(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 26, 2007 ) Detroit, Michigan -- The N.A.M.E.S. Expo draws scratch model builders from all over the world. AS the name implies, scratch modelers are model makers who build scale models from scratch – fabricating every component of their models from raw materials.The Fourth Annual N.A.M.E.S. Expo has been hailed by model enthusiasts as one of the very best. . . and now Aerial Productions has re-released this classic modeling video on DVD. The video is a professionally-produced documentary that features the “best of show” models.The one hour video documentary, which includes an original music score by famed world class musician Peter “Madcat” Ruth, was shot at the B.F. Yack Arena in Wyandotte, Michigan – the former home of the annual N.A.M.E.S. Expo. The Expo has since moved to a much larger site in Toledo, Ohio – but modeling fans who attended the Fourth Annual N.A.M.E.S. Expo agree that it was one of the very best expos to date. For modeling fans that weren’t able to attend the Fourth Annual N.A.M.E.S. Expo, Aerial’s new DVD provides a rare opportunity to see what they missed.The Fourth Annual N.A.M.E.S. Expo video has been critically acclaimed by the two top modeling magazines, MODELTEC and Home Shop Machinist. This is what they had to say about the documentary:“The number of professionally photographed modeling videos is on the increase, and the statistics are helped along by this particular offering, which is a tour of the Fourth Annual North American Model Engineering Society Exposition . . . If you haven’t yet had a chance to attend one of the N.A.M.E.S. Expositions in Wyandotte, Michigan, you will probably be somewhat awed by the model work in this one-hour video. Using broadcast-quality equipment, the producers moved close in to many models and got up close and personal with a number of modelers. Close-in shots feature everything from shiny model airplanes to wobbling wall engines to steam locomotives – the latter to the sound of famed blues harmonica player Peter Madcat Ruth’s rendition of The Wabash Cannonball.“Interviews with some notable modelers include Paul Jacobs, Rudy Kouhoupt, Wayne Grenning, and Ray Hasbrouck. Paul discussed his approach to modeling his British textile mill engine, and also talked about making patterns and castings. Ray Hasbrouck gives detailed descriptions of his working model of the engine used in the Civil War Ironclad, Monitor. Wayne Grenning discusses the design and operation of his unusual and elegant 1866 Otto Langen engine.“One thing that very definitely does come across in the video is the sense of overwhelmed awe when one is confronted by a literal sea of fine model work. The Fourth Annual Expo was my first time at N.A.M.E.S. that I can well remember the feeling. The video producers were obviously as much entranced by the quality and quantity of the models as by the number of people who had come long distances to see them. Their viewpoint is much as you would find in a report done by any prime time news team, a look at us by someone as intrigued by us as by our models. As a result, this would probably be a good film for clubs to add to their libraries, to be used on such occasions as public shows and run days, as an introduction for all those inquisitive common citizens to a very uncommon hobby.”- George R. Broad MODELTEC Magazine“The producers of this video have seized the chance to provide the waiting world with a full-color look at the Fourth Annual N.A.M.E.S. Show. To a musical backdrop by Peter Madcat Ruth, the viewer will enjoy close-up shots of operating engines, interviews with talented modelers such as Paul Jacobs, Ray Hasbrouck, and Rudy Kouhoupt. If you wanted to be there and just couldn’t make it happen, this is the next best thing. If you’re considering the trip for next year’s exposition, the video will whet your appetite and cement your plans.”- Clover McKinley Home Shop MachinistFor more information about the Fourth Annual N.A.M.E.S Expo video, and to see still frames from the DVD, go to the Aerial Productions website at:http://www.scratchmodelvideo.com.
