This is a special OTB episode on a new Modelling Organisation called “Modellers Without Borders”. 

We interview  Tim 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.
