Welcome to Episode 108 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.  

Whitey joins Paul Pendleton-Brown from the Beyond the Boxart podcast as they jointly open their Moosearoo 2026 packages.  Whitey can do it!

After Mail Call and shows in the future we are joined by Victor DiSanto, a local modeler from our Club here in Southern Maryland who is focusing his current modeling efforts on completing the Century Series in 1/48.  We discuss each of his completed builds, the base kits he used and will use, and any corrections or other modifications he had to make to get the model "just right". 

Victor's Century Series Gouge

Welcome to Episode 107 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  

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.

Mentioned in the Episode:

Tony Faust stopped by the table to say hello, this is the podcast he hosts along with Bill Redman and Kevin Yeo:

  ODIN & AESOP

• Our three hosts, Tony, Bill, and Kevin release monthly episodes conducting detailed reviews of military books spanning from World War I to the Global War On Terrorism.

Jim Harley, former Warbird pilot with the Collins Foundation, runs a small resin conversion company specializing in post WWII racing Warbirds:

Welcome to Episode 107, Day 4 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  

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!

Welcome to Episode 107 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  

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

Welcome to Episode 106 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!
 
 In this episode, the Modelgeeks are joined by a special guest host; Geoff Martin of Furball Aero-Design! They go around the pattern say what is the latest and greatest in their model worlds. The Geeks have a good laugh courtesy of Frilldo and Frilldo gives the listeners an update on the Privateer saga. 

For the main topic, Frilldo asks the other Geeks, “When is enough aftermarket Enough”? the topic was submitted by long time listener Laurens Steffers.  The Geeks take a lap in the pattern and discuss how much is too much when it comes to aftermarket. 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 or if you decide to come visit ours in October.
