Model Geeks Episode 58, "How to keep the hobby a hobby". Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 58 of The ModelGeeks Podcast!

In this episode we talk about How to keep the hobby just that a hobby. The geeks look at different ways to keep it a hobby by laughing at yourself and not sweating tiny 1/72 power levers for a Ki-84 Frank! The geeks also mention how having a friends text group is also a plus.

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. Once again, we have our special guest host in studio Tim Holland, President of our club Southern Maryland Scale Modelers. Tim gives us the “1/72 Run-Down” as well as the latest on our upcoming inaugural club contest and show “PAXCON 2023” coming this October 7th! We better get busy!

ModelGeeks Episode 52 "The Best Kits That Never Were" Mar 18, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 52 of The ModelGeeks Podcast.

In this episode we discuss the frustrations of hoping for a version of a nice kit subject, that simply never materializes. Read on…

We’ve all built kits or seen kits hit the streets that we automatically think “Oh man, I hope they do the X version of that!” …only for that particular version of a kit to never materialize…for what seems to be unfathomable reasons!
Right now my favorite headscratcher to this conundrum is the RF-8 Crusader. Building the Hasegawa F-8E at the moment, you can see where the thought was there to perhaps do the Recconn version…and why wouldn’t they, as historical an aircraft that it has been?! But, to no avail. We are left with only aftermarket conversions and dreams.
In an era when we keep seeing releases of subjects we’ve all only dreamt of, there are still several subjects out there waiting to piggyback on to the success of their predecessors.

Of course, we’ll also discuss what we are In Work on, give you a run-down of what’s new out there in kits, aftermarket, upcoming shows, and other news around the hobby.
