Can’t say one bad thing about this place. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for just ask, id they don’t have it they’ll get it. Plus they offer discounts and advice is free. The staff is awesome and make you feel comfortable. You just want to look at every little nook and cranny for all the amazing things you just might find for your next project. I know I was amazed at all I found. But it’s definitely a see to believe place. So check it out!

I only buy warhammer stuff, paints, and tools from here but I absolutley love this place. ModelCave focuses mainly on model kits compared to tabletop games but it doesnt matter because they order it for me and it arrives within 2 weeks with 20% off. The guy that runs the place Jim is totally cool and willing to help you out if you have any question. The place is also very cozy with the building stacked with model kits. Sometimes they also have a dog walking around the store.

I’m less of a modeller and more of a tabletop wargamer, so I was really excited to find out that Model Cave had started carrying GW wargame minis. John has proven to be a remarkably knowledgeable guy and has taught me a lot in the past year or two I’ve been going there. If ModelCave had more of a wargaming selection, I would have no reason to go elsewhere.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. First off, John — the owner — is one of the most knowledgeable modelers out there. No matter what model, be it armor, cars, planes, ships, gundams, superheroes you’re looking for he’s got it. If he doesn’t have it, he can easily order it for you (John even helped find me a particularly hard to get submarine model). That’s one of the best things — prices. Whatever you buy, is 20% off the sticker on the item — unless it’s already on sale. Usually these prices are the same or very close to Amazon or eBay. For your next project give a look at this place and be amazed.

I just love this place! They have a wonderful selection of all kinds of plastic models, paint, tools, and other accessories. The owners are very friendly and helpful. A great place to buy a gift certificate for that special Dad or child!

I had no idea that this place existed. The guy who works there is really nice. I mentioned that I was just in to look through his paint selection and he showed me around. They have a lot of really great stuff. Very reasonably priced, too. The price and the location will keep me away from buying paints online and having to wait forever to get them.

Model Cave is an interesting store which has anything you may need to support a model building hobby. The folks who work here are extremely friendly and have a no pressure sales approach. If you’re looking for something which they don’t have, they can order it for you. This is definitely a store worth checking out.
