Huddersfield, model kits & supplies stockists

[JamesPerrin]

With the sad demise of Something Wicked This Way Comes, I thought I should mention that I recently checked out the only other source of kits in Huddersfield that I know of. This is Toyland on the Piazza, they only carry Airfix but have a very good range from Starter Sets all the way up to SuperKits and even a few 1/35 tanks. Annoyingly though they only have half racks of Humbrol paints both Acrylics and Enamels which means you'll have to go elsewhere any numbers greater than Hu110 (IIRC).

There are a couple of gaming (board/card/RPG etc) shops/venues in town, I'll scout them out when the opportunity arises as I've not had any reason to venture in before now.

So last week I checked out a couple of non-LMSs for model supplies.

First up is a small comic books shop in town called Ka-pow Comics https://www.facebook.com/kapowcomics/

- plenty of Warhammer kits but only a very small selection of Citadel paints and brushes but no glue I could see!

Next is the excellent Calder Art Supplies https://www.calderartsupplies.co.uk/ in the lovely Byram Arcade. This is a very well stocked art shop with some useful modelling supplies if no kits:
- small selection of Humbrol enamels
- craft knives and blades and handles
- poly cement, Humbrol, Revell, no Tamiya but they do have EMA Weld which I decided to try
- plastic card, including some large sheets
- K&S brass sheet and tubing
- some basic scenic scatter and stuff
