In this new how-to video series, two friends of IPMS Toronto team up to provide a master class seminar in building the Tamiya Panther Type G. Join Dave from Hornet Hobbies and Robert from Barbakan Products as they take you step by step in building and finishing an armour model.
In the first of our Ajax 35 videos, we’re starting with something a bit different. We wanted to showcase the vendors that make the show possible – to give modelers an idea of what they can expect to find when they visit the Ajax show.

Renown armor modeller and teacher of the modelling arts, Adam Wilder, travels from the US to Hornet Hobbies to present several seminars on the Sept. 18-20 weekend. Join for this rare opportunity to up your modelling game and learn specialized techniques.
