Latest Updates
February 27 - - Alpine Division Hobby Shop: "The instructions for the Alpine Division HO scale Hobby Shop spend more time telling you what's
not included in the kit than how to construct the model." - - Jeff Junker (This model is on display at the Hub)>
January 23 - - Conan the Barbarian by Tim Kidwell: "Modelers should take the time to inspect the pieces, cleaning up imperfections around the
faces, hands and feet."
December 19 - - Aoshima Nissan Skyline GT-R by Mark Melchiori: "The chassis has some of the suspension, exhaust and the bottom half of the
engine molded in place. Separate parts that complete the suspensions and exhaust system are well done, especially the brakes."
