Look up AAA Hobbies. If he don't have it, you don't need it.

You're probably thinking of Pearl Harbor Hobbies; unfortunately, they closed about six years ago. Your best bet is AAA Hobbies in Marietta, north of the city...well worth the drive. Just don't try it at rush hour :) Their hours are 10:00 to 6:00 Monday through Saturday and 1:00 to 5:00 on Sunday.

Indeed. It's a very hard-core shop for people who are way, way into building plastic scale models (they do nothing else -- no kites, no RC cars, no dollhouses, or any of the other stuff that you find in the more mainstream places).

It doesn't look terribly impressive when you first walk in -- it's just a small shop in a random strip mall -- but they've got a serious inventory of kits, paint, tools, books, and other stuff. I've never seen a shop that carries the number of photoetched parts that they do. The guys who mind the shop know what they're talking about, too.

Well worth the drive from the airport.
