About Us
About MPM Hobbies
Hello! We are Mike and Pat Meeks, the owners of MPM Hobbies. Our journey officially began in 2022, though you might have first known us back in 2021 as Hobby Desk Detail Resins when we started selling custom 3D-printed model aircraft ordnance.
A Family-Owned, Veteran-Founded Business
MPM Hobbies is entirely family-owned and operated by my wife, Pat, our two daughters, and myself. Outside of the shop, Pat is a full-time school teacher, and I am a disabled veteran. We didn't open this business to get rich. I have always dreamed of running a hobby business, and it gives our daughters a wonderful opportunity to work a flexible job for activity and spending money.
Why Our Prices Are So Low
We operate directly out of our home, and our only employees are family members. Because our overhead costs are incredibly low compared to traditional retail stores, we don't have to charge traditional retail prices. We pass those savings directly onto you.
Our Ironclad Guarantee: 100% Legit, 100% Secure
We know that finding low prices online can sometimes make people skeptical. We want to assure you that MPM Hobbies is 100% legitimate and safe. Every single order is fulfilled directly from items in stock right here on our property
We stand firmly behind our service with an absolute guarantee: Every single customer will either receive their order exactly as promised, or they will receive a full refund. No exceptions, no scams, and no risk to you.
Since opening, our business journey has been a masterclass in trial and error, but the experience has been incredibly rewarding. We love the hobby community, and we are grateful for the chance to supply your workbench.
Thank you for supporting a family-owned and veteran-owned small business!
I was a soldier first and then an aviator. Problem is my Army pics are all before the digital camera age and in a box somewhere we still haven't found. (Cool point...the pic of that E-6B (what I flew) refueling was taken by Pat while she was on a "good deal" ride courtesy of an AF KC-10 squadron. She was actually pregnant with our oldest daughter at the time and did not know it. Daughter is now 21 so that should tell you how long ago it was (seems like forever ago).
