• Episode 54: Barry & Jim's Adventures (and Frustrations) with the 1/16th Universal Carrier Kit

  In Episode 52, when Jim expressed interest in the new 1/16th-scale Gecko Models Universal Carrier kit, Barry suggested a “buddy build,” with each of them tackling the beast—something he now regrets. This episode is devoted to their ongoing frustrations with the build (and, for Jim, some fun, too). Although Barry initially suggested the idea, he later worried that no one would be interested in talk about a kit few if any of the listeners might build. But Jim thought it wound up being about more than the build, focusing on how your hosts each approach modeling and the inherent and inevitable problem-solving.For photos of what we discuss in each episode, visit the Small Subjects blog on boxdioramas.com: http://www.boxdioramas.com/smallsubjectsJoin one of our Facebook groups:Historex:https://www.facebook.com/groups/smallsubjectshistorexFlats:https://www.facebook.com/groups/smallsubjectsflatsOr hang out in the Small Subjects Hospitality Suite and discuss anything else miniatures related:https://www.facebook.com/groups/smallsubjectshospitalityemail us at [email protected]
