Canute Posted February 21, 2021 #122 Posted February 21, 2021 Craig, yes I knew the place. Whenever I got down to MacDill AFB, I'd pop over there at least once a trip. Found a few bargains and several oldie but goodies. And his stuff migrated all over the country. I bought kits up in Jersey with his store stamp on them. Probably consignment sales from passed away modelers. A good place to hang out for a few hours. We had a few shops like that back in the day. Owner comes in, fires up a coffee pot and opens for business. Spent many a happy hour in places like that socializing and shopping. 👍 lmagna, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild

CDW Posted February 21, 2021 Author #125 Posted February 21, 2021 Overnight was sufficient for the Molotow ink to thoroughly dry, so I installed the bumpers. They look pretty decent I think and much much better than the sink-mark-ridden chrome plated bumpers that came inside the kit. PS: Molotow ink applied from the actual pen will not dry overnight. It's only because I applied it in very light coats using an airbrush. Molotow ink is very very slow to dry from the pen. Days, maybe even weeks. mtaylor, Jack12477, Old Collingwood and 8 others 11 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

Canute Posted February 21, 2021 #126 Posted February 21, 2021 Where I used to live in South Jersey, there were four or five hobby shops when I left in 2009. Only train place left is Sattler's, in I think Westmont, NJ. It's been around since WW 2. The other model train place is in Piscataway, the Model RR Shop. There is also AAA Hobbies, Internet selling as MegaHobbies, in Oaklyn. There are others, but I don't remember the names anymore. Here in western NC, we have places like Michaels, HobbyLobby and HobbyTown USA. There is one "hobby shop" in Hendersonville, with random hours and minimal stock outside of some Lionel Trainsets and the owner's knife collection. Needless to say, I do a lot of shopping online.

At the danger of sounding like a dinosaur, online shopping is, in my opinion, part of the problem, but on the other hand is also something of a saviour as well.

lmagna Posted February 21, 2021 #128 Posted February 21, 2021 I feel like I must live in a time warp or something. I have a model railroad hobby store a couple of blocks from my house. Years ago it was almost exclusively railroad but now days almost all of the railroad stuff is upstairs. At least half of the downstairs is RC cars, with the rest being mixed woods, paints and the normal construction stuff. They have a closet like room off to one side that has the plastic kits, kind of like the curtained off area of the old video stores that contained the porno movies. We have a larger Hobby Town franchise across town that has a fairly large plastic section and huge paint selection but again at least half the store seems geared to the RC cars. We have a number of others that are further away and I think at least two of them that are still in business are still considered railroad stores. I HATE driving down to the Seattle metro area, so it has been a number of years since I have been to those stores. Your Ferrari is looking better and better Craig, truck tires and all. Just think of it as an off road Ferrari.

mtaylor Posted February 21, 2021 #130 Posted February 21, 2021 It's a mixed bag for me... shopping online or the local hobby shop. It's survived by adding things like bicycles and maintenance. They've been expanding their shop with more plastic kits while cutting back on the wooden ships. Also adding RC car stuff along with a still large amount of flying model airplane things. The pandemic has been a boon to their business. Usually a short line out front and the inside at capacity with distancing, etc. CDW, lmagna, Egilman and 3 others 6 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)

If he were suddenly alive today, he would not recognize much of what he would see or hear. When I grew up, my Dad would drive daily down to a specific corner in downtown Tampa to buy the evening newspaper, The Tampa Times, hot off the press. In the mornings, Our daily Tampa Tribune, would be waiting for us in our driveway. Today, Tampa no longer even has a daily newspaper. Both are gone, a thing of the past.
