Title: Local Hobby stores
Post by: Ryan K on Tue 01/03/12 07:12 AM
An idea of having a webpage of local hobby shops/supply stores has come up. I think this can be really useful for us, so with that can you guys post where you get your kits and supplies locally. We need items like name, address, phone, and website if they have one. We can organize later things like in the Triangle (Harbor Freight) and Regionally (Hayes Hobbies).

Crazy as it sounds, there is a combination hobby shop/lawn mower shop (yes, same store) on 401 in Garner near the Walmart.  I have been there once looking for paint.  They had a few models, some RC stuff and a rack for Tamiya paint.
