Grandson wants to learn!

You're a lucky man, O.F. No kid's or grandkid's for me, but in retirement I have taught many neighbor kid's, even some of their dad's that never learned. In summer my garage shop noise attracts them quickly. Great fun.

Good for you! Both of you! All of my kids tried their hand at building. My youngest did for longer than the rest. But they all eventually stopped in their teens. My son has gotten back into it with Gundams though. 

Excellent, good for you!  My grandson is only nine months old and I've already told my son I want to teach him how to build a kit.

That's great, I'm glad for you all.  Sometimes, it just doesn't work, however.  I tried to get my grandson interested first with a 1/72 snaptite aircraft model, then with a building for his HO train layout.  Nothing.  He's a very bright kid and now off to music with the school band, and computer stuff.  No interest in modeling.  But he is doing fine in other areas he enjoys, so I'm pleased.

Very nice. I hope he catches the bug like the rest of us.

Cool

Yep, that is cool. A new modeler is born. Please follow up and let us know how it goes.

Thank you all for the replys !!! Yea I think it's pretty cool myself. It will give me a chance to get to know him better / bond. And pass along what I can remember the skills to model building. 35+ years ago when I started I had no mentors and learned stuff on my own. It's just a slow process at this point as were still moving into the new house. If everything goes as planed tonight will be our last night in the apartment. And he will be spending the next weekend with us. Yes, I will post his work in this thread :D
