PMM Vendor Spotlight with updates from KITMASX and SQUADRON: Episode 126

Plastic Model Mojo

Kentucky Dave was electrified by the creativity and camaraderie at two model shows, while Mike's battle with internet issues brought its own set of hurdles, all washed away by the rejuvenating MMSI show in Chicagoland. With Three Floyds Gumball Head and Westside Brewing's Hefeweizen Wheat Ale in hand, we celebrate the launch of the Yorkton Scale Modelers Club in Saskatchewan, thanks to listener Will Woods. We explore the art of patience in modeling, embracing the "walk away" strategy to tackle challenges and learn from the wisdom of contributors like Michael Illuzzi and Lee Edmonds. Listener updates and Facebook messages keep our community buzzing with news and insights.
Our podcast thrives on community connection and shared knowledge. We're thrilled to have Kevin Hedrich from KITMASX in Canada share his journey of transforming a hobby into a thriving business. Kevin's custom mask services for model kits are making waves, and he's eyeing a bright future with plans for a laser cutter and expanding into the European market. Meanwhile, Brandon Lowe from Squadron Mail Order talks about the exciting move to North Georgia and the development of a user-friendly app to enhance customer experience. Their passion for preserving history is reflected in the plans for a new retail store and museum, showcasing the beloved Squadron Signal Publications.
As Squadron looks forward to 2025, there's anticipation in the air with plans for a new store and warehouse. Squadron has exciting projects on the horizon, including a Planes, Names, and Dames book on B-24 aircraft. Recent model kit acquisitions, favorite brews, and listener feedback fuel our enthusiasm for what's next. We’re grateful for the community’s support and engagement, and can't wait to bring you more stories, more insights, and more modeling mojo in our upcoming episodes.
