CARS - McQueen and "New" Mater
Posted by TheLastPriest on Sunday, November 13, 2011 9:07 PM

Not really a model, but the first bit of creative....anything I have done in a while, and done with my son so I figured I would share. Started as ceramic blanks, he and I painted them up this weekend. He did McQueen then said "daddy paint mater for Aidan" of course, because I am me, I took it to the extreme and spent the next 6 or so hours on it, but he is pleased so it is well worth it

Mater is one of my favourite cartoon characters of all time. Youve done a good job on him.

When i say favourite, i mean i had a mater cake for my 23rd birthday Embarrassed

I don't see anything wrong with that. I had a Spiderman cake for my 37th.

Great job on the ceramics! Yes

Thank you guys, having spent the weekend painting and hitting the hobby shop for the first time in forever, think my inner modeler is surfacing again, might actually get some work done for the first time in 3 or so years

He had fun, he has 4 year old syndrome bad, the ability to focus on one thing is nearly impossible. But I was able to get him to sit down and paint with me, every once in a while he would shoot up, jump off my lap and head towards his room to play. But with a simple "Aidan, arent we painting McQueen?" he would turn around with the same enthusiasm he had for running to play yell "PAINTING MCQUEEN!" and run back
