Hi Calvin, check out Hornet Hobbies.

http://www.hornethobbies.com/

They have a pretty good stock of models, figures, paints, pigments and tools.

regards,
Dave.

Yep, I go to Hornet Hobbies a lot. Also check out Wheels and Wings hobbies. Both have a very large selection of kits although Wheels and Wings has a little more IMO, and Wheels and Wings has a ton of planes and ships as well. No Alpine figures though

NorthStar Hobbies in Mississauga, Wings and Wheels, Hornet Hobbies, there is one that is mostly figures, I think it was called The Sentry Models? Someone can correct me on that one. There was one also out about the 5200 block of Yonge, Keith's Hobby, although I am not sure if it is still there. If you like aircraft, then Aviation World out by the airport.

Do a Google Search for "Toronto Hobby Shops" and there is about 4 pages of them that come up....some of them are mostly train, or mostly RC....but there is a fair amount of others.....seems like more than I actually found when I was up there about 18months ago!
