Modelmaking explained: what it is, how to start and why it's so addictive

Some hobbies just pass the time. Modelmaking is one of those that teaches you something every time you sit down at the workbench.

In this introductory video from OcCre Academy we show you what modelmaking is, how to start from scratch and why so many people get hooked on this hobby for life.

What you'll see in the video

  • What modelmaking actually is
  • Why it's so addictive: what happens when you build with your own hands
  • Full unboxing of an OcCre kit, step by step
  • A tour of our showroom
