hobby and craft: the hobby and craft kits are all from well-known and respected companies that put together specially priced kits just for qvc customers. there'll be tons of reasonably priced kits for scrapbooking, stamping, clothes painting, and home do-it-yourself projects like stenciling and window treatments. also, donna dewberry from pbs will be on with some of her one-stroke painting kits. there will be tons of other kinds of specialty kits for other crafts, too.
hobby and craft: all the people that call in rave about the prices of the kits. they usually say that if they bought the same things at a hobby and craft store, they would be paying much, much more. sometimes 2 or 3 times as much. also, the crafts seem incredibly simple, easy and fun to do.
hobby and craft: as for the smaller tools, well, sure. no doubt there are hobby and craft stores in europe. i could come up with a home-grown replacement for virtually any of the smaller tools sold by stewart-macdonald by shopping around in such hobby and craft stores, and hardware stores.
hobby and craft: hobby lobby is also changing... and not for the better. they're starting to take out a lot of crafting aisles and replacing it with shlocky, cheaply made, overpriced knick knacks. i go to a hobby and craft store to buy items to make crafts, not to buy the craft already made. hl used to have a lot of iron-ons for t-shirts, stained glass making supplies, etc. yes, they have increased the scrapbooking aisles (michaels is beating them though right now).
hobby and craft: you may well have to measure out the real part and scale it down, although an awful lot of small detail parts can almost be done by eyeball, if for no better reason than effect. for example, a common spark plug lead on a real engine may be 3/8" in diameter, which when scaled down to 1:25 would be only .015". a lot of modelers see that as somehow looking a bit too fine, as do i, so i generally size up wiring a bit, say .020". i generally use common beading wire from craft stores, such as hobby lobby or michael's, put it in place (i prefer drilling out my own distributor caps), and then painting the plug wires myself. for carburetor linkage, when i get crazy enough to mess with it, nothing beats the pe linkage brackets and bell-cranks from detail master and model car garage, same with plug wire looms.
