Goblin Box stocks historical model kits with settings ranging from the Roman era up to WW2. They also stock tools and paints needed to get started with the hobby, and will be proud local stockists of Warlord Games.
However, the store isn’t just going to be a retail space, it will also provide a ‘Hobby Bar’ where customers can build and paint models and a gaming table.
Ben owner of the store said:
“Neath Indoor Market provides a great opportunity for smaller or more niche businesses to operate, I can’t wait to bring something different to the market and town. So with model and miniature wargaming being a passion of mine, I am excited to be opening Goblin Box and during the time I have been getting the stall ready the other traders in Neath Indoor Market have been so supportive and welcoming, I would encourage any start-ups to consider a stall.”
On Fridays, Ben also runs a weekly hobby club in the nearby Gathering Place on Queen Street. Ben added: “While wargaming and scale modelling can be a lesser known hobby, there is a surprisingly large community in the Neath area, I wanted to provide a space for those involved in it to take part in their hobby locally”
Scale modelling saw a major rise during lockdown, and its popularity hasn’t waned since, it has also been found to have a positive effect on the mental health of participants, especially when practised in a social environment.
Goblin Box is set to open at 10am on Friday 20th September, and there is a launch party scheduled to kick off this exciting new venture with a bang, which will continue on Saturday 21st!
