FAQs 

(Frequently Asked Questions)

We get a lot of requests for information or quickie answers to the same hobby questions.  If a reasonably good response is generated by our crack research staff, then those questions and answers will be posted here or in the Reference Material section.  Before writing in to HQ with your query, please check first to see if it's been asked before.  

HOWEVER, Our Number 1 FAQ is:
Can you help me to find a kit of . . . / badge from . . . / decals for . . . / hobby shop . . . etc.?

For finding hobby shops and products in Canada, please try the following link, and insert the name of the city/town you're seeking information on: http://canada411.yellowpages.ca/searchBusiness.do?what=hobby

We get a lot of requests like this coming through the e-mail slot.  Unfortunately there’s usually not much we can offer to help you on this one.  If you write in, we try to give a polite reply and suggest that the writer try some other Internet resources that are more geared towards the retail side of the hobby.  Please give them a try! 

And Our Number 2 FAQ is:
How do you do XXXXXXXX on a model?

Again, another very popular question that has likely been covered on any one of the hundreds of modelling websites out there these days.  Please do a Google search and see if you can find what you're looking for there, or start by checking out some of the links below.  After all, that's where we'd look to find the answer for you.
