After a lenghty break due to corrupted files, illness and general business, Episode 6 looks at whether we are living in a golden age of modelling, or in the twilight hours of a dying hobby. check out Alex's Blog spot for files and kits we looked at to determine our conclusion....

in this episode of Beyond the Box, Mos & Alex talk (often in a very roundabout way!) about the factors that go into making a model kit suitable for a new modeller. In Hit, Miss or Twist, they go through their choices in the categories, holding to a self-imposed maximum price of £15 - not counting ebay specials! Do you agree with our assessments, and do you have suggestions of your own? We'd love to hear from you!

Mos 6510 Models:
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MOS6510Models

In this episode, Mos and Alex take a look at new releases that are NOT new toolings, and ask the question - What makes a new release "new"? Is it new parts, new decals, a new box, or just the fact that it's not been released for a while? In Hit, Miss or Twist, we examine some selections from the announced "new" releases from various model manufacturers in 2023 to give some personal examples of what we've been discussing.

What do you think makes a new release? Where does the point lie at which it becomes companies selling us old rope for new money? Let us know by getting in touch with us through our YouTube channels, or our by email at mannmomo.am@gmail.com. Also please do contact us if you've answers to any of the questions we raised in the show, ideas for future episodes or just to say hello!

See you next time!
