2026 Show Season Wrap Up

Hi Everyone!

It feels like we blinked and show season was over! We've been keeping busy this year, so I wanted to share a little recap of our 2026 model show adventures.

This year we had the opportunity to vendor at three fantastic shows: BeachCon, FloTown Model ShowDown, and DownEastCon 2026. Every event had its own personality, but one thing they all had in common was the incredible community. We met so many friendly faces, caught up with members of the local model clubs, and had the chance to introduce Coastline Hobbies to new people along the way.

We have learned a lot this year. We've started leaning more into supplies so we can serve as a temporary hobby shop for the day. It is great being able to play a small part in the amazing models people bring to the shows.  

Every show has taught us something new, and we've continued to refine what we bring, how we set up, and how we can better serve the modeling community. We're constantly looking for ways to improve, and we feel like each event has made us a little better than the last.

Most importantly, we want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by our tables this year. Whether you made a purchase, shared feedback, or simply came over to say hello, we truly appreciate your support. Small businesses like ours wouldn't be here without this amazing community, and getting to meet so many passionate modelers is one of our favorite parts of attending these events.

We're already looking forward to next year's show season and are excited to continue growing, improving, and bringing an even better selection of products wherever we go. We can't wait to see familiar faces, meet new friends, and keep supporting this incredible hobby.

See you at the next show!
