Model building workshops for groups offer diverse options, from aircraft models to architectural projects. You can choose from workshops for different ages and group sizes, ranging from children’s parties to team building activities for adults. Costs depend on group size, materials and duration, but with good planning you can organize a successful workshop that inspires everyone.

What types of model building workshops can you book for groups?

For groups, various model building workshops are available, from simple building sets to complex projects. Aircraft models are popular for beginners, while car and ship models are suitable for all levels. Architectural models work well for older children and adults.

Aircraft models are ideal for groups because they’re relatively quick to build and deliver spectacular results. These workshops usually last 2-3 hours and are suitable for children from 8 years old. You can choose from different difficulty levels, from simple gliders to detailed fighter jets.

Car models offer more variety in complexity. For younger children, simple snap-fit models are available, while teenagers and adults can work on detailed race cars or classic automobiles. These workshops often last 3-4 hours, depending on the chosen model.

Ship models are perfect for longer workshops or multi-day projects. From simple sailboats to impressive cruisers, these models teach patience and precision. They’re suitable for groups who enjoy working together on a larger project.

Architectural models like famous buildings or bridges stimulate creativity and technical insight. These workshops are excellent for team building because they require collaboration and planning. They’re suitable for groups from 12 years old.

How much does a model building workshop cost for a group?

Costs for a group model building workshop vary between €15-50 per person, depending on materials, duration and supervision. Group size significantly influences the price, with larger groups often receiving discounts. Location and workshop duration are other important cost factors.

Material costs form the largest part of your budget. Simple aircraft models cost €8-15 per person, while more complex car or ship models can cost €20-35 per person. Architectural models are often in the higher price range due to detailed components.

Supervision by an experienced workshop leader usually costs €75-150 per session, regardless of group size. This makes workshops more cost-effective per person for larger groups. Some providers charge an hourly rate of €25-40.

Location costs vary greatly. Workshops at your home are often cheaper, while external locations like community centers can cost €50-200 extra. Some workshop providers have their own spaces that are included in the price.

Budget optimization is achieved by planning workshops during weekdays, forming larger groups and choosing simpler models. Always compare what’s exactly included in the price: materials, tools, supervision and any take-home components.

How do you organize a successful model building workshop for your group?

A successful model building workshop starts with choosing the right location and determining an appropriate group size. Material preparation and accommodating different experience levels are important for smooth operation. Plan sufficient time and ensure clear instructions.

Choose a location with adequate table space and good lighting. Each participant needs at least 60×40 cm of workspace. Ensure chairs at the right height and easy access to tools and materials. A quiet environment without distractions works best.

The ideal group size is between 6-12 people per supervisor. Smaller groups receive more personal attention, while larger groups increase energy and interaction. With more than 12 people, you need a second supervisor.

Prepare all materials in advance. Sort components per model, check that all tools work and have instructions ready. Make a checklist to avoid forgetting anything: glue, paints, brushes, sandpaper and cloths for cleanup.

Account for different experience levels by having simpler alternatives available. Experienced builders can add extra details, while beginners focus on the basic structure. Pair experienced participants with beginners for mutual assistance.

Plan breaks to prevent frustration and stimulate social interaction. A 3-hour workshop needs at least one 15-minute break. Provide snacks and drinks to maintain energy levels.

Where can you find the best model building materials for group workshops?

For group workshops, you’ll find the best model building materials at specialized webshops that offer discounts on larger orders. Quality and price must be balanced, with beginner-friendly materials being preferred. Our selection at model building is specially curated for group activities.

Beginner-friendly materials are characterized by clear instructions, pre-sorted components and easy-to-use connections. Snap-fit models without glue are ideal for younger groups, while older participants can work with traditional glue models.

We offer various advantages for group orders. With workshop orders, you automatically receive discounts on multiple copies of the same model. This makes organizing group workshops much more affordable without compromising on quality.

Our discount policy also applies to the newest model building products in our range. This means you always have access to the most recent and popular models for your workshop, even with group discounts.

For workshop organizers, we offer practical sets that contain everything you need: models, tools, glue and instructions. These complete packages make preparation much easier and ensure you don’t forget anything.

Thanks to our fast delivery, you can also organize last-minute workshops. Order before 11:30 PM and you’ll have your materials the next day. This gives you flexibility when planning spontaneous group activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a model building workshop?

For the best availability and material selection, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. During popular periods like school holidays or weekends, it's wise to plan 4-6 weeks ahead. For urgent orders, we also offer last-minute options, but then the choice of models and time slots is more limited.

What happens if not all participants finish their model during the workshop?

This is completely normal, especially with more complex models. Participants can take their unfinished model home along with the remaining materials and instructions. We always provide tips for completing it at home. For longer workshops, we deliberately plan extra time to prevent this.

Can we adapt the workshop for participants with disabilities?

Absolutely! We're happy to adapt workshops for participants with various disabilities. This might mean choosing larger components, providing extra supervision, or using special tools. Let us know in advance what adaptations are needed, and we'll ensure an inclusive experience for everyone.

Is it possible to personalize the models made during the workshop?

Yes, personalization makes workshops extra fun! We can provide paints, stickers and markers so participants can make their model unique. This adds 30-45 minutes to the workshop duration and costs approximately €3-5 extra per person. Plan this in advance so we have the right materials ready.

What is the minimum and maximum group size for a workshop?

The minimum group size is 4 people to make a workshop viable. One supervisor can effectively lead a workshop for up to 12 people. For larger groups up to 24 people, we deploy two supervisors. For even larger groups, we split into multiple sessions or parallel workshops.

How do you handle different ages within one group?

With mixed age groups, we choose models suitable for all ages but offer different difficulty levels. Younger children get help with challenging parts, while older participants can take on extra challenges like detailing or painting. We also encourage experienced participants to help the younger ones.

Can we bring our own model or theme for the workshop?

In principle yes, but this requires customization and extra preparation. We're happy to look at your wishes and can often find suitable models that match your theme. Think of aircraft for an aviation theme or historic buildings for a history project. Contact us at least 4 weeks in advance for customized workshops.
