Model Shops in West Sussex/Hampshire?

Post by WillHall99 »

Hi guys just wondering if any of you know of any model shops in either of these counties. There's already a great selection online but I always like to support local businesses when I can!

Thanks,

Will

Hi, first post for me here as a recent returnee to the hobby.
I'm the same like to support local stores if I can and been looking for good shops in and around West Sussex.
The few I have found and visited are;
SMC in Worthing godd shop lots of RC but ok selection of models paints tools etc.
Dorking Models really packed shop. Decent selection, park behind it in Waitrose car park which is free for couple of hrs. Only open Thurs,Fri and Sat
Addlestone model centre (bit of a drive from Sussex but close to my office in Chertsey) decent website that is linked to store stock so easy yo check if they have what you are after before the trip.
Train Times in Eastbourne, seemed like good stock, lots of unusual older kits in it was really packed with people (small shop) but it was air show weekend when I went.
I'm planning a trip to CBL in Camberley to get some Hataka paints for a PT17. Heard good things about them although their websites aren't great.
Also tried Horley book and Model shop across the rd from Lidl but mostly trains and greeting cards from what I saw,

Couple I am wanting to visit are Morris models and Airbrush company in lancing and Squires and Bognor Models in Bognor regis (along with a trip to Tangmere).

Southwater cycles is local to me (I'm in Horsham) but looks like it might just be RC.
Also I think Freightdog is in Crawley but it's not really a shop as such but you might be able to collect from them?
