Episode 14 "On the Road to AMPS Nats... “  As you are listening, the guys should all be converging on South Bend!   John Charvat gets us even more hyped up for NATS!   We discuss his history with AMPS, the past shows and most importantly, this year’s show!   The guys also discuss their new purchases and projects on their benches.  This did get recorded a few weeks back, so you may already have seen some of these builds shared as completed by now; Riv also comes at Frankie D about his choice of apparel, while trying to explain to the rest of us what the hell “Oaktag” is...   Frankie D talks about the Moosaroo Cup, and his entry. (of course, by now we know the results  of this contest...).  The kit was a teenie-tiny little 1/72 scale Russian/Ukranian Ural truck.  Group Build updates:  The Red Beach One Studios World War One group build is ongoing, make sure to check that one out if you're interested in WWI subjects. Justin completed his German Pioneer figure, Rob Adams is working on his Mk V Tank (which he has since completed-cant wait to see this thing at NATS!)  48 in 48 M4H group build- this was a fun time, and has since been completed.   Machinen Krieger Group build is well underway!  Officially ends in July, with the release of the 1/35 Falke kit - post your unstarted  builds in the ‘Unstarted ‘ Album.   New Kits In The News  Frankie D –1/20 Grosserhund ‘Maskenball’ Ma.k., Heller Panhard Armored Car 178 AMD 35 new tool, Border Models, 251-1 D Halftrack in 1/35 scale  Rob Adams-Nothing jumped out at Rob this episode-He “Dont got nuthin’”  Tuch-Miniart 1/72 Stug, M3 Stuart 35th scale, 48th scale Scaffolding set, 1/48th scale wooden pallets, 35th scale Bakery Van, Takom, Stug 3 G Blitz Kit, storage and equipment set, Mk 45 Model 4 5in Naval gun 1/35, Don2N Pillbox Antimissile defense system  Justin-1/72 Special Hobby Westland Whirlwind, Italeri EF-111 Raven, SBS Model 48th Macchi M33 Project  Upcoming Shows  AMPS Nats - April 11-13- Southbend Indiana Home Page - Armor Modeling & Preservation Society (amps-armor.org)  MFCA - May 3-4 Feasterville-Trevose Pa MFCA Annual Show | Miniature Figure Collectors of America (mfcaclub.com)  Can-Am Con 2024 - Saturday April 20th  Williston National Gard Armory in suburbs of Berlington Vt.
