model shop in sydney

i have noticed theres quite a few australian modlers here, theres a few question i need to ask.

where do you guys but your model goods? i know very few model shop, hobby co, astro hobby, and modlers world, and theres a lot of stuff unavaliable, or i couldnt find.

is there anyy shop selling photo etched saw?

and any selling mr hobby(gunz) lacqurous base paint? (for air brush)

if anyone could help its greatly appreciated..

I get all my stuff from Hobbyco - most mainstream kits (Tamiya, Fujumi) paints and accesories. They sell gunze paints but they the acrylics. Tools there are occasionally a good selection but as you said there's astro hobby down the road for some cool stuff straight outta japan.

I buy most of my stuff online from www.frontlinehobbies.com.au (http://www.frontlinehobbies.com.au) or sometimes if i am in the area, i will go to vagg's hobbies in miranda. I don't know if they have those paints or photoetch saw though.

Frontline is in Newcastle which is about 1.5 hours from sydney. I shop there and it has a pretty good range of paints. However, I think they only carry stuff like primers, mr surfacer, base white etc from gunze. I can't remember if they carry rattle cans.
