Just because we gettin gour ages in............. i'm 33 and i love going into old skool proper model shops. They are like an alladins treasure trove. But i can see why they are going as everyone buys online.Son of a gun-ner wrote:I'm 59, I suppose a mere youngster to you Mr Ragnar lol.

As for shops, I still love going to to old proper model shops and hardware stores.
It's a shame because when i buy a new model i do actually like to see it in person, unless of course it is super cheap.
My kids are never going to see this, which is why i am trying to build up our collection so we can share them with the kids.
Did anyone say when they are closing down?
If they still open, i think i would like to visit before it's too late.
