69H.O.Firebird Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Trying to start them young. She is 5 and has built a few snap kits with Pap. I let her brush paint where she can and she also applied the Future clear coat. Pap helps her push the parts together they are too tight for her. I make her locate the parts on the instructions and find them in the box. Pap trims them for her. Great times! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea0863 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 She did a wonderful job, with a little help from Pap! I hope she still has this model 40 years from now and remembers your time together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I agree with Emre, the time spent with your granddaughter has to be really special for both of you. Her Corvette looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Super awesome! Great looking Vette. Well done Pap. Fun times. If she has a little free time, get her to put together a short tutorial on clear coating for the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 That's awesome! It reminds me of the time spent with my own granddaughter, doing exactly the same thing. She even entered a build from a "make & take" at a show once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just gave her a nice big brush with a paint cup of future floor wax, told her to paint the whole car except for the tires. We let it sit overnight and it looks like this!
