I'm going to Dublin in June on holiday.
As I'm stuck here in Saudi without any decent model shops, going to Dublin will be an opportunity for a case of "Model Shop Feeding Frenzy".
Could anyone please advise me of any good ones worth visiting....
It would be much appreciated.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Thanks in advance
Peter

hello flitzer.there are a couple of good model shops that i know of in Dublin (I'm a student here.)
Mark's Models is just around te corner from trinity college dublin.No doubt you will see trinity as it is a big tourist attraction.The model shop is down a side street next to the SCREEN cinema.Everybody knows where the cinema is so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
There is another great model shop at the top of o connell's street.it is just at the beginning of Northy Great Fredericks street and whilst a little bit more difficult to find is weel worth the visit as they have some more obscure kits than most.
the toymaster off the Jervis street shopping centre has a good selection of models but is rather limited in the amount of accesories that it has.
Hope this has been of some help.Let me know if you need anymore info.
Me

Was gonna the mention the one by Trinity College as I wandered past that last time I was in Dublin. Good job noodels got there first though as all I could remember was that it was between the Liffey and Trinity College and possibly near the rail/tram bridge. I could only look through the window as it was late at night and thus shut and I was vewy, vewy dwunk at the time.
Hic!
