Geo Storm Trooper

That is awesome. I have been looking through my stash to do something like this too! I love the idea of making a non-typical car into a trooper  car. I was thinking of doing either a Shakopee or Eden Prairie police car though (both cities in minnesota).

BTW are you a fellow Minnesotian?

Looks good,but I'm curious about the model itself.Who made a model of a Geo Storm?

I tend to really like kits that are off the beaten path.

Hey, just down the road. I'm in tiny Spring Lake Park, sandwiched between Blaine and Fridley.

I am in the shakopee area. As for clubs I know of the RPM Guys.

They meet in Edina and there is the MCCM guys

And I attend the MCM that meets in Eden Prairie.

University Hobbies was awesome. I grew up in the area as well (I've only recently returned, having lived in Crystal for many years) and when they made it illegal to sell superglue and spray paint to minors, the owner used to sell to my friends and I so long as nobody else was in the store at the time. He knew by the quantity of models and miniatures we were buying (and had been buying for several years prior) that we were clearly not huffing the stuff. :)

I was sad to see it close. Doubly so now that I live in the area again, as it would be much more convenient than driving down to Hub. (A trip I still generally make twice weekly, despite the distance.)

Isn't it amazing how errant behavior by a few effects us all? In Clark County ALL spraypaint has to be kept behind LOCKED doors. Seems we had a "tagger" problem a while back, with folks getting mighty angry finding their walls and such painted (naturally). The restrictions certainly contributed to the cessation of the problem, but I for one resent the inconvenience. I know that's a little narrow minded but....................................

We have no choice. Clark County has an ordnance mandating the locked doors. There is one old boy who runs a LHS who refuses though, guess where I shop?

I'd tell you, but I recall that one of the forum rules is no politics.

Of course, it's totally not politics at all to point out that he hasn't been funny since the end of the Al Franken Decade.
