Joerg Bender is the owner of Things From the Basement. He comes on to discuss what’s happening with their MDF terrain. Things from the Basement has 13 main lines of MDF terrain and tabletop gaming accessories.
Jonathan and Joerg talk specifically about the Exploratory Submarine USS Adrian Benson. The USS Adrian Benson is from their Victorian Science Fiction line. It is a tribute piece in memory of Wargaming Recon co-host Adrian Benson. Adrian tragically passed away in 2021 due to esophageal cancer. They talk about the design process and inspiration for the submarine. Joerg compares the design process for this and other kits that he has designed. He then spends a moment talking about the influence Adrian had on Joerg and why he decided to name the submarine after him.
Joerg speaks on how COVID-19 and world affairs have impacted his business over the past few and how he plans on overcoming those obstacles.
Jonathan gets Joerg to open up and give some teasers and talk about some new releases for Things from the Basement.
Joerg lets everyone know what his future convention plans are; so we can all see him in person and buy some of his amazing MDF kits. If you are not lucky enough to meet him at a convention you can also find him at the following locations:
