I wouldn't really mourn the loss of our Hobby Towns. Sure they are better than nothing but they aren't that great for modelers. The supply section is fairly limited (unless you want MM enamel). Kits are just too far above online prices to actually buy and not be questioned about your sanity. Doesn't really surprise me when LHS close up anymore. Its impossible to compete with the internet is such a specialized market.

Still though it's nice to have a place to stop in and actually fondle kits occasionally.

I just found out that another LHS in the Boise, Idaho area has closed. Hobbytown USA that was located in Boise has closed. This leaves very few options to pick up model kits in the Boise area.  Sure, you can run to Michael's or Hobby Lobby, but, as we all know, they dont usually carry much variety.  The only other truly "local" option is from JACHobbies.com.  He is an online retailer; however, for those who live in the Boise Metro area, he will meet up and deliver in person to avoid shipping charges.

On the Bench:  Lots of unfinished projects!  Smile
