Welcome to Wisconsin's and Illinois remarkable sections of weather. Word has it that today is going to be the last day to get your hobby goods for the next 5@! Why you say? Well our normal stormy weather is supposed to go from Sunday to Wednesday!And you know how much you would rather be working on your hobbies then getting wet trying to get your supplies. So come on in the next two days and stay dry,and be ready for the wet!
We still have some paint out of our restock of Gloss,but it is getting low,so if your cars want to shine,it's either gloss or Pearl.We will be getting a huge supply of New truck and car and armor and armor paint sets either Friday or a week from Tuesday[yay UPS] Please do not be like the fed ex driver[covering] who asked someone in the building upstairs where we were , the person here said "Who???" and order was returned.The order is on it's way by UPS with additions. Hope to see you soon.[and dry,LOL.]

Both of us are not doing well today. This crazy weather has taken its toll. We will try to open later today but no guarantee.

We are open and most of the new stuff from the 8boxes is up and out. Remember our new closing time is 6 pm,especially after Dr. visits yesterday. May all of you have a good day,and remember Model building. Railroading,Game playing, or Historical or fantasy or even Sci Fi book reading are all excellent ways to keep kids busy on rainy days when it is to nasty to let them go out,and could be to noisy to keep them in. Imagination is to good to waste.
