hotrod4ever Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi! I'm travelling to Nashville and Atlanta this Saturday for a week. Can anyone recommend any hobby shops in the general area. I'm willing to drive a bit. I don't get a chance to buy stuff from the US very often. (from Canada,eh!) Thanks for any advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 In Nashville there are none, but right outside of Nashville in a town called Murfreesboro there is a decent HobbyTown USA. https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=hobbytown+usa+murfreesboro&fb=1&gl=us&hq=hobbytown+usa&hnear=0x8863f80e5b170141:0x850cb92ad6b577f6,Murfreesboro,+TN&cid=0,0,338752621363316982&ei=DjMUUfTFLqHi0gHmjoC4CQ&sqi=2&ved=0CIoBEPwSMAA As far as I know Atlanta doesn't have any hobby shops for models, but some wheres outside of Atlanta in a place called Kennesaw there is a HUGE HobbyTown USA. https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=hobbytown+usa+murfreesboro&fb=1&gl=us&hq=hobbytown+usa&hnear=0x8863f80e5b170141:0x850cb92ad6b577f6,Murfreesboro,+TN&cid=0,0,338752621363316982&ei=DjMUUfTFLqHi0gHmjoC4CQ&sqi=2&ved=0CIoBEPwSMAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) There's also a Hobby Lobby within 100 yards of the Kennesaw Hobbytown mentioned above. The Kennesaw locations are a few miles north of the Atlanta city area, just off of I-75 and I-575, very easy to find. There is also a Michael's in the same area.

camaroman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 JMTCW... but I think that the HobbyTown @ Duluth is the better of all of them although it is not the largest. Very friendly staff and fairly well stocked for a small store! Wish you could have visited back in the day when Auto Motif was in business! Now that was a Great Shop! and for what its worth there is a small shop in Blue Ridge Ga that is pretty good. Sorry I cant remember the name of it right now!

flynstyrn Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Was gonna recommend Auto-Motif. Didn't know they closed. Great little shop,wide selection of 1/43 kits and lotsa rare reference books.Miss that place!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod4ever Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try them out. Too bad about Automotif...it sounds perfect...unfortunately hobby shops seem to be a dying breed everywhere. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
