Matt Bacon Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Please indulge a proud father! This is my daughter Kate's Heller Bentley. She's now turned 13, and this is her fourth car kit -- and although this has been on the workbench for a long while, I think she can be very proud of it! As you can see... she's pretty pleased! all the best, Matt
ffreak Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Very Cool !!! It's good to see a youngun respecting the classics !!! With the next generation in hands like these, I think it's gonna be just fine !! Keep up the great work !!
cobraman Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 She did a fantastic job on that kit. It very much reminds me of the days my daughter built some models with me.

John Teresi Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Kate.....very good built model.......you also have good taste with a classic vintage car.........BEAUTIFUL
Volvoman Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Beautiful model built by a very talented young lady. You should be extremely proud of her. Very well done and lets hope to see many more.
Erik Smith Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Wow. 13 and she put together a HELLER kit? Looks great, too. Nice work! I have a 9 year old daughter and she builds periodically - she's working on the Beatle's Yellow Submarine currently.
Chuck Most Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Nice! Kate- you should be proud- that came out beautifully! And Matt- consider yourself indulged.
peter31a Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Congratulations, Kate! That is a great build of a historic vehicle. Job well done young lady!
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Very fine job on a beautiful car. Edited July 29, 2012 by Ace-Garageguy
Frank Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Kate, that is a great build of a classic car, you should be very proud of it.
Wagoneer81 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Wow! Very nice! Tell her that I've been building for over thirty years and I would be PROUD to have this build in my collection. Very well done!
Dave Ambrose Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Congratulations, Kate. That is an excellent job, and you should be very pleased.
CorvairJim Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 What a beauty... And the model came out great too! Seriously, I hope you stick with the hobby, Kate. You clearly have a talent for it. The actual car that your Bentley model was based on was a very successful racing car back when it was running. As I recall, an identical car won the 24 Hours Of LeMans in 1928 and finished second in 1929.
bsoder Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 That is some nice work there young lady!..keep it up B)
Danno Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Most excellent!!! Great job, Kate. Thanks for sharing it with us.
sports850 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 You did a very nice job on that Kate , well done .
Matt Bacon Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Thank you very much for all the lovely messages! It was a great kit to build and I'm very proud of it. I know I'm going to make a Spitfire next, but I'm not sure which car after that. Possibly something like an Aston Martin? Kate
