maltsr Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I will be visiting Vancouver over the Christmas period to see family - are there any hobby shops that I should visit? I would also like to catch up with any local modellers if possible. Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparfarmer Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Only modeler I know from Vancouver or B.C. is Shannon Dumalo(sp) You can also take in a hockey game with the Canucks. Enjoy your trip at Christmas time and be prepared to see rain and no sun. At least you don't have to shovel rain............LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maltsr Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thanks guys I already googled it and the first selection was Grand Prix Hobbies which came up as closed in September, so I thought I would ask on the forum. Thanks 69mopar, Magic Box isn't far from where I'll be staying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob McKee Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hi Paul, I live in the Vancouver area. There are a few more shops that I would recommend. Burnaby Hobbies is a great shop with a good selection of Model Cars and tools. Imperial Hobbies in Richmond has a very large selection of Model Cars. Here is the real gem though. Cameo Hobbies in Maple Ridge has a massive stock of pre-owned kits and new kits. If you are looking for a kit that has been out of production you may just find it here. When are you coming? If it works out I would be happy to meet for a coffee and take you on a little Hobby Shop tour. Gee, I may have to pick up a kit or two as well.
