Title: Visit
Post by: galway on June 19, 2011, 10:15:56 PM
I will be visiting England shortly for family holiday, I'm looking for help and advice on good model shops that I could visit. I will be in Birmingham/Solihull for a few days and then Weston-Super-Mare/Burnham-on-sea for the rest of trip.

Now I can get away with one Joker card I can use with the missus "I know of a good shop I'm going to visit etc", but, anymore shops must be whilst driving and just 'passing' "oh look a model shop I'll just have a quick look" if you get my drift.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Take a look at the UK Model Shops Directory.

Thanks for the replies will definitely be able to pop into the ones in Weston and Taunton, one or two on the link in West Mids look good prospects if sat nav plays up.
