Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
On-line ordering is simple and painless, but there's nothing like going into a store and getting the item you want. Burnaby Hobbies carries Zoukei Mura products. As mentioned before in this thread, you have to try the nippers from Zoukei Mura. It's on par or better than the God Hand cutters that I have. I use the Tamiya cutters for larger parts and the Zoukei Mura and God Hand for smaller pieces. I'm eyeing the file mentioned in the blog.

Imperial Hobbies Customer Appreciation Sale starts today and goes for three days. 25% off minimum, store wide. Time to stock up on primers, paints, brushes, model kits, miniatures, etc. I'm running low on Top Loaders for my stamp collection, lol. Not meant for it, but acid free, clear, and easy to sort through = best method - being able to see the, all important, condition of the gum side. When undisturbed, pristine condition of the gum raises the value of the stamp by up to 200%, yeah, it's important. Besides, handling the stamp more than you need to, increases the chances of damage. This way, I can protect my investments and actually enjoy viewing them.

Imperial Hobbies is having their annual Customer Appreciation Week. I'm not into models that much these days, but was looking for Tamiya Single Use CA Glue. I called Imperial and they didn't have it in stock....... actually, they never do - always sold out.
Did a google search and lo and behold, a place in Burquitlam had one. And for a good price, to boot. A place called Ages 3+ Up. I sort of remember seeing this place before in Lougheed Mall, but they closed down........... so I thought.
They just moved. The strip mall on the corner of North Road and Lougheed Hwy.
Anyway, they have the full line up of Tamiya paints and tools. God Hand products. Not just the pliers but other stuff. Mr. Hobby Creos, etc.

Getting ready to start up modelling again. I went into the rape dungeon last night to see if the airbrush station was still working properly. I then noticed this........
Damn, I never cleaned it the last time I used it. I take care of my airbrushes, so no worries there. I have spare parts and everything is taken apart and stored properly. I just need to find the cleaning liquids and lubricating solutions. Iwata Media, ftmfw!
Believe it or not, the most enjoyment I get from airbrushing is the cleaning part. Don't know why, but taking the airbrushes apart and taking time to get it spotless and getting the shine back on the finish is so oddly satisfying. I don't own guns, but I imagine cleaning your weapons is just as cool.

Imperial Hobbies Boxing Week is coming up. The store is limiting the number of customers to 25 at any given time. I haven't gone in a couple of years. I'm retired with nothing better to do.

I was at Coquitlam Centre today and saw this RC place and it reminded me of Go Go Hobbies. I was wAndering what happened to the place because everytime I drive by the place it is closed and looks abandoned. I tried calling them today. I actually got through. The store has been closed for over a year due to the owner having health issues. Then Covid (fuck that virus), hit and it added to the problems.
Long story short, they are open, but only on weekends. They started opening not that long ago. They are closed tomorrow and Saturday, but will be open on Sunday.
EDIT: This is Go Go Hobbies, btw. Not the RC place in Coquitlam Centre. Just saw this post again and realized it could be confusing. Anyway, carry on carrying on.

^^ cuz we don't really have shops here for RC and I couldn't pick up from the states, I wanted to get back into rc and try drones. But stonks and cars have pretty much drained all my money already.
We don't got shit up here. I start getting into sports card trading when Covid started last Spring. Hopefully one day be able to attend those card shows down in the states, I've been enjoying this new hobby.
Been RC Racing forever... lots of local shops for that
Go Go Hobbies

Maple Hobbies

For the love of Andre the Giant. Imperial Hobbies Sale is today until Sunday. It crept up. I found some much needed top loader card protectors hidden way back in a drawer so called them. The guy sounded out of breath. That’s when I realized it’s the sale.
Anyway, the people who make the top loaders stopped making them, because they are now making PPE. Fuck this Wuhan shit!!!! Every fucking day goes by and I just want to blow that place out of the planet’s surface.
Okay, deep breaths, deep breaths………………………….

So I bought some old Radio Shack RC cars from a garage sale:
Spoiler!
Both mini trucks don't have remotes. How hard would it be to get remotes for them? I'll use any remote if it's doable.
The two bigger trucks take 9v 006 packs. Easy to grab from a local store? Also they share one remote. Would it be easy to buy another remote and be able to operate them separately with two said remotes?
The last one (not pictured which is a Radio Shack Wild Horse) requires a 9.6v pack. I'm guessing these packs are all standard sizing?
