The OTB special episode on “Modellers Without Borders” is up for your listening pleasure.
A special OTB Episode will drop at Midnight US EST on August 13, 2024.
This will be a special OTB episode on a new Modelling Organisation called “Modellers Without Borders”.
We interview Timothy Holland, Dave Goldfinch, Christiaan O’Dea and Stephen Lee to get the inside knowledge on the who, why and hows that brought this organisation into being and what their plans are for the future.
This organisation was announced publicly at the end of the most recent IPMS USA Nationals, and raised a lot of buzz and questions from the modelling community.
So tune in to find out what it is all about.

Well that’s it for Madison! Although I didn’t get a medal I received something that is far more prestigious in my eyes…..this wonderful sticker from Paul Gloster and Steve Hustad. To be recognised by your peers and have the p**s taken out of you at the same time is far more rewarding (and funny) than any 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.
Thanks guys 🥰
Congratulations to our very own Aussie, Paul Gloster for winning TWO golds at IPMS NATS Madison.
Goodonya mate 🙌
For no particular reason…..these are the models that I really liked.
Here is a small selection of what is on display.
And here is a look at the two rooms at Madison set aside for models to be judged. There are a large number of outstanding models on display.
Night out with the boys
Well the vendors room is open…….so many choices.
Madison 2024
Wagons Ho!
Pre NATS dinner and drinks at “maison des chevaliers” before hitting the road on Wednesday.
Had such an awesome time here with Kentucky Dave and his beautiful family being the most perfect hosts.
I give this 5 stars out of 5🌟
Walking around the U.S. Airforce is thirsty work…..so why not stop and have an ale (or two) at the Hofbrauhaus????
Guess where I am.
