My daughter Melissa is engaged to Kevin, who has a 7-year old daughter, Meagan. While we were at dinner to celebrate Kevin's birthday, Meagan overheard me discussing the 1971 Charger model car I built for her Daddy. Afterward, she sweetly asked me if I could build her a "blue car." Well, I couldn't and wouldn't turn her down, so I set out to honor her request.

These are pictures of the Revell 2001 Corvette Z06 Snap Kit that I put together for her. I looked over my paint stash and decided that Tamiya Brilliant Blue would be the perfect color. I primered the body with Duplicolor Sandable White Primer. I shot the Tamiya Brilliant Blue and covered that with Testor's One Shot Clear Lacquer. I painted the interior with Krylon Semi-Flat Black. I assembled the kit, added the kit stickers and some detail painting. I created a Georgia License Plate with Meagan's name on it. The final assembly was quick and was the best experience I've had this year.

I love it when I can build a car for someone....adults sure....always good........ but when you can do one for a young person....it really makes it fun....

Great build and of course I am seriously prejudiced....I love the subject matter!!!!!
