Thank you all for your words,I think they are giving a good motivation to my son in the hobby,i give it too.
He is always looking if there is another reply.He is very proud with is dio.
I was hoping that he likes airplanes like me ,but is more fan of armor,ok no problem with that.
I agree with you Matrixone that the hobby needs young people to continue,here in Portugal,a lot of hobby shops are closing ,in Porto were i live ,we have only two.
The young people doesn´t have the pacience or the pleasure for it,it´s life.
Thanks to you all to contribute to my son happiness.

Pedro,

Your son has done great work, I hope he stays interested in building models for a long time. Our hobby needs more young people like him for it to keep going strong.

That little boy is a big modeler. Composition is a talent / technique that you are either born with or learn after much study. Vasco is a natural, keep them coming, I am looking forward to seeing some more of your work soon.

Thanks for your words guys, he was very happy and proud,when I translated your words.
He used for snow that snow spray can that we use in Christmas.
HeavyArty you are right about the jeep question,but when I told him ,he didn´t care (8 years) you know.
I am going to give you some close up pics, and thanks again,I think your words will contribute that the next time that I will go to a LHS,I will come back with my pockets empty.I don´t mind I like it also,he is for armor,me for aircraft.

Love the snow effect. It really gives a feel of a strong snow storm with all of them covered. I would love some more close-ups. Otherwise tell him great job! Better than anything I did at that age.

Looks great!! However, you need to start him out right, historical accuracy. The jeep is wrong era for WWII. The jeep is a M151A2 used from mid-70s till replaced by the HMMWV in late 80s. Correct jeep for WWII was a Willys MB or Ford built GPW, as seen below:

I agree he has the talent. If he can do that at 8 , I can only imagine what he is going to be turning out in the future. Let him know that is a great job.
