Another model shop owner who has no 'king clue! Where is this model shop - some small backwards country village?..."We don't get no orange peel 'round these parts" :smoka:
I guess this guy won't be winning any model comps!

thats why you have to get all your information from here. this forum has more experience than any hobby shop. come here first and then go shopping. you may not even have to leave your house to go shopping either since there are some online hobby shops that are cheaper and better than your local shop

Im really starting to wonder how some of these places manage to stay open with the amount of crap info they try and feed people

Yeah, but in some places you just don't have any choice. I live near a city with population of 560000, and there is only one hobby shop AFAIK.
