A Podcast Dedicated to Scale Modeling, as well as the News and Events Around the Hobby.

Mike Baskette

Mike first experienced the hobby of scale modeling building a Monogram B-24 with his father. This experience soon had him building on his own, building most of Monogram’s 1/48th scale WW2 fighters at least once, and quite a few Revell, Airfix, and MPC along the way. It was mostly planes, but a few ships, and even some 1/76 and 1/72nd scale military vehicles. The latter were to augment his collection of AIrfix HO/OO soldiers, which were used to fight just about every major battle of WWII on the family billiard table.

It was all typical “kid modeling” until the summer of 1981, when Mike found a copy of Military Modeler magazine on a newsstand shelf while on summer vacation. From that point it was 1/35th scale armor all the time. Discovering FineScale Modeler magazine shortly after, furthered his interest in skills and techniques development, building on his love of the hobby.

Since those early days, Mike has had some on and off seasons in scale modeling, as well as a number of years in model railroading serving as a distraction. Now with the help of the Plastic Model Mojo podcast and the community that has grown around the show, Mike’s enjoyment of the hobby is at an all time high!
