Model Shops in Phnom Penh

Post by CBEQ »

Hello,

I've been living in PP for over a year now. An old hobby of mine about 10 years ago was building models in my spare time. Does anyone know of any model shops in PP? Specifically any that might have Star Trek models?

If there are none here, I think my best option would be to order online.


Thank you in advance.

I saw some models years ago when Lucky Soriya was not being permanently remodelled.

I think the shop has moved.

If you find some in the Airfix-vein, please let us know.

I'm a model builder from way back, myself.

I remember a store that looked promising based on what they had in the shop windows. It was on the street that runs parallel to Monivong behind Lucky Lucky.

I never went in and that was years ago. But now I think I have the impetus to do a recon. Will report back if I find anything juicy.

There is a small model shop at the end of the alleycat alley. I've only seen it from the outside, so I'm not sure if they sell anything but train or artist modeling supplies, but it could be a paint supplier or a lead for models . Aliexpress has a lot but look to be pre-built ones. Live long and prosper.

I think you can buy models at Darling Darling in Naga World.

I think those ones are for rent only.
