Hobbies #139

Hey Modelers!  Welcome to the ModelGeeks Podcast, a place where we talk about anything and everything relating to scale models.  Sit back and buckle up for an exciting journey into the world of scale modeling.  It doesn’t matter whether you’re new to the hobby, been around since Moses, or that you build aircraft, armor, ships, or automobiles.  We hope to have a little bit for each of you.  

Our format is simple; modeling news you can use with a few tips and techniques, some lighthearted banter (maybe a beer or two...) and most importantly, interaction with you, the listener!  Please feel free to drop us an email at: contact@modelgeekspodcast.com and weigh in on whatever our show topic is.  You can also find us on the ModelGeeks Facebook Page or our website:  www.modelgeekspodcast.com.    

In closing, thanks to all the ModelGeeks out there!  This podcast wouldn't exist without the tremendous support we have received from all the Geeks!  We really hope that you will download and make us a regular part of your modeling bench sessions.  As we always say... be excellent to each other and by all means, get out there and build something!

    Always a good listen
    After an almost 60 year hiatus, I came back to trying to build scale models when facing retirement. I stumbled on this podcast and they have provided hours of enjoyment and a great learning experience as an old/new builder. They also have given encouragement and support that I needed in some dark spots when my physical limitations almost got the best of me. I hope I can be around for their next 75.
  • Ukblublud
    Conversational but instructional
    What a great group of guys who love the industry. Always love the personal stories but they really hit the mark w how they work on and complete tasks regarding model making. While their building techniques vary, this podcast may be the best when it comes to explicitly explaining just how they get to where they’re going. They’re empathetic w novice builders. Add the guys banter, laughter and attempts at humor and this is an excellent podcast.
  • B2rick
    Great Listen
    Great discussion topics. Always worth a listen.
  • Mighty Musk
    Awesome podcast
    Flying Aces sent me and I'm glad he did! Love the podcast Thank you!
  • joe b joe b
    Great content!
    I really enjoyed this podcast. Great for people new to modeling and 3d printing.
  • Geoawelch
    Best of the best
    The Model Geeks Podcast is always informative, while being entertaining. All four of the Geeks have a Naval aviation background so model from what they know. While united by background their individual personalities entertain the listener. They all have decades of modeling experience, but don’t consider their way of doing things the only way. A great, inclusive bunch of guys talking modeling, this podcast is well worth your time.
  • Jkid2070
    Great post-Nats topic!
    You guys are still going strong. Enjoyed Episode 40 about pushing through tough problems, especially appreciate hearing your experiences…nice To know others have encountered challenges, too.
  • Kari&Dan
    Awesome podcasters!
    These 4 are great together. They are individually great people, but are hilarious together. Worth the listen.
  • vmaq2
    Good stuff!!!!
    Great podcast! Love the banter! This is must have bench listening when I build and paint! It’s a model meeting at my bench!
  • jduuub
    Excellent
    These guys are a great group of guys and I enjoy listening to them! Very helpful and lots of common sense! I greatly appreciate their sharing of knowledge, hints and tips and resources! Thank you ModelGeeks!
  • RocketRakoon
    Love the ModelGeeks!
    This is a regular podcast for me. Four knowledgeable guys who love our hobby and are a welcome part of it. It’s great that they support the scale modeling podcast community, too, and their updates on hobby news, new kit releases, new hobby shops, etc., are much appreciated. Sharing their techniques is helpful to modelers of all levels. Keep these coming, Guys!
  • firstduephotos
    Great content! Fun bunch of guys
    Good stuff, guys. Thanks for joining the ranks of the scale modeling podcasts. Enjoying each new episode more than the first. As a fellow Bay State-ah, it nice to hear Whitey’s Southie accent.. keep up the great content fellas!
  • Just215
    Love the show!
    When it comes to model making discussion, what could be better than a bunch of former Navy aircraft guys?! And, much like the other podcasts, they have their corner of the model podcast world covered!
  • AMTJohn
    Model Stashes
    Great show again. As a strictly armor modeler, I’m glad to see you aircraft modelers have got the same “problem” as me! In the armor modeling world, if a kit comes out as a “3-in-1” kit, and you can only build one version of that tank, I’m obligated to get THREE kits so I can build(READ: buy and add to the stash) all three versions some day!
  • TheCole
    Sniffing’ Glue!
    Great podcast! Lots of good info if you’re looking to dive into the world of scale models!
  • Greenshirt
    Very good guys!
    Makes me feel like I’m listening to an extension of our Thursday online meetings.
  • Brian Fightertown Decals
    Nice!
    Great job guys! You hit the ground running with this one. And it’s always great to hear a shared history. Modeling is so much more than sitting alone at a workbench- it really is about the friendships and experiences. Cheers and wishing continued success!
  • Culp1956
    Great new model podcast
    Enjoy the banter and the scale aircraft discussion. Give these guys a try and I’m sure you will enjoy.
  • Jreck29
