carcrazy19 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 We went to Hobby Lobby to see what was on the shelves in the model section and my son who is big in to monster Jam right now saw the MAD MAX snap kit. He asked me if he was old enough to build it. Then said to me I could help him if he doesn't understand the instructions. I thought to myself why not he's a smart kid. We got home and got right to building after an hour and half he completed the kit and was so excited to have finished his model that he couldn't wait to show everybody. I couldn't be more proud of him.
tmb727 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 What a great post. I love the "he couldn't wait to show everybody" comment. That's what we all do here! That wonderful feeling of accomplishment and pride in your work. Well done to your boy!

shoopdog Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Need to take him back to Hobby Lobby for his next one! Nice work!
rickcaps55 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Very good he did much better then I did the first time around keep him going.!!!
Bainford Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Cool build. That thing looks wicked. Looking forward to seeing the next one.
espo Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Your sons first build looks great. The best part was that you got to be there with him, sometimes moments like this are memories that last a life time.
High octane Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 How old is your son? My grandson will soon be 5 but I'm thinkin' of waiting 'til he's 6 to see if he has any interest in building plastic models.
Hi-Po Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Great to see your son getting interested in the hobby. Keep it going.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Congratulations to him! I hope you had some good quality time together!

I hope you have a memorable time with your grandson as I did with my son. Edited July 18, 2018 by carcrazy19
carcrazy19 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) I showed him all of your wonderful comments and he was really excited that you all like his model. Thanks everyone for all the great comments. Edited July 18, 2018 by carcrazy19
Hmann68 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Very cool! I've been helping my buddy's son with a Bigfoot kit for couple weeks now, and he's having a blast!
Watertown Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Congratulations to your son on the fine build. I wish mine had turned out so well at that age! Lastly, high praise to you as his father, encouraging him to create something he can share, display and be continually proud of, may be the best gift, and is quite frankly the best part of this story. Thanks for sharing, this wins best post today honors.
