About

Launched in September 2022 by Peter and Jasmine, Parker Hobbies is a family owned and operated hobby supply webstore based in Hamilton, New Zealand.

As New Zealand hobbyists, occasionally over the years if we wanted the more obscure hobby brands, we have needed to shop internationally. This was a big driving force for starting Parker Hobbies, to increase the range of high-end hobby products readily available here in New Zealand.

Additionally we are aiming to get involved with and support the local miniature painting and tabletop gaming community by providing locally derived content in the form of interviews, reporting, and events.

In terms of products we are stocking what we consider to be the best hobby paint ranges from the likes of Scale75, Kimera Kolors, Badger Stynylrez and Vallejo; high quality hand-made brushes from Winsor and Newton; Airbrushing equipment from the USA-made Badger Airbrush Co; Terrain supplies from The Army painter; and the Star Wars Legion range from Atomic Mass Games – because we believe everyone needs an Imperial AT-ST in their lives!
