Send us a text 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.
