Hobby Shops in Madison, WI?

[cogitator56]

I'll be traveling to Madison, Wisconsin later this month and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good hobby shop or two in the area. Thanks.

but one good tip, when you get there, get a phone book and look in the yellow pages, thats the best way to find a hobby shop.

Don't be a jerk, I am sure he was looking for more info than just a Hobby Shop, like which ones in the area have a good selection of kits and aftremarket stuff. The phone book lists all kinds of crap under Hobbies.
Is that you in the picture with the CareBear? How Sweet

[supratuner]

yes, i love my carebare very much


tho i wasnt trying to be a jerk, ive always found the yellow pages to work good, looking under hobby supply, or hobby some thing, and then if i know, or can find where the place is ill go, or some times i call and ask if they carry tamiya, or what ever.

rx7king: Thanks for the reply, sounds promising. I'll try and stop by the Hobby Horse while I'm there. Is it near the U of Wisconsin by any chance?

supratuner: Hey, no problem. I know you were trying to help and I appreciate it.

its now that far off, its off of 151 next to Rocky Rocco's Here's the address :

and they have a website www.hobbyhorse.com, as for after market stuff they dont have a ton as far as imports, but you can call ahead and they can order anything from Tamiya, etc...
