Gentlemen,
I have built a few Mini Art buildings in the past couple years, and now I cannot find any online stores that sell them anymore. I have my "go to" sites like Sprue Bros, and Scale Hobbyist, but now the only carry a couple, or none at all. Even Lucky Model only Has 3 or 4. And unfortunately my LHS doesn't carry them.
Any suggestions on a different site to hunt theses things down?
Thanks in advance,
Chris (Ziggy1)

There are a bunch of them on eBay. Also try hobbyterra.com, I've always gotten good service from them.

Lucky Model has tons of MiniArt buildings listed...they just aren't all in stock at the same time. With a 2-3 month restock time you just have to be patient when ordering if it isn't in stock.

MiniArt has a big list of European distributors listed on their site.

Have you tried eBay?

Is there a particular building you are looking for?

Hi Chris,

HobbyEasy has a large stock of Miniart diorama/building kits. See if you can find what you want.

Are you looking for a specific building?

I am an eBay shopper never disappointed by the price or the variety

Here's the MiniArt 2017 Catalog.pdf — just came out this month. I recently contacted MiniArt about ordering direct, but haven't heard back from them yet. HTH.

Ebay or Amazon is good too if you can filter the ridiculous prices. There are quite a few discontinued ones you can still get.

Also Think Hobbies! is an online Canadian store. They have a few and the Canuck rate is pretty good for you guys. They have two sections: Buildings and dioramas so be sure to check both. Their shipping is pretty fair.
