James Shirey: the prices are very competitive to online stores, the owners are very friendly and very helpful in finding what you need/want definitely my go to store for models

Michael Leonard: The quintessential small business local hobby shop. This shop is clearly a personal business run by people who want to be the go-to place for fellow hobbyists in the area.ModelCave has a GREAT selection and will gladly order what they might not have for you (in my experience). They also have a wide selection of paints and hobby tools from many of the major players, both U.S. and Japanese (and France for Citadel paints).Prices are extremely competitive being the same, or lower, than most websites. And that's not including the beating you take on shipping these days.Please, support your local hobby joint. Give Melissa and Jon a visit.

Stephen Smith: Great staff, good knowledge and fun place to browse.

Nathan Wheeler: Great selection of kits at very reasonable prices. Saw a neat looking Zaku here, and I’ve been hooked on Gundam models ever since.The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful.

Jack Miller: Cool stuff at good prices

A.T. K.: Great selection of Gunpla.

Pete Pete: Ok selection. Masks required.

Rogelia “Roe” Sweeney: Neat little mom and pop owned model store. I was amazed at the variety of models they had for purchase!!! Volkswagon Bugs, The Kitt car, Scooby Doo Van, Fórmula 1 and Nascars to Motorcycle models, Star Trek to Star Wars and even Starskey and Hutch as well as emergency vehicles!!! My hubby was on cloud 9 as he viewed a few nostalgic models from his childhood even. Do Note.....Mask Is Required.

Lin par: The best selection of models and paints around which makes the store amazing. Thats even before the two owners who are just immensely friendly and make you wanna just pop back in regularly to say hi and grab some random paints

Kyle Zill: I cannot recommend this store highly enough. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, the store is always well stocked with a great selection, and the prices are very fair. Definitely the best hobby store in Washtenaw County.

Merlins Muse: One of my fave local businesses.

Jim Hemwall: Stopped by, glad I did. Great selection, prices seemed fair, and they were not grouchy!!! Support your brick and mortar stores, especially independent owned stores! The internet is what it is. But to be able to walk into a hobby store, not a hobby lobby or craft store and enjoy that experience is getting harder and harder to come by. I picked up a 1/48 B25 for under $30 bucks. That beats ebay with shipping, and I had it when I wanted it! :)

M K: The best shop around for model kit-huge selection.

josh snyder: Great shop great owner

Samuel Sabo: The owner is awesome. Super friendly and incredibly helpful. Completely understanding of budgets, so he'll never try to push a sale on you.

Jacob Tropiano: Joshua is friendly and always willing to help. Exactly the kind of service you're looking for in a hobby store. He knowledgeable and excited alongside his patrons as well.

Tyler Schoening: Fun and helpful gaming community, and a very welcoming and knowledgeable store manager.

Steven Schnepp: There are two kinds of GW stores; this is the good kind.The manager, Josh, has a genuine love of the hobby and will enthusiastically mentor newcomers and advise old grognards in building, painting, and list-building. More than once he's stated a desire to make it a center of the hobby community where everyone is welcome and comfortable, and I do believe he's succeeded.The shop's regulars are also a credit to the hobby, with the painters and the players alike being welcoming of newcomers. The painters are happy to show off their own work and gush over yours (or offer tactful advice, if you need it - I've yet to see someone be rude about this), while the players take quite well to polite observation and inquiries about their games (and if you catch them between games, will happily talk tactics with you).Then, of course, there's the true test of any hobby store: What happens when you bring your wife. In the bad kind of stores, you come away with horror stories about poorly-socialized nerds acting unpleasantly - which is why most experienced hobbyists scout ahead before bringing in their better halves. Here? She was greeted just like any other customer and soon got into a discussion about Space Wolf lore. She even had fun.I'll be honest, at this point this place is pretty much the only reason I'm still in the hobby and buying GW product. It represents the best in Games Workshop.

Joshua Mitchell: A very nice store. Even though they had some kind of event going on the owner still greeted us and helped us find what we were looking for

Mike Stram: What can I say, it’s a Warhammer store! It’s got everything you might expect, plus some neat tables to game on. What really makes the place special is the manager. You can really tell that Josh has a passion for the hobby, and they are happy to answer any question, no matter how dumb (trust me, josh walked me through my first ever game of 40K!)

Jon Causer: Incredible store, very knowledgeable and they keep up on everything GW does or changes and is very transparent about it. My favorite store to browse new and different warhammer figures and paints

Brandon Sapp: It's a Warhammer store. You're either already addicted or you want to be.

Kevin Gustin: As always, the operator of the store; Josh, is extremely knowledgeable about all of the products he sells and is more than willing to help all levels of hobbyists with anything they need!

Eric Greene: Going into today I had no idea what Warhammer was. My seven year old has been wanting to go here and has been in once before .Today we came in and picked out a set for her to start on. Josh was super attentive and helpful for us!After we left i got home and messed up the assembly! My daughter was upset so we went back to the store. Josh was amazing and went out of his way to help and absolutely saved the day .Will be back soon!

Christian Brown: Shop manager Josh was super helpful! Gave my wife and I a full tour and even let us build a model! Definitely check this place out.

Carolyn Doss: Cool stuff if you're into this game.

Asa Wheeler: Surprisingly not a lot of figures especially AoS. Good for games

Jordan Morey (JorreytheCounselor): A great store and a great experience. Josh was very kind and helpful, taking me to the paints and explaining the different uses for them. I am very sad that I do not live closer otherwise this would become a regular haunt of mine, but I will absolutely be going back again when I am in the area.

Rosedale Banquets: They Sell JUNK!!! The manager Chris is the worst Manager customer service oriented person that I’ve ever dealt with in life. Beware do not buy nor trust this company. My son purchased a 3-D printer immediately out of the box It did not work!! They refused to put him in touch with someone that would resolve the issue. They continued to give my 12-year-old the runaround now that I have inquired as a parent, they are telling me to deal with the manufacturer. The item did not work out the box. Shame on you for bamboozling a child with a non working 3-D printer. We called Amazon and replaced the part. BUYERS BEWARE - NO CUSTOMER SERVICE Exists here!

Ms Lavender: In the past I had visited them with my scouts. And for things that the scout troops needed I'm glad they are still in the community they are really a pillar. But this time I went into see if I could take some hot wheel collectibles for them to buy. They are the nicest most honest place I've been to in a very very long time. Usually if I were to pawn something I would stay but I left my things there for a couple of hours I trusted them. They are good people from the beginning of answering the phone until the transaction was made. I've worked with other places that were rude on the phone or short in person like they're doing me a favor . But this place was exactly where I was led to go they are amazing and anybody should go there to purchase any goods there. I thought that such places did not exist but obviously they still do I'm glad they are in our community. If I could give them 10 Stars I would! Awesome

Rohit P: Amazing people and always a pleasure to work with. The people working here are always ready to answer all your questions and if they can’t then they would definitely point you in the right direction. A very well kept hobby store with a very enthusiastic bunch of people!
