I'm from the UK, and Andy,s hobby is the best I've ever seen, I like the fact he shows you the kit before it's made and takes you through the process of making and painting it.

Awesome selection at fair prices with superb customer service! I just received my Das Werk Junker EF-126. Excellent packaging and the hand signed thank you note is a great touch. All the best to you and your business!

Best hobby store in AZ for models and support! Andy is highly knowledgeable about products, techniques, and his YouTube channel is a must for feature reviews and demos! World famous!

Awesome Hobby Shop! Carries all the model kits you can't find anywhere else. My personal favorites are the Star Trek model kits. They have a wide variety from Sci-Fi, Space, Military tank, Aircraft, Blimps, even warscape scenery and of course Gundam models. They carry a wide variety of paints in both spray and glass bottle. Brushes, snips, grips, sand paper. They got it all! Highly recommended this place for all model enthusiasts!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How many of you would like to see separate kits on the interior of the Stug III Aufs G in 1/16 scale? The current kit has limited interior and that keeps cost down.

Does anyone, anybody, have a clue or suggestion as to where I can find a Tramp Steamer/Merchant/Cargo Passenger/Freighter type ship of the WW2 era. Help.

William Pepper | Oct 26, 2020
John Madigan | Oct 26, 2020

Scale? I'd probably say you best bet is printing your own because I've never seen one lately

Hello Andy, Can you inform me how you glue the small parts that you paint separate, to the main model? As both parts have paint on them what type do you use? Best Regards, Mel.

Mel Rutter | Oct 26, 2020
Nathaniel Ewing | Oct 26, 2020

Hi Mel, the best thing to do is to remove paint from the mating surfaces themselves (usually light sanding will do the trick). Once that's done you can either use a dab of CA glue, or Tamiya cement.

Do you have airfix models

Ignacio Chavez | Oct 26, 2020
Roger Siggs | Oct 26, 2020

Andy's has an excellent selection of Airfix and other companies. Coverage of just about anything you want along with the supplies needed to do your builds. Highly recommended

What would the best color(s) to use to paint the inside of a Trumpeter 1/35 scale 308mm artillery piece? The part is slide molded and has nicely detailed rifling so it needs to be done properly.

Paul Dayton | Oct 26, 2020
A G | Oct 26, 2020

I would definitely look up online what a picture of one looks like rolling right off the factory assembly line and do it true to history if I were you.

Do the stock FEP sheets and resin for 3d printers

John Madigan | Oct 26, 2020
Peter Barton | Oct 26, 2020

I don't believe so, however that could change. I say this because I think the store just expanded, and in time Andy may bring in other items. I can't say for certain though since he does focus on stocking kits, PE, paints, and detail up parts.

Is the online shop open?

Hey, what type of sealant do you use after painting but before weathering and adding decals? I tried Testors dullcote. When I added a bit of thinner (like you do in your videos) before the weathering, my paint started to come off. I use Tamiya acryl

Bossier Federal | Oct 27, 2019
Don Frandsen | Oct 27, 2019

If you are using acrylic paint, they make gloss, clear, or flat clear, in both spray and bottle for air brush, tamiya, MIG, AK, many kinds. Some are lacquer based both that should not raise you paint . Gloss coat over before decals use a decal sol and set , then seal with a flat clear

Hey Andy- Great videos. Question: Do you know why the Tamiya Black Panel Liner is so difficult to find? None of my hobby shops in Dallas have it. I've looked everyone online and can't find it.

Hi! Thanks for your many helpful you-tube videos. On a recent build you mentioned a quick and easy way to clean out your airbrush. It was a commercial cleaner, I think. Could you tell me what that is? Thanks

No I haven't

Hi Andy: Love the videos! A quick question about scale, please. When building dioramas mixing planes and tanks, should the same scale be used ? IE: 1/35 plane with 1/35 tank or 1/48 plane with 1/48 tank. Sorry but im a newbe! Thanks!

Bill Pennola | Oct 27, 2018
Gary Sauer | Oct 27, 2019

Yes stick with the same scale

Hi Andy do you have any fruil tracks for 1/35 tiger tank ?

Chris Guadiz | Oct 27, 2018
Mau-En Lee | Oct 27, 2018

I'm not sure Andy monitors this feed but you may want to try to ask him via Facebook. Otherwise, maybe a visit in-person. He doesn't do mail or online orders so if you can't get there in person, it's no use regardless if he has it or not.

Andy do you have an online store For models and Modeling supplies

Robby Hood | Oct 27, 2018
Mau-En Lee | Oct 27, 2018

Unfortunately, he doesn't have an online store anymore.

You mean for gaming or modeling? Modeling Andy can help you out. Gaming I would go to the imperial outpost.
