The mail bag was full again with over 15 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 Accuracy and Judging.  Should it play a part in the judging process?? Maybe... maybe not.   Organizations like AMPS have accuracy as part of their judging criteria whereas IPMS does not.   We give our thoughts and opinions on what we believe and dive into the details.  It's a great topic and we hope you all give it a listen.

In this episode, by suggestion from listener Brian Klimek, The Geeks are talking “Wish Lists”.  Manufacturers put them out all the time, we’ve all likely added our wants to one at some point and often kit makers have responded. Have any of your own “wish list” inputs ever been put to sprue?

We dive further into the Mail Bag with one particular email from a young modeler out of Canada who keeps plenty busy with life and manages to get in some bench time when he can, as well as hearing from long time listeners and friends.
 
From the Modelgeeks Podcast web page we take a look at the Listener Gallery and the fine work that has caught our eye....and of course we fire up the Gonk-U-Lator  to see who amongst our Patreon supporters is the big winner!  Support the show, and get your name into the Gonk-U-Lator  to win cool prizes!!!

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. 

The Pro Geek for the Episode and the winner of the Hypersonic Models NF-104A conversion is: Jay Howard!  The Beginner Geek for the episode, and the recipient of a Detail and Scale title of your choice is: Jared Jamieson!

Congratulations to our lucky winners and if you want to have a chance at the drawing, check out Pateron and sign up at either the Pro Geek or the Beginner Geek level to be eligible!

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.

In this episode The Geeks are talking model clubs! Why have them? Do you belong to one? What makes a “good” one? How can you start one? Stand by, take a listen, and we’ll get you the answers!

We recently attended IPMS Northern Virginia’s (https://www.novaipms.org/) annual contest and show, “The Model Classic”. We’ll talk about the cool models we saw on display, and we also caught up with Mr. Ben Pluth who was in town to present one of the special awards, the “Walt Champlin Best Cold War U.S. Aircraft Memorial Award”.

We also had the opportunity to talk to Mr. John Figueroa, Convention Chairman for the 2026 IPMS USA National Convention, happening Aug 5th – 8th, 2026. John and Mr. Tony Faust sat down and gave us an update on how all the pieces are coming together to make 2026 another IPMS Nationals to remember. 

Mr. Faust also hosts the Odin & Aesop Military History Podcast, well worth a listen! Be careful, you may learn something!

 In this episode we ask the simple question, “Is Modeling Fun??”. We often discuss the hobby in terms of it sounding like “work”, or that it is a chore, and leads to stress vice enjoyment. That’s not how it should be!

 El Presidenté is vacationing so, with guest host Rob Riviezzo (aka Rob Riv), of “The Modeling Insanity” podcast, we tackle that question and more. 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!

After a bit of banter, we share what is on our bench and what we have picked up lately.  After we mention our March Madness projects we cover Mail Call (keep the cards & letters coming folks!).  Don’t forget Listener Spotlight.  We then do a recap of the Old Dominion Open (Richmond IPMS) and then roll into a recap of future shows.  

Our Patreon Giveaway has expanded!  We have added a second giveaway for our non-Pro Geek patrons.  

Our main topic is “Photographing Scale Models” with Jeremy Moore.  Jeremy takes magazine quality photos of his models as can be seen on his web page and in the various modeling magazines his work where his work is published.  Even on the front cover!

After a bit of banter, we share what is happening in our modeling world.  Our Mail Call for this episode is mostly about the last episode, and we expand a bit on the topic of social anxiety and situational extrovert.  We then put a spotlight on on some of our listener's submissions to either the Listener Gallery or the Model Shack.  We then mention shows through the month of February.  After the Hobby shop shout out we conduct our Patreon Giveaway.  Then we discuss the main topic, "How do you organize your bench?"

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. If you happen to see us at a show come on over and say hello, we may even put you in front of the mic!

Happy 2026 to everybody! After our Christmas and holiday break we are ready to get back at it in front of the mics to talk models! We hope you enjoyed our mid break short episode drop from a couple of weeks ago. Now it’s time to get into another season of building, attending shows and bringing scale modeling content to your bench side.
 
In this episode we’ll cover what each of us have been up to model building wise…or not, as the case may be! “Mojo” with be a topic of discussion and how it, or the lack of it affects out time at the bench. We also visit with Mr. Jeffrey Kubiack of “Hypersonic Models” who brings us up to speed on the latest in shipping his products from his home base in Japan to his main customer base here in the U.S. Jeffrey also covers what Hypersonic has in store in new product development coming soon!
 
Take a seat, relax, and pull out a fresh kit, and let’s get Season 6 started!

Share your work with us and the rest of the scale modeling community through our web page, or through our Facebook community page. We love seeing other people’s work. Who knows who you may inspire through your latest masterpiece!

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. If you happen to see us at a show come on over and say hello, we may even put you in front of the mic!

In this episode our main topic of discussion will be on our local model club’s model show, the Southern Maryland Scale Modeler’s PAXCON 2025.

We’ll give you a recap of the show, share some lessons learned and thank all those who made it happen.

We had a few visitors in town for the show, a couple international guests as well. Mr. Robbie Nauffts (aka The Model Guy of YouTube fame) from Calgary Alberta, Canada, and Mr. Kris De Winter who flew in from Groningen, Netherlands. We can’t thank you both enough for making the trip to PAXCON! Take a look at the work these two modelers produce in their respective social media sites:

For the main topic, with the model season coming to a close at least up here in Region 2, Frilldo and the Geeks go through the do’s and don’ts of when, and what is eligible to be entered into a model show. Frilldo reads the IPMS USA  rules on when a model is allowed to be entered and when not allowed to be entered. The geeks give their take on the subject. We hope to see you out and about as we hit some of the shows or if you decide to come visit ours in October.

We are back home from the 2025 IPMS USA Nationals in Hampton, VA. We had an absolute great time over the course of the 4-day event.

Rather than wait until our next episode to drop a “wrap up” or “recap” we thought we would stick to the plan of the last few days and drop one more “Short” to talk about the awards, judging, thank a few folks, and bring it on home.

No interviews but a few mentions of some websites to check out so catch those links below.

Thank you for making our time at the Nats a great experience!

We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show.

We are on-site at the IPMS USA Nationals in Hampton, VA!Final day here at the Nats and it has been a great time! Thank you all for listening in and following along. 

Today we had the opportunity to talk with author, Chief Petty Officer Venner Milewski USN (Ret) who has a series of book covering U.S. Naval vessels titled Fighting Ships of the U.S. Navy 1883-2019. The series covers a wide range of ships, and the books are a must for ship builders. We also talked with two GUNPLA builders who share their thoughts on the genre. And finally, with apologies to James and Clare of the Agora Models team I have their interview up, two days late…give it a listen and learn about these fine models.

 It was another long but enjoyable day on the floors here at Nats and we are headed out the door to the awards banquet! Hope to see you in Fort Wayne, IN for the 2026 Nats!

 We are on-site at the IPMS USA Nationals in Hampton, VA! We had another great day here at The Nats! We had the opportunity to interview Bert and Rock from Detail and Scale publications, as well as Dave Roof of Flying Leathernecks Scale Creations. We also had another young modeler attending The Nationals sit down and share her perspective on the hobby.
 

It was another long but enjoyable day on the floors here at Nats!

We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show.

In this episode we are on-site at the IPMS USA Nationals in Hampton, VA. Rather than drop a single episode covering the Nats we wanted to try something a little different. Over the course of the 4-day Nats we will record short segments covering the day’s events, what caught our eye in the display hall, what products are hot in the vendor hall, and most importantly who we meet and speak with about the hobby. We hope to get in a few interviews with folks in the hobby, be it fellow modelers, or new vendors on the scene promoting the brand. If you couldn’t make it to Hampton for the Nats, tune in and we’ll try to convey what each day brings…especially any news on new kits or products. So, let’s get on with what Day 1 brought!

After 5 years of doing the same old podcast, we thought it was time for an update.  The listeners spoke, and we heard you loud and clear.  Our goal is to interact and engage more with you, the listener and make you an even bigger part of the podcast.  You have all been so gracious with your support, so we are tying to keep up and continue to give you the best podcast possible.  As always, thanks for your tremendous support!  We really appreciate it.   

On Ep. 105, we start off with what's in our Model World, then jump into Mail Call, and a new segment called "Listener Spotlight" where each of us discuss a specific modeler and their masterpiece.  We also highlight all of our Gallery submissions and posts on Social Media.  We want to hear from you so please keep sending pics of your models.  Finally, we finish up with the main topic discussing BKB vs OOB. 

A huge thank you to all of our listeners for their continued support and we hope to see you al at the IPMS Nationals in Hampton, VA, 6-9 August. We'll be hanging right next to Furball Geoff himself, so please swing and say hello.  

We will also have new T-Shirts and stickers, so swing by and grab some Geeks gear!

 In this episode we are privileged to have Mr. Rob Riviezzo, host of the “Modeling Insanity” podcast” and the “Quarter Scale Madness” podcast, sitting in the studio with us. Rob shares his insight into the hobby, and his own modeling influences with us. Rob is also the U.S. Associate Editor of Military Modelcraft International magazine (http://www.militarymodelcraft.co.uk/), and I’m sure a huge influence in his own right on many armor modellers out there.
In response to an email from listener Luis Toledo, of Lancaster CA, we get into a great discussion on entering contests and should that be a barometer of one’s modeling skills? Each host weighs in on that topic.
 In our Main Topic we each discuss who or what has influenced our modeling through the years. Some famous, and infamous folks make the list!
 
We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show.

In this episode, the Geeks reflect on the road so far and look ahead to what’s next. Of course, we've been busy at the bench (and burning up the credit cards), so we’ll chat about the latest kits, tools, and goodies hitting the modeling scene—and which ones we just couldn’t resist.

As spring rolls in, we hope your bench time is in full swing and that you're putting the finishing touches on your next contest entry or display piece. Don’t forget to share your work with us and the community through our website or Facebook group—we love seeing your builds, and you might just inspire someone else to get modeling!

Welcome to Episode 99 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  We have a full crew tonight!  

After a bit of banter, we share what is on our bench and what we have picked up lately.  We talk about some new modeling related items we’ve found out there and El-Presidenté tells us “What’s New in 72!”.  After a Show & Contest update and Mail Call we discuss the latest shows we’ve been to — MosquitoCon up in Wayne NJ and Model Classic over in Northern VA.

 We’ve all been busy at the bench through March! We’ll talk about cool new items coming our way, and what we’ve picked up lately, as well as pay a visit to the Modelgeeks web page’s “Listener Gallery” and have a look at the great work from you folks out there.

 For our main topic of discussion, we pull from the Mail Bag! Mr. Robbie Nauffts of Alberta Canada asks:
 
 “How do you research a subject for a build?” Are you looking at a specific aircraft? Or a cross section of similar aircraft? What happens when Samo is planning a build compared to Frilldo? Exc.

Do we always go to the books for a build, or can we just relax and go out of the box and just enjoy building a model kit? Or is doing research part of the enjoyment? We each have our take on it.

 We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show.

As always, we’ve all been busy at the bench…and at our keyboards! We’ll talk about cool new items coming our way, and what we’ve worn out the ol’ credit card on as well.

We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show. As we roll through Winter and on towards springtime, I hope that your bench is active and you’re completing those subjects that you plan to share with the modeling public out at a show or contest. Get to the bench and build something!

Share your work with us and the rest of the scale modeling community through our web page, or through our Facebook community page. We love seeing other people’s work. Who knows who you may inspire someone through your latest masterpiece!

After a bit of banter, we share what is on our bench and what we have picked up lately.  We talk about some new modeling related items we’ve found out there and  El-Presidenté tells us “What’s New in 72!”.  After a Show & Contest update and Mail Call we discuss how Model Geeks will be modeling in the future, say 5-10 years — technologies, techniques, paints, adhesives, and decals.

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. If you happen to see us at a show come on over and say hello, we may even put you in front of the mic!

 If you can't make it to the shows then you can still interact with us through social media, Facebook, Instagram, and of course email at:
