Great place to talk models. VERY well stocked with various kits, and modeling supplies! Glad I found it. Bob Galindo.

This place is super awesome. Very friendly staff and lots of awesome kits for begginers and kits for more experienced builders. I was very surprised to see that they even had lots of other pop culture related items from Star Wars and other tv shows and movies. The have model kits of lots of different vehicles like ww2 planes,tanks and ships and even some kits of newer fighter jets. I highly recommend you visit this place.

A great local business with lots of stuff and experience. Great variety.

Great Model Shop...Eclectic in a wonderful way. Louis and his staff are very helpful. This is (sadly) one of the few great shops left. Hobby People just close ALL their stores. Kids are TOO busy with their heads buried in computer games. To the first comment from Karyn...I think you said your kids (however well behaved) wouldn't break much. MUCH? They shouldn't
break ANYTHING! Perhaps Louis had to make these restrictions sadly from previous experience. Check this place out!

If you like model kits, this place is great. Collectable figures, assembled models, model rockets, and just so much cool stuff.
A REAL small business hobby shop! Where the people are there because they love hobbies as much as you and want to help.
This place is awesome

Recently got back into modeling and needed paint. Happy to find a place nearby. Went in and was a little overwhelmed by not only the sheer size of the place but the the amount of stuff in it. There was sooo much hobby stuff. Old school hobby stuff too. Trains, models, collectables and memorabilia, I mean you name it it's probably there. Was greeted immediately by not just the employee but the owner as well. Grabbed what I needed cuz I knew I would end up there all day, but also was pleased that they cared about helping me out and gave me a quick refresher on airbrushing. Found my new go to for gear which is why I am surprised to read some of the negative reviews here saying that the owner was rude and the place was unwelcoming.

Model kits and hobby stuff everywhere. Nice to see an old time store like this still exists. Even if I hadn't found the kit I bought it was still entertaining just to go in there. The wife of the owner, Natalie, was very nice and helpful.

10000 sq ft of old school hobby shop not many of these types of stores around anymore. Louis Lee and his wife the owners great couple very fun warm and welcoming. I could spend literately hours just pursing all the cool stuff from model kits to sci-fi to cars automobiles plus he has a upstairs reference library with couches for the women to hang out on while their men shop. Highly recommend when visiting the nearby USS Iowa only a few blocks up from the museum.

I knew Lou when he first opened his store back on South Western Ave in Rancho Palos Verdes. Its nice to see that his doors are still open. If you are at all interested in the modeling hobbies you need to visit his store. I loved hanging out there. It wasnt a business for him but something he really enjoyed. I cant wait to get back there and visit his new store! Save some Star Trek models for me Lou!
