[wally world]

I go further back than that. I lived there from my birth in '61 until '71. My family lived in a subdivision called Georgian Heights. Familiar with it?

I am very familiar with Georgian Heights, I went to Georgian Heights Elem. I grew up on Eakin Road. What a small small world.

Strete Hobbies on Sullivant Avenue ... man, that brings back some memories! My family lived there when I was a kid and I use to walk there to spend my allowance money! Sorry to hear the owner passed.

BTW, that HTUSA you mentioned _ and the other one in Columbus, for that matter _ are both owned by the same people that own the one in South Point, Ohio, where I am employed part-time.

I used to walk there too. I lived in the neighborhood there behind Streete Hobbies. I lived there in the 80's. I would get my hair cut and Ron's Barber Shop then go lurk around the hobby shop.

In southwest Columbus, OH, there is a Walmart. Right across the parking lot, (you can see it from wally-world's door) is a Hobbytown USA. (I know, HTUSA is a franchise chain) they have been happily co-existing there for about 7 years now.

Our local Hobby Shops, like Hobbyland with three stores, Grandview Hobbies and Hurricane hobbies, all reside within a few miles of newly established "big box" stores. Streete Hobby shop closed it's doors a few years ago, but because it's owner passed away.

not all markets have seen this decline in locally owned HS as you say.

I am sorry to hear about the owner of Streete Hobby. As a young boy I spent many hours and lots of my hard earned chore money there.

[Gauge Decals]

Hi Everyone,

Do you know where I can get gauge decals (Autometer style) in 1/24 or 1/25 scale? I know that you can get them in the NASCAR decal sheets, but I am looking for a complete sheet of gauge decals. If I had a better printer I would try to make my own, however until that happens (if ever) I would love to have a complete sheet of them. Does any one know where I could get such decals?

Thanks in advance and I will be posting pics of my first completed model in 25 years in the next few days!

the clubs worst would have been some of my best. Great pics and the club meetings looks like a lot of fun..

[Well No More Excuses...]

Well I have no more excuses, its time to start building. I moved into my new house and got my model space done and organized. Just bought a Passche single action airbrush, a small compressor (a 1/8 horse unit from Harbor Freight, with trap and regulator for 80 bucks). It's now time to get busy. I will start posting pics soon.

By the way, I just sprayed my first Alcald II chrome paint and that stuff is great...

I am going to get back down to the basement and get to work.

[What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)]

I picked up a roll of Aluminum Tape, it is nice an reflective and should have several different uses.
