Ramcharger Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I noticed Google didn't narrow that down to the ones worth stopping at, or the ones that have a decent model selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 There's nothing very close to Downtown Detroit.On your way in from Muskegon try stopping at the Model Cave in Ypsilanti(an excellent selection in a small place and the owner is a great guy).If you want to try driving a little further out from Downtown there's Whistle Stop on Harper Avenue in St.Clair Shores,P&D on Groesbeck in Roseville,Prop Shop Hobbies on Van Dyke in Warren(small model selection there),or Great Lakes Hobby on Van Dyke north of 19 Mile Road in Utica.

vincen47 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If you only have time for one, make it Model Cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 One more very, very strong vote for Model Cave. It's been decades since SE Michigan has had a store that caters to model car builders like this one does. TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Morgan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Another shout out for The Model Cave here as well. Great selection of paints, detail items new kits.

Zen Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 MODEL CAVE FOR THE WIN!! Got to stop there Sat. on the way home, well worth it for sure. Got to pick thru a recent collection they got in and came home with 4 older kits. The owners were very nice also, mentioned that you guys told me about it. thanks again all!

ZTony8 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I stopped there Saturday on the way home from the Sylvania,Ohio show(I don't get a chance to get to that area of town often-it's almost an hour from my house) .Took over 90 minutes to finally decide what I wanted to buy because there were so many tempting kits.Finally bought a couple of kits and some paint from Jon and Melissa-Friendly people willing to help you get what you need.
