King’s Hobby was founded in 1973 in Austin, Texas to support modeling and promote modeling communities. Since then it has achieved nationwide recognition for its quality products, product knowledge and high level of customer service.

We have the most comprehensive product lines in model railroading and plastic modeling. This does not mean that we stock every product out there, but that we stock quality products, tools and accessories. Our goal is to give our customers what they need to succeed in their hobby.

What We Do:
• promote and support modeling communities
• host free in store clinics and workshops

• support/promote educational projects
