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! 

Out from the Geeks...
