Illinois!  What part of Chicago is that in?  (Nice score on the ships BTW)

Did the hobby store owner mention why he chose an old service garage as a place for his hobby store?

Does seem a but strange as I would think in St. Louis summers, air conditioning the building would be difficult.

No he didn't. 

I just opened the one kit and put the hull halves together.  Guess I'll start it. 

Found there is a Constitution page on Facebook with some cool pics even of some of the rigging too.

Spue-ce Goose - their main focus is RC stuff.

Unfortunately, these days that is the main focus in the Chicago area hobby shops that still survive.

Spue-ce Goose - their main focus is RC stuff.

One aisle (3/4 of it) is planes, 1 aisle and a wall is cars,etc, and hardly a full aisle for ships.

He has 1 wood USS Constitution kit for $314 - too pricey for me. 

The back store room is full of misc stuff stuffed in boxes.  I think it used to be gas station/garage cause two garage bays are closed and that is where the 'storage room is. 

I have thought of buying more of the kits, possibly for others to have them.

I was quite happy when he told me the price of them he had in the back room.  Like I said he has a few more, about 8 - 10. 

Even the one that was still sealed up is only $59.99.  I was expecting them to be a bit more.  

Are you serious?? Let's get this straighth.... you mean the 3+ foot long Connie for $14?? They go here for EUR. 85 ish (110-ish in dollars..?)

Wish i already emigrated.....
