RMweb Premium DavidLong Posted December 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) A question basically as the title. Does anyone know of a stockist of Vallejo paints in Greater Manchester? Unfortunately my local shop in Bolton which stocked them closed down a couple of months ago. Buying paints online is a bit of a pain due to the shipping restrictions and its always good to have a rummage through the available colours.

2mm Andy Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 These people are in Stockport (closest station is Davenport); https://elementgames.co.uk/store-information No experience of them, but they seem to have a decent stock of Vallejo (and other makes of paint).

stewartingram Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 All the branches of Boyes (discount chain) that I have visited have had stocks, do you have any local? Stewart 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DavidLong Posted December 18, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Thanks Andy and Stewart. I had come across Element Games previously but I had forgotten them until you mentioned them. Nearest Boyes seems to be in Royton (Oldham). I must admit that I had always assumed that they hadn't ventured to the frozen North! David Edit re:Boyes. From the map it appears that the Pennines has been the main barrier to turning up in the North West! Edited December 18, 2019 by DavidLong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2mm Andy Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Boyes HQ is in Scarborough - considerably further North than sunny Atherton! They do seem to stick to the right side of the Pennines (as you face North...) with the shops though. Andy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishmail Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi David, I know they are not in Manchester , however I get my Vallejo paints from https://www.hobbymad.ie/ They are based in Cork but ship to UK. No connection with them apart from satisfied customer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
