hola!

I am here for a couple more days and I was wondering if anyone can recommend any modelling stores worth visiting in Barcelona? Doesn't have to be 1/24 related.

Cheers :)

I will suggest you to go directly to KitCar43. You can spend one hour just looking at the shopwindow... Is quite near to the Sagrada Familia, so maybe you can combine some tourism and hobby.

Apart of it and if you're at the center, you can take a tour from Palau, to Pacheco, Poly and finally Palau del Tren. And if you want to take a short walk, go up the street till MotorPassion.

You can also take a look at Rocafort, but it's a bit separate from the other shops.

There are not too much hobby business here, but I hope you enjoy the shopping.

You aren't joking!!! :eek2:

Fantastic shop and guys. We had such a great time, they convinced me to leave several hundred euros behind! :rofl:

Their limited edition Pegaso Z102-B berlineta Touring was veeeeeeeery tempting also!

Thanks Victor again for your very detailed help. First class on your part :worshippy

:grinno:
Don't worry, I'll build them. I finally got myself some 1/43 kits :)

The store also gave me a whole new perspective on diecasts. Until now, when I heard "diecast" I always imagined those horrible 1/18 Buraggo lumps of metal you see in supermarkets and gas stations. Now, after seeing the beautifully made and detailed replicas of cars they have on sale, I can understand why people would want to collect them. Many of them were simply outstanding little jewels.

It certainly is the most impressive European modelling hobby shop I've seen (pics) to date.
