Welcome to Episode 47 of The ModelGeeks Podcast.  In this thought provoking episode Frilldo shines light on our stashes out living us.  As we sit with hundreds of kits in our stash with plenty to keep us busy, we still see fit to add to the stash monster and his appetite for kits grows at a pace that outpaces us. The Model Geeks ask the question, "When is enough, enough"?  Think of the kids! lol.

Of course, we’ll also go around the horn and talk about what we are in work on, and also give a run-down of what’s new out there in kits, aftermarket, upcoming shows, and other news around the hobby.

Welcome to Episode 44 of The ModelGeeks Podcast. In this episode, we get into discussing individual approaches to finish and weathering. Not so much techniques, we’ve discussed that before but how we as individual modelers see a subject, and how we want it represented…whether it be a “show room” finish, a weather beaten relic, or somewhere in between.

Of course, we’ll also go around the horn and talk about what we are in work on, and also give a run-down of what’s new out there in kits, aftermarket, upcoming shows, and other news around the hobby.

Welcome to Episode 40 of The ModelGeeks Podcast. In this episode we’ll discuss what’s going on around the hobby we love, and in our Main Topic we’ll cover overcoming difficulties in a build. Problem solving is one aspect of modeling I happen to enjoy, it gets you thinking ahead of the build, sharpens the ol’ noggin’, and gives you a feeling of accomplishment…well, if things go well that is.

 D-ran and Nemo just returned from Roanoke VA where they attended the Roanoke Valley IPMS Virginia Shootout on Saturday. They’ll give a recap of the show and let us know how they did!

 The “Post Nats” mojo is still burning strong and each of us will talk about what’s on our bench, and what kits or accessories we’ve picked up.

 We’ll also give a run-down of what’s new out there in kits, aftermarket, upcoming shows, and other news around the hobby. We would like to thank all the listeners for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit some of the shows.
