Welcome to The Stash!

Welcome to Chicagoland's newest hobby shop! We specialize in plastic models of all types with an unparalleled selection of Gundam and other Gunpla, Pokemon, Anime, Motorsports, and of course all of the traditional types of model kits. We carry full lines of numerous paints and tools and supplies, including Tamiya, Vallejo, AK, Ammo by MiG, Squadron Scale Colors, MCW Finishes, Alclad, DSPIAE, Mr. Hobby, Liang, Godhand, Gaahleri, Iwata, I can keep going for days listing all the awesome products!

Our goal is to be the go-to store for the hobby's best products, ones that you've seen in videos or websites or magazines, but rarely in person. Many tools and some paints can even be tried out in the store, so you can see firsthand why a single-blade nipper is worth every penny, or how to bend photoetch, or which paints brush easily.

Our kit selection is as diverse and extensive as anything you've ever seen. There isn't just a short little aisle for models, it's an 1800sf store that's ALL models and accessories, plus other fun things to build like LEGO, Rolife, some puzzles, craft kits, etc. Products are added daily to our website, and once the doors open, there will be many more in the store.

Come check us out in September 2025! Updates will be posted here and on social media.
