SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

Heh, I've built two of the regular ones but didn't know they also made that in a motorised version. TBH the motor reminds me of the ones you could clip under Lego boats in the '80s :)

The store has been pretty much in the same location since 1953! Old timey feeling to it.

Excited to read through and maybe even get some inspiration from Mr. Paine's work!

That's awesome, I'm jealous.
I moved back to my home town a few months ago after being gone for 30 years.
Bud's was a hobby / fish and tackle shop here in Massachusetts me and my brothers hung out at.
I bought my first model there in the early 1970s
It's long gone now...
Even though I'm home, that shop being gone made me realize the truth behind the saying " you can never go home again ".

I've been living here my entire 66 years, but just like many people in my life, businesses, buildings and other spaces just dissappear.

I had the same barber from the age of 11 or so, until he retired about 5 years ago. He knew my dad, my brother, and always inquired about them.

I feel like the gig economy, superstores and online shopping have robbed us of a bit of our humanity.

So a visit to the old haunts puts me in a nice place. :)
 
Maybe the old, but not the farts?

More like a general homey, cozy musty type thing. Degrading styrene, various chemicals/thinners, lots of cardboard and shrink-wrap sorta embeds itself into the ceiling floor and walls after several decades.

AFAIAC, it means you are in the right place.

Yesterday evening, my order of a different set of tracks for Cuckoo as well as two gun barrels for other models arrived. The book I purchased elsewhere to complete the set — it's from a series of books with wartime photos from my area, taken by German soldiers. The other day I was looking online for a copy, and found that a second-hand shop at a farm I pass every so often had it. As I noticed the shop was open when I passed there yesterday, I went in and bought it.
