My son's model

That's GREAT wasjr, please tell her WTG,  2 for her, and you know you have to post some pics of her build now

I wish,  Oooooooooooooo BOY do I wish that there was some kind of club here for me and my kids. They would LOVE to do something like that.

Girls do ROCK. My Mother got me into Model Building when I was about Hmmmmmmmm 5 ?

Have a GREAT day all

Bud

Good job tell him to keep it up. My Granddaughter 10 got her first snap 4 years ago. I got her to enter it in annual region contest in the preteen class She took 3rd out of 12.  She bought her 3 raffle tickets and she won 2 Glue kit models for the next year. Needless to say Eleni is now hooked. She has finished 2nd or 3rd every year since then. This year she built the AMT 40 ford coupe glue kit and for the first time painted it with shaker can paints. Over 14+ entries and she was the youngest and only girl.. Boy did the guys give her a hard time over her purple Ford with dropped front end till it was announced that she got 1st place in the class.  Needless to say she now has the boys respect and they have ask her what she is entering for the next contest. PS She saves her money every year for the raffle tickets so she can win items and buy models she likes for the following years. 

  So see gentlemen even young ladies can kick tail. Just get them started promote the hobby .

PPS; There are two young ladies in the teen class that duke it out for topdog in their class every year.

Update from my last post.......

The Lost In Space model STINKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

The fits STINKS and it looks like STINK !  LOL

But my kid got it for me and we built it

Y'll have a GREAT day

Bud

OMG OMG OMG How could I have forgotten the body of the car ?  

He wanted me to post this too.

" Dad, why does Jesse get to put his models on here and not me ? "

And we can't forget my little girl, Well not that little 11 years old. LOL  She bought my this kit about 3 months ago and we built it all up the other day and we will be painting it soon.

Thanks all

Bud

Yea, I know it's been a long time,  but he is still working on it on and off. Most of his time is spent playing PS2 with his friends.  He is like me, he would rather be inside then outside.

Well here are some more pics I just took today. So you know he is still working on it LOL

I think he is doing a GREAT job if I may say so being him Dad and all

As you can see in these photos some of it is not even BUT for me that's OK. He is still doing each part good and painting " with my help " each part.

Thanks for looking and getting this back up here.

Y'll have a GREAT day

Bud

  I don't usually surf this forum but when I see "My son's model"........ let's just say I have a very soft spot . I must say though, like Yann said, very very impressive stash!! A nice mix. Well I know he is in very capable hands and  I wish him all the luck in the world with his modeling ventures. Keep him posting. The Zipmeister give you 2 !

Thanks for sharing

Thanks all

Bud

Yea I remember having that kit when I was younger. I got that for him for his birthday.

Thanks all for all the good things you are saying.  Jeese and I enjoy reading it.

Bud

I can see he already have a nice stash!  I'dd like to see him building the space shuttle over the airliner soon.  I came close to buy it once.

Very nice work so far.

Here is another update of my son's model.

And here are 2 pics of his work desk in his room that he wanted to to post.  I know there dark, I need to get him some better light.

Bud & Jesse

1st off, I would like to apologize to all thr Daughters, Mothers, Wifes, Sisters out there. Girls DO build models. My daughter and I built some models together too. here is a pic of that Loveable Bug Herbie we did. As you can see in the pic she also has a Jonny Lighting Herbie too and a LOT of other Herbie things to go along with that.  So YES Dads, Moms and Sons and Daughters, Wifes and Sisters. All have fun building together :)

Keep up the posts, would like to see other pics of your kids models

Bud

P.S. For the past 6 months now my daughter wants the REAL Herbie car, " Dad can you get it for me "   LOL

My 8 yr old daughter built the Polar Lights Herbie Love Bug awhile back.She loved it.Asked me the other day when "we"were going to build another model together

Tell your son he's doing a bang up job on the 'digger model.

Modeling for a young kid I think is a GREAT idea, give them something to do and if the Dad builds too, it's GREAT for Dad and Son to work together :)

Even though my son says " DAD ! Don't touch my model, you might brake it " LOL I remember saying that too.....

Bud

One word my son said when he saw them pics...................

                                            WOW !             

 

Now see what you did. He wants a BIG Truck like that now,  hehhehe

Thanks for the pics, he Loved them :)

Bud

That's going to look great when finished!

Came to think about some pics I snapped on another Monster truck a couple of years ago. Not the Digger, but maybe useful anyway?
