1/72nd Armor with Steve Hustad: Episode 114

Ever found yourself marveling at a model's intricate detail and wondered about the hands that built and painted such a tiny masterpiece?  We're joined by the multitalented modeler, Steve Hustad, whose finesse in both aircraft and armor modeling is as legendary as the camaraderie celebrated at modeling events like HeritageCon, AMPS, and the IPMS National Convention. Listen in for a fascinating look at how modelers like you weave personal narratives into every diorama, and how a shared passion for tiny tanks and planes can lead to lifelong friendships.Take a seat at our workbench for a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of small scale armor modeling, where we compare the latest 1/72nd scale marvels and swap tips on achieving historical accuracy in miniature form. We'll guide you through the evocative process of bringing a scene to life – from a Panther tank in a wintery diorama to the subtleties of photo etch detailing that make all the difference. We're not just talking about kits; it's about the transformative journey of a modeler, embracing both the triumphs of a completed model and the trials of tiny tracks.Wrapping up, you'll get a glimpse of our own workbenches, hear about exciting new kits on the horizon, and understand why our listeners are the true heartbeat of our community. So grab your favorite modeling fluid, and prepare for an episode that's as much about the spirit of modeling as it is about the kits that bring us all together.1/72nd Scale Armor Resources:Jadar Hobby Shop (Poland): Source for PART Photoetch sets and more!OKB Grigorov (Bulgaria):  Upgrade parts and full kitsMironious Models (Greece): 1/72 Figures - 3D PrintedSupport the Show with any of these options!PatreonBuy Me a BeerPaypalThe Plastic Model Mojo Merchandise StoreSQUADRON Adding to the stash since 1968Model Paint SolutionsYour source for Harder & Steenbeck Airbrushes and David Union Power ToolsModel PodcastsPlease check out the other pods in the modelsphere!PMM Merchandise StoreSupport the show with PMM Merchandise!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
