The best model shops??

[joshpuffpuff]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering where the best model shops are in London and why you think they are so good? I am looking for a place that sells everything a fig painter would need. GW stores just don\'t hack it!

I\'ve only been to the Orc\'s Nest and they have a good range of miniatures including confrontation. Definitely worth a look. http://www.orcsnest.com/

I would recommend 4D Modelshop. It\'s got virtually every possible modeling material or accessory you\'d ever need.

There are modelzone shops dotted all around the place. Although they don\'t sell miniautes as such, they sell all sorts of basing stuff ( aimed at model railway people). There is also leisure games in finchley.

Hope that helps

speaking of online shops i\'ve only ordered from cmon, reaper and game mart
cmon is pretty good, cheap p&p imho for overseas and many cool and rare items (if they are in stock )
reaper was lots of p&p but it arrived in 2 days from the us to german! unfortunately the castings were really bad
cant say anything about game mart, ordered 2 weeks ago and havent heared anything about it yet :\\
i guess i\'ll check the sites margo and kittykat mentioned, thanks

edit: lol i just checked out the 4d shop and it took me 30 minutes just to browse all the casting stuff
quick question: can you recommend a good clear casting resin for some basing?, chosing from 30 different clear resins just doesnt work for me ,,, and these etched plants are GORGEOUS! ... but incredible expensive, only painters would pay $20 for some 2 mm large leafs
