Thanks my friends @johnb and @eb801!
Yes, the Hobby shops are disappearing in Greece, as well. Compared to their number in, say, 2000, only about 30% of them remain, maybe even less. Mail order might be the "normal" procedure now, but, call me pathetically nostalgic, I so much love to pay visits to hobby shops, telling jokes with the owners, staring at the stacked boxes (I even smell them, but it's my OCD 🙂 ), buying some, paying - always - cash, with a discount, of course! Then leaving, only to remember, a couple of hours later, that I forgot to buy that color shade, well, another opportunity to pay a visit has arised! Just like when we were kids!
