Hill Country Hobby SATX

Just a quick heads up for everyone. The store will be closed this coming Tuesday and Wednesday (4th & 5th). I will reopen on Thursday at the regular time. Thanks!

While Finlay is getting his hair cut, I received a large order. Several new kits in addition to the 32 new Model Color paints, a restock on AK products, new DSPIAE tools and Iwata airbrushes.

The wait is over….. sort of. My first shipment of the ICM B-26B Marauders are in. Unfortunately these are all spoken for, but the next wave will hopefully be here by next week. Reinforcements are coming!

Did you say sale dad?
I did Finlay! It’s the 5th anniversary sale!! Everything in stock is 20% off today though the 11th.

Excluding magazines,special orders, consignment and clearance items.

While Finlay rests up from his Easter egg hunting, it seems that the Easter Bunny made a late delivery to the store.

I’m beginning to believe that when Finlay places an order, he does so knowing full well he’ll be off when it arrives. That being said, here’s an order that just came in from near Finlay’s country of origin ( Wales ).

Now that we’ve lost an hour and have hopefully recovered from that and spring break, it’s time for a sale!! Everything is 20% off today 3/19 through Saturday 3/23!!

( excluding magazines, clearance, and consignment items)

That looks too much like work dad. Besides, you did such a good job yesterday with the order, I think I’ll let you handle this one too.
Ok Finlay, let me get cracking.

Some new stuff came in and of course the boss Finlay is off, so I had to do all the work. To be fair, since he’s boss he makes me do all the work anyway. Plus there was a mystery package that came today.

New product alert!!!! Now in stock, LIANG tools!!

Come check them out. I have some of their best selling items, but can order any of their products. Finlay will be glad to show you where they are in the store.

For all the Ford fans out there, the unibody F100 is finally here!! Also a couple of other Fords are in the mix.

Hi everybody! I want to let everyone know I will be closed starting at 4:00 pm this Friday the 9th to prepare for Modelfiesta. I will reopen on Thursday the 15th at 10:00. See y’all at the show.

It’s Finlay’s day off but that doesn’t stop things from arriving.
The all new tool of Airfix’s Sea King is here. Along with a restock of the popular Dune kits and all Tamiya paints, tape and tools.

I had to do this without Finlay today. He wanted to stay in bed, but I got it done. Plus there’s the new Vallejo Xpress Color rack in the store now!

Is that it dad? Time for treats now!!
Yes Finlay, you get a treat for all your hard work putting up the orders.
There was a restock of Tamiya spray paint and BSI glues in addition to these new kits.

Oliver, my shipping manager, informed me of an email he received last night concerning my shipment of Tamiya F-35B kit.
Apparently early on Christmas Eve, Buddy, Santa’s maintenance elf, inadvertently left an access panel loose on the sleigh. When Santa launched, a box destined for Hill Country Hobby fell into the maintenance hatch and wasn’t discovered until Santa’s back at the North Pole, at which time the email was sent and UPS was contracted to deliver the box here. It has arrived. Better late than never.

Just in time for your last minute shopping!! A bunch of new models came in today, dad!!
Well it’s a good thing you got a lot of rest this past week then Finlay.

My first day back in two weeks and you put me to work? Don’t you know you’re supposed to ease back into it dad?
I’m sorry Finlay, but it’s closing in on Christmas and new stuff needs to be put on the shelves.

More items will be in this week, but here’s the first in the new for Christmas kits!!

It’s been a bit since my last post, so let’s have a SALE!! 20% off all I stock items through Saturday the 25th! ( excluding consignment, clearance, and magazines). Also I will be closing at 4:00 pm Wednesday and all day Thanksgiving day.

One last thing I am no longer accepting items for consignment sales. If you currently have items on the shelf, feel free to keep them there until they sell if you’d like.

Thanks and happy beginning to the holiday season!!

What’s in dis box dad?
This is Tamiya’s latest white box Finlay. The F-35B. It should be available by Christmas at $115.

Do I have to work now?
Yes Finlay, an order just came in and you’ve had several treats already this morning. Don’t worry I’ll help you.

I want give everyone a heads up, that I will be closing early tomorrow, 3:30, to load up for the Austin show and won’t be back until Thursday the 12th. Hope to see y’all at the show.

I’m hungry now dad!! Ok Finlay, I’ll give you some cheerios.
This was just a partial order. The AK paint restock will be here Tuesday.

While Finlay stayed home in bed, I had to do his job and check these new items in.

I’m looking into bringing the Pro-Acrylic line into the store. Is there an interest in this brand? Let me know in the comments.

Dad, when did these come in?
Well Finlay, you were asleep. They just got here and I took them out and put them up.

Dad, this is the first new models you’ve got it since that national thing. Yes they are Finlay, but more will be coming soon.

I still don’t know what the Nats are dad, but I think it calls for a sale! Sounds good Finlay!! To commemorate the 2023 IPMS Nationals in San Marcos, we’ll have a 20% off sale store wide.

Excludes the usual, consignment, clearance, and magazines.

Just a heads up. Next Thursday the 3rd the store will be closed. I’m going to see what all the fuss is about this Nationals thing. I’ll be otherwise open normal hours next week.
Thanks!!
