cruiz Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Hello If you have the time, go to the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston, it's full of 1/1 models (bring a camera and extra battery) Sorry, just found out they moved to a new location in Houston but will not open until September.

viper730 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) JSC is one ...If you have enough time go down to Corpus Christi To see the USS Lexington. I think it's about 3-4 hours away . Also go see the USS Texas. I know in the area they have a hobby shop or 3 so thats a must..... And if you like baseball you gotta go check out the Astros....

Slartibartfast Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 JSC/space Center Houston. They have the shuttle simulator on the 747 and an almost complete Saturn V stack. Houston is BIG. Where will you be staying? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willow45 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Looking to go to Johnson Space Center myself as well. Have fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 They had one hobby shop when I was there a few years ago, nothing to write home about. However, the space center and Galveston were fun and the food scene is fantastic. Maybe see if the Astros are playing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 There was one just down the road from Nasa on Nasa Parkway called Odyssey Hobbies but I believe it's closed down in the past year or so. I believe G & G is still down in the medical district by Rice but I remember it being pretty small. Not a lot of shops that know of. Nasa is a must though.

Wolfgun33 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 We have two hobby stores here. G&G in Rice Village but like niart17 said, it's really small and deals in mostly second hand kits. The only other one is Hobby Town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
