A new Hobby Shop opened up a few towns away. The guy is super cool, and I like to shop local and support these young entrepreneurs. He has a little bit of everything. I helped him on his stock and pricing, which was a little off, but he had some very interesting stuff. I've posted two of the models I purchased from there, In the last couple of weeks I purchased three more. One was extremely rate, he was asking $60 bucks, but gave it to me for $40 (I felt like I burned him on that one), that's the Lola T70, 1/25 scale, they're going for $70 bucks on EBAY, they are a rare model, and when I opened it, I found it to be intimidating, it is extremely detailed, front and backopen to reveal everything)).
The next was an unusual but conventional '55 Chevrolet 2-ton truck. I had never seen this one before, and he had only one. It's normalcy attracted me, I got it for it's sticker price of $24.00, 1/48 scale, it comes with a lot of the stuff in the bed, this one will be a challenge to do justice to.
Yesterday, I went there and found an original 1960's made model of the '56 Ford Victoria 1/25 scale. This models has opening doors, and engine hood, with an engine in it! He gave me that '56 Ford for $30 bucks, again, the only one he had. I saved around $8 to $10 bucks compared to EBAY, and I got it right away. There's something to be said for that instant gratification. The '56 Ford Victoria has been re-introduced, but this is of the original runs.
I am making a point to always buy something from this guy when I visit his shop. I hope his Hobby shop thrives, there are so few in Connecticut. I thought I'd share this pic with you.
