Hobby Bunker Covert Intelligence

We hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. We were short handed here and the

shop was really busy. I had to work all weekend! I am trying to get ready for the Chicagoland Show but I am still up to my elbows in collections! I just received a list of 3500 models kits! Not sure if will but that one...I would have to build a second bunker just to store them.

We have a few pre-orders below as well as some new product information.

We have been carrying the hand made terrain made by John Gittens (JG Miniatures) for over 20 years. Sadly John Is retiring at the first of the year. We can take orders for a couple more months. For the most part we will be selling of just the existing stock. We can take orders for bit but you must buy - we are not taking unpaid pre-orders.

The Bead Sellers, The Rendezvous, The Mountain Men, The Fur Trade

A mountain man was an explorer who lived in the wilderness. They were instrumental in opening up the various Emigrant Trails (widened into wagon roads) allowing Americans in the east to settle the new territories of the far west by organized wagon trains traveling over roads explored and in many cases, physically improved by the mountain men and the big fur companies originally to serve the mule train based inland fur trade.
