Local Hobby Shop Closing

[Brutalform]

A few months back, Walter, the owner of my LHS passed away. His wife and son decided to run the business through the holidays. Well now they are closing with a “ retirement sale” beginning tomorrow. I’m going to stop by, to say goodbye, and grab some Tamiya products, mostly paint, as they are the only store in my area that sells them. Pretty much the colors I use the most. I was saddened that Walter died, but now it’s finally time to seriously start searching for an airbrush set up. I won’t be able to afford to have Tamiya sprays being sent through the mail, with the crazy shipping costs. Other things like Evergreen and K&S tube, and things like that, won’t be as expensive as the sprays. So in short, it’s sad to see a business, that I’ve been going to for decades is closing, but it kinda got me moving to move toward airbrushing.

We had one close about 15 years ago, a great shop. It was a hike but they would special order anything for us.

The husband was a Vietnam vet and developed cancer from Agent Orange exposure.

They were supposed to have a final sale, but the shop contents were bought up by someone unknown to us.
