ModelGeek's Podcast

Welcome to Episode 95 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  In this episode we were very fortunate in this episode to sit down and speak with Mark Robson of Kōtare Scale Models

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!

Welcome to Episode 94 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 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!

Welcome to Episode 88 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!
 
 In this episode, the Modelgeeks take the listeners for a lap in the pattern and Frilldo assumes the Lead for this episode and leads the geeks as they discuss what new items they have picked up.  D-Ran is back in the saddle and has assumed the “Boss” position with the geeks. The geeks give D-Ran the “business” and task him with a few episodes, only to be out witted by the Boss.  The Geeks brief the listeners on what new kits are hitting the streets in the future. The Geeks answer mail, take a lap in the pattern around the Modelgeeks Model Shack on FB and say what has stood out to them.  

For the main topic, a long time listener sent the geeks a message and asked the question, :What are the Geeks favorite movies to watch to help motivate you”? Well that couldn’t have worked out any better and Frilldo asks the geeks what are their favorite movies to watch while at the bench, and for aircraft modelers, the answers are interesting. 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. If you can't make it to the shows then you can still interact with us through social media, Facebook, Instagram, and email:  [email protected]
