It costs me the same as it costs you to shop there, so when I order things from him I try to order enough to justify the cost. Since it costs at roughly $10+ gas to hit a hobby shop in Calgary I try to limit my visits to when I'm going in for other reasons, unfortunately the shop I frequent...

Haven't been at the bench for a bit, but, running the risk of becoming a perpetual monkey with a button internet shopper, I did do a bit of.......cough cough......ahem.....impulsive internet shopping. I have been busy at the post office picking up items that have been arriving willy nilly for...

keeping my pinkies crossed that things improve for you real soon.

Sorry I've been a bit slow in posting, I'm getting old and slow (that's my excuse anyway) I must say I'm truly surprised at coming in #1 in the intermediate category, especially with the missing gear door, but who am I to argue....... congratulations to the other winners, and I did enjoy...

Just a small paint order, made by our friend in Russia, delivered via our friends at Hobby Colours in Greece. They took a month to get here despite being shipped right away, but given the ways of the world these days it's not surprising, and come in 10ml jars which is the same volume as Tamiya's...

Ouch, that's nasty....... I would if i was retired, looks like (it was) a nice place.
