They plan to start selling of the store's inventory Feb. 4. and to close late March.
They have tried to find a buyer, but no takers

I was there Sunday and they had a lot of stuff still left. The far aisle by the windows on 68th was bare; I think that was display cases or something. Does anyone know if they're doing a "% off sale" or just let the liquidator deal with it? I didn't see any signs or notices of the closing. I did pick up a 1/700 Wisconsin though!

I was just down there and picked up some paint and got a really good deal on a 1/32 P-38.

I just got back from Greenfield Hobby. No real sales yet, I was told Feb. 4 they start the liquidation sales. It didn't stop me from picking up Tamiya's Japanese Type90 & Trumpy's Aerosan & some Humbrol paints. You know that you can't leave a HS empty handed!
Man, was the parking lot & store packed !
A good weekend all !

Just an update on Greenfield. I was there last Ssturday and things were clearing out. There were still some kits, I was after paint mostly, but the discount at the time was 10% I believe.

Welcome Eric ! You have stumbled on to a great site ! Lots of helpful, knowledgeable people here. I'm outta Milwaukee not too far from UWM. I'm into armor mostly.
A heads up, Mad City Modelers is having their annual show March 7 in Cottage Grove. There should be other Armorama Members there too. Hope to see you there !

I have many (couple dozen) WW2 tank models, 1/35th scale, to sell. My mom is moving and I have them in her basement and no where to go with them. Built them back when I was teenager. Big collection, don't want them going into the trash.

I've uploaded some examples. PM me if you have any interest. I'm in the Milwaukee area.

Also some aircraft.
