ModelGeek's Podcast
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!

MGPC Ep. 107 Nats Short, Day 4
Welcome to Episode 107, Day 4 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!
We are on-site at the IPMS USA Nationals in Hampton, VA!Final day here at the Nats and it has been a great time! Thank you all for listening in and following along.
Today we had the opportunity to talk with author, Chief Petty Officer Venner Milewski USN (Ret) who has a series of book covering U.S. Naval vessels titled Fighting Ships of the U.S. Navy 1883-2019. The series covers a wide range of ships, and the books are a must for ship builders. We also talked with two GUNPLA builders who share their thoughts on the genre. And finally, with apologies to James and Clare of the Agora Models team I have their interview up, two days late…give it a listen and learn about these fine models.
It was another long but enjoyable day on the floors here at Nats and we are headed out the door to the awards banquet! Hope to see you in Fort Wayne, IN for the 2026 Nats!
We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show.
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!
