The Modeling Hermit Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Welcome to the forum James. This is a nice place to come and talk shop. I generally build big rig trucks, but I've built a tidy sum of cars in my life. I hope to see some of your work.
DanielG Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 Welcome aboard! How about sending some of your surplus weather west?

Poncho-Power Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 there are 2 here, leading edge hobbies and starting line hobbies, both are pretty good
Harry P. Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 First our southern border... now our northern border is being overrun!!! Just kidding! Welcome aboard!
Tony T Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Leading Edge and Starting Line...Got it! Next time I'm in Kingston, I'll have to get to at least one of them!

Poncho-Power Posted June 6, 2010 Author Posted June 6, 2010 Leading Edge and Starting Line...Got it! Next time I'm in Kingston, I'll have to get to at least one of them! leading edge is off Gardiners Road near the home depot and starting line is on Princess st. before you hit downtown across from Lablaws
Tony T Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Cool, thanks - Starting Line will be close to my daughter's place, so I'll probably check that one out first!! Thanks, James!! Much appreciated!!
Howard Cohen Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Welcome, eh! Do you know there is a model car club in Kingston? No, not in the penitentiary They had a show there recently as well. If you want a contact, send me a PM and I'll send you Brian's email.
crazyjim Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 Glad to have you here James. This is the best place around for a model car/truck person. I think you'll like it.
