New Galleries

Note: This Box to Battlefield is sold out.
The next session will begin in February of 2017, when the subject will be a Tamiya Panzer III. Sign up for the waiting list.

Dave Browne will be holding his Box to Battlefield Seminar series again so sign up as soon as you can. In 6 sessions over 12 weeks you will paint and weather your kit to completion. The first session is Sunday, November 6 at 9:00am. Come by to register and pick up your kit because you will need to bring your assembled and glued kit to the first session. Get gluing and don't put it off for the last moment. ;)

This Box to Battlefield is sponsored by Tamiya and we will be working on the Panther Type G Late Version kit.

New Galleries

Hornet Hobbies is putting up a series of galleries to share the work of our friends on display in the store. These galleries feature models finished and weathered by Hornet Hobbies' customers and friends. We hope that you draw some inspiration and motivation from these works of art, and above all enjoy them. Please come by in person if you want a closer look. We are fortunate to have works on display from prominent modellers like Mike Rinaldi.

We will be posting new galleries every couple of weeks and we know you will see that our local modellers hold their own with the industry giants. We strongly believe that the talent pool is growing in Southern Ontario because our modelling community keeps learning and sharing their skills with each other.

A great big thank you goes to Joe Behar for taking these fantastic photographs.

Please check out the first gallery, which showcases five impressive Tamiya 1/35 scale kits.
