hey all!
I'm going to visit Ireland next week and I would be happy if some of the Irish guys around here or fellas from other countries who visited Ireland could give me tips about where I could find model shops in Dublin and/or in Dublin's vicinity.
thanks in advance.

Hi Elad. Ireland is not known as a military modelling Mecca, so theres not much Im afraid.
The best known would be PUMA hobby at 1 Church Road, Malahide, Co. Dublin. They have a website, and as far as I know they are mail order only Link to their website .
Also worth checking out maybe are Marks Models in Dublin (lots of stuff there and I think they have a shop in DunLaoighaire too), The Model Shop in Capel St, Dublin .
This information was gathered from the Irish forum. I have not lived in Ireland for over 9 years, and am not from Dublin either. Cant really vouch for any of them.
But dont worry if you canīt find them .. drown your sorrows in a nice pint of the black stuff!

thanks Frank,
I'll lower my expectations.
online shopping is the cheapest way for purchasing models anyway so I guess I'd better put my money where the Guinness pints are at while I'm there.
maybe get me a nice made in Ireland Lowe Alpine 70 litter pack for the money I was putting aside for modelling stuff, always wanted one when I was camping in during highschool.
