    I genuinely think the whole freemo setup is crucial to the entire hobby, no matter what scale it is. Allowing people to do as they wish with no judgement. No matter who you are, what you like, you can just have fun, and that’s something I think people forget to do and take too seriously. We just all have to have fun. Great stuff will awesome video as always.

      I couldn’t agree more! Thank you!

      I think it is one of the best ways forward because it reduces the barrier to entry, but also fosters the social aspect of the hobby. It allows for the flexibility that you can't get from more traditional club layouts and memberships.

    Will, great update on an exciting new initiative. It looks amazing, and sounds like it is getting a big take-up.
    Good luck with it all, and I will follow progress with keen interest.
    Thank you for the update, and sharing, cheers, and stay safe, Michael

    Nice video Will. It was great to see everyone's modules at the meet up at AMRA. I'm also excited to get a start on my own module and eventually participate at a meet up.

    Woohoo, good on ya Will! A warm welcome to the BRMA, my friend! This year is ten years since joining the BRMA and I have to say it is the best group where one can learn a lot from and have some really awesome mates as well, some whom I call almost family to me. So, on that note, I look forward to catching up in Victoria in October for the convention!
    Keep well. Regards, Caleb

      Thanks Alan! We’re certainly keen to see where it goes!
      I’d still love to see Free-Mo Ho get off the ground but there was nothing but fighting and groups simple refusal to work together was pretty disappointing which is one reason we went down this path!

    This is awesome, this concept is virtually perfect to introduce new people to the hobby in an open social setting that doesn’t include yearly membership fees or club politics!

    Pretty fkd. A whole lot of benchwork, next to nil realistic scenery or self-bourne structure & a whole lota 'yes-mate' & photography that shows off someone else's skill at creating realistic models.
