History Classroom quick built Figure Kits - Back to School this Week

[neill]

About ready to head back to teaching High School History this week. I was given a couple of 1/16 Figure Kits and built them for classroom display. 3D History and Art Stimulators for my students . . .

2 MiniArt 1/16 Spartan Hoplite Historic Figure Kit - one slightly modified to represent a non Spartan

Dragon’s 1/16 13th MOUNTAIN TROOP 'HANDSCHAR' - (snow is sweet N low)

Ever wondered what to do with those excess Figures, Models, or Dioramas collecting dust and driving your spouse crazy? Consider donating them to your local High School History Teachers. They are often looking for display material for their classrooms. I have sculptures, a 1/25 Siege Tower, WWI & WWII Tank models, 1/48 & 1/32 Airplanes, 1/35 Vietnam Tunnel Rat Diorama, a No Mans Land Diorama, Monograms old Swift Boat, Cannons & Gatling Guns and others that I switch out throughout the school year . . . Helps stimulates their minds and have had a few young modelers start and some others restart their modeling.

Just a thought!

Wish my history teachers had done this.

An excellent idea! Visuals and thought are much better than cold text! I remember my final, History paper! 'Bolckow & Vaughan', and the founding of the steel works in the North East'. Gripping stuff

Nice one.

Good idea
Reminder : shields were made of carved wood, only the triming was a thin sheet of metal

The kids at my school are used to me and my technician (also a modeller!) making model bits and pieces during lunchtimes, etc. We have a reputation for it!!

Sad, but true. Life is so boring these days.

He was some kinda crazy... but his classes were more than interesting.
He was also prone to tackling students that ran in the halls outside his class... Just timed it so as to step out the door, drop the shoulder... BANG!!! then step back in the class and continue the lecture.

You never ran in the Arts Dept hall

Might come as a shock to the owner of this then

You are correct, I checked my sources . Often the shield was completely covered with a sheet of bronze( perhaps copper a the begining )
