Program
Our Kit Buster Program for this season will focus on Building Structures with Patina / Weathering. One of the morning clinics will focus on a “structure building techniques” which we will then be able to implement/practice on our model kits in the afternoon Kit Busters workshop. Should structures not be your desire this year. No problem! All projects are welcome at our workshop sessions, where you can find fellow modellers with tips and tricks to help you.
