Card model making for beginners

Card model-making is building small 3D models, usually buildings, from printed card parts. A first kit like Metcalfe's £10.50 station shelter and only the tools its instructions ask for are enough to find out whether you enjoy it.

Nerdy hobbies for adults worth starting

A nerdy hobby is one with a learning curve and a community that cares about the details, such as miniature painting, card models or a Raspberry Pi. The way in is one first project: a free Warhammer shop session or £23.50 squad, a £10.50 card shelter or a £10 Pico kit.
