Been fooling with 1/25 again after about a 40-year hiatus.
Nearest hobby shop to me is about 50 miles away, and walking in there was like revisiting my childhood a bit.
Run & staffed by enthusiastic young guys, like in their 20s or so; I'd have expected staff at least twice that age.

That industry is kinda odd, like stuff you see online that's no longer available and resin parts makers that don't answer their phones.
FWIW there's a model-making site called Mopars In Scale, with some really cool builds & amazing work.
