New Hobby store in South Winnipeg with a big selection of car model kits


Since cold weather is looming I thought I would mention this

 

This place was mentioned on winnipeg reddit - It just opened so I went by -its by St Vital centre

 

He has got a good selection as the attached pictures indicate 

As a sample of his pricing the 1966 Grumpy's toy is 38.00 plus taxes

That was one of the cheaper kits,  most basic 1/25 like that were priced from 40-55.  Too rich for me.  and no line of testors and no real decent aftermarket detail parts either.

I wish him luck,  but almost impossible to stay alive with the internet these days.  Even Gooch is gone.

From the age of about 12 into my 40's, i loved building these kits but now i have little patience to do it. I have about 10 kits that are still in the box of various 50's and 60's Chevy's that may never be built. Today' generations have no desire at all to do this kind of stuff, they just want video games. I still have most of the kits that i built going back to my teen years. Sadly it is a lost art and a few of us older guys are still doing it for now.

What's the name of this store and address? Would give me something to check out while my daughter is at Vball camp later this fall.
