Welcome to Episode 61 of The ModelGeeks Podcast!
We’re dropping this episode a few days early because in this episode we talk about the upcoming…or ongoing 2023 IPMS USA National Convention in San Marcos TX! What are we bringing? What are we looking forward to? Who’s going? Who’s NOT going? (☹ Whitey…). What is the game plan for the MGPC? Settle into the driver’s seat, keep your eye on the road, have a listen, and get there safely!
We also discuss what we are In Work on, give you a brief of what’s new out there in kits, aftermarket, upcoming shows, and other news around the hobby.
We’d also like to formally welcome el Presidente’, Tim Holland, as a permanent member of the MGPC! After sitting in on Substitute Duty for several episodes, the feedback from listers has been very positive about what Tim brings to the conversation. Once again Tim gives us the “1/72 Run-Down” as well as the latest on our upcoming inaugural club contest and show, “PAXCON 2023”, coming up this October the 7th!
