 Ever since the 1970´s, the death of our hobby has been predicted to happen within short time - yet it is alive, maybe not kicking. It is finally up to us to keep it alive, and also keep the LHS alive. We need these dingy looking shops, stacked to the brim with the odds and ends of materials we need, run by grouchy old men, who are enthusiastic enough to make a marginal living out of their business, but are a fountain of knowledge. Where else would we get that foot length of brass tubing, the A4 sized 1/16" styrene sheet, the block of balsa wood? Yup, we could order most of it on-line, but do we always want to buy 10 times of what we actually need?The demise of the LHS won´t kill the hobby, but will make it more difficult and more expensive in the long run.
