Miniart: Introduction

Get your crafting gloves on - we have just the thing for you and your child. Miniart’s line of DIY wooden kits is a fun way for kids aged 6 and up to spend time with their parents building something they can feel proud of. These miniatures are the perfect projects for kids who’ve begun growing out of simple paper craft but don’t have the fine motor control necessary to pull off a model airplane by themselves. With the help of an adult, these little clockwork wonders only take an hour or two to assemble into mechanical objects that move without electricity! The aircrafts, cars, trains, kitchen sets and telephones in the Miniart range are made of laser-cut wood and sturdy plastic – which means you don’t have to worry about leaving them out. Leave it assembled as a display piece or take it apart to put together again later – these little wonders don’t require glue, scissors or sharp tools, so you’re free from worry too! Some of the kits even use wind-up mechanisms to operate their functions - which is endlessly amusing for curious little ones who like working with their hands. Playable, buildable, collectable and displayable - Miniart’s models appeal

MiniArt Model Kit 1:35 Kursk 1943 PzKpfw IV Field Repair Diorama packs a load of battle charm, with Panzer crews and a full-size machine being brought back into fighting condition during the Battle of Kursk. This set has been thoughtfully designed, complete with 7 human figures and equipment including: jacks, starter crank, signal mine (ladungsbuchse), wrench, hammers, bolt cutters, spanners, screwdrivers, cans, saws, shovels and more. That’s a lot to work with. The instructions are thorough as well and the kit is made up of finely cast grey sprues - fun for any hobbyist aged above 14.

The MiniArt Model Kit 1:35 Anzio 1944 Field Repairing Of Stug III Ausf G Diorama is perfect for a hobbyist who wants to build a realistic diorama from start to finish. This one includes an unassembled brick base plate and five machinery units to display alongside the crew: like the jerrycan, electrical lamp post and road sign. This is another challenging project for creative young adults over 14 who want to hone their attention to detail.

The MiniArt Model Kit 1:35 Australian M3 Lee & Interior With Australian Decals is an entirely different project all on its own. It focuses on details you would find inside the tank - from the transmission compartment and drive shaft parts to ammunition and rear antenna.

Finding Value In Art

Our kits are optimal learning tools for people aged 8 and up. The parts are small and numerous, so anyone building our kits will need nimble fingers and focus, and patience, and an attention to detail. Younger kids may need a hand with painting details or putting parts together. But it’s something they’ll get better at the more kits they get to build - which is a win for us, and a win for them. In any case, the feeling of accomplishment when you see a set completed is quite satisfying - and it’s something we like to share with everyone that picks up one of our kits. They make thoughtful gifts for holidays, birthdays, or just for the sake of giving. Our sets come in a number of different difficulty levels, so you know what you’re getting into when you buy one - but being able to scale up that way is good too. Our products are a fun activity to do on your own or with a group. That’s part of the reason why we’re so happy about being able to make these things. You don’t just see them sitting around in a dark corner. They get picked up, moved around, and used regularly.
