Visiting Poland - Papermodel Shops ?

I'll be in Urstron in Poland for a wedding in a couple of weeks. It's right on the Czech border, not a part of the world I've been to before.

I know we have an international membership here, so I wondered if anyone knew of any papermodel shops/outlets in Urstron or nearby ?

Thanks for any helpful comments

You might want to try Empik Book Store. They have stores in almost everyshopping center all throughout Poland.
I know that they do sell paper models there (mostly military models though).

If I may be so bold to ask, what kind on models are you looking for?

I hope that you have a good time at the wedding and you are able to enjoy your trip to Poland.

@Rhaven ... thanks for the suggestion, I am mostly interested in architectural models. I try to get a model of a significant building in the area I'm visiting. I'm not a big fan of military stuff, I played with the real things for quite long enough in the armed forces.

You can still go into Empik and ask the person that is running the arts and crafts section about such.

You can also try the town visitors center or souvenir shop. They usually have models of buildings that are in that particular town.

Either way, good luck with your search and have a good time on your trip.

Hi hancop. This may help:

Hobby shop in Cieszyn:
Kontakt

Ustron-Cieszyn, about 15km (10 miles?)
Cieszyn do Ustro? - Mapy Google


Nearest EMPIK store is in Jastrzebie Zdroj, about 24km from Ustron:

Cieszyn, - Jastrz?bie-Zdrój, Podhala?ska /102 - trasa dojazdu samochodem i trasa piesza - Zumi.pl

Do not expect too much from EMPIK store. Two, maybe three models from Halinski - it's all what U can get.

A lot of architectural models can be found here:

GPM - modele kartonowe

Im sure U know this site.

@strk - thanks for the links and information - and thanks to all that replied by pm or post. I have been in touch with the people we are staying with in Urtron and they are kindly checking local places (and the info you provided) for me before we arrive

Still can't believe how helpful all are on here - thanks !
