Planning on itery soon. Had to check my paint stash inventory list of the discontinued Model Master colors. Definitely going to grab a couple bottles of Aircraft Grey and Panzer Dunkelgelb 1943 and.... if I’m not mistaken there is a RLM 23 Red. Coulda sworn it was in there. Looking to grab Tamiya Light Gunmetal and Racing White lacquer colors too. Who knows, I might grab either the Jenny kit and or one of the balsa wood aircraft kit.

I remember those ads. Full page. Discount Hobbies. Maybe

I think that was the name of the place. Yes, full page adds with lists of kits and prices.

Yes,I remember I used to order from that guy too.

Yes! That’s the one!

Made a quick stop after work today. Picked up a bottle of Tamiya lacquer color called Light Gun Metal (passed by on Racing White for now), grabbed 5 bottles of Model Master acrylics (discounted) - Aircraft Grey (2), RLM 23 (red), PanzerDunkengelb 1943, and Green FS34258 (enamel). That color is similar to PollyScale WarPac Grey Green / LifeColor Mimetic Green. They had a lot of Helio Drab Green

Oh yeah... all 6 bottles came to $14 and change. I was expected to pay $20 - $25.

This Friday and Saturday, Clinton is having their annual Christmas Holiday Shopping Stroll in the village. Clinton Hobbytown is one of the participant stores to stay open til 9pm. Guess where I’m taking the missus to shop for me?

Hey.... I gotta give her a stutle hint.

Nice! You can never have too many paints.

Don’t tell that to my wife. She says I have too many paint bottles.

Just tell her that you could be spending that money at strip clubs instead…

Stik's career as a couples therapist was, and I put it mildly, short-lived.
