This is real-deal shed-dwelling anorak heaven. Model making in general strikes me as an English past time but obviously we Irish are a wee bit partial to model railways ourselves. My Dad is case in point, he loves anything that is scaled down a thousand time whilst retaining a completely anal level of detail. He wants a working radio and movable air vents in his palm sized 1920s Mercedes and this is exactly the type of request that, let alone won’t get you hurled out of Marks Models, but will probably get you a special club card and make you privy to the secret handshake. Marks Models is brilliant and being inside the shop is like rocket fuel for the imagination. With inspiring and desirable replicas of all the most famous engineering masterpieces since humanity learned to move about without using its legs, Marks Models is worth a visit … or two.
