If model building skills are to be passed on for future generations then we all need to encourage the youngsters in some small way,not every child has a father gifted in the ability to build models and it is also good to give something back to our hobby,to this end here is an example of what can be done to promote model building,here is a small group that I assist with twice a month,it is the Midland Air Museum Junior model builders club,just look at the faces of these children engrossed with building their models,it says it all,totally engrossed in what they are doing,we can pass on our skills of cutting out parts,building and painting,and above all it can be real fun in the process to share our wonderful hobby with the youngsters.
From crude sometimes over-glued shapes one day will emerge little masterpieces,but remember one thing,always view their work in their eyes and how they see them.
Remember the future of our hobby lies with us,give it a try,you will learn many things yourself along the way,Happy model building !
