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!
