We return to the workbenches again this week following another awesome time at the Fine Scale Expo, and we introduce a up and comer on the kit manufacturer scene; Ron Klaiss of Mine Mount Models. Ron gives us the nitty gritty, down low on his structure kits and laser cut building material available, the thought processes and what is involved in starting a business in the kit designing world, and he helps us chime in on answering some of our weekly questions from our listeners and patrons.
A great guy, Ron is also a patron of HO Scale Customs Bench Time Podcast, and we go down a lot of rabbit holes and have some fun talking tips, tricks, and a lot of hearty laughs too!
Next on this # 46 cast, Todd tells us a little bit about HO Scale Customs great time at the EXPO and how he nearly single-handedly brought Bar Mills display to a crashing nightmare! And he and Brett both profusely thank the EXPO organizers and guests for their complete heartfelt and unselfish support for Cancer and Autism Awareness for Brett’s 100 mile run for the two charities, and Brett goes into the details a bit about the grueling hell he went through to complete the 100 mile challenge in the tough terrain and climbs of the Talladega National Forest.
