Welcome to Episode 98 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  

 We’ve all been busy at the bench through March! We’ll talk about cool new items coming our way, and what we’ve picked up lately, as well as pay a visit to the Modelgeeks web page’s “Listener Gallery” and have a look at the great work from you folks out there.

 For our main topic of discussion, we pull from the Mail Bag! Mr. Robbie Nauffts of Alberta Canada asks:
 
 “How do you research a subject for a build?” Are you looking at a specific aircraft? Or a cross section of similar aircraft? What happens when Samo is planning a build compared to Frilldo? Exc.

Do we always go to the books for a build, or can we just relax and go out of the box and just enjoy building a model kit? Or is doing research part of the enjoyment? We each have our take on it.

 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. Who knows who you may inspire someone through your latest masterpiece!
