Scale modeling is a practical way to explore history and bring it to life. Taking inspiration from a visit to the Andrew Wyeth’s WWIexhibition, students will construct and paint a small military diorama with plastic WWI figures and a variety of modeling materials. Children under 8 should bring an adult partner.

Declan Buchanan is a Camden-Rockport Middle School student and a member of the Southern Maine Scale Modelers. His scale models of WWI and WWII tanks and planes were recently awarded top junior honors at DowneastCon 2019.
