Damo666 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Came across this in my travels the other night. Used to see the shop in operation many times in the past, before I rekindled my interest in the hobby. Sadly I never visited. I'll leave this here for a while to see if anyone can guess / remember where it was. Edited February 24 by Damo666 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
