Welcome to Episode 88 of The Modelgeeks Podcast!  In this episode, the Modelgeeks take the listeners for a lap in the pattern and Frilldo assumes the Lead for this episode and leads the geeks as they discuss what new items they have picked up.  D-Ran is back in the saddle and has assumed the “Boss” position with the geeks. The geeks give D-Ran the “business” and task him with a few episodes, only to be out witted by the Boss.  The Geeks brief the listeners on what new kits are hitting the streets in the future. The Geeks answer mail, take a lap in the pattern around the Modelgeeks Model Shack on FB and say what has stood out to them.  For the main topic, a long time listener sent the geeks a message and asked the question, :What are the Geeks favorite movies to watch to help motivate you”? Well that couldn’t have worked out any better and Frilldo asks the geeks what are their favorite movies to watch while at the bench, and for aircraft modelers, the answers are interesting. We would like to thank all the listeners for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit some of the shows or if you decide to come visit ours in October.

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.
