Bench Time #34 - Ron Poidomani: Fellow Fine Scale Modeler & NMRA Award Winner

Help us keep the show going, get some cool stuff, become a patron! TGIF fine scale modeling friends! On today’s Bench Time Podcast, HO Scale Customs hosts special guest and fellow structure modeler Ron Poidomani. Ron is a super detailer when it comes to building fine scale structures and scenery and has won several noted contests including the NMRA’s best structure at the NMRA convention last year in Orlando and the Railroad Model Craftsman awards with a photo spread of his Waterbury Pen Company in one of their issues that will blow your socks off! We discuss with him what is involved with preparing for a contest and the criteria that the big shows look at when judging models We also exchange with him some of his great modeling tips and tricks and he even gave us a few awesome ideas that we are going to try out ourselves! He has some pretty interesting and funny stories involving his experiences in modeling and the awesome friends he has made in the hobby who have helped him along, a common theme in this hobby! Finally we chat about the clinics he will be giving at the Fine Scale Model Expo in Albany NY, Nov 1-3. An event he has also won several contests!
