JamesW Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Thank you for the welcome. I would also like to note. That one of my dreams is to open a hobby shop some day. but I hear it is very hard to get started. Some of these guys could already open up a shop, they have enough kits in their stash. All they need is the storefront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomA Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hi Andre and welcome. Looking forward to seeing the GTX. My dream has always been to own a model shop too. Got close once. I was going to buy an established, model shop....had the finance and all. Owner ended up selling to his no-hoper son for a fraction of what it was worth. He let it run down and closed it down. Bloody shame! Anyhow enjoy your stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railfreak78 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Welcome abord this great ship! For pics if your interested go to the tips and tricks section and read the very 1st "Pinned" topic about how to use Photobucket. I did it and it saved me a lot of grief from the guys that don't like bad pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyBad Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Welcome aboard the Crazy Train. I know I couldn't open a Hobby shop All the ones in my stash have been opened and played tested.. Posting pics is easier than ya think and joining up with an outside photo uploading site is a good idea Like Photobucket and it's free.. Build on and be happy ........

beefheart22 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi Nathan . Cool some more GTA people! Etobicoke... Part of any clubs? I was told there is a club, but I haven't looked into it yet. I don't know if you ever check out Wheels and Wings on the Danforth. That place is where I go to talk shop. The guy who runs it is pretty cool and a wealth of information and if it is made of polystyrene, he sells it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
