Model building

What is model building?

In modeling, you recreate various objects to scale. That means making a miniature replica of a car, boat, plane, store, house, animal or a fictional character from a movie. It is a hobby through which you recreate your favorite objects and vehicles in minute detail via a kit.

It is easy to become a modeler. In fact, not all construction kits require you to use tools and glue. At Speedcube we have a large selection which means we have plenty to choose from for both children and adults.
