Hi guys,

I'm going to be in Sydney this week for work, and hope to have a few hours off. Of course while i am in town i was thinking of checking out some model shops, any reccomendations?

Cheers

Matt

Hobbyco in the Queen Victoria Building in the center of Sydney , they are a bit limited in mini stock normally but they are the Oxford Diecast import agents so are worth checking . Used to be a big hobby shop opposite Miranda Fair as well but that's going back at least 10 years , no idea if it's still there .

There's Model Cars Too at 152 Clarence Street. (02) 9290 2299. That's where I bought all my models.

The guy there is really obliging. I usually just ring him up, ask him if he has a particular model. If the answer is yes, I give him my credit card number over the phone. Some little time later, as arranged, he's standing out front ready to hand me the model as I cruise past in the car and I don't have the hassle of looking and paying for parking.

Vaggs is still there. Walking distance from Miranda Station.

CNR Kingsway and Kiora Road
Miranda
(02) 9525 5797

On the opposite rd to this shop is a car book shop. The have so many books, on most models of cars. I spent a long time in there one day. I think I counted they had over 25 different books on minis on the shelves.

This is a short walk from the Queen Victoria Building, so you could do all three shops with only 5mins walking.

Thanks guys,

I checked out the Hobbyco store in the queen Vic, and model cars too, as well as the bookshop.

Got a couple of new boxed corgi's from Hobbyco (all less than 18 bucks each!) and one old dinky traveller from Model Cars Too.

So a successful model hunt.

Won't get enough time for the other shop, i'll be leaving at 7pm tomorrow night.
