MODEL MAKING FROM HOME
Due to the Coronavirus we had to close our Lab. However on this page we will collect information that will help you to build your models at home.
In the following Accordion you will find information about where to source material from with a list of suppliers which are allowing online ordering and home delivery as well as information about making processes and inspirational videos and tutorials to help you to adapt to the current situation.
For any questions you wish to address to our Lab Staff please use the comment box at the bottom of the page. The discussion will be visible to all logged in users so that everybody can benefit. We will try to answer any questions as soon as we can.
