I built this for the greatest little guy in the world. My stepson Brandon who has Autism. They say a person with Autism chooses one person in there life that they listen to and become very close to. I am very lucky that he choose me when my wife and I first met. He has been my best buddy since then. Brandon is always watching me when I'm working on a build. So, I figured I would build him one. Most of my builds, I build and give away. This one will never leave our house. To me, this is the build that I am the most proud of it. It's no show winner but to me it is. Thanks for looking.

Good build. I had a neighbour named Matt with Autism. It can be dificult to watch sometimes, but he was a great kid and a heart of gold. I'm sure that Brandon is very much the same, as well as he's lucky to have an influence like yourself in his life. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys. Brandon hasn't seen it yet. He is at his Dad's house but will be here this weekend. Can't wait for his reaction. He doesn't speak but his eyes tell what he is thinking. I will try to get a pic of him when he sees it. Thanks again.

Well done, i like how you have made flags from jigsaw pieces, very imaginative. Is Brandon able to build with you ? I am a high functioning ASD suffer & i work with people with ASD. I take my hat of to to good sir.

Brandon also has CP and global developmental delay. He can't build but he does enjoy watching me and running off with pieces and tools...lol. He does like cars though. Especially those ones that play music and go back and forth with the push of a button. Thanks again for all of the comments.

Awesome, I love the jigsaw pieces! You must feel quite honored, Chris!

Words can't describe how I feel. He is my best buddy. Don't know what I would do without him.

Chris - That's a great looking build. Love the inspirational story for building this kit. It's a Model Show Winner in my book!!!

Definitely an award winner ! If you ever have the chance you should enter it in a contest . Bet that would put a smile on Brandon's face !

Great story to go with an awesome build. This is more than 'just a hobby' to a lot of us on this forum, and you've taken it to the next level. Congratulations and best of luck to you and yours.
