Is there a model shop in Dublin?

Hobbes

I'm looking for the following items...

Carpenters Glue
Sandpaper
Gloss Black paint
Hand Drill, Electric Drill or dremmel type motor tool.
X-acto hobby saw
common or spray starch
Dark brown paint or stain
X-acto type hobby knife
small hammer
1mm drill bit
pin vice (?)
wax paper
half round wood file
fruit wood stain
paper glue
dark walnut stain
scrap card stock (?)
2mm drill bit
flat wood file
set of needle files
coping saw
1/8 drill bit

I am guessing I can get all in a model shop. Question is, is there one in Dublin? If so where?

Thanks... you couldn't narrow it down a little to say even the general area?

Just a few places where you can get (and I get) these things pretty cheap :-)

Carpenters Glue - Or it's sometimes called P.V.A. Glue. You'll find this in pretty much every DIY store which is the best place to buy it. Or actually try easons or Art & Hobbies in Jervis centre.

Sandpaper - DIY Shop

Gloss Black paint - Matt spray is easy to get but gloss is a little harder. A lot of car parts shops will have it for sure but it's a bit on the dear side.

Hand Drill, Electric Drill or dremmel type motor tool. - Either go to Argos or A shop called Maplin electronics(sp) round the corner from Bamba toyshop on the corner of Henry St/Mary St.

X-acto hobby saw - not sure what kind of saw this is got a pic?

common or spray starch - Art & Hobbies shop or easons.

Dark brown paint or stain - Both any DIY store

X-acto type hobby knife - Newsagents, Art shop, Easons

small hammer - Easons,DIY(maybe)

1mm drill bit - Maplin Electronics

pin vice - It's a small hand held drill that grips a drill bit like a craft knife would. Games Workshop do the best ones I've used but again it costs (bout 8-10yoyos)

wax paper - Art & Hobbies shop or easons
half round wood file - DIY shop or Marks Models or The model shop(Capel ST.) Art & Hobbies shop or easons.

fruit wood stain - mmmm DIY store?

paper glue - Pritstick or P.V.A. glue

dark walnut stain - DIY store

scrap card stock(?) - whats this used for?

2mm drill bit - DIY store although they're hard to get. Maplin electronics do them to as well as both model shops.

flat wood file - Model shop, Art & Hobbies shop

set of needle files - Model Shop, Maplin electronics,

coping saw - DIY shop

1/8 drill bit - DIY shop

any Q's post away........
