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!

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!
