• 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.

• MGPC Ep. 107 Nats Short Day 1

  Welcome to Episode 107 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  In this episode we are on-site at the IPMS USA Nationals in Hampton, VA. Rather than drop a single episode covering the Nats we wanted to try something a little different. Over the course of the 4-day Nats we will record short segments covering the day’s events, what caught our eye in the display hall, what products are hot in the vendor hall, and most importantly who we meet and speak with about the hobby. We hope to get in a few interviews with folks in the hobby, be it fellow modelers, or new vendors on the scene promoting the brand. If you couldn’t make it to Hampton for the Nats, tune in and we’ll try to convey what each day brings…especially any news on new kits or products. So, let’s get on with what Day 1 brought!  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.
