I'm trying to run down 2 vendors who were at the Atlanta show. Unfortunately, I didn't get their names, but here is where they were located at:

The first was in the small room down the hall. He occupied the right wall as you walked in.

The second was in the main room. They were set up towards the end of the second aisle. I believe they were right next to the folks from Hobby Trax, and had a lot of Tamiya 1/48 scale kits.

Any help with either one's contact info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hey Bob,

I'm guessing Glen wasn't able to help much.

I'm trying to remember who the two vendors might have been.

It's possible that the vendor in the small room was Rare Plane Detective.

http://www.rare-planedetective.com/

The vendor in the large room might have been Freetime Hobbies.

http://www.freetimehobbies.com/

My memory ain't what it used to be, so no guarantees...lol, but maybe these are starting points.

yep, the one in the small room was Rare Plane Detective...

as for the other, if it was RIGHT next to HobbyTrax, it was Deans Hobby Stop. I think I do remember they had some 1/48 taymia...also a bunch of "builder specials" which were very interesting if you opened the box!

Freetime was across the isle, next to the Grex and TS Hobbies.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Andy - you're right on the money with the "builder's specials"
