anyone remember or even know who owned the model shop on the cregagh rd facing oberon st ?

 
the finished display models they had in the shop window were fantastic. i once asked how much to buy one and think it worked out cheaper to buy one they done than buying from scratch. the differant paints were dear even back then. in all the models i ever done i never painted any !

i remember during my time at st anthonys they had a huge display cabnet full of model planes old dolls and things like that i used to love looking at all the different stuff in it. .. i know of a model shop at the top of king street they have everything in there !!!!!!!!!
