fitforbattle Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm having model building classes at work (I work at a youth center) and thought I should share their work. These are built by kiddos that have never even seen plastic model kits before, so I presented them to some easy kits and some tamiya colors. These are some finished models so far. North American P51 Mustang built by a 13 year old F16 built by a 10 year old. No white paint tho, he though the kit plastic looked OK. More builds will be added on later. I'm so proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Eh? Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 All of the kids' efforts have paid off with great looking models. Applying decals is a lot trickier than it looks. Great efforts all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBoyle Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 These can't be their first builds. There isn't any body's painted in multiple layers of Testors enamel using a brush, no tube and a half of glue per kit, no glue finger prints on the kit glass, etc...They are doing great work and thank you for taking the time to get them interested in doing so.
