The Hive of Worcester

£6.00

THE HIVE - go on a creative adventure with your child, enjoy a bit of modelling and role modelling, be a great teammate, have fun and make a bright-coloured 3D architectural miniature of the Worcester's stunning landmark whose design carries inspiration from the outline of the nearby Malvern Hills and the kilns of Royal Worcester Porcelain. This striking award-winning gold-coloured multifunctional building houses academic and public libraries and provides access to a range of municipal services. Think like an architect through basic shapes and solids, and make a twin pair of vivid mini paper models.

Dimensions (when assembled) - 4.7 ⋅ 3.7 ⋅ 1.9 in / 12 ⋅ 9.5 ⋅ 5 cm
Size of the package - 5.1 ⋅ 4.2 ⋅ 0.2 inches / 13 ⋅ 10.7 ⋅ 0.5 cm
PRINTED KIT - CUT, FOLD, GLUE! You will need to cut, score, fold and glue the parts in order to assemble the models. It's a twin pack - assemble two identical models from the kit.

What's inside? 20 blueprint cards, assembling instructions and diagrams are printed on the inside of the cover and show the most important steps in building the model.

The blueprint cards are precisely double side printed:

on the front side - graphics with all the exterior details - like doors, windows, balconies, roofs etc.

on the reverse side - the cutting and folding patterns; this makes the cutting job easier, helps to focus and adds an extra moment for excitement.

There are numbers on both sides of the blueprint cards - they will help to assemble the model, just follow the sequence.

Things which are not included, but you'll need in order to assemble the model: scissors, a pen, a ruler and a glue stick (we recommend a solvent-free green SCOTCH stick).
