In this podcast, I aim to entertain, inform, and hopefully promote the hobby of scale model kit building, with interviews, reviews and news about the scale model hobby.

Our guest is Jeff Hodgins

Jeff has been involved with cars since he was a little boy, He works at a car dealership in the London Ontario area and works on classic cars with friends and builds scale model cars.

He has a passion for the history of cars and the people that own them.
