Hey guys/gals, a brand new hobby shop opened here in Winnipeg about 6 months ago, and has really made a BIG hit with us glue sniffers...!
[b]Hobby Sense [/b]is the name of the biggest, friendliest, and most well stocked hobby shop seen around here in years. Igor the owner is a delight to work with on all your modeling needs. He has flat rate shipping, usually ships same day as order placed. He stocks all the top armor and aircraft brands, as well as hundreds of top line figures, ships, cars, trucks, and choppers. He also stocks top of the line puzzles, some having up to 18k pces...!! He stocks all the Vallejo and Tamiya paints/tools/putties and weathering compounds.

Check out his web site, you will NOT be disappointed...!! www.hobbysense.ca

I did order something from this shop once.
https://www.canadianexpressline.com

Unlike there name I found them to definitely less than express like. I think it took like 3 months before they even sent it let alone getting to my door.

I do have these places bookmarked

hey all, I will say it again, you will not find a better stocked, faster shipping, friendlier hobby shop for miles.
HobbySense in Winterpeg IS the place to shop online for Canucks. Trust me, his selection is awesome, and Igor keeps his shelves well stocked...so get over there and BUY something...!!! :thumb1:

Yes I am biased, but who wouldn't be after suffering years without a decent model kit shop...LOL...!
