My 7 yo son building his first model!

Post by chops1sc »

My 7 year old son came into the hobby room and asked to build a car in my stash! Here he is putting in the work (under supervision of course).

    A brilliant start for the young lad. He's got an opportunity to learn from an experienced modeller and what looks like an absolute load of paints and tools to use as well. Here's hoping he continues to have fun :thumb1:
    Thanks

    I would love to say that he finished the model by himself, but his attention span and patience isn't quite there yet, LOL! He did choose the color and decals. He was there by my side during almost every step. We plan on getting another kit for him soon.
