hobby shop

Model kit retailer

A hobby shop is a retail store specializing in supplies for recreational pursuits—model kits, remote-control vehicles, miniature trains, craft materials, and similar items.

The term typically excludes general craft stores, suggesting a focus on technical hobbies like model building or tabletop gaming: I found the paint I needed at the local hobby shop.
