Why Visit?

Dual Base stands out from a typical Gunpla retailer because the visit can become part of the hobby itself. Browse for a kit, ask about the assembly space, and spend time building in-store instead of taking everything home immediately.

• Gunpla-focused hobby shop near Hongdae
• In-store model-building and assembly space
• Timed build-space use promoted by the shop
• Beginner-friendly support may be available
• Selected Warhammer products alongside Gunpla

Best For

• Beginner Gunpla builders
• Visitors who want to build in-store
• Solo hobby time during a Hongdae visit
• Gunpla collectors exploring Mapo
• Model-kit fans interested in selected Warhammer products

Tiny Build Desk recommendation: One of the better Seoul stops for visitors who want a Gunpla experience, not only a quick retail browse.

Planning to Build at Dual Base?

The build space is the reason to choose Dual Base over a standard Gunpla stop. Ask staff about the current setup before purchasing a kit specifically for an in-store session.

1. Choose or Bring a Kit Pick a kit that suits your experience level and the time you have available.

2. Ask Whether Tables Are Available Confirm that the assembly space is open and that there is a seat before you begin.

3. Confirm Time Limits and Conditions Ask about the current time limit, any build-space fee, and rules for using the table.

4. Check Tools Ask whether nippers, sanding tools, or other essentials are provided, or whether you need to bring your own.

5. Let Staff Know It Is Your First Build Ask for a beginner-friendly kit suggestion and simple help if you are new to Gunpla.

Build-space conditions can change.
Confirm seating, timed use, tools, fees, and current rules before travelling specifically for an in-store build session.

Best Visit Plan

• Quick browse: Allow 20–30 minutes for Gunpla and hobby shopping.
• Build visit: Contact the shop first and allow at least 60–90 minutes.
• First Gunpla: Ask staff for a kit that matches your available time and comfort level.
• Hongdae day: Pair the shop with nearby cafés, shopping, or a wider Mapo hobby route.

Also Worth Checking: Selected Warhammer Products

Gunpla and the build space are the main reasons to visit. Warhammer is a useful secondary bonus, but confirm current selection before making a special trip for a particular miniature, faction, paint, or release.

• Selected Warhammer miniatures and hobby products
• Possible paints, accessories, factions, and restocks
• Ask staff about current availability
• Not a guaranteed full-line Warhammer destination
