The Wheel of Accidental Wisdom with Ed Baroth: PMM Episode 137

The modeling community comes alive in this episode as Mike
and Kentucky Dave return from Heritage Con at the Canadian
Warplane Heritage Museum, where connections proved even more
valuable than the contests and vendors. Their journey to the
Great White North yielded far more than just additions to their
stash – it rekindled that irreplaceable modeling spirit that
comes from face-to-face interactions with fellow
enthusiasts. 



Listeners will discover the power of in-person events as
our hosts share how meeting podcast fans, spending time with
friends, and seeing exceptional models on display has energized
their passion for the hobby. From their strategic approach to
travel (stopping at Michigan Toy Soldier en route) to reuniting
with familiar faces and meeting new ones, the episode captures
what makes the modeling community special.



The mailbag segment addresses fascinating questions about
tweezers (with recommendations beyond the hobby world), the
ongoing "scale wars" debate, and creative organization methods
from listeners worldwide. These practical discussions showcase
how modelers continue to refine their craft through shared
wisdom



A special treat arrives with the return of the "Wheel of
Accidental Wisdom" featuring guest Ed Baroth. This lively segment
tackles everything from household items repurposed for modeling
to productivity hacks and how the hobby has transformed over
decades. Ed's perspective as an experienced modeler adds depth to
conversations about batch building, nostalgia kits, lost parts,
and the technological advances that have revolutionized scale
modeling.



Between bench updates, modeling fluid reviews of Canadian
craft beers and whiskey, and heartfelt shoutouts to the people
who make the hobby special, this episode reminds us why we build:
for the joy of creation, certainly, but equally for the community
that surrounds us. Whether you're a longtime builder or just
starting your modeling journey, you'll find yourself nodding
along as Mike and Dave celebrate what truly matters – the
connections we forge through our shared passion.
