Model Car Mania Podcast

Episode 14 – Sideshow: Three J’s, a Bunch of Shows, and Plenty of Opinions!

The Three J’s are back! Jodi, Jason, and Justin take over the microphones for another installment of the Sideshow!

This time, the guys hit the local model show circuit and return with plenty of stories, observations, and probably a few opinions nobody asked for!

From the incredible builds on the tables to the people, the atmosphere, and everything that makes attending a model show an adventure, the Three J’s share their recent experiences and give their take on the local show scene.

Of course, with these three behind the microphones, you can expect plenty of laughs, a little friendly banter, and the occasional trip completely off the rails!

So grab your favorite beverage, pull up a chair at the workbench, and join Jodi, Jason, and Justin as they talk shows, models, and all the insanity that comes with this great hobby!

Three J’s, three opinions, and absolutely no guarantee they’ll stay on topic!

MODEL CAR MANIA SIDESHOW #1!

Welcome to the very first Model Car Mania Sideshow—where we step away from the main event and see what other trouble we can get ourselves into!

For our inaugural Sideshow, the guys sit down with Mac Johnson, President of the Granite State Modelers IPMS, to talk about their upcoming model show, what attendees can expect, and everything they have planned for the big day.

But that’s not all…

We also dive into the latest kit release from ICEMAN Collections, take a look at what’s coming, and naturally offer up the kind of completely professional and well-reasoned commentary you’ve come to expect from Model Car Mania.

It’s model shows, new kits, hobby talk, and the usual dose of insanity.

Step right up—the Model Car Mania Sideshow is officially open!
