Greetings my fellow ModelGeeks, and welcome to the MGPC Episode 125! Nemo hosts this episode, with a full house. We chat about the latest and greatest in everyone's model world and get caught up with what's happening in the hobby.

The mail bag was full again with over 10 emails, which is awesome! We really appreciate the emails and love hearing from you all. Also, thanks again for the listener gallery submissions. Please keep the emails and gallery pics coming and we can't wait to see your work, discuss them on the podcast, and present them on our website.

For the main topic, we talk about how our "Modeling Lens" has evolved and changed. As youngsters building models, we all built as much as we could and didn't pay attention to accuracy, properly thinned paint, PSI, or weathering, etc.. we just built, and loved every minute of it. Compare that with how we view modeling almost 40 years later, and there are some significant changes in how we view the hobby. It's a great topic and we hope you all give it a listen.

Welcome to Episode 124 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!

After a small bit of banter, we share what is on our bench and what we have picked up lately. We then cover Mail Call (keep the cards & letters coming folks!). Don’t forget Listener Spotlight.

For our Patreon Giveaway, courtesy of LionHeart Hobby we have the X Scale 1/144 P-3C Orion kit #144007 along with Caracal’s newly minted sheet #144024.

Our main topic is “Spitfires, Part 1a”. El Prez opened up his references and leads a modeler’s discussion of the Prototype and Mk I Spitfire. If you’d like to follow along with his notes you can download them here.

Welcome to Episode 123 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!

In this episode The Geeks are talking model clubs! Why have them? Do you belong to one? What makes a “good” one? How can you start one? Stand by, take a listen, and we’ll get you the answers!

We recently attended IPMS Northern Virginia’s (https://www.novaipms.org/) annual contest and show, “The Model Classic”. We’ll talk about the cool models we saw on display, and we also caught up with Mr. Ben Pluth who was in town to present one of the special awards, the “Walt Champlin Best Cold War U.S. Aircraft Memorial Award”.

We also had the opportunity to talk to Mr. John Figueroa, Convention Chairman for the 2026 IPMS USA National Convention, happening Aug 5th – 8th, 2026. John and Mr. Tony Faust sat down and gave us an update on how all the pieces are coming together to make 2026 another IPMS Nationals to remember.

Mr. Faust also hosts the Odin & Aesop Military History Podcast, well worth a listen! Be careful, you may learn something!
