Liem Tran & Karen Love
Owners

Liem is an avid plastic modeler, especially military and is looking to expand on the stores merchandise to include the newest DML, Trumpeter, Academy, etc releases. They stock MMIR, as well as a few other really good magazines, are getting in Humbrol and Vallejo paints, and will be special ordering photo-etch, resin kits, etc.

With the dwindling ammount of hobby shops in NC, Liem is trying his best to help perpetuate the hobby that we all love. Please go see them if you are in the Charlotte area, they really are trying to make a difference.

That's great - it's close to UNCC .
My son just started there so now I have a good reason to go to a model shop 2.5 hours away from home.

Thanks for the info. being from wilmington I usually have to go up to fayettville (Hayes Hobby's) or jacksonville Hobby Chest) now at least when I go up to see sister I can run up into town and have a look around

Oh yeah? I work there! If you're ever up at UNCC, drop by the copy center in the library and say hello

Steve - I'll definitely stop by next time I'm in town.

If you are ever in town on the first Sunday of the month, let me know; thats when our local modeling club meets.

Steve,

Where do you all meet? I am a new modeler that is looking to meet with other folks in the area. Any info is appreciated.

Ah, yet another NC hobby shop to spend money in while at Bragg. I will certainly visit in late Feb or Mar, unless I take an earlier gig in January. Any good resin, PE aftermarket stuff?
