Walkden Scouts do Warhammer
The Walkden Scouts spent two evenings at the Warhammer store in Altrincham to learn about models and model-making, as well as creating their own. This is for their Model Maker badge. The Scout leaders were really impressed with the concentration the Scouts demonstrated when creating their own models, as well as their attention to detail.
