Went in to look for a gift for my son and got many recommendations on different models from snaps to more difficult ones needing glue and paint. I ended up going with a skill 2 model because my son likes the challenge. Highly recommend this shop. Owners and staff are super friendly and didn't mind me bringing my dog in the store either. Thanks again.

Thanks for coming in. We are always willing to help. If your son has any trouble building, have him call us and we'll try to walk him through over the phone. :) Take care.
