Where are you Zeegler?

I'm in Southern Ontario, Canada. Near Niagara Falls. I'm from Manchester area though originally.

No worries Pete.

I think I may have found a store about 20 minutes away that specializes in R/C stuff, but also has model kits and painting supplies. I'm heading there after work today. Wish me luck.

I know what you mean about getting supplies! My nearest shop is 10 miles away, and depending on public transport, costs me £7.00 return!

Not to turn this into a “me too” post, but it’s much the same everywhere, I think, unless you live in a major city I suppose. Like you said, mail order is pretty much the way to go, but that has the drawback that you’re unlikely to order one or two pots of paint because of the postage costs, so you’ll end up putting mostly-built models on hold until you want to buy another, so you can put the paint into the same order — assuming you can find a webshop that sells both the models and the paints you want, that is

Unfortunately there really isn’t a solution, other than to think ahead and trying to not run out of things you can’t get locally.
