PMM Twelve Minute Modelsphere: July 2025

Tired of the frustration that comes with masking canopies? You're
not alone. This episode kicks off with an introduction to Kit
Masx, a company born from the simple truth that "manually
masking canopies sucks." Founded by Kevin and Janelle, this
modeling business now offers over 400 precision-cut mask sets,
with Kevin personally testing each one multiple times to ensure
perfect fits. The best part? If you reach out, you're talking
directly to the owners—real modelers who understand your
challenges and will replace or refund your purchase if you're not
completely satisfied.

We then dive into recent modeling events, particularly Wonderfest
held at the end of May. The quality of models continues to amaze,
with expanded Gundam displays and increasingly sophisticated
builds featuring lighting and motorization. A standout piece was
a gorgeously lit recreation of the Victorian-style spacecraft
from "The Black Hole." For those looking ahead, IPMS
Nationals is just five weeks away, with pre-registration now
closed and excitement building among the community.

The modeling community continues to thrive online as well. Our
Facebook "dojo" is approaching 5,400 members with over 20 posts
daily showcasing works-in-progress and completed builds. We've
managed to squash Facebook's intrusive AI-generated content in
our group, keeping the focus on real modelers sharing their
genuine work. Looking forward, we tease upcoming episodes
featuring interviews with Harvey Low and Bob Bair, plus
additional vendor spotlights. Whether you're a seasoned modeler
or just starting out, join our growing community...  and
don't forget to take advantage of Kit Masx MOJO15

thank you!
