ModelGeek's Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The Geeks hit the road and hit up the IPMS Roanoke Valley’s “Virginia Shootout” show.

Nothing beats a quick weekend trip with your modeling buddies, especially when a show is happening, the kit deals are HOT and the Mexican food is muy bueno! Toss in a few beers with friends and it’s practically impossible to top for a real Modelgeek!

In this episode we recap our trip to southwestern Virginia and the Virginia Shootout. We had a great time, saw some great models and made some awesome deals on kits that we’d each been looking for. We sit down with show Co-Chair Greg Clower and he gives us a history of the show and the club.
 
 D-ran is still MIA so we play shorthanded once again…anyone wanna take that 5th seat???

We would like to thank all you listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit more of the shows coming up this busy 2024 If you happen to see us at a show, set up at our table, come on over and say hello, we may even put you in front of the mic!

Model Geeks Podcast

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”!

In this episode, the Modelgeeks discuss what they are in work on, what new items are out there that they may have picked up, and generally what’s going on in the hobby from the perspective of a bunch of primarily model airplane builders.

For the main topic we sit down with Rudy and Danielle of LionHeart Hobby in Kyle TX for a talk about what motivated them to take the leap into opening a brick-and-mortar hobby store at a time when, at least in the U.S., such shops are on the decline. Hmmm, maybe they’re on to something???
