modelling stores in Barcelona?

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

Re: modelling stores in Barcelona?

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.



KitCar43 http://www.kitcar43.com/
THE SHOP in Barcelona. Any scale, diecast or model kit, with some special items.

Speedy Pacheco. Before Christmas was running some kind of special prices because of business re-orientation... I don't know if it's still on hobby business

You aren't joking!!!

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

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

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.
