Wyoming!!??!?!!!??! Mike u gotta be kiddin me!! I see ads for model shops on the West Coast all the time. they're everywhere.
NEways, just be glad u dont live in New York City, their situation there is embarassing. I've been down there a good number of times, and, get this, I've looked in their phone books......there are more garden and plant shops, than there are model shops. and this is in a city!! now u know why they never seem to post about hobby shows in New York. weird. u'd think that in a place where modeling would appear to be a cheaper more economical hobby, and by far more interesting hobby than other possibilities, it would thrive, but its almost unheard of.
one of the shops I was in was about 10 feet wide, 30-or-so feet deep, and range from 8-15 feet high. it was crammed with models, boht kits and ones the owner built. they've now moved, but their new location is still pretty small, not much larger actually, but cleaner.
