Our Story

Welcome to Access Models! Our story began 44 years ago right here in Newark, and what a journey it's been. From the very start, we've been at the heart of the modelling community, facing ups and downs together – from global pandemics to economic challenges. But, thanks to our amazing customers, from locals to friends far away, we've not just survived; we've thrived.

A big turning point came in September 2022 when we welcomed new ownership. Imagine passing a cherished model kit to a fellow enthusiast – that's how it felt. Our new leader? A lifelong modeller whose journey with Access Models started over four decades ago, right from his first model kit. With fresh energy and big dreams, we embarked on an exciting new chapter.

Here at Access Models, we're all about family. Being a family-run business, we pour our hearts and souls into everything we do, from the products we stock to the service we provide. Our love for modelling is a family affair, and we believe in its power to bring people together, spark creativity, and offer a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

We've embraced the digital world with a shiny new website to make sure you can find us anytime, anywhere. Our store? It's been spruced up and moved to keep things fresh and exciting, always keeping you, our modelling family, in mind. More than anything, we're on a mission to spread the joy of modelling. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, we want to light up that passion for creativity in everyone.

Modelling is more than just a hobby; it's a way to chill out, focus, and find joy in creating something incredible with your own hands. It's amazing for your mental well-being, giving you a chance to escape into a world of creativity and detail.

So, come and join our journey. As we continue to grow and evolve, we're excited to celebrate the past, present, and future of modelling with you. At Access Models, we're not just a shop; we're a community, a family passionate about sharing the fun, the challenges, and the countless benefits of modelling with you all.
