If this pilot scheme is successful we could potentially open ‘Model & Hobby departments’ in all our 41 stores.
Our aim is to make Hobby & Craft gaming products more accessible in the High Street for enthusiasts old and new and to encourage the younger generation to start a new fun and exciting Hobby!

That's quite a range they're stocking there.

Nottingham's store has been listed as a stockist for a few months.
Nice to see more of the Boyes group joining in.

My local Boyes stocks Vallejo paints, brushes and such which I was very surprised to see actually.

Never heard of the shop or most of the "towns" listed.

Strikes me as a trap designed to part poor Northerners from their precious coal and whippets.

Be careful out there kids.

I heard about this a few days ago over on Warseer, so I popped into the York store for a look see.

I was failrly impressed - not an absolutely massive amount of stuff, but a good range of makes - certainly enough to get the juices flowing.

I also noticed they stocked WD as well.

Good range og Vallejo paints as well - Game/Model/Air colour sets on discount & a good range of single pots (Game/Model/Air) from £1.50 - £1.75. My only gripe is that the Vallejo paints were a fair way from the model section, and it was only by luck that I saw them.

All in all very impressed - I will certainly be going again, as it's nice to be able to get stuff over the counter that otherwise would be in the realms of internet shopping.
