This store is really a one-of-a-kind - I've never seen a model kit store until this one, and the…read moreselection is HUGE! Apparently, this store has the largest selection of scale model kits in Virginia. In ALL of Virginia. This. In this Uber-small town of Staunton. I found brands from USA, Japan, China, Italy, and other countries. There's also planes, boats, cars - just about any model kit you can imagine. This is pretty much a model kit store of the dreams - primarily for adults that are into the hobby. Surprised to find this, and found an Italian model kit that isn't even sold online, and at a good value - SOLD!

Hobby Shops. Remember them from your childhood? I sure do. I thought they were gone for good…read more But they aren't! There's one in Rockville that's exactly like you remember it. RC Cars! Toy Trains! Model Kits! And all the other art sets, car tracks, European and Japanese toys and "Stuff." You know how a modern store just has people behind the counter? Hobby Works has staff walking the floor to help you. And they really help. And they know their stuff. And when you're there, it's got that friendly clubhouse atmosphere like you stopped off here while walking home from school in the 6th grade. Sometimes it feels like with online shopping, kids won't ever experience the friendly local stores like we did. Not while Hobby Works is open, it's all modern, but it's a shopping experience that most stores lost over the years- and our kids deserve to experience that friendliness.

Was driving through Strasburg, VA on U.S. 11 - and Strasburg Hobbies caught my eye…read more Stopped in to check out the place. They have several interesting and somewhat unique elements that I've not encountered at other hobby shops: (1) They have constructed a steep rock adorned grade to radio controlled cars and trucks to attempt to navigate; (2) They have a long dedicated drag strip for side-by-side drag strip racing; (3) There is a large oval slot car track in the back for slot car racing. Not sure what the size/gauge cars the track is for. It's clearly for larger than AFC style/size cars. Looked to see what they had in the way of O-gauge train cars. They don't currently stock much of that - but they offered up that they can order stuff, The guy running the place was nice. Cool shop! Check them out! #StrasburgHobbies

Highly recommended for any hobby enthusiasts!!

There's an incredible selection of RC vehicle parts and two RC tracks. Other building kits include Lego & Rokor, and there are also supplies for kites & model rockets. So many toys & gizmos & collectibles. The service was friendly, and it was cool to see folks racing cars in the parking lot, too. I can't recommend this store enough!

Cool little hobby shop in Old Towne Warrenton, VA!\…read more I was looking for some very specific O-gauge model train set related stuff - but at the time - they did not carry a lot of product in that area. In addition to the various hobby shop related wares - there are lots of neat little bits to the store - a miniature old school pinball machine; a little red wooden wagon mounted on the wall; upstairs on a door - a sign that painted with the words: "The Speakeasy," harkening back to an earlier time when a previous business conducted wine tastings and such upstairs at this location. All the staff members I met and interacted with were helpful and very nice! #WarrentonHobbyShoppe
