Class Visits to your school by Professional Modellers...
Teachers:
If you would like to arrange a
class visit from our staff to your school - please call 01 4928776.
There is no charge for these class visits (subject
to reasonable distance limit) - they are designed to promote the hobby
and modelling in a world where "fast-fix" computer games and "pre-made"
TV entertainment damage the children's ability to see just what REAL,
EXCITING, THINGS THEY CAN MAKE THEMSELVES.
Our staff are familiar with the special requirements of showing-teaching
modelling techniques.
A typical session might be two consecutive 3- or 40 minute class
periods.
We bring the full resources of a major model distributor to bear on a
relatively short session, and this provides a good motivational
influence, inspiring the children, and sparking fresh
interest in things that can be made with dexterity, skill, and
knowledge.
