Model training, building, finishing, designing

Something I haven't found is a place to go to learn more about model building.  I'm not talking about on the web, I'm talking somewhere local to me to attend in person.  Wouldn't that be cool to go get more instruction from professional model builders.  That would make a cool small business.

Any ideas from all of you readers would be beneficial to all of us.  Does anyone want to send me stuff to post?

Another cool model site

I am always amazed at the sites that pop up on the net.  This makes modeling a lot more fun.
Check it out.

And yet I keep finding more sites with tons of fun stuff

Tammies Hobbies Beaverton Oregon

I live next to one of the best hobby shops in the world. If there was one complaint about them it would be the prices. They jack their prices on models. I can't speak about the trains, and R/C stuff because I haven't researched it yet. But I have looked into the models they sell and I can get them cheaper from other websites I have listed on my blog. Disappointing because they are so close and handy.
