I'm looking for a decent hobby (or other) store with models. My son and I have built a couple together and he is getting the itch again. I went to Apponaug which had a fair selection but they really cater more to the professional plastic modeler and less to a 5 year old kid ;)

Looking especially for simple kits like rockets or the Space Shuttle - that sort of thing.

Sounds like Dad is having as much fun as son is...:claps:

Hmmm - thought they were more RC and little to no models....

Nah, he makes sense about half the time as opposed to Skip, who rarely makes sense though the law of averages states he'll stumble across a proper argument from time to time :laughs: :wiggle:

I found a few car models that I built with my son in the big arts and craft store while I was buying my plug paints. Not Michaels the other one AC moores.

John, buy him a toy lathe and a plastic spray booth and some wood.:bl:

Look on ebay, tons of models for you's to build. Cheap money too.

I know Rays hobbies has alot of rc stuff not sure on plastic models thou.
