Number 1: MGPC EP 130 IPMS USA Best Jr. Eli Van Helvoirt, and an interview with Austin Frields
Welcome to Episode 130 of The Modelgeeks Podcast! In this episode, we’ll kick things off with what’s happening in our Model World, to include our guest host, Eli Van Helvoirt who will be joining us behind the mic for this recording. Eli recently attended the 2026 IPMS USA Nationals in Fort Wayne Indiana and took home the award for Best Junior! Eli will discuss his experiences at this, his third Nationals, what he likes to build, and what inspires him. The Juniors categories were well attended this year and the work on their tables could run head-to-head on the adult side of the room! Also joining us for an interview session is Mr. Austin Frields. Austin runs a YouTube channel, “Sprues With Spoons”, and has some ambitious ideas on bringing more of the hobby into all media. Check out his channel with a special report from Fort Wayne and the Nats. From the Modelgeeks Podcast web page we take a look at the Listener Gallery and the fine work that has caught our eye.
