"There’s Always Room for Improvement!”
Welcome to Episode 76 of The Modelgeeks Podcast! In this episode, we kick off with what we are in work on, what new items are out there, and what we have picked up lately. D-ran and Whitey touch briefly of their recent trip up to MosquitoCon32 but for more on that go back and check out last weeks “off timeline” drop of the MosquitoCon32 Wrap Up show. El-Presidenté will tell us “What’s New in 72!”, and we’ll end with a discussion on what we think each of us can or would like to improve upon in each of our model building skillsets.
We also had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Jefferey Garrity, THE RARE-PLANE DETECTIVE of Rare-Plane Detective hobby store…a repository, data base, and archive of hard-to-find model kits and aftermarket. If you’re hitting a hobby show on the East Coast, West Coast, anywhere in between, and Parts Unknown, chances are Jeff and his sidekick Winston and helpful assistant Liz are going to be there in the vending area offering up all the HTF and even the latest kits at “Hobby Show Prices”!

Customer Reviews
Always a good listen
After an almost 60 year hiatus, I came back to trying to build scale models when facing retirement. I stumbled on this podcast and they have provided hours of enjoyment and a great learning experience as an old/new builder. They also have given encouragement and support that I needed in some dark spots when my physical limitations almost got the best of me. I hope I can be around for their next 75.
Conversational but instructional
What a great group of guys who love the industry. Always love the personal stories but they really hit the mark w how they work on and complete tasks regarding model making. While their building techniques vary, this podcast may be the best when it comes to explicitly explaining just how they get to where they’re going. They’re empathetic w novice builders. Add the guys banter, laughter and attempts at humor and this is an excellent podcast.
Great Listen
Great discussion topics. Always worth a listen.
