Awesome! My son asked to help me build a model today!

My son caught me completely by surprise this morning by asking if he could help me the next time I sat down to do some model building. I've been hoping he would show some interest, but I haven't wanted to push it on him. I want it to be something he's genuinely interested in and not something he feels like his dad is forcing on him. So of course I said yes. I have really good memories of sitting down with my dad and watching while he worked on his armor kits. In fact that's how I really got interested in building kits of my own. Anyway, I had a cheap Testor's Corsair kit that I picked up at our local Michaels arts and crafts store for about six dollars. It's really a pretty crummy little kit, but I figured I would just use it to practice some painting and weathering techniques on. I let him do pretty much all the work after showing him how to carefully clip the parts from the sprues and how to use liquid cement without getting it all over everything. I think he did a pretty good job, but I'm probably a little biased. And I told him I'd put some pictures up on the internets, so here's my son's first foray into the world of plastic models:
