UpScale Hobbies is a fantastic local shop in Sellersburg, that specializes in Gundam, autos, paints, assorted supplies/diorama materials, odd and ends, and a serious section of GamesWorkshop game stuff (40k, Age of Sigmar, Blood Bowl, and some other stuff make appearances here).
Knowledgeable hobby staff (Justin is a Gundam guru, and Chris, one of the owners, is an auto modeler, painting/hobbying specialist), that is extremely helpful.
There is a small, but vibrant gaming scene there as well (associated with the various warhammer games), that means there are often hobbyists there working on models, sharing tips, or playing games and they are very welcoming of those who are interested in dipping their toes in some aspect of the gaming hobbies.
The prices are reasonable, and they even deal in trade ins if you have in box models/gundamns resting on your shelf you think you will never get into and want to trade in.
The store is generally well stocked (sometimes paint distributors are a little slow to keep em fully stocked), and they are quick to order things you might want that they dont have in stock right then.

I told him that I needed it for a gift by the 14th and asked if he could possibly get it out sooner. He told me he would process it tomorrow. The next day I received confirmation my order was processed and I have a shipping date that will get my gift here on time!...

I brought my 4 year old daughter with me today and Justin surprised her with a pack of pokemon cards, some stickers and even a kite. As a parent, I was super thankful for his generosity and inclusion of her in our shopping experience. Its all shes been talking about today! I wish all the best for this game shop and their new café venture next door! We will...
