Homer Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Sadly the shops are disappearing all to quickly, i have no choice but to shop on line being disabled. I miss those days going to a great shop in Newcastle upon tyne ,it had been trading since 1930s ,but had to close ,now we only have one local shop . As you say try and buy from your local shop when possible and i agree thats the thing to do . The days of every news agent and woolworths being the places to get the model necessities are long gone sadly . But at least the hobby has not died out ,all the best take care 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi David, Nice pack of models, My favorite is the Warrior and the Scorpion, I remember having as a child one that I could play with, on a scale maybe 1/12? ... the hull was more or less soft plastic, and the turret was hard, with the tracks that made a hellish noise when I gave it speed ... what memories ... Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How times have changed. I cannot go to my local model shop at present as in Ireland all None Essential Retail is still closed due to the Covid restrictions. He operates a delivery service via the post office for orders, so not too bad. But really missing going in and having a browse around, though my bank account isn't! 🤣🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
