Hobbyists can be a tricky bunch to get gifts for; there's a vast array of different models, paints and games available and sometimes its hard to know what to choose.

So we've put together 7 magnificent gift ideas to make it easier to find something for your dad this Father's Day (September 7th in case you forgot).

1. Star Wars Metal Earth Models
These awesome kits start as 4-inch square steel sheets and once you've popped out the pieces, bent the tabs and slotted them in place you'll have an amazing 3-D Star Wars model.

2. Airfix Model Kits
We have a massive range of scale model kits available but this August we'd recommend that you check out Airfix. One of the household names for scale modelling Airfix have an awesome array of kits available from World War 1 tanks through to modern jets.

This month you can not only save 20% off but you can also win a huge P-51 Mustang kit worth $164.99! Now that's bound to keep your Dad happy!

3. Hobby Tool Sets
Your Dad probably already has quite a range of tools in his man cave but as any true hobbyist knows you can never have too many!

We've got a great range of awesome hobby tool sets available.

4. Airbrush & Compressor Set for just $199.99!

If your dad doesn't already have an airbrush and compressor then this set will make his Father's Day!

First up there is a easy to use and reliable medium pattern double action airbrush which is perfect for learning how to airbrush and using for basecoats and large projects if you upgrade down the track.

It also comes with an AC powered oil-less piston air compressor complete with moisture trap.

Again its a great starting point and features a pressure regulator for better control of paint flow while you're airbrushing.

Even better is we're just secured a special price of $199.99, saving you $140 off the RRP!

5. AK Interactive Weathering FAQ Volume 2

Whether you're new to modelling or an experienced hobbyist the AK Interactive Weathering FAQ Volume 2 belongs in your hobby library! With over 300 pages and more than 1400 gorgeous colour photos its an outstanding showcase of scale modelling.

It is the definitive guide to modelling, covering in detail techniques such as colour modulation, hair spray weathering, rust effects, mud and much more in easy to follow step by step guides.

I'd give this book a 4 thumbs up if I could as its revolutionised my own approach to hobby painting, be it scale models or wargaming miniatures.

6. Modelling Magazines
We also have a great selection of scale modelling magazines which are perfect if you're after a smaller gift or are interested in a particular modelling theme.

Magazines such as Abrams Squad and The Weathering Magazine showcase the talents of some of the best modellers in the world with excellent step by step guides and product recommendations.

7. Nagash Supreme Lord of the Undead
If you're Dad's been collecting Warhammer all these years then chances are he may have the venerable old ‘Big Silly Hat’ metal Nagash model in his collection, which has been long overdue for an upgrade. So what better gift for him this Father's Day than the breathtaking new plastic Nagash Supreme Lord of the Undead.
