length and then I commentedon this person's post about that
(12:04):
.
Then Paul chimed in and it ledto a really, really nice
discussion about those kits Evenif sci-fi or star Wars aren't
in your wheelhouse just being agreat way to cleanse the palette
, build a nice kit.
They go together very well andthey are really good for
(12:26):
stretching your painting andweathering legs.
Mike (12:30):
Well, I rub those every time I see them at the shows.
I just haven't pulled thetrigger on it.
I know I want that big AMT30-second scale TIE fighter at
some point, but the smallerscale 70-second Y-wings, x-wings
TIE fighters yeah, I get that.
That's pretty cool.
Kentucky Dave (12:47):
I've got an X-wing and I want a Y-wing.
Mike (12:51):
We'll buy one, Dave.
Yeah, no, I don't need to bebuying more kits.
We'll sell some at our show.
Kentucky Dave (12:57):
Yeah, well, I'm going to do some of that.
I've been selling a few on thedojo and I'm going to be moving
some at our show Because, again,as I'll say for the billionth
time, the experience of going upand helping that widow clear
out her basement of all thosebooks has radicalized me and I
do not want to leave my wife andchildren in that position.
(13:20):
So I got to do something Well.
Mike (13:23):
back to the dojo numbers.
I was looking today, dave, andwe're getting close to parity
between the dojo and the PlasticModel Mojo Facebook page the
normal podcast page where Inormally post.
Right where we do just theannouncements, just the
announcements, and I don't knowman, should that run past that
significantly?
We may have to change the waywe do things on there, but real
(13:44):
glad to see it.
Folks, recommend your friendsin your modeling community to
the dojo.
We just like to see it keepgrowing.
Well, folks, that's September.
We hope you join us foreverything we can push out for
you to digest.
It's going to be a good month.
We got two good episodes and welook forward to more growth on
(14:05):
the dojo and hopefully we'll seeyou at Paracat Springs in
Shepherdsville, kentucky, atMMCL Invitational.
Dave, as we always say, so manykits, so little time.
Kentucky Dave (14:16):

happy labor day you too and toeveryone else, all right.
Hit the button to stop therecording.

Kentucky Dave (07:21):
That's right.

Well, dave, we'll kind ofstretch this out.
Give a little bit more meat tothe 12-minute model sphere.
Give another little tidbit thatfolks can find useful.
(08:03):
I'm going to try to insert atip of the month, so we're going
to have a little homework to dogoing forward.
But the tip of the month forSeptember also stems from our
trip to Hampton, Virginia, theIFMS National Convention.
It was about a month ago thatmaybe a little longer than that,
because I put it on the dojo Ihave discovered that the
(08:27):
interleave film in a pack ofAldi prosciutto was actually two
and a half thousandthspolystyrene sheeting and that
proved to be quite useful.
So it sent us on a little bitof a goose chase while we were
in Hampton we rolled up to anAldi and everybody jumped out
(08:48):
and ran inside to go get somecharcuterie for the evening.
Now there are two varieties ofprosciutto at Aldi.
One of them is just I guessit's just says prosciutto, and
the other one has some Italianstyle or something on it.
I didn't know there was anyother kind of prosciutto than

(09:08):
that's not the one you want.
You want the other one.
I assume they're packed at twodifferent facilities and the one
that just says prosciutto hasthis ultra thin polystyrene
sheeting in it that I've startedto find very useful in my
modeling.
It's like I said, it's two anda half thousandths, which is
half the thickness ofevergreen's thinnest sheet, and
(09:29):
I'm looking for it as a supplieditem from a manufacturer.
I like prosciutto, Dave, butyou know.
Yeah right, there's only so muchprosciutto and washing the
washing the, the, the fat, yeah,the fat, and grease off of it,
yeah, cause you gotta be careful, cause that's just so thin you
can't use very hot water, soRight.
So if you need some really,really thin polystyrene, until I
(09:52):
enter, until I find out asource supplier for this stuff,
you can get it at Aldi in theirprosciutto.
Kentucky Dave (10:00):
Yeah.
Mike (10:00):
So there's my tip of the month, Dave.
Kentucky Dave (10:02):
Yeah, well, we'll see what happens.
I need to go out and buy stockin Aldi or something.
Mike (10:13):
Dave, I know the dojo has been hopping.
Kentucky Dave (10:16):
Yes, it has.
It has been busy, doesn't beginto describe it.
We're up to basically 5,450members, give or take a few.
Membership's been climbing.
Right now it's climbing about2% a month, which is a nice
(10:36):
steady gain.
What I'm really thrilled aboutis the interaction.
We are now regularly seeing 30plus posts on the dojo.
We're getting really greatinteraction.
Just to give you a couple ofexamples, there was a member who
(10:57):
was having difficulty withtheir Iwata airbrush and they
had tried everything.
And I and another memberrecommended that they contact Dr
Strangebrush.
They did so.
Not only did Dr Miller helpcure their Iwata problem, he
sold them a hard-earned steambag while he had them on the
(11:18):
phone.
So win, win, win all the wayaround.
And then another member posted aphoto of a completed Star Wars.
You know one of the Bandai StarWars kits or Fine Molts I
forget which.
Either one or fine malts, Iforget which Either one.
And that prompted aconversation about what a good
(11:40):
palette those kits are forpainting and weathering.
And Paul Gloucester, as youknow, brought one to the
Nationals that he had done andwhile we were at Hampton, he and
I at the Airbnb were discussingthat at length.
We were at Hampton, he and I atthe Airbnb were discussing that
at length and then I commentedon this person's post about that
(12:04):
.
Then Paul chimed in and it ledto a really, really nice
discussion about those kits Evenif sci-fi or star Wars aren't
in your wheelhouse just being agreat way to cleanse the palette
, build a nice kit.
They go together very well andthey are really good for
(12:26):
stretching your painting andweathering legs.
Mike (12:30):
Well, I rub those every time I see them at the shows.
I just haven't pulled thetrigger on it.
I know I want that big AMT30-second scale TIE fighter at
some point, but the smallerscale 70-second Y-wings, x-wings
TIE fighters yeah, I get that.
That's pretty cool.
Kentucky Dave (12:47):
I've got an X-wing and I want a Y-wing.
Mike (12:51):
We'll buy one, Dave.
Yeah, no, I don't need to bebuying more kits.
We'll sell some at our show.
Kentucky Dave (12:57):
Yeah, well, I'm going to do some of that.
I've been selling a few on thedojo and I'm going to be moving
some at our show Because, again,as I'll say for the billionth
time, the experience of going upand helping that widow clear
out her basement of all thosebooks has radicalized me and I
do not want to leave my wife andchildren in that position.
(13:20):
So I got to do something Well.
Mike (13:23):
back to the dojo numbers.
I was looking today, dave, andwe're getting close to parity
between the dojo and the PlasticModel Mojo Facebook page the
normal podcast page where Inormally post.
Right where we do just theannouncements, just the
announcements, and I don't knowman, should that run past that
significantly?
We may have to change the waywe do things on there, but real
(13:44):
glad to see it.
Folks, recommend your friendsin your modeling community to
the dojo.
We just like to see it keepgrowing.
Well, folks, that's September.
We hope you join us foreverything we can push out for
you to digest.
It's going to be a good month.
We got two good episodes and welook forward to more growth on
(14:05):
the dojo and hopefully we'll seeyou at Paracat Springs in
Shepherdsville, kentucky, atMMCL Invitational.
Dave, as we always say, so manykits, so little time.
Kentucky Dave (14:16):

happy labor day you too and toeveryone else, all right.
