Lets get Hinckley modeling

There are plastic kits, model scenery, and collectables in the new high street shop.

A new model and hobby store is opening on Hinckley's Castle Street on Monday.

The shop, called MCC, wants to bring hobbies back onto the high street and shoppers will be able to find products for all ages and abilities

Inside there are plastic kits, model scenery, educational toys, model trains and collectables.

Project Manager Jon Gibbs said “During the pandemic, we have seen a huge surge in interest for modelling products, with people revisiting past hobbies and having more time to spare. The aim of the store is to get people to put down their screens and create something amazing using the products on offer and expert advice on hand.

"This is a store for all members of the family to enjoy, with products for all ages and abilities. Within the store, there is a fantastic range of materials to support school projects and encourage creativity. We have a great team here who can’t wait to welcome visitors”.

MCC Store is a subsidiary of Bachmann Europe, a local company who have been manufacturing and distributing high-quality model and hobby products for over 30 years.
