Starting Again

Welcome aboard DJ.  I have a 5 year old girl that I hope to inspire soon.  Unfortunately, she only wants to paint everything pink right now, to include my model desk.

Welcome DJ. No young kids but i have a cat that thinks everything i paint should have a furry texture, is a piggin sneaktheif and will run off with whatever i leave on the desk. has a special liking for laggy bands and shrink tube.

@lawdog: It took some convincing, but I was able to get her to paint the Hellcat according to the instructions.  I'm still amazed at how good of a job she did at 5.  The only thing that I did was spray the exterior.  She did all of the assembly, hand painting, and masking.

@talentless: I had a cat years ago that would hop up on my modeling table and just sit and watch.  I could leave it out all night and he would not bother any of it.  He even helped me defeat the evil carpet monster!  I miss that cat.  None of the other cats that I've had could be trusted like that.

Way to go with your daughter.  Ya gotta start 'em out young if yer gonna teach 'em right

Welcome to the forums...post some pictures! We love pictures.

OK, I'm going to try to post some pics.

Here is the F-14D that was my last build.

And here is my daughter's first model, the Hellcat.

And this is a Yamaha YZF that did not survive the last move.  I gave it a custom paint job.  Not too bad for just using rattle cans.

As you can see, I'm not a rivet counter.  I do the best I can with what I have, and try to do better than I did on the last one.
