Yup! Another AMPS Episode! But the last show episode for a while...

This time, the guys have Jeff ‘El Jeffe’ Herne on as a guest co-host and they break down the different perspectives from the Amps Nats.

Some highlights: Justin joins the Steve Andreano Driving Club, by driving the car from his brand new Playstation controller, while Rob becomes an awards winning back seat driver! Rob Adams and Frankie meet up with Silent Tyler from the buildrooms on their way through southern Canadia, and Tuch crashes the Belsheim residencs with Chris Green

We also break down the show, the debauchery and the hilarity with our friends that have transcended from “weird Internet” to 3D friends!

We also talk about what we were able to pillage from the vendors as well!

Tuch knocks it out of the park with some on the spot interviews with Chris Graeter, Jeff Herne, Adam ‘Dr. Feelgood’ Jackson, Harrison Bueler, Doctor Dave, John Bonanni, and Daniel Brubaker, one of the coolest kids we have ever talked the hobby with!

On This episode of the Insanity, the inmates do a simulcast episode with the Lads from Black Rifle Model Worx Group. We join Luke Carswell, Adam Challenger and Stuart Goodswen on the BRMW Youtube Channel. Frank Donati and Rob Adams are live from Frankie’s basement (Dont Ask) and Tuch is there.

Hot off the heels of Mosquitocon, Rob disparages the British accent, while discussing the differences between British/European shows and American shows. TL;DR: other than the competition versus display only, its the distances!

Adams wins another banner contest....on his own page! and Riv takes offense...again! And Adams finds a new laxative-airplane turbulence.

We also hit on online purchases, prices, and shipping, and why is everything so expensive?

Black Rifle Model Worx does a Kits for Kids Fundraiser, and we lay the groundwork of being involved with their next one later this year.

Episode 14 "On the Road to AMPS Nats... “ As you are listening, the guys should all be converging on South Bend! John Charvat gets us even more hyped up for NATS! We discuss his history with AMPS, the past shows and most importantly, this year’s show! The guys also discuss their new purchases and projects on their benches. This did get recorded a few weeks back, so you may already have seen some of these builds shared as completed by now; Riv also comes at Frankie D about his choice of apparel, while trying to explain to the rest of us what the hell “Oaktag” is... Frankie D talks about the Moosaroo Cup, and his entry. (of course, by now we know the results of this contest...). The kit was a teenie-tiny little 1/72 scale Russian/Ukranian Ural truck.

Group Build updates:

The Red Beach One Studios World War One group build is ongoing, make sure to check that one out if you're interested in WWI subjects. Justin completed his German Pioneer figure, Rob Adams is working on his Mk V Tank (which he has since completed-cant wait to see this thing at NATS!) 48 in 48 M4H group build- this was a fun time, and has since been completed.
