Welcome to Episode 103 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!

In this episode we are privileged to have Mr. Rob Riviezzo, host of the “Modeling Insanity” podcast” and the “Quarter Scale Madness” podcast, sitting in the studio with us. Rob shares his insight into the hobby, and his own modeling influences with us. Rob is also the U.S. Associate Editor of Military Modelcraft International magazine (http://www.militarymodelcraft.co.uk/), and I’m sure a huge influence in his own right on many armor modellers out there.
In response to an email from listener Luis Toledo, of Lancaster CA, we get into a great discussion on entering contests and should that be a barometer of one’s modeling skills? Each host weighs in on that topic.
In our Main Topic we each discuss who or what has influenced our modeling through the years. Some famous, and infamous folks make the list!

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!
