Model Forum / General / Models / July 2008

Ummm... depends on what kind of thing you like to build.  Reed's Hobby is a
train place, mostly, and there are a couple of more general model shops I
know of (mostly in the Clairemont area), but other than Reed's I've gone
over to a lot of web purchases for actual kits of late.

Seems like supplies are the bread and butter for most shops these days.
Our local hobby shops in Poway either moved, or closed up their brick
and mortar location to stick to Internet sales.

Discount Hobbies in Claremont is good for paints and such. Their model
car selection is so-so. Not enough of an armor head to comment on that
area. Sci-fi is weak, but they do have the Moebius Seaview.

Hobby Central off Black Mountain Rd. isn't bad, their model selection is
more in line with my taste, but they don't have quite the brimming
selection of paints.

Cheers,
Dave
