Another LHS LOST...

I moved to back in '85 to finish up college at UNR and really had no intention of staying here, but man, this place really grew on me, I love it here!  Reno is a pretty cool town, Tahoe is 45 minutes away, the climate rocks and we have a decent hobby store.  My wife has a sister, but I believe I got the "good" one.  >;)~

I hope you have a good time here, don't blow all your money on the slots, although if you hit a big jackpot, you can go nuts in the hobby store!

Drive safe man, the weather should be great for your trip.  I hope you like High Sierra Models!  I think I'm going to swing by there later today.... I've been wanting to pick up Trumpeter's 1/32 Wildcat. 

Have fun at the slot tournament, and take advantage of the free drinks while you're hitting the slots.  heh heh

I'm glad you had a good trip, and had fun at the casino..... gotta love the cute cocktail waitresses and free drinks.... heh heh

Ya, Tom is off on Sunday and Monday.  I went by there on Saturday, picked up some more paint and got the new AM 1/48 SB2c-4 Helldiver.  Their selection of kits is pretty decent.  I can usually find most of what I'm looking for, and if it's not in stock, Tom will gladly order it.

Scott, I'm Headed back to Reno later today so, guess where I'll be stopping in at tomorrow...

heh heh, I'm swinging by there tomorrow as well on my lunch hour.  I need to get a few supplies (hopefully they carry Mr. Surfacer).  I can seldom walk out of there without having a new kit in my hand.  I've been eyeing the AM 1.48 Dauntless and the AM B-25... they've been calling to me in my sleep.... lol

I usually head over there shortly after 11:30, and spend at least a half hour there drooling over all the goodies.  LOL  When do you think you'll be there?

Cool!  As long as nothing comes up at work I'll be there and will look for ya!    You'll know I'm there if you see the Z parked out front.

There is an art supply store down on 4th street, and I think they have airbrushes so hopefully I'll be able to get a new airhose, otherwise I'll have to guestimate my spraying pressure.  

I looked everywhere last night for my single action airbrush, turpenoid and indigo oil for washes, I have no clue where the box went.  Oh well, I'll pick up some more at the art store. 

It's funny, my wife seems to have this 6th sense and always manages to call me on my cell when I just happen to be at the hobby store.    She's pretty cool about it though, and supports my hobbies.  Like I was telling you yesterday, I can go out every night and easily drink as much or more than the cost of a kit in just a few hours of partying, so that totally puts it into perspective for her.    Besides, then she knows where to find me, in my evil laboratory downstairs feverishly working on my models, as opposed to being out drinking with my buddies with all the cute little chickies (as she puts it).

OMG, you're not kidding.  The kids are always fascinated with my hobby stuff, especially the clamps, sprue snipper and the other odd bits.  Same thing with my tools, our youngest son has a tendency to "borrow" my screwdrivers and pliers.... then I have to retrieve them days later on the floor in his room.   

It's funny, my wife watched disc one with me of the Master Class Model Building DVD, she enjoyed it almost as much as I did, and is now expressing interest in building a kit!      Now that would be really cool!
