Billschneider64 Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 i will be traveling to Fort Worth area, and wonder if there are any local hobby shops worth visiting for plastic kits. Online search didn't turn up much.
torinobradley Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Anyone know if Wild Bills is still there? I try to go by there every time I'm in DFW. Here's there addy:535 E Shady Grove Rd, Irving, TX (972) 438-9224
Monty Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Wild Bill's is about the best hobby shop for car models in DFW. I'd advise you to search Youtube for a video or two about the shop so you're not surprised by the stacks you'll encounter. Be aware that the shelves can be up to three kits deep, and I've seen the top shelves staked six kits high. Years ago, some diligent searching on my part resulted in some nice treasures. No promises, of course, but who knows what you'll find. They have P/E, aftermarket tires and etc, but you need to ask to see them, as they're usually kept in a separate closet. Hope you enjoy yourself.
Billschneider64 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks Monty. I watched the video as you suggested; now I can't wait to get off work tomorrow so I can check the place out. I don't really need more kits, but I try not to let that fact get in the way of a good shopping trip.
oldcarfan Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I was there a few months ago. It is a blast. One of the few old time hobby shops still around.
