FINALLY!!! Finally got to check this place out today as i was incredibly hungover on the official…read moreopening day :( . First impressions, I am glad to see the owner has taken the same enthusiasm they had from a previous employment at a model shop nearby which is no longer. Anyway, as usual i was met with bright cheerful faces welcoming me into the shop. The shop has not long opened so yes the stock seemed limited and a few shelves seemed more empty than others but hey, the guy has just opened. Now yes, I may seem biased with this review having met the owner previously. However, as mentioned earlier this person has a lot of knowledge and enthusiam to part of every customer and would even have offered me a coffee while i was browsing!!!!!!.....except he had ran out of milk.....boooo! I did get offered a lollipop though but had to decline :( The building itself still has that new paint smell and is all clean and tidy. A variety of kits are in stock but I am assured this will get bigger. I always find a kit I want ( as I WANT THEM ALL!!).....ahem, I didn't find the paticular kits I wanted today but as mentioned I found A kit i wanted. So this place is shaping up to be pretty awesome and I plan on doing the bulk of my modelling shop from here. Prices do seem competitive and yes you will probably find the kit cheaper online but it's a local business I want to see remain for times to come!

I was in the area looking for an unusual gift for a kid who was into making models…read more This is quite a new shop to the area and always nice to see something different than the usual predictable shops that seem to be piping up everywhere. A small shop this may be but it doesn't take a lot of space to show selection of kits that could be made up either by a beginner or experienced Madeleine maker. Prices range from £10 to just over £100 there are a few models on display of items that have been made up by an experienced model builder. This shop is different & well worth a visit for that unusual gift.

Menkind. It's a shop for men. Clearly if you're female there would be nothing in here to interest…read moreyou, right? Wrong. Stupid name aside, I really liked this store and found at least 283 things I'd like to own. And I'm not even a man. I popped in for a look and found a cool wee stand thing for a mobile phone which I thought would come in handy at home. It's like a lounge chair for your phone essentially, but I was worried my iPhone 6 plus wouldn't fit on it, seeing as it's closer in size to a tablet than a phone. The shop assistant was happy to help me out and get the stand out of the packet and set it up for me so I could make sure I was happy with it. She had great banter and was really helpful (the stand was a little fiddly to work out, and she didn't seem to think I was being a pain for asking to check the size). For a mere £4.99 I took my stand home and have it nicely perched on my desk now. There is a downside which is that it doesn't fit with the charger plugged in but that's no biggie. Aside from that, this shop sells loads of stuff that could fit into the "novelty gift" genre - spuddy couch potato cushions which are kind of hideous but also hilarious (see photos), a wide range of nerdesque books, make your own cider kits, etc. There's lots of wee gadgets, robots and toys - things that anyone of the slightly nerdy persuasion might like. So aside from the name, I'd definitely return here when present-hunting in future.

The guys inside are enthusiastic about their hobbies which include model railways and scaled buildings. I find the doll's houses with the miniature furniture a bit creepy and perplexing, but there must be people out there who are into it. They also sell model planes and cars in all their intricate parts along with glue, paints and DIY intstructions. None of this is really up my street, but I can understand the attraction to creating something detailed and impressive from scratch. It's all quite expensive, but you're paying the quality and the realism of the products. I doubt I'll be back here, but if you're into this stuff then it'll be a great place to meet like-minded people.

I then went again more recently to find a model of my boyfriend's 1984 Mercedes 200 123. Which they didn't have, but it gave me the opportunity to browse the range of tiny little models that opened my eyes to a world of craftsmanship I didn't even know existed. Trains, cars, boats, planes, all perfectly scaled down. Wonderful. They do have an online shop, but where's the fun of that? The internet certainly doesn't take me back to my childhood, but tiny figurines do, also falling out of trees takes me back but that's nothing to do with anything.

Probably one of the most extensive collections of paper based role playing game books I've ever…read moreseen. It's not something I've ever tried personally, so what the hell am I writing a review for? Because of this: I overheard the owner, who I'd imagine was in his fifties, chatting with a young teenager, clearly a regular at the store. The kid was busy telling the shopkeeper all about how he had finally collected all of the Pokemon. For those of you not familiar with the blockbuster hand held game from Nintendo, in Pokemon you assume the role of a trainer in a virtual world. You explore, you level up, and you catch Pokemon. Despite the slogan, very, very few people catch them all. The kid continued to enthuse. He was now one of the best Pokemon trainers in the world, he had beaten the Elite Four! The owner, as far as I could tell, had absolutely no idea what this kid was talking about. More so, the kid had a really terrible stutter, so this conversation took a long, long time. But the owner never stopped listening. He didn't pretend to be busy, he didn't look down his nose. He just listened intently, constantly offering congratulations and amazement at the kid's achievement. I think this is maybe one of the only places in the whole of the city centre that kid would have been treated like that. Honestly, I don't know that I would have been so patient. So kudos to that guy.
