Good lord, I consider myself lucky that there is a friendly hobby shop on my way home. It is literally a three minute diversion from the usual route I take to get home every afternoon, and perfect for popping in to grab essential supplies for that evening's modelling.
My local shop is Battlefield Hobbies (www.battlefieldhobbies.com.au), run by a friendly guy called Chris.

| Man, I love walking in the door of a hobby shop... |
I knew I would soon begin painting the interior of the fuselage on my Mustang, and I needed to pick up some Chromate Green paint for the engine bay and wheel wells.
A quick ten minute visit, and I was sorted. And respect, Chris even knew that the cockpit interior was a different colour to the engine bay and wheel wells. He's helpful and at the same time not trying to just push extra sales.

| Sorted. Four bucks. And NO postage. |
Support your local model shop people. The internet is amazing, but there is nothing quite like having a place where you can walk in and walk out with you need right away. If you don't support them, they'll all disappear.
Cheers,
Dave
