That is indeed what this short post will be about ! They have a program of activities that are community oriented .The co-ordinator asked me about it . When I told her I build models , She asked if this was something that could be taught in a short ( read four to six weeks ) program .
I assured her it could . Then she asked about the inherent difficulties involved in building a model . I told her that is what " Snap - Kits " are for.
Each person could pick out a Car , Tank , Plane or so on and a basic paint set .The primary job would be neat assembly and nice paint work .
I assured her it might be a good idea . What do you all think ? Keeping it simple and have fun or – . Your input would be appreciated . Tanker - Builder
Sounds like a great idea to me as well. Teach a skill that can be used for physical and mental therapy and have fun to boot. Can’t see a down side except some spilled paint and glue fumes!
However! I wish this were in jest but I’m dead serious.
You would need some type of fume removal system, non toxic “green” glue/paint, and non allergenic neoprene type gloves. Don’t even think about not having an MSDS folder with info about all the chemicals to be used.
Also, everyone would get a trophy, even if they don’t complete the course. Each trophy would be identical with wording claiming the receipient was the best in the entire universe.
Failure to provide these services could place you and your organization to possible criminal and civil penalities.
Here’s the way the intro goes ." Welcome to the Class . There will be absulutely no glue wars or paint drinking on my watch , Got that ! " Then the warnings and then , "Okay lets see those gloves and aprons . " Oh , And no playing darts with your craft knives ! "
