Hey Modelers! Welcome to the ModelGeeks Podcast, a place where we talk about anything and everything relating to scale models. Sit back and buckle up for an exciting journey into the world of scale modeling. It doesn’t matter whether you’re new to the hobby, been around since Moses, or that you build aircraft, armor, ships, or automobiles. We hope to have a little bit for each of you. Our format is simple; modeling news you can use with a few tips and techniques, some lighthearted banter (maybe a beer or two...) and most importantly, interaction with you, the listener!

What’s Crack-a-Lack’n Modelgeeks! Welcome to Episode 126 of The Modelgeeks Podcast! In this episode, the Modelgeeks give the usual run down on what's going on in their respective model worlds. Nemo shares with the listeners that he will be featured on an upcoming MH-53E release from Furball-Aero design! He also talks about the Red Pill 1/32 F-4B that finally landed in Southern Maryland. May be the only one in Maryland! The Geeks run through the listener email and give a little insight to the LCS program (hint: it is funny!) The listeners share that the Spitfire episode by El Presidentè was a “cracker” of an episode! (see what we did there) lol. We received a ton of pics focused on your finished builds and uploaded them to the Modelgeeks website. Keep ‘em coming! Nemo also gives a tip on how to successfully apply 1Man Army masks and how to produce excellent results. The topic for the Episode is “Are you a Builder or Collector?" The geeks ask the question and give their thoughts on what they think and what it means to be either one. The geeks give some pretty good explanations on which side of the coin you fall on and to keep it fun, no fence riding and you have to pick one or the other.

MGPC Ep.125 "The Modeling Lens: how has your perspective of the hobby changed?"
Greetings my fellow ModelGeeks, and welcome to the MGPC Episode 125! Nemo hosts this episode, with a full house. We chat about the latest and greatest in everyone's model world and get caught up with what's happening in the hobby. The mail bag was full again with over 10 emails, which is awesome! We really appreciate the emails and love hearing from you all. Also, thanks again for the listener gallery submissions. Please keep the emails and gallery pics coming and we can't wait to see your work, discuss them on the podcast, and present them on our website. For the main topic, we talk about how our "Modeling Lens" has evolved and changed. As youngsters building models, we all built as much as we could and didn't pay attention to accuracy, properly thinned paint, PSI, or weathering, etc.. we just built, and loved every minute of it. Compare that with how we view modeling almost 40 years later, and there are some significant changes in how we view the hobby. It's a great topic and we hope you all give it a listen.

We’ll also cover what we all have happening in our “Model World”, what each of us has been up to at our benches, and other aspects of the hobby we all try to enjoy!

MGPC Ep 112 "The Ultimate Model Kit"
Welcome to Episode 112 of The Modelgeeks Podcast! There is the usual banter and what we’re doing in our respective modeling domains to include new things we’ve found of interest. And yes, we get off topic quite a lot in this episode. After Mail Call we discuss what we believe would constitute "the perfect kit". We try to balance genre/subject, detail, complexity/parts count, and price. Inspired in part by Jonathan Green’s post in the shack…and the Kotare kits. We would like to thank all our listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit show circuit.

Producer's note
Steal the structure. Not the show.
Keep the useful structure, then change the audience, point of view, and voice until the idea is unmistakably yours.
