Welcome to a Special Episode of the Plastic Posse Podcast. There is a new International Modeling Organization that has launched called Modellers Without Borders. Many people have been asking questions about this new Organization and we host three good friends who are also key members of MWB in a Q and A session to get you some of those answers, specifically:
Tim Holland, AKA "El Presidente" from the ModelGeeks Podcast, and part of the Southern Maryland Scale Modelers club that hosts the Paxcon Model Show every other year. Tim is the President of Modellers Without Borders.
Rob Booth is a former IPMS USA Member of the Year (2018), a member of the 2023 IPMS NATS San Marcos team, and also a former member of the IPMS USA E-board (Secretary). Rob is also a longstanding member of the San Antonio Alamo Squadron and also a founding member of the Texas Hill Country Scale Modelers. Rob is the Executive Secretary of Modellers Without Borders.
Stan Spooner is an award winning modeler with scores of Publishing credits for his work. He is currently based in Texas, where Stan was a member of the 2023 IPMS NATS San Marcos team. Stan also owns and operates "The Model Box," a hobby based business and social media outlet for his work and the work of others. Stan is the VP for Industry Liaison for Modellers Without Borders.
Before you listen - a proviso - there will be distinctions drawn between MWB and IPMS USA, (as well as other organizations). Values, perceived challenges, and approaches to the hobby will be openly discussed, so be aware of this.
If you are curious about or interested in this ORG, you will enjoy this interview. If you aren't interested in a different approach than the traditional IPMS USA one, you may want to give this one a pass. You have been cautioned!
Chats with influential, inspiring, prolific and community oriented folks.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
