[@michaelcooke2559]

Great haul. It’s great that your children are involved in the hobby. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Thank you. They are both excited to build 👍

[@michaelcooke2559]

@@ScaleSpeedworks That is great.

[@VinceWeston]

Looks like everyone has a fun time at HL. Always a great day when you come home with Kits! 😁

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Yes sir! Especially at 40% off. I like to support my LHS, but HL makes it real difficult to do that sometimes. Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@jonnysuperglide]

Vince you got that right even vintage model kits from model shows are awesome been building since the 70s got hundreds of kits and I still feel like a kid when I bring home a new one it’s added to the collection and there is always a place for more model kits built busted up for parts in bags or boxes or for customs or brand new there all a fun part of the hobby growing up our life’s was nothing but model cars and Atari 2600 stompers gijoe transformers he-man dukes of hazard was king and Nylint golden eagle express silver knight 18wheelers the fall guy and the A team god bless buddy

[@davidchin350]

Nice HL trip Mike, that bulldozer looks big and detailed, have fun building.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Should be fun. It’s on the “I’ll get around to it eventually” list for now 👍

[@wolfmanjohn2823]

i am 61 years old and this at 4:13 was my 1st model build ever. I still have this dusty beast in a box somewhere :)

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Hahahahaha! That’s awesome! I appreciate you stopping by 👍

[@jaredbmodels]

Awesome haul buddy!! It’s great your getting the kids building!! Model On my friend ✌️

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Thank you 👍 They’re very much interested, more videos to come!

[@6TEESRULE]

Your kids picked out some awesome kits Mike! That dozer is gonna be a nice project. Great to spend time with your family and enjoying the hobby. Dan

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Many thanks Dan! They are looking forward to their builds and it’s an excellent way for us to connect and spend time together. 👍

[@58raceguy]

Sure looks like the Hobby Lobby in Dublin, CA. My wife and I were there yesterday. I almost picked up the bulldozer but ended up with a couple others. Very cool that you have your son and daughter doing this with you!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Sure is Dublin, CA!! I’m in San Ramon. My daughter is WAY more interested in the car and truck kits than my son. She has a car build, possibly two upcoming, my son only seems to like the Bandai Star Wars Kits. Thanks for stopping by! 👍

[@58raceguy]

Even if their interests are different genres, it’s just great that you can work on projects with them. That’s priceless time spent with them. I’m now in my mid-60s and my daughter, who is now in her late 30’s, built a few snap kits when she was 10-12. I wasn’t successful at getting her to stay with it but she still likes to hear about what I’m building.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Cool 😎 VW Beetle kit too!!.. I'll have to try one of those Airfix kit sometime!!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

The airfix build up super easy. I’m going to have my kids build them on camera on 2x speed. They are well designed kits.

[@bobrivett7645]

Your hobby lobby where ever its, has a much nicer selection than the one here in Reno Nevada, i was just in the store on 3/8/24, it had the 40% off sale, had the plastic kit selection, hobby paint, tools, etc. Is pathic. Maybe it was picked clean, or maybe the demand is low here. Anyway hope you all enjoy your builds. Model on...

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Many thanks! San Francisco Bay Area. This store closed down and re-located. They drastically shrunk the hobby section. Still a decent amount of kits, but nothing to brag about. 40% off is great if you find something you like. I appreciate you stopping by, thanks 👍

[@esuwarriormodelshop6369]

Love going to hobby lobby. Can’t wait to see these builds

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Hard to pass up 40% off. Also difficult to be a mode shop competing with that. The builds will be coming soon. Thanks for stopping by! 👍

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Congrats on the 500 subs! Its awesome you and your family will enjoy building those kits together!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Thank you. More videos soon 😉

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Looks just like the hobby lobby by me, cut and paste.. lol. That bulldozer...Whoooo!! I know I don't have the patience for that build, looking forward to your build!!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

I think that’s their recipe. It works 👍

[@scalestuff1066]

Looks like an awesome store, wish there where more like that over in the uk we only have two stores of that size over here in the whole country, sadly both of them are 30mins apart drive wise and 3 hours from me!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Hobby Lobby is not the end-all be-all of hobby stores. It’s conveniently close for a lot of us here in the US, but their selection and variety leaves a lot to be desired. Best of luck in the UK!

[@JethrosGarage-op4bo]

Nice stash adds, it’s hard to pass up 40% off, great kits, looking forward to seeing the kids build their cars!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

My thoughts exactly! Perfect time to bring the kids as well 👍

[@paulsmodels]

HL has decent prices but their model kit selection is limited. They do not carry Tamiya kits, Hasagawa, ICM etc, mostly older Revell kits, and the same old Ban Dau kits. Whenever I go into their store they have the same kits as before. They do sell the Evergreen products, and some weathering items as well. There is a Hobby Town store in town that has a better selection.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

You are exactly right. Although my HL recently stocked the new AMT Bronco and Charger and has had a few new Revell kits, but the selection is limited. It’s always nice to have a choice of stores to shop at. Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@glenngailey4916]

The HL in WestCovina CA carry Tamiya kits. I picked up the Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog Light tank.

[@bobrivett7645]

There was a tamiya M41, tank on the shelf in his video. But I do agree with you about HL limited kit selection.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Cool, you will like the Bulldozer!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

It’s going to be a project for sure!

Wish ours even had sales like that

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Hobby Lobby has a 40% off sale on model kits every other week. The selection is limited, but the sale is hard to beat. Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Cool 😎 Star Wars kit too!!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

And thank you again!

[@jhodges3131]

very cool

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Thank you 👍

[@johnmartinez1438]

Cool segment, I have a question. I'm looking for leftover parts from other builders. I used to have a box of all kinds of different leftover pieces, somehow it was thrown out in trash or at least that's what they thought. It's cool that you involve yourself with your children 👍

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Thanks 👍 Most of us save extra parts from our builds. The best way to get extra parts is to buy 2 or 3 in 1 kits. If you’re looking for something specific, I’m sure you can ask around or look online. Best of luck 👍

[@428garage]

Very Nice

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Thank you and thanks for stopping by! 👍

[@BlueFox284]

Hobby Lobby used to be great when they were opening up in Central CA. Decent kit selection like more Tamiya kits. Even brand new ones from time to time. Other than the Bandai Star Wars kits, most of their model selection kinda sucks. 😔 Don't get me wrong, there's always some kits that grab my attention, but their age don't justify the price. Still waaaaay better than Micheal's tho. They should just give it up.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

You’re absolutely spot on! Just remember, Hobby Lobby isn’t a hobby store, it’s a craft store that sells models. I still try and do my best to support my Local Hobby Shop.

[@onixfieroandscalemodelworks]

I just picked up a few more from hobby lobby. They really do all look the same...lol... nice to see the kids getting into the hobby. I picked up the tie fighters from Bandai in the small scale. We should do a light side and dark side buddy build...lol

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Thanks. A buddy build sounds cool, but I’ll have to run it by the kids first 😆 I’ll reach out you soon.

[@clementevaldez1271]

In my experience with hobby lobby is the price of kits....they offer a 40% off the prices but the kits are already highly priced and by the time you get to pay it's the same price of kits at other stores like hobby town and Michaels crafts....so there is really no savings....

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

They offer 40% off MSRP prices. It’s hard to find any other hobby store offering those kind of discounts on model kits. However, their selection is limited, so unless you want to build what they have, you’re headed to your local hobby store or online. It’s only worth it if they have what you want. Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@tomsimpson5317]

Used to love going there

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Yeah, they seem to focus less and less on model kits every day 🤷‍♂️

[@JIMMYSCHOPSHOP123]

Man I just picked up a couple kits from Hobby Lobby to can't beat the 40% off deal

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

I know! I like supporting my LHS, but 40% off is hard to beat! 👍

[@modelmantstewart1292]

I have belt that bulldozer kit by AMT it is a lot of fun the tracks are very nice and my hobby lobby looks just like yours

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

The dozer seems like a project and half, it’s on the “one of these days I’ll get around to it” list 🤣 Thanks for stopping by!

[@dalemettee1147]

As a new follower to the hobby, I'm searching for certain model cars. Cars that either I've had in the past or cars that my family has had. Do you have a catalogue?

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Great question. For new kits, check out the manufacturers sites, such as Revell US or Round 2 or your local hobby store. For older kits I suggest online auction sites or local thrift stores. Welcome! Good luck, and have fun!

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

Is that from this week??? I didn't see the 40% off in this weeks flyer??? Nice stash adds. I'll be watching

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

We were there on Wednesday or Thursday last week.

Nice buddy love the slammer on shelf stocker and black nova is on my list 2 in one kit same as the boss 302 I wanted to grab another 1 them after I built my other one some cool picks there as nd few great adds

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Many thanks Keith! 👍

[@tevinhoward4419]

I never been to hobby lobby before but maybe this time I will👍

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

They are no replacement for a hobby shop, but if you like their selection, it’s hard to beat 40% off every-other week. Best of luck!

[@billbatross6856]

Our Hobby Lobby in Zanesville, Ohio hardly has any good models in stock! I contacted H. L., about their plastic model inventory, or lack there of! They responded by stating, that they look at their inventory annually and that if there are any requests, then contact them!?! But, since they only restock their models annually, it will take up to a year, before you would see, if your request was taken seriously! But I digress, I just wish that the H. L. store in Zanesville, Ohio, had a better selection of plastic models, like they used to! Like Star Trek, or construction models or even monster & horror models! Not just cars & trucks!

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

My HL in Dublin, Ca has drastically reduced the size of their model inventory. It went from 2 shelves down to 1 and now it looks like they are not stocking new kits at all. Almost all BanDai is gone and the selection of cars/trucks is minimal at best. To make matter worse my local hobby shop is closing. Let’s hope a new owner steps in 🤞 Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@charlie418791]

That bulldozer kit's not bad.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Hard to beat for the price. I’m really surprised it was still on the shelf at 40% off.

[@caseymurphy244]

Just opened one here in Missoula. Kinda a joke. Didn't even have half that many model's. And no 40% off.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

I hear you. There model selection has really dwindled lately. They should have 40% off every-other week, so check back, especially if they have a kit you’re interested in. Best of luck 👍

Hit the like button if your local hobby lobby shelves looks almost EXACTLY like this.

How much to ship to Australia please

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

I have no idea

[@robertnussberger6449]

H.l. never seems to have many revell kits and the amt kits seem to be the ones no one wants

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Agreed. Their selection is nothing to brag about. But, if you’re interested in one of the kits they have, the 40% off deal is unbeatable. Support your LHS! 👍

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I usually try to hit Hobby Lobby when they have 40 percent off on their kits...

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

That’s about the only time I’m there as well. Their selection doesn’t change much, which is good and bad, but I imagine it’s hard for LHS to compete with HL prices. Not my first choice, but they are close and it’s hard to beat 40% off!

[@patrickgarski4063]

Where’s NASA & Star Trek model kits ???? I been go to Hobby lobby store in Rib Mountain near Wausau , Wisconsin couple of times but I brought couple of model kits of NASA , Star Trek and some hobby tools but not enough hobby tools there . I going to hobby lobby store again on January 13 2024 , buy artist paint wood standing . I’ll start buy artist supplies and white paint picture as any sizes . I’m skilled artist as experienced , I promise my late mother and closest sister pleaded me became artist , start oil painting picture on artist wood paint stand . My mother passed away as know me will back paint pictures after I refused touch paint brush or color pencils & markers for years since graduated from high school in 1976 after school principal and school board members , Superintendent of state private school for hearing impaired students , they destroyed my dream career comic book artist after college for art because I earned A+ straight all time in jr high school and grade schools before join in state private school for hearing impaired in 1973 , I see class schedule but not art class not included in my class schedule then I was angry protested and file complained to school principal about it . But principal told me about art class not including for high school students but homemaker class , I don’t believe artist career as comic book artist . I was outraged as angry then file complained to Superintendent at his office after stormed out from school to office but superintendent turned me down without reason then I showed middle finger toward superintendent after principal’s office . I walked out from office then back to school , arrived late to class and explained it to my classmates and teacher about it after torn class schedule up then asked my classmate for his class schedule for copy at library . My classmates & teachers found out about I’m highly skilled artist as experienced already but I can outclassed art teachers , I used pencil then draw cartoons on white paper then give it to art teachers at art class. Two art teachers shocked as told me “ you’re professional artist as experienced . I blew my chance go to College for Art as required more A+ straight grades at art class before college for art accept me as student of College for art became comic book artist after graduation from college for art . My dream career destroyed till I’m older man as retired, listened pleading from late mother before passed away then closest sister told me take damn brush or color pencil ! I’m hobbyist as building models for years but my models destroyed due moved place to place for years , first wife destroyed em then I filed divorce till second wife are wonderful but pleading me back to artist as grab brush or color pencil after my sister told my second wife . I had drive my truck to cities and towns , go to hobby stores for buy model kits and hobby tools plus air brush with electric powered motor air pump , I’ll learn use air brush . My anger gone after years since graduated from high school in 1976 , worked job to job till last job as bike mechanic till retirement last year after 15 years 4 months . I had many careers as my knowledge but lousy pay and limited benefits and health insurance coverage . New hobby lobby store will be grand opening next year in Stevens Point , Wisconsin while live in village of Plover , saved gas but I hope lots of model kits and art supplies , many more but my second wife love making art crafts but I has knowledge of art crafts , helping my wife make em .

Same 25 models year after years

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

🤣 No!!!! That’s not true!! That one’s new, right there, that ONE!! 🤣 We shouldn’t expect anything different from a CRAFT Store! That’s all they are, we’re lucky they carry any models in the first place! I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by 👍

[@garypic4083]

​@@ScaleSpeedworks I always find something to buy at the HOBBY LOBBY. Just wish the get some different models

[@michaelwayne2995]

They have a lousy selection of model airplanes ✈️ usually old reboxed Monogram kits sold by Revell and hardly any paints and other modeling supplies

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

I try and support my local hobby shop as much as possible. Hobby Lobby really has a limited selection, but they are hard to beat on price alone. Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@agoogleuser992]

Their models need to be 40% off just so it'll be a decent price, way overpriced models

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

I agree, unfortunately they, like many of our local hobby shops, sell at MSRP. While I won’t hesitate to grab a model at 40% off, their selection is limited and my local hobby shop is usually the better choice. Thanks for stopping by 👍

[@chrisbisho9785]

Sure be nice if they actually carried a new aircraft model instead of the same few kits they've had for years now . Gundam kits seem to have taken over that area . Lot's of car kits but not everyone builds cars . Pretty pathetic actually .

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Hobby Lobby is a craft store first and foremost that happens to carry model kits. We should be thankful they have any kits at all and should instead support our local hobby shops. Thanks for stopping by

[@chrisbisho9785]

Local for me is a 125 mile trip one way . Hobby Lobby could be so much better but they seem to put forth very little effort . @@ScaleSpeedworks

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

125 miles is quite a drive, sorry to hear that. Hobby Lobby has zero interest in model kits. Probably not enough profit, I don’t see them expanding their products anytime soon. Best of luck 🤞

[@daveyjones5702]

if you are not kicking yourself for not picking up more of the star wars stuff, you should be :P bandai is up there with tamiya, imo, and that boba fett model is gonna be hard to find now. u can still get the AT-ST though, and i highly recommend that.

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

It’s funny you say that because I just picked up the Boba Fett and Tantive last week 😆 Bandai quality is definitely on par with Tamiya. Thanks for stopping by 👍
