Southgate, 15 north of Long Beach, 20 miles south of Downtown Los Angeles. But, moving to Fontana in 2 weeks. New home off the Cherry exit, 2 exits past where the 15 and 10 freeway meet.
Since im packing, I have been able to finally count all the kits I have been hoping to build during this lifetime. Never thought I had so much nonsense, now I see why my wife rolls her eyes everytime she looks at them. Guess I thought I still had only a "few" kits,,,,hehehehe.

So besides Chuck, who is going to come visit us at the California Show (SCAHMS 2005) which is on March 11-12 in Orange County?
Armorama will have a table there and you are welcome to bring models to display (or to enter in the contest). It should be a great show especially if you are into figures. This is one of the highest quality model shows on the west coast or perhaps even North America and draws hobbyists from all over the world.
For more info visit my show report for the SCAHMS show last year.
Cheers,
Jim
