Every school has an enthusiastic group of children interested in model building. Often they are organized in to a models club. Various terms are used. Normally they are mostly boys. Just about all boys are interesting in building models. Airplanes are favorites, but there are many other options.
Many schools try to accomodate the boys by setting aside a model ot hobby room where the boys can keep keep their equipment and supplies and work on their models. Some times there is room to set model enactments, often of famous battles.
There have been a number of boys who have made good use of the Hobby Room during Activities on Wednesday afternoons and in their free time. Ladlow has made an interesting model of a Church from match-sticks and Castro has tackled a difficult model power boat. Others have been busy with plastic kits of cars, aeroplanes and boats or made lay-outs for various war games. It is a great help if parents are able to supply those boys who wish to use the Hobby Rooms with kits or materials to use, now that these have become expensive for a boy to buy.
MC, The School Record (Beachborough School), September 1979.
Every four weeks we have airfix or drama. I am doing airfix-modelling. I am doing a Vulcan, it has four missles and three bombs. The other people are James, Lidster, James Finch and Barnaby Tinsley. The person who takes us is Muiss Cullen. I had to get the airfix paints, and a big box to carry the pare airfix models and our own boxes in.
