About Access Models

Welcome to Access Models, a proud family-run business with a rich history dating back to 1979. We took over the business in September 2022 from the previous owner, who remains a valued part of our community and still visits us regularly. While we honour the tradition and passion that built this business, we are committed to bringing it into the modern world, promoting the joys of modelling and hobbies as a positive outlet for mental health and well-being.

At Access Models, we believe in providing exceptional customer service, offering expert advice, and fostering a welcoming environment for hobbyists of all ages and experience levels. Whether you're a seasoned modeller or just getting started, we are here to support you every step of the way!
