Episode 22 - Is It Real or Just Your Imagination

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
