Brian - There's a couple in LA/ LA area:
Last Grenadier, Burbank, 818-848-9144
Aero Hobbies, Santa Monica, 2918 Santa Monica Blvd
Brookhurst Hobbies, Anaheim-ish, 714-636-3580, 12188 Brookhurst St
cross street is Chapman Ave
War House, Long Beach, 562-424-3180, 630 W. Willow St.
I'd recommend Brookhurst first - they're the biggest, but they're
about 45min or so south of downtown LA. War House is south of LA in Long
Beach, but my 2nd choice. Aero Hobbies is 3rd, and Last Grenadier is 4th.
Let me know what you find/buy.
More information on two of the shops.
For Brookhurst hobbies, from LA take the 405 freeway south to the 22 freeway
east. Exit north on Brookhurst. The store is in a stip mall several blocks
north. It is on the East side of the street across form the Pavilians shoping
center.
For the Warhouse take the 710 (long Beach) freeway south. Exit on Willow
street going east. The shop is one small block east of the freeway. It is on
the south side of the street right before you reach the Bank of America.
Well, I ended up going only to Brookhurst, because I spent my whole gaming
budget for the trip there.
I found an interesting line of 1/300th stuff, a company called C in C,
they've discontinued production, but the guy at Brookhurst said they hope to
start up again. They make WW II, Modern, and Sci Fi stuff. I bought the last
of their Sci Fi stock - a really nasty looking MBT, and somme IFV's that
really don't fit my ideal for APC's, but they'll make good C3, Forward
Observer, and CBR vehicles. I also bought a pack of 3 Gepards. I know they're
obsolete IRL, but they look cool as ADS vehicles. I also picked up some packs
of M113's with a turret I've never seen on them. Again, the real ones are
probably outdated, but I've always liked the LOOKs of the things, and in the
game, I can make them function as advanced as I wanna pay points for, so
there. I also picked up some modern US infantry, but it's all rifleme, so I'm
still gonna need to find some APSW and other specialist elements for DSII.
All in all, I spent about $50.00, but it was fun. The only drawback is that
now that I've stocked up on tru 1/300th stuff, most of my Ral Partha
Battletech vehicles are too damn big to use. But I like the looks of this new
stuff better, and it was so nicely cheap.

If you guys are interested, AgamemCon will have a gaming room.
What kind of table space and time would you need for a mineatures game?
