Hi,
I am from Champaign (currently in the Middle East for deployment) and am looking for any fellow modelers in the area.

Hi Larry,
I think you will find this site a great source of information and help with just about anything you will need. Are there any good hobby shops in the Mattoon area?

Hi Bob,
I grew up out near Elgin, my folks still live out there. Any good hobby shops out by you?
Larry, If you ever get out to the Champaign area, there is a hobby shop called Slot & Wing that gets alot of scratch and dent stuff from Tower etc and you can usually find some interesting stuff. There armor collection is small but they can get almost anything you need. The guys there are all pretty good people too.
