Title: Kids are painting
Post by: Brian on March 26, 2014, 05:39:50 AM
Last night at the Junior scale model club had a few of the kids painting flats, Bisto kids from Western Miniatures was chosen but the paint and brushes supplied where not suitable for the job, airfix pots and brushes for painting tanks and aircraft but they enjoyed and asked loads of questions, Killed the two brushes I took with me  ;D ;D

Brilliant.  What a great, fun way to get youngsters interested in the hobby.  I have three boys, all in their twenties and I introduced them to flats and they think they are the best sort of figurine there is.  We visited Kulmbach in 2007 when they were all still teenagers, and it was the best thing I could have done. 

Eric is right, the future of this hobby is in our hands.
