Twice a year, Maplewood Hobby hosts an auction that offers amazing bargains for aficionados of military miniatures and war games. On Friday nights, the store stays open late to host groups of Battletech and Warhammer gamers. How do I know all this? I have a husband who grew up with these interests, and now he has shared them with our son. It turns out that all I had to do to get my kid excited about family fencing practice was join a club around the corner from the premier gaming store in New Jersey.
Took a basic 60 minute Airbrushing course, well worth the money I spent, teacher was very knowledgeable. In the course he has you handle an airbrush and he explained what you should be looking for and how to correct any mistakes. I would highly recommend taking this course if you're a beginner at Airbrushing.
Come here now and again. He's predominantly a wargame hobby shop which is good if you are into wargames, I was when I was younger, no time at this point. Not much in the way of model kits itself but plenty of wargaming figures and related stuff. Disorganized in some areas but overall a decent visit. Recommend for wargaming items.
Selection’s good in terms of paints and minis and general hobby supplies. It’s a very old school store, with the attendant clutter, but that’s really its charm. I won’t say that the store isn’t friendly, because sometimes I’ll go in and have lovely conversations, but I’ve been more or less ignored. I don’t spend enough time there to say for sure, but it feels like I’m imposing on a boys club that I don’t really know how to get in. It’s fine, and I’m glad it’s there as a convenient place to buy hobby stuff, but the inconsistent vibe knocks a star off.
