| Episode 22 - Is It Real or Just Your Imagination | 14 Sep 2024 | 01:43:00 | |
Episode 22 “Is It Real or Just Your Imagination" This episode, Riv opens up to us about his feelings on the recent happenings with a fellow modeler, and what should be considered proper etiquette when your building is directly inspired by another modeler. We add in a new segment, in which we talk about what we have on our benches; and no surprise here, we are all busy with multiple projects! Then we get into a discussion about modeling with realism versus artistic expression, and ho, in the hobby, there is a huge area of (Panzer) grey, where that overlaps, because some aspects of the historical fact does not play well visually and can sometimes cause displeasure to the eye of the beholder. Adams and Bad Santa get a little off track and discuss a bit about how shop owners are on the front line for new modelers, and really should be more attuned to what is going on in the hobby New Kits In The News As it has been a while, we have a plethora of new stuff coming our way!

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.

| Episode 12 - The Wright Stuff | 23 Feb 2024 | 02:27:16 | |
Episode 12 “The Wright Stuff” The guys sit down with the legend (perhaps in our own minds) Mr Lincoln Wright-live(ish) from Australia! Laugh along as Justin fan-girls throughout, and the rest of the crew begins to understand why…. From Sumo buttholes to his first Ma. K. Show in Australia, Lincoln opens to us and gives us his origin story, and even lets us in on a secret-he does build more than just Ma. K.! We also discuss his books-his FAQ book on Sci Fi subjects (where he got a spanking for too much Ma. K.) which spawned the idea for his next two books, The Lincoln Report Volumes 1 and 2, and drops some info on his third book in his series.... We also discuss the preorder and upcoming release of a new tooled 1/35th scale Falke kit, expected in July. We have our preorders in...do you? In celebration (so to speak) of this release, We are having a Ma.K. group build, and if you are reading these show notes, that means it is already in progress! Get your kit and join in on the fun! It will “end” with the release of the Falke kit in July. You can find Lincoln Wright at PaintonPlastic.com -a carefully curated location that is everything Lincoln Wright in the hobby! He is also on youtube, and his own group of the same title on Facebook You can find the members of the Modeling Insanity Podcast hanging out in our discord channel, with nightly build rooms (which are open and available all day, er’ry day-so if you’ve got some time at the bench, hop in a room, and someone is bound to join ya!). We keep the discord link pinned in featured.

| Special Episode - The Scale Model Podcast Roundtable Series Part 1 - The Producers | 23 Jan 2024 | 01:59:43 | |
In 1765, the Sons of Liberty first met, with a goal to be free from British rule. In 2023, the men, which will come to be known as “The Mutual Admiration Society” in future annals of history, met in a secret recording room. There they discussed topics ranging from “what’s editing like for your show” to “why is it you put so much time into your podcasts?” Are these two groups in any kind of parallel? Lol. Why would you even think that?! This is a hobby revolving around grown men building little plastic tanks, shops, airplanes and cars!

This episode has Whitey and D-Ran, of The Model Geeks infamy, joining in on the conversation here at the nut house! The topics for conversation were taken from the post Rob Adams put up in the days leading up to our recording. Our first discussion centers around going outside of your usual genre, and the pitfalls and possibilities that could offer . This one was a mash up of suggestions from Jeremy Elliot and Jason Hanscom. Our main topic is from Adam Griffin, and he asks about the differences in culture between genres. We start out strong talking about our experiences, but we still hit that kink in the rail and get derailed! New Kits In The News Miniart has their usual barrage of new kit announcements, including a PZ 234 w/ 7.5cm gun and full interior, and a PZ 234 w/ Luchs turret, Resin heads for their German Tank riders, Italeri has a 1/72 F-35 Lightning-CATOBAR version with parts for “beast mode” configuration (whatever THAT means) and die cut masks for the RAM panels. Also an Italian Army Armored car for the African front in 1/35th scale. In 1/24th scale, they also have an Alfa Romeo Giullia 1600 Spyder For the 48th scale aircraft builders, they also have a Mirage IIIE ...and finally, they also are releasing a few 1/56th scale British and German tanks. 56th scale is, keep in mind, the typical gaming scale . And finally, a little something to get your Weird Shit-O –Meter tinglng! Mantis Miniatures in 1/35th scale, A diver, modeled after the German deep sea diving suits, with a choice of two heads, one of which is one of a diver that long ago ran out of air. Animal set 55 is an octopus in 1/35th scale and a few crabs, mollusks and star fish added in for those dep sea vignettes . Animal Set 56 and 57 are both ‘scavengers, one set is vultures eating a bovine carrion, and the other is a pack of what appear to be hyenas Upcoming Shows Aug 10 -’24 Virginia Shootout 100 Roanoke BLVD- This is a Region 2 show put on by IPMS Roanoke Valley 2024 Virginia ShootOut | IPMS/USA Home Page (ipmsusa.org) August 24th ‘Bash to the 80’s Modelfest PBN Church IPMS Flight 19 ModelFest '24 | Flight 19 I.P.M.S.

| Special Episode - Simulcast with the Black Rifle Model Worx Group | 24 Apr 2024 | 01:59:11 | |
On This episode of the Insanity, the inmates do a simulcast episode with the Lads from Black Rifle Model Worx Group. We join Luke Carswell, Adam Challenger and Stuart Goodswen on the BRMW Youtube Channel. Frank Donati and Rob Adams are live from Frankie’s basement (Dont Ask) and Tuch is there. Hot off the heels of Mosquitocon, Rob disparages the British accent, while discussing the differences between British/European shows and American shows. TL;DR: other than the competition versus display only, its the distances! Adams wins another banner contest....on his own page! and Riv takes offense...again! And Adams finds a new laxative-airplane turbulence. We also hit on online purchases, prices, and shipping, and why is everything so expensive? Black Rifle Model Worx does a Kits for Kids Fundraiser, and we lay the groundwork of being involved with their next one later this year.

Episode 24 – It's Your Right To Brag...
Rob Riv vents about how Bad Santa was treated when he was trying to help in a Beginner’s Modeling group and an Admin was giving him grief about a misunderstanding on HIS part. But, we determined that is just how it is in some groups. Then we get into the conversation about our trip to Connecticut and Armorcon. The good, the meh and well....there wasn't too much ugly. It was a great show, with lots of amazing work to take in. Aromorcon Debrief leads into the topic of “Brag Books” and research of our builds and how it can benefit the builder, both in judges’ scoring and buiding to accuracy. We also talk Turkey...Shoot that is! Its coming up fast. Four days of scale modeling debauchery! midnight Thanksgiving day to midnight the Sunday after, November 28th-December 1st. On The Bench Donati - MRAP for the Group Build and Build Review IBG 1/35th Lancia Truck with AA gun Rob Adams - 1/9th scale Ninja Turtles, the MRAP Justin - Revell ‘71 Hemi Cuda, The Rear end is getting Tubbed!

Bad Santa and Tuch discover that their YouTube algorithms are now cycling, as they both are being suggested Sully’s videos and Bob Ross’s Joy of Painting Our main discussion topic was vignettes and diorama scenes. What is a diorama? What is a vignette? What is the difference? Does it even matter? Boiled down, and it completely makes sense…Frankie has the answer!
