Welcome to Episode 77 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  In this episode, we kick off with  what we are in work on, what new items are out there, and what we have picked up lately. 

We discuss some new kits and accessories that we’ve seen lately, and El-Presidenté will tell us “What’s New in 72!”.  Then Nemo, Frilldo, and Whitey provide a summary of Northern Virgina IPMS’ Model Classic, while El-Presidenté gives us his impressions of his first AMPS Nationals at South Bend.

We end with a discussion on what we believe are the best kits of some of our favorite modeling subjects.

We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit more of the shows coming up this busy 2024 as well as at the Nats in Madison Wisconsin. If you happen to see us at a show, set up at our table come on over and say hello, we may even put you in front of the mic!

Welcome to Episode 76 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  In this episode, we kick off with  what we are in work on, what new items are out there, and what we have picked up lately. D-ran and Whitey touch briefly of their recent trip up to MosquitoCon32 but for more on that go back and check out last weeks “off timeline” drop of the MosquitoCon32 Wrap Up show. El-Presidenté will tell us “What’s New in 72!”, and we’ll end with a discussion on what we think each of us can or would like to improve upon in each of our model building skillsets.

We also had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Jefferey Garrity, THE RARE-PLANE DETECTIVE of Rare-Plane Detective hobby store…a repository, data base, and archive of hard-to-find model kits and aftermarket. If you’re hitting a hobby show on the East Coast, West Coast, anywhere in between, and Parts Unknown, chances are Jeff and his sidekick Winston and helpful assistant Liz are going to be there in the vending area offering up all the HTF and even the latest kits at “Hobby Show Prices”!

Welcome to Episode 72 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  
 
In this episode, the Modelgeeks discuss what they are in work on, what new items are out there that they may have picked up, and generally what’s going on in the hobby from the perspective of a bunch of primarily model airplane builders.

Have you ever looked back at your past builds and thought to yourself; "I wish I could go back and give that one kit a complete redo."?  Well in this episode were going to do just that!  We each discuss, not only the kit we would like to rebuild but also discuss what kit or kits we would like to see re-tooled. 

We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit some of the shows coming up this busy 2024.

Welcome to Episode 71 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  
 
In this episode, the Modelgeeks discuss what they are in work on, what new items are out there that they may have picked up, and generally what’s going on in the hobby from the perspective of a bunch of primarily model airplane builders.

For the main topic we sit down with Rudy and Danielle of LionHeart Hobby in Kyle TX for a talk about what motivated them to take the leap into opening a brick-and-mortar hobby store at a time when, at least in the U.S., such shops are on the decline. Hmmm, maybe they’re on to something???
