ToyLvr Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 My grandson, Jack, tackles Revell's 2015 Mustang snap kit....
atomicholiday Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 You know, that's the coolest build I've seen in a long time. Nice job young man!
ToyLvr Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 He needed a little guidance, but he took right to the idea of "snap". Revell made it very easy. Also, I found out that Jack is like "Snake"; doesn't believe in reading instructions, but then again, he's only 3-1/2 years old!
Kris Morgan Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Awesome job Jack. Nice to see a kid starting to pick up the hobby.
horsepower Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Remember, we're the males of the species, we don' need no stinking instructions, they're just someone else's idea of doing what we can without all the wasted time for reading.
horsepower Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Oh yeah, there's still an Audi, and a Crown Vic' cop car for you to get him, then the Impala cop car would be the next step up the ladder. Don't give him time to discover video games, I have one seven year old grandson that shows some interest in models, but I'm having to drag him from his games, and then our daughter and her husband got a kindle fire for the six month old boy, and darn if he isn't trying to play the thing already. We're doomed unless we can keep them in a cocoon. lol

We're doomed unless we can keep them in a cocoon. lol Del, unfortunately we're too late on the video games. Jack has been playing them as early as 12 months old. At age 18 months, he could grab my iPhone or iPad, turn it on, then flip through the icons until he found a game he liked. He's a really smart kid! (not that I'm proud grandpa or anything like that...) He noticed the snap models on a visit with me to the LHS that I frequent. In particular, he noticed the kid on the Mustang box art, and indicated to me that if that kid could build the model, so could he. Naturally I jumped at the chance to accommodate his request. Y'all can be sure that I'll be doing my best to encourage his participation in the hobby. As it's been discussed in other threads, I consider this to be a wholesome hobby that anyone in the family can participate in. Thanks for your kind comments!
ToyLvr Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Great!!!! Is he playing with it?? Yeah, Ron, that's the great thing about this kit. The kid isn't expected to put the completed model on the shelf and just look at it!
Badluck 13 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Hey Jack beautiful Mustang you sure did a great job ...can't wait to see the next model you build!! keep up the great work!
Ford guy Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Great job Jack! Very cool Mustang. Keep up the good work!
rickcaps55 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Awesome !!! You got the right idea it's up to us Grandpa's to keep this hobby alive.! My oldest Grandson just turned 4 I think one more year and it's model time. I do have him into Hotwheels now I started that at 2 he's got a good start for car's. His first words out of his mouth when they come over hi papa were our my cars. I love it.!!!!!!
Scott Colmer Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Way to go, jack! Nice clean model. Looks great. Can't wait to see what you do next!
