Chooch Shingles
« on: March 18, 2017, 06:30:55 AM »
Maybe preaching to the choir here, but I just discovered this product at the local hobby shop today and thought I'd share:

http://www.choochenterprises.com/8920.html

I bought all they had in both N/HO and HO.  Those of you in 28 mm might prefer the O scale.  Several projects for both my model railroading and my miniatures just got either a lot easier or actually workable - or both.  And I will be buying more.  They only had 3 and 4 sets respectively of the two sizes I bought.

I am in northern California, USA.  For those who are bound to ask for an overseas supplier - these are so light that shipping shouldn't be too expensive, though length might cause a bit of an issue.

Just looking over the website - and while I love the shingles product and I'm okay with the price - oh, wow, are they way over charging for craft paint!  Five bottles of craft paint I can go to the store and get for less than $10, probably a lot less - and they are selling it for almost $20.  Wow.  Oh, well, still will be getting many more of the shingles.

Nice find. And yes, I'm sure there's the "lazy tax" that every supplier decides to hit us with.
