Apponaug Color & Hobby Shop

★★★★★

“Best hobby shop I’ve been to in awhile. I will definitely make the drive from Boston to come here more often. Tons of Tamiya kits and friendly staff.”

“I've recently gotten into modeling and came across this shop while vacationing in RI. They've got a really nice selection of armor models, paints and tools. This past fall I was speaking with the owner if he was familiar with the Tamiya glue bottle holders(They actually work for all the Tamiya square bottles)? He got his Tamiya catalogue, found what I was speaking about, and had them when I got back over Christmas, for less than $4 each. No other shop has done that for me, a customer half a continent away. They also had a bunch of Tamiya tools that continue to be out of stock with the MUCH larger hobby supply warehouse stores. They will ship and, I would assume, be willing to order in tools and paints for you assuming that they can sell them in their store. Great little shop and great people behind the counter.”

“Unique place! I wasn’t sure what I was walking into... Thought maybe they’d have scrapbooking stuff… not that kinda hobby place 😆 guess the train sign should’ve clued me in… but Now I think maybe I should get into building models 👀🤩 and it’s a plus that my baby rly enjoyed the big impressive train set 🚂 I’ll come back when my kid is older, maybe she’ll enjoy building these type of things, looks like it could be really fun!”

“It’s always amazing to go to a shop where the owner is obviously a lover of the craft and expert in what the trade. Lots of additional kits and models beyond trains so be sure to check it out for children’s gifts and support local!”
