Model Shop on Hornsey Road - RIP

TheMimsy

A real Hornsey Road institution, the Model shop has closed down *sigh*...

It is indeed sad

I always reckoned people got confused by the 'North London Models' sign and expected some kind of Thai massage

Confusing indeed - I always thought it was one of those small and possibly dubious model agencies one hears about from time to time!

<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2">I'd like to say I'm surprised, but he refused to stock any of the models from the main stream games that sold well, and wasn't very pleasant with you if you asked him to ship some in. This was some years ago though, good thing the internet is here to supply them direct to my door now.</font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><br></div>

I recall going in once, noticing he had no Warhammer 40,000 stock, and so rejected him as a heretic and betrayer of The Emperor and never went back.<br>

Arkady, I think that may be my favourite post on here in a very long time.

He did have two lovely cats, and I bought a copy of Titus Groan there.

Having worked in Soho for ten years I too thought it was a knocking shop when I first saw the sign, much to my wife's amusement. <br>
