Micro Machines is a group of like minded individuals coming together to discuss our favorite subjects, real life armor pieces and modelling and somehow mashing them together into a podcast of history/comedy that can only be described as a "hot mess of stupid jokes, silly memes, a little bit of learning and a whole lot of fun".

Takao & Yukikaze ... trying to cash-in on Godzilla Minus One? We watched it the other night and it is a very good thing when one's partner immediately suggests: you should make a diorama of that!
A great anniversary episode and congrats to the other participants of the GB!
Would have been nice to see that Yamato set 🤦🏻♂️🤣. My first episode. Enjoyed it. I don’t think I want to talk about what harness…
Very informative on the Flower Class Corvettes but that portion of the program would have been greatly improved with just Callum and none of the other "color" commentators.
He said bulge.
That was awesome, I learned so much about the M8. I wish I had known that all when I built mine for your Battle of the Bulge group, build! Good job guys.
And either AUSCAM or MERDC Desert Red for vehicles.
I may be slightly biased but Aussie DPCU does it for me.
⚡️⚡️GREAT STUFF⚡️⚡️I’m glad I found your channel I look forward to seeing more of your videos📺 I do mostly TRANSFORMER Stop Motion 🎬📸🎞️ I hope you enjoy my animation‼️ 1:18:59
great show diary! FYI the Fiat br.20 was used by the IJA airforce as a stop-gap before the Ki-21 Sally was available; used in China/Mongolia hence the Republic of China Air Force I-153s in the cover art;-) It seems the BR.20 and the I-153 were contemporaries at least up to the Battle of Khalkhin Gol in 1939
Great episode
All that's left to do is to make a varnish tier list and to put Vallejo Matt rattlecan varnish at the very bottom
thanks for this, it is a great summary. good timing too - I've been thinking about a pacific theatre B-25 but a bit disappointed there aren't more recent toolings. An Arma Hobby version would be a dream, I hope they do eventually move on to larger machines like this - in the meantime I've been coin flipping between the new boxing of the B-25C/D from Airfix and the Hasegawa B-25J.
Another great episode! The Academy kits along with the Pro Modeler kits are all reboxed accurate miniatures, very good kits. I'm excited about that 9T Vomag, can't believe a kit is actually going to be made of it
The Chieftain mentioned on his inside the hatch video on the panther that despite mud and the like getting between the road wheels might cause issues, he said he found it hard to believe that frozen mud would stop the wheels from turning when the tank starts in a low gear, the high torque that comes with using a low gear.
thanks for doing these epic guides. It really is super useful, especially when you get to the kits section. Since Arma and Eduard have been busy releasing lots of new Hurricane kits, maybe a good time to do an episode on the Hurricane? So many variants and so many new kits on the market... actually same goes for the Rufe.
I would suggest episode 28, we covered the Hawker Hurricane on that episode. Glad you're enjoying the podcast mate.
@@micromachinespodcast1213 sweet, I totally forgot I'd seen that before, so now i get to watch again. but i already notice how much the kit situation has changed in the meantime (at some point it might be good to have you go back and update kits news for past MMP subjects)
Another great episode! I am excited for that new skyhawk, who doesn't like a scooter. Have to say I am a bit bummed you didn't do a three way comparison of the Fiat 2000, 3000 and 500 😂
The podcast was certainly fun to watch but I have to ask if most of the mentioned designs are real. Despite Panzerjagerwagen E90 jagdtiger and krokodil, Panzerjagerwagen E50 and some other tanks not making any sense from the engineering perspective, the blueprints of those vehicles also look entirely made up (you can tell it by certain parts of vehicles being drawn with thicker and darker lines). I'm not exactly saying that they are fake but I would like to get a source (if there is one) as I've never heard of any E-series tanks except the most famous ones. I would also recommend checking out ConeOfArc and Tank Encyclopedia (I don't remember how the site is called for sure) as I get information from there regarding WWII vehicles.
Those small scale ICM kits are fun to build, I did similar URAL 375D last year. The only thing I didn’t like was the prominent mold line along the hood, or bonnet, if you prefer. It was horrible to get rid of.
35:30 The one on the top left has what's known as the Rinaldi turret, named after its designer Michael Rinaldi.
The Flower class corvette was a SHIP! Not a bl***y boat!,
Sorry to be pedantic but referring to a ship as a boat is akin to referring to a Range Rover as a Jeep, or a Rolls Royce as a jalopy. . Lol
cant put it in competition when it was done before the build began guys.
Not going to lie, we definitely didn't remember the rule about that during the recording... We just got so excited about the builds 😂
Thanks Callum, that was a great education on WWI tanks - honestly, I had no idea there were so many variants. And OMG, Dennis - your Tamiya N1K1 Kyofu is insanely good. Floatplanes ftw;-)
Takom is a over rated and lump of shit garbage company./ None of the Takom kit fit together well and the engineering is always poor
Just an L take from a 🤡 to be honest
Where on the teddy-bear did the Takom kit touch you? On a serious note, why so much hatred towards Takom? Everyone I have ever spoken with would say they're an amazing brand with great kits that go together well and have a good amount of detail. I just built their M114 w/Interior, it was spectacular.
I got a few of their kits in the stash and have built their King Tiger with full interior. It went together wonderfully, I will say they make kits for builders that have a moderate amount of skill and not those who just throw together bandai snap kits
Excellent episode!
great work also could you guys make an Episode on the T-10 ? it's in my eyes one of the most interesting post war heavy tanks example being the only one with a loading assistance device and in 1957 with the t-10M entering survive with delta-D delta-D is a system used by a lot of soviet MBT's and it automatically and dynamically measures the speed of the tank using a tachometer to calculate the distance traveled and automatically subtracted this from the range to the target in the ballistic solution. The Delta-D system in the T2S-29-14 also took the orientation of the turret in azimuth as an input and dynamically generated new calculations using a cosine function. For example, if the T-10M was moving diagonally obliquely relative to the gunner's target at a 60° angle, the system would subtract the distance at a rate equivalent to the Cosine of 60 degrees, or 0.5. As such, if the tank was moving at a steady speed of 18 km/h (5 m/s), then the system would subtract the distance at a rate of 2.5 m/s. The system would continue to run until it is reset by the gunner, so the gunner could make a single range measurement and fire continuously at the target while the driver performs maneuvers with the tank without needing to update his range measurement. The distance traveled by the tank was calculated by measuring the engine driveshaft speed; it was an odometer, to put it simply, but this system was independent from the driving odometer of the tank. and other interesting features have a good day :)
Why not? We'll add it to the list, although we'll need to do a lot of research to match your knowledge on the T-10 but we'll endeavour to try. Cheers.
@@micromachinespodcast1213 i would recommend you check out tankograd's article for info on the T-10 the article is simply called T-10 ( not to be confused with a older one they have called T-10 guest article) i hope this helps
promo sm
i can never get over the pictures showing the full scale of the landing like at 3:49 - culmination of a year+ or planning, production and preparation. and people bitch about the Ukrainian counter-offensive being "slow" ... f that; it is not being done for the benefit of your FYP! this stuff is on a scale and complexity that most people cannot comprehend
if you want a good source on soviet tanks and ifvs check out tankograd they do full technical backdowns and use a mix of NATO and soviet source from manuals to tests and also studies on the vehicle's and there systems and the quality and sheer detail of there articles is unmatched and looks at the vehicles in a unbiased manner and also shows a lot of context for certain design choices have a good day :)
Cheers, definitely gonna check out tankograd!
@@micromachinespodcast1213 if you guys plan on covering the bmp family of IFVs. you should check out tankograd they have an article on a three bmps them being the bmp1, 2 and 3 i hope this helps in the Future
by the way you guys kipped the leo 2A0, 2A1, 2A2 and 2A3 2a4 entered production in 1985 while the leo 2A0 in 1979 38:49 so you should show a photo of a 2A0 not a 2A4
Dennis mentioned during the episode why he skipped them (because I ask him as well haha) and don't worry, we shall punish him for showing the wrong photo accordingly (50 lashes)
@@micromachinespodcast1213 i see have a good day :)
Hey! I only deserve like 43
I'm totally with Sir Garrison on figures. I'd broaden it too .. esp. with laser scanning and 3D printing, why I we still stuck with such a narrow range of figure options? 8 out of 10 of my diorama ideas get parked because "can't find any suitable figures"
Thanks Paul!! Man, same here.. a lot of my diorama layouts are based on figures, so having such a wide variety, one that could easily be 20x the size we currently have, would make such a wonderful difference and open up so many opportunities!
I think Callum broke the definition of "need" when you got to the Martin XB-19;-)
It's definitely a need for me, it's an awesome aircraft.
Nice one Trash Panda! This was fun - great builds from a great group;-)
Laughed so hard with the BMP-2. A kit we really need is a 1/35th Huey that is not crap. With all the Vietnam vets in the hobby you would think several would be available.
Congratulations to the winners!
I'm still shocked I got 3rd. Congrats to everyone involved. It was a fun group build even if my sanity left me. Looking forward to the new ones
can't wait to see the M113 flame thrower in action!
after I started following you, for some reason my IG feed is now full of pandas. please explain! ;-)
I’m so glad my stickers were featured on the DAWN
woohoo, patreonS!
Cheap and simple. I saw a Ukrainian 100mm Rapira AT gun mounted on an MTLB, sort of the same idea.
You guys forgot the post-war Churchill FV3903; Basically a MK VII with the L9 165mm gun, lobbing HESH ammo, also used later on the Centurion AVRE. Anyway, the Churchill tanks are victim of so many misconceptions. "Fun fact"; the Royal Tank Regiment was given very little say in the A22 design process. Already at that time, they were actually aware of the infantry tank doctrine becoming obsolete, but their reservations were pushed aside by a toxic and stubborn old-boys network within the War Office and their nepotistic supporters who insisted on yet another infantry tank. So the RTR was given the option of very little say in the project or nothing at all. With that said; the Churchill and the German Panzer IV actually share a very similar starting point; that of being infantry support tanks; Both are of equal width - important in regards to turret ring diameter - and both started out with howitzer guns to deal with enemy infantry and "softskin" targets. Both feature engineering standards originating from the 1930s and both feature similarly powered engines; 300 HP for the Panzer IV, 350 HP for the Churchill. However, the crucial difference that holds back the Churchill is its hull revolving tracks. That is the single most detrimental aspect that kept the Churchill from having a bigger turret ring and as a result, it limited gun options severely. In fact, I'd say the Churchill is a British 'Panzer IV' overloaded with armor. It's not a true Heavy Tank, as many of those stupid tank videogames try to make people believe. Then there's also the big misconception about the engine. Sure, it wasn't as powerful as they wanted it to be but as you pointed out in your video, at the time they were already very aware of the fact that the Churchill needed something stronger than the Meadows engine, especially with the Blitzkrieg tactics becoming more and more apparent. Unfortunately, engine development was sort of handicapped due to them not being given access to precious aluminum - priority for that was given to the RAF developments - and the engine bay compartment was limited in space as well; hence the Bedford TwinSix. 350 HP on a 40ton tank might sound insufficient - however, the secret sauce here is the drivetrain and gearbox; These helped the engine to output high levels of torque all the way from low revs to high revs, nearly matching the peak torque of the famous Sherman Ford V8 GAA engine. You should look up this particular youtube video which shows Shermans vs Churchills on mobility trials in the jungle. Despite the fact the radial engine of the Sherman having more horsepower output, the Churchill manages to beat it in terms of climbing steep slopes and felling thick trees. This is because the Churchill's engine having incredible torque band while the radial angine in the Sherman had crap low end torque. To conclude; Even though I love the Churchill tank, I suppose it should have been left on the drawing board - instead they probably would've been off better by simply making the Matilda 2 design wider, allowing for a bigger turret ring and gun - because the Matilda 2 design was already so successfully tried and tested.
my mom bought some of his paint for my birthday, im still waiting on it.
That was a great year y'all, looking forward to season 2!
happy birthday guys, great achievement. my goal for next year: spread the word because you should have 10x the audience. You're doing something pretty unique and I love it - a global conversation by the "next gen", and not just jokes - no shying away from geeking out on history and the technical
PS waiting the the weird out- takes on patreon! ;-)
Glad you enjoyed Paul!! Thanks for the kind words, your ongoing support and spreading the word. We have a whole other year is ahead of us :)
Congratulations on one year guys!
