CRM Hobbies

This store is a classic. Chris and his staff know the inventory and what is available to order. Excellent knowledge of discontinued kits. They carry hard to find paints, models, just about anything you need to finish a project. They also carry a large selection of informative support books and magazines which will help when it comes to advice or being correct historically with a diorama. Great people, great store.

In honor of small business Saturday I think I’ll write my first Unilocal retail review ever. If you like model kit building this is the place to shop, they have an amazing selection of kits from various manufacturers and from different decades; I have been able to find very specific kits that I was looking for here. If they don’t have what you are looking for they can find it for you, the owner is there a lot and is extremely knowledgeable. They have a good cross-​section of genres – military, auto, science fiction, etc. and are always getting new stock.
Oriented towards serious model builders they also carry paints, tools and reference books. If you are a more casual builder and get lost in the overwhelming selection just ask for help and the owner or someone else more familiar with the store will be glad to help, it’s a great place to learn more about the hobby and meet other hobbyists.
I have been coming here for years on an occasional basis and appreciate their one-​of-​a-​kind selection and hobbyist atmosphere.

This kind of store is really hard to come by these days. There are plenty of interesting model kits and books to peruse, as well as paints for your figurines. The cashier was also very friendly.
It’s a bit crowded inside, so claustrophobes beware.
