Gunze Mr color paint thinner in bay area

I was wondering if anyone knew of a place in the bay that sells Mr color thinner.
the hobby shops i checked doesn't have any.
thank for any help. I'm looking to get some asap and wanted to avoid buying online as it would take a while to get here,
thanks again

dunno if you want it right away or willing to wait, but I'm pretty sure some garage kit vendors will be selling that brand at Fanime

Interesting that you found some here, where is D&J Hobby? Mr Color enamels/thinner aren't supposed to be sold/stocked here in the states because they are flammable and toxic. I have to mail order all of mine from either Rainbow 10 in Japan, or Hobbywave in Canada. Even then, Hobbywave will only ship 1 bottle of thinner per package.

What are you working on? I was the North American finalist for the Bandai Action Cup last year, and ended up taking 3rd in Hong Kong.

oh nice they carry those paints there now? I haven't been there in literally a decade since I moved out of the bay. I'll have to pass by there when I head out there for Fanime.

They're near the corner of San Tomas and Cambell, next to the Longs and across the street from wienerschnitzel I think it was. I used to buy all my wh40k minis there.

I love your work so clean. awesome stuff. I can't wait to see the 1/35 scale rx78-2 resin you are building. that must have cost a pretty penny. I've always wanted that kit. but it was so expensive and i'm poor. lol
good stuff

Thanks!

The one I am working on right now is a commission for a guy in Texas. I do have one myself, but have not started it yet. I was thinking of doing both at the same time, but decided against it. One at a time is more then enough work.

Do you have an examples of your work?

Here's a shot of the foot I was working on today:
