Who are we?
Modelist is a one-man plastic scale modelling shop, based in Mechelen.
That one man is me, Wim Mahieu. I've been building models since I was 15 years old (that's over 25 years, if you're counting).
I've been literally dreaming about model stores for years, but the opportunity to start my own didn't come until 2022, when the sad news came that Verschooten Modelbouw in Antwerp was closing.
So I started a trajectory that would lead me to today: with the Modelist store open in Mechelen, and the website launched.
I hope to offer modellers in the region (and worldwide) everything they need to practice our great hobby.
If you have any questions, suggestions or requests: shoot me an email at info@modelist.be or use the contact form below.
Happy modelling!
