  1. Where in Victoria are you? Can you get to Melbourne?

    The three main hobby shops in Melbourne (Hearn's, Victorian Hobby Center and Hobby Place) all carry a good range of cars, but not really accessories and parts. I get most of my kits from eBay since I moved to the country, and anything exotic I buy online.

    Try Frontlinehobbies (www.frontlinehobbies.com.au) and HobbyCo (www.hobbyco.com.au) both are Australian online stores, both from NSW.

    I also like a place called 'Bongo's Basement' www.bongosbasement.com.au.

    Ill give then sites a look thanks.

  7. Im Australian. Help!,

    Is Australia not into cars anymore? there is nowhere (besides Ebay) To find model cars/parts/dioramas/eccessories.

    I buy my set From A Toys "R" Us. And Even Then they only stock 4-5 cars that people are intrested in, the rest are subarus/mazdas..... Not Good. So i take what what they have.

    Does Any1 no australian online store, or in Vic??? or even a site that sells to australia...

    Cheers.
