For 55 years, Modelbouwcenter Baillien has been a well-established name in Antwerp in the field of model building and RC models. It started with a small shop specializing in trains on Pothoekstraat. Later, the business expanded to the adjacent property for the emerging model building market. In 1971, we moved to Turnhoutsebaan 219 in Borgerhout, a larger property. In September 1989, Ronny and Ingrid founded the current business, Modelbouwcenter Baillien, at Turnhoutsebaan 340 in Borgerhout. In 2011, the store was expanded and revamped for the last time. Today, son Bart and partner Jennifer are also working in the store.
Model building centre Baillien is a "toy shop" for grown-ups. But also young builders can start here to be creative. You can walk around for hours and browse through the large selection. Young and old can come here for plastic models, rc models, wood, tools, boats, planes, helicopters and cars.
For many years, there has also been a webshop where a large part of our range can be found and which is still growing every day.
Here you can take a look and then come to us or place an order.
You can also easily park in our parking area next to the shop. The barrier opens automatically when you drive up, and afterwards we give you a token to get off again.
We try to keep up with the latest models and accessories for you every day.
If there is anything you cannot find or if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone or e-mail.
