Welcome to Episode 111 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  

In this episode our main topic of discussion will be on our local model club’s model show, the Southern Maryland Scale Modeler’s PAXCON 2025.

We’ll give you a recap of the show, share some lessons learned and thank all those who made it happen.

We had a few visitors in town for the show, a couple international guests as well. Mr. Robbie Nauffts (aka The Model Guy of YouTube fame) from Calgary Alberta, Canada, and Mr. Kris De Winter who flew in from Groningen, Netherlands. We can’t thank you both enough for making the trip to PAXCON! Take a look at the work these two modelers produce in their respective social media sites:

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
