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 Big Smile [:D]

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

Aaaaah, finally I got my dose of it.  He's doing a hell of a job on this beast.  Don't mind about the uneven parts, just pretend its a little bit distorted from really big jump.   Very nice, keep posting.
No matter where you go ....... there you are.

OMG OMG OMG How could I have forgotten the body of the car ?   Tongue [:P]

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

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.
