  A model shop in Ayr, South Ayrshire, welcomed members of the 14th Ayrshire Scout Group.
  Warhammer has partnered with the Scouts in the UK to sponsor the organisation’s Model Maker Activity Badge.
  And by sponsoring this badge, they have created Games Workshops to provide young people with new and creative ways to learn skills.
  As a result the 14th Ayrshire Scouts (Prestwick) attended a Games Workshops in the Warhammer shop in Ayr’s Lorne Arcade.
  All the young people left feeling inspired as they were immersed in new, fantastical worlds which stoked their imaginations.
  Warhammer is the world’s greatest miniatures game.
  It is also an immensely creative hobby that help a young person’s inner artist flourish, whilst also encouraging social activities and group interaction.
  The Scouts left with a fantastic goodie bag to continue their model making.
  The manual and the models used as part of the workshops
  Scout Eric said: “I had a great time. When I got home from the workshop I got straight into building my second model.”
  A spokesperson for the group said: “All the models the young people built were made from recyclable plastic, which was another topic they covered in the workshop.
  “They found out they they could play different games with the figures. A war game- or a game with dice, almost like Chess.
  The Scouts and their leaders enjoyed an insightful afternoon of model making
  “Playing theses games can help to learn about strategies, decision making and numeracy.”
  Scout Leader, Joanne King, from the 14th Ayrshire Scout Group said: “Seeing how the young people worked together, helping each other was great.
  “They all seemed interested in what they were doing, and seeing all the finished figures around the shop inspired them!
  “A huge thank you to Austen at Warhammer, Ayr.”
