Hi
I've been checking out the company Hobby Space and have been wondering if they are any good.
There prices seem very low, and I have been wondering if any of you have ever ordered from them.
Thanks, Donald

Hi Donald,
I ordered from Hobby Space about last August and got excellent
service. My order came in from Hong Kong in less than ten days.
Haven't ordered recently but when I did I was highly satisfied.
Very reasonable postage too.

Search on these forums. They seem a bit hit and miss.

It all depends on how much you are willing to pay for shipping. I've ordered several items from them. It usually takes me a month to receive my order, but I am able to keep track of it. Don't expect shrinkwrap. And, the package will look like it was used as a football.

Nice build. I would recommend applying another flat coat. The tracks should be black. I was under the impression that they were supposed to be red oxide, for a couple of years. You've done an excellent job, on the camo and jack block. The tools are well done, but the handles of the bolt cutters should be closer to red brown. They were made of bakelite. I don't mean to nitpick, only to share my knowledge. However, if you had fun, you did it right. What brand of paint did you use? It's hard to believe that the tracks are oob. I just finished weathering some and was disappointed, with the result. Your's look great!
