One of the most asked questions I get asked on my channel is "
where did you get that model?". Honestly, you'd be surprised how often I get this question. And the answer is simple, Model Baron Hobbies in Lethbridge.
Sadly Model Baron Hobbies is closing its doors next month. This has been my model store for well over 20 years. The shop owner is an awesome guy who has been keeping the shelves stocked with the latest kits. He's even special ordered many products for me that you've seen demonstrated on the channel, and this blog.
I was really sad going into Model Baron for what could be my last trip but also knowing that the store will be closing. I have to admit I didn't want to go to the store, saying goodbye was going to be difficult for me. But I have to also admit, I'm excited for the owner as he's venturing into retirement and keeping Model Baron opened in a smaller capacity, which I've dubbed "Mobile Baron Hobbies".
I was really grateful to the owner for allowing me to take these pictures of the shop. Please keep in mind that the shelves look a bit barren it's just because of the discount sale that's been going on. Before this, you had to spend a lot of time in the shop carefully looking over everything.

The store's "guard dog" Bella, who is fueled mostly by hugs and Timbits. She's a big sweetie!
