Dedicated to Serving the Model Hobby INdustry
The HMA serves its many members in the hobby industry by introducing our products to the general public via social media advertising, print distribution and through the Myhobbyfun.org (Consumer) and the HMA (Trade) website. The HMA also updates its members via email newsletter with interesting industry statistics, Benefit Updates and legislative information when appropriate and necessary. The HMA is the only association dedicated to manufacturers, distributors, importers, publishers and producers and suppliers for model hobby products and related accessories for the hobby industry.
Gael Hobbies was started in 2019 as a family-owned business to support the products we love. We have built many different websites, networks and digital products for our customers and felt it was time to do it for our own company focusing on customer service, fast product access, and products we are passionate about. We look to provide an additional marketplace conduit in support of our partners and allowing the hobby business to grow. We feel it is important to provide local store support in this age of e-commerce and we do our best to highlight those businesses and products. We are based out of Purcellville, VA, which affords us a great shipping base for the products. We have customers worldwide and continue to expand our selections based on our customer’s feedback.
We are proud members of the Hobby Manufacturers Association and we aim to promote the industry by providing the digital marketplace and interactions to help support each other grow.
Our goal is to support those who enjoy building models, flying airplanes, racing cars, and making anything they can to relax (or build for competition). We have built a global network of friends and coworkers who love their hobbies from scale models, RC, electronics, and Making.
Feel free to reach out to us at info@gaelhobbies.com for feedback, ideas or suggestions and we look forward to your continued support.
