General Discussion Welcome - Introduce Yourself

Hello All;

Looking forward to spending time building, reading, making a few net freinds. [proplr]

Last time I poked around here was 2008-2009.

Interests are Air and Armor. Thinking of doing more Armor, Wheeled units. Like the Skoda Turtle ! It is beautiful in the eyes of it’s Mother haha.

Have a Tam B1 Bis that was never 98.59% completed, and “due to life things” the remaining parts - tracks and decals gone, but found some on the Bay.

Still missing three small parts… hmm maybe time to practice battle damage lol!

On the bench is a Hasegawa JU87G-2 Tank Buster.

Also build model rockets.

best regards,

Bryan

Hi, Xraylizard!

I forgot TEXAS was large enough to have a North! I live in New Braunfels! Where do you call home? Oh, and welcome to the Forums.

Welcome to the forum, Bryan! I look forward to seeing your builds.

Best regards,

Brad

Hobby town in Lewisville much better than expected!

scored some needed paints. Noted they had a decent selection of kits also. Took pics to compare prices …

after a lunch pit stop close by, I am going back a and pick up a 1:32 FW190 Revell Germany kit lol price is very fair for somtimg that’s not yard sale haha

The same franchisee who owns the Lewisville store also owns Hurst, east Dallas, and IIRC Plano. Also owns Wild Bills Hobby in Irving. He has been responsive to the hobbiest’s needs in the DFW area (within the limitations of the must-carry requirements of HT corporate.

Interesting… this hobbytown is called wild bills hobbytown!

18

Welcome aboard

Yes. A long time hobby shop which was big in Lionel, die cast, good plastic, and RC cars. It even had a RC dirt track in the back yard. Shady Grove Road west of loop 12 in Irving

A bit over a year back the DFW HobbyTown franchisee purchased Wild Bill’s, largely due to the RC track. He is using the Hobby Town name but has been able to avoid much of the corporate gack overload

Look for a lot of RC, paint, and some plastic - not as extensive as before

I grew up in Richardson, does that count?
