Model shops in Dorset
Staying in a farm cottage in September ,having never been to Dorset . Would welcome any details of shops near Dorchester/Weymouth area. Not really into tanks but wondering what the Tank Museum is like at Bovington also ?

Re: Model shops in Dorset
In Dorchester there is a good Art Shop in the High Street near the town centre that has a very good range of kits.
Frank Herring & Sons
27 High West Street
Dorchester
Dorset
DT1 1UP
In Weymouth you have
Howleys Toymaster
5 Frederick Place
Weymouth
Dorset
DT4 8HQ
Go to the left hand shop (they have three shops in a row) go right to the back of the shop and on the right you will find a very good range of kits.
Have fun regards

Splash,
A belated thank you,I had given up on anyone answering. First time in Dorset for me . Intend visiting Poole Harbour to see where the flying boats landed. Found lots of info off the web (it is a great tool if used correctly).Staying close to the old airfield RAF Warmwell now quarry. Intend to visit Clouds Hill,Tank Museum also.

Re: Model shops in Dorset
A bit late to this thread so you've probably been by now. A few years ago we stayed at the Camping and Caravan Club site near Warmwell. T E Lawrence is buried in a local churchyard too.T-21 wrote:Splash,
