A Happy day for modelling where I live!

I was driving home from college today when I saw a sign saying "Grand Opening, Tara's Modelling Heaven" I drove by there every day and had never seen it before, needless to say, I stopped in and I was astonished. This place ROCKS!!!!. They have such a killer selection of supplies and soo many kits I practically creamed my shorts. And by kits, I mean good ones too. Tamiya, Lindberg, Fujimi, Hasegawa, and some I never heard of.

Also, the owner was very helpful, I mentioned to her about the hummer model, and how I wanted a civilian one. she said she knew of mostly only miltary kits that existed, but she said she knows of a couple parts sets for modifying military hummers, and she said she would bring one in, and give me a call when it got here, and if I liked it I could purchase, if not, she would send it back

Good thing it was payday, cause I blew 1/2 my cheque there. paints galore, brushes, airbrush propellant, and 2 kits:

Tamiya Mazda (Savanna) RX-7
Lindberg 64' Dodge 330

Man am I ever in love with that store.

I wish there were stores that sold my stuff besides the main ones. Only one I know of is Exoticar.com in the city, but they are a bit pricey. They also sell all kinds of stuff.

Your cars are always expensive. My hobby store has a wall full of them. Any in particular you'd like me to look for and compare prices on?

Actually, right now I'm holding off. My shipment arrived yesterday. I have one more waiting to be paid for. But, maybe you could tell me what manufacturers they carry and I might be able to tell you what to look out for and comparison shop. I'd appreciate that!
