Hey all-
Been reading a bit about going to the LHS. Unfortunately for me, here in the Capital Region of New York, we only have three shops. One being the area Hobby Town, one being pretty much dedicated to trains and the other a hodge-podge of 'girly' stuff. The local Hobby Town isn't too bad. Decent place to pick up basic supplies but their model selection leaves a bit to be desired, especially the 1:72 stuff. Plus the owner is a nice guy.
But...
I like shopping on-line for stuff but I like to have the option of going to a place and 'window-shop'. The local Hobby Town does not do that for me. They seem to be more interested in RC cars and NAPCAR die-casts. Is there anyone here from southern NY (Not the city or the Island), Southern VT, Eastern Mass or Connecticut that has any hobby shops that they frequent that would be recommended?
cheers
