Similar tags
- shop=toys - A toy shop. A shop focussed on selling children's toys. Model shops are often quite serious and adult targeted, and would find it insulting to be classified as a toy shop. Some model shops may have a lot of remote control cars and helicopters which are quite affordable "low-end" products often sold as children's toys. So there's overlap, but if a shop is full of such things and goes up to high end expensive adult "toys" then shop=model is a better more specific tag.
- shop=craft - An arts and crafts supply store. Commonly sold items are paper, canvas, paint, pencils, crafting wood, crafting tools, etc.
