bigbluesd Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) This is my four year old painting a model jet that we built together yesterday. It is an old Young Builder's Club kit that came in a lot of kits that I bought on eBay recently. Wasn't complete but the main parts were there and we scratch built what was missing. Came home from school today begging to paint it (told him I would prime it last night). Lots of fun. He has done a couple of snap kits with me, they make for great bonding time. Not sure about the authenticity of his color scheme but he loves it hanging from the ceiling in his bedroom! Edited June 18, 2014 by bigbluesd

Greg Wann Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Very cool. Your photo looks more like a Norman Rockwell painting than a picture from a camera

Greg Cullinan Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Nice. And mom made sure he didn't get paint on his shirt.

robertw Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 He is simply doing what most of us starting doing back in the dark ages of modelling, slap it together, throw paint (any paint) on it and hang it from the ceiling. You're clearly starting him in the right directionkeep it up and I hope you continue to have sucess in bringing him into the hobby.
Kit Basher Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 That's awesome. He's obviously really into it, he's even holding his tongue right!
ToyLvr Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) That is awesome! X2 Doesn't matter how it turns out. Quality time with your kid is always a winner... Edited June 19, 2014 by ToyLvr
