I found this online store in Sofia who deliver throughout Bulgaria, the only problem is the website is all in Bulgarian so you have to Google translate if your Bulgarian is as weak as mine.

Following that the only hurdle appears when you come to purchase and register, this must all be done in Bulgarian Cyrillic. I use firefox so it's 2 tabs open and a lot of copy pasting.

The best is they do COD so the chance of getting scammed is virtually nil.

They cover many items for arts and crafts and modelling. Plus many other things, sometimes the google translate is a little off but generally not so bad.

The site is store.bg I just search in google and translate.

I intend to make an order in the next few days and I'll update on the outcome.

Thank you it looks interesting will have a good look later here is the link if anyone is interested.

Today I have ordered some modelling supplies at about 12:00, I will report back when they arrive (COD of course)

I really enjoy building the Artesania boat models, so might give them a look.

Everything ordered was delivered at 09:00 Friday morning, less than 24 hours, pretty good from Sofia to here.

Thanks....it's been a few years since I purchased my last one, but the prices seem to be about the same as back then.

Meant to ask you earlier...what sort of modelling are you into? As I said before, I enjoy building wooden ships (last one was a 1.4 metre long model of the J.S. Elcano) and also scale model aircraft.

Great winter projects.

I have just started getting into model ship building the one major hurdle here in BG is sourcing materials, I also enjoy building scale aircraft my favorite being old biplanes from the early days. I would love to find plans for the Wright bros. very first Kitty Hawk, it would prove an interesting project

Cool!...I've enjoyed the hobby since I was about 10yo when I was given a basic glider (balsa wood kit) wingspan about a metre.
I went on to construct many other types and variations over the years...Curtiss 'Jenny'... old bi plane being one of my favourites and as mentioned above, the JS Elcano sailing ship. Sadly, Artesania seem to have dropped the larger model for a much smaller version, so I might have a go at the 'Cutty Sark' this time.

As far as getting decent modelling supplies is concerned, have you tried Hobbyland? They have a very nice shop here in Plovdiv so I might drop in again and see what they have to offer.
