Fantom Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Here is my 13 year old nephews first glue build. The AMTs Super Natural Impala . He’s got a couple snap kits under his belt. He did all the paint and 95% of the assembly with my guidance. Good to see young people with interest in models. Edited June 10, 2021 by Fantom 1
stitchdup Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 The pics aren't showing mate but I managed to extract the link for them. He did a nice job on it
Miatatom Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Great job! Looks a lot better than the stuff I turned out at 13.
Paul Payne Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 He can be proud of a nice clean build and a great paint job! Model on!
lucky 130 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Most excellent duedlet. If he's already that good at 13, think about what he'll be like ay 23.
Nosferatu Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Nice! I don't think I was doing that good at that age. It's so nice to see a younger generation getting into model building. Keep up the great work!
Snake45 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Very clean! He's off to a great start and tell him Snake says Model On!
Hi-Po Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Nice! For his first glue build, your nephew shows a lot of potential.

Fantom Posted June 11, 2021 Author Posted June 11, 2021 Thanks all!! He appreciates the encouragement! It surprised me that just kinda took it so well...I really hope he continues building...he’s started Revells 67 Impala already.
John B. Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Very nice! Its nice to see a young person get into the hobby! ?
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 Very nice! It was at about that age I gave up on the hobby and discovered something a bit more challenging, girls.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 11, 2021 Posted June 11, 2021 He did good! I was building paint glopped glue bombs at that age, LOL!!!
papajohn97 Posted June 12, 2021 Posted June 12, 2021 Great job, especially on the paint. I’ve always found black shiny paint jobs to be the most difficult to pull off, your nephew nailed it! Careful uncle Fantom, a few more of these and he’ll be hooked and your best tools and supplies will start to mysteriously disappear!
