'See what our Customers are saying about us'

Way to go! Nice new spot in Winnipeg to shop for model kits and supplies. Good choice, fair prices. Would recommend to visit to any scale modeller in the city. Also a lot of cross stitch kits and puzzles for everyone.

Paul Lebedev

The widest assortment of plastic model kits I've ever come across in Winnipeg, the owner, Mr. Igor, treats customers like family and will listen to your needs and will even order in custom hobby supplies. A great edition to St. Vital and most of all Winnipeg. Prices are better than online! Check him out!

Eric Hogue

Finally a hobby store in the neighbourhood! Tons of selection and more to come. A must see for the hobby enthusiast. Looking to doing more shopping here and online.

Getting Started in Plastic Modeling

Most people have heard about or know someone who's build plastic models, usually it’s someone older like your Grandpa or maybe even your dad, or you’ve seen models in the local museum you visited on a school trip, a weekend out with family, friends, or even online.

What Paint should I use

When I was younger, there were just two kinds or brands of model paint for plastic models. ‘Testors’ in little square glass bottles, and ‘Humbrol’ in little round metal cans, and both of these were enamel. Oh, have times changed!

All about Weathering

One area of modeling that has grown, developed so much, and so far is weathering. When I began plastic modeling, weathering the finished model was an after-thought and only done if the modeler dared risk his ‘perfect’ paint job, or dared to venture into the realm of the ‘grown up modellers, Today, if a plastic or even a realistic wooden model isn’t weathered, it’s usually seen as the modeller didn’t do his job completely.
