Wonderland Models is one of the best known model and hobby shops in Edinburgh. Standing out with its big yellow sign on a grey Lothian road, this shop appeals to both children and adults (perhaps still children at heart).

The shop specialises in, you guessed it, models. From toy soldiers to remote controlled cars, the shop has a fairly wide range of stock leaning more towards classical models. It also sells BB and airguns, one of the few places in Edinburgh still to do so. One does get the impression that the shops glory days are past but it manages to sell itself on a niche market.

The staff are knowledgeable about the products and provide a decent service.

There isn’t much room for the casual browser but if models are for you then Wonderland Models is a must.
