Hey, Bill! I see you're from Milwaukee, WI. I was raised in Oconomowoc, so small world!

 

I suppose I should chime in too. I'm just south of Milwaukee over dere by the Mars Cheese Castle.

Model Empire is awesome. Another good hobby store is Hiawatha Hobbies. They are located in Waukesha. They stock stuff for a good mix of hobbies. It’s on the side of being tightly packed, and dim. Worth the stop though.

Welcome! Questions are good!

I'm actually in Greenfield, a suburb of Milwaukee.  I put Milwaukee in my profile cuz I didn't think most folks would know would have heard of Greenfield.

I agree, nice to know there are some other locals around.  WI is a great and lovely state to live in.  I too have been to Model Empire quite a few times.  Very nice place run by very nice people.  When I was last there and speaking with the owner, he told me he has customers who come up from Chicago as many of the shops there have closed.  It's a shame that a couple of other local shops have recently (within the last 2-3 years) closed.

I went to Milwaukee once for a week on business. Very nice city. I didn't go to a hobby store, but I did find a great used bookstore and bought a couple of books about the Milwaukee Road, Route of the Hiawathas.

It would be my pleasure. I'm sure downtown doesn't look like that photo anymore.

I kind of forget the building I was working on, but it was a combination office and retail thing, a highrise.

EDIT: Milwaukee Center.

Interesting work that you do. I think I would like doing that.

I'm getting into some serious modelling for the first time.  By serious, I mean the proper finishing methods (which to me are rather daunting).  I have built many WWII German armor pcs. a few years ago but just sort of mass produced them, hand painting everything without regard to weathering, masking, etc.  I'm determined to do a better job this time 'round.  Going to be putting together WWII aircraft to start.

Please bear with me as I will have many questions (and not many answers) in the near future.
