I am looking for a local, close(ish) hobby shop, either virtual or brick and mortar that ships paint at a reasonable rate. The only Hobby Shop (a train store) withing about 300 miles of me has stopped carrying Testors Model Master paints.

I am looking for a good supplier and maybe someone who is active here to send some business.

You can try John Billmyer over at Tiny the Modeler. I think he's over in Four Oaks, NC (or maybe Benson, NC, I can't remember). Shoot him an email at [email protected].

Thanks Jim, I'll check it out.

Gino,

You could try New Brookland Railroad & Hobby in West Columbia, SC.

They carry MM, Tamiya, Testors/Polly Scale Rail Road (+ some A/C & Vehicle), and Floquil Rail Road Paints.

Since I work about 5 miles from the store, I just drop by during lunch or after work, so I don't know their shipping parameters, but I do know they will special order items from their distributor(s).

New Brookland carries a nice little line of mostly 1/35 Armor Kits besides their extensive train stuff.

405 State Street
West Columbia, SC 29169

(803) 791-3958

I'd be willing to assist if you need it for a live person for the initial order and/or shipping. Just let me know.

Two in Fayetville, NC that I've shopped at:

Hayes Hobby House
Eutaw Village North
809 Elm Street
Fayetteville, NC 28303-4151

Hobbit Hobby
6111 Yadkin Road, #A,
Fayetteville, NC28303

(910) 864-3155

I've actually had the guys at Hobbit Hobby special order some MV Lenses and they mailed them to my home in SC, while I've purchased items over the counter in both stores at least a half-dozen times for each.

Thanks Jeff, I'll check into them.
