    Thanks to this thread I hit up a Hobby store here in Vancouver (Kerrisdale) today.

    So much cool shit! They did also have cool kits for starting off a model garage project with tool boxes, lifts etc

    Definitely will be setting up a small workstation at home to start working on model cars again. The store here had so many unique models (JDM/VIP/rare Euros/ Initial D etc etc).

    Thanks again for posting this!
    No worries! What's the name of the store and where is it located? Might have to hit it up next time I am over the way? What did you buy?

    It's located on west Blvd just off 41st. It's called Magic Box Hobbies.

    I didn't buy anything today but will definitely be thinking about what my first purchase will be.

    Aside from RC cars are there model cars where you can build them in a way that includes putting the engine together? I think most model cars I built as a kid the engine all came as one complete part.

    When I used to do models, you'd have to pony up for the good quality kits to get that like the Japanese-made ones that cost twice as much as the American kits. I remember all the blocks, valve covers, headers, fans, etc being separate pieces and painting them different colours instead of having one big chunk of molded plastic in the cheaper kits.

    Being scaled models being 1/12 or smaller, you are not going to get a good replica of the engine. But when I was a kid, Tamiya is one of the better brands and probably still is. American plastic kits are all junk unless you are crafty enough to refine them.

    Like this kind of detail on a 1/24 kit is pretty good
