Read the passage and decide if each following statement is T (true) or F (false).
Model making is a wonderful way of spending time alone or even with your family. Model making means making very small replicas of real life objects. You can make models of many things in the world. But the most popular models are models of people, aircraft, and war machines like military tanks or ships. Another very popular type of model making is architectural. It means that people make models of buildings and even groups of buildings.
The first thing to do is to identify the item you like the most. It should be practical and affordable. For example, once you have decided that you would like to make a model plane, you could go to a hobby store in your neighbourhood and check out the different model planes available there. Those planes will be in kit form and you will have the joy of assembling the full model plane. If you are new to this hobby, you should choose something simple to start with.
