Martinnfb Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 You are right Peter, good times for modelling for sure. My question is, where is the next generation of young modellers ? Hopefully Harvey will surprise us with a wide selection of builds, at the junior level, in his Vegas topic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Unfortunately the world continues to change when it comes to hobbies and for younger people they first spent all their time on the PC playing games and now, if you can't play it or do it on your smart phone, they aren't interested. Plus add in social media and hobbies that require time working at a bench or table, learning new skills will be gone when we are.

ColonelKrypton Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 There are a lot of young men and women getting into model building, it is just not what you and I think of model building. Gunpla ( Gundam Plastic ) Warhammer, and similar are attracting many new modelers. Have a look around outside of your typical interest area and you might be surprised. The hobby isn't dying or dead, it is just changing cheers, Graham 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new generation is very different from ours. They always use their smartphones and PCs but play physical games at a young age, such as cricket, football, and golf club clone, which are better for physical health as well as the brain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
