My 8 y.o. kid is better than me ! CDN ( of course ) Hornet

[Captain Canada]

Not fair ! Not fair ! Maybe I should just go with " I taught him everything he knows " Ya, that might make me feel better......

Anyway, he started this 144th kit one day. He had it mostly done the next day, and I told him " you'll probably have to put some different decals on it, 'cause these ones will be a little to hard for you ". Much to my surprise, I got home from work and "wow", the kids a natural !

  That is fantastic !  At that age, I was lucky to get the canopy on straight (shades of Calvin and Hobbes).  That is talent that we are going to have to keep an eye on...MD, are you listening? NASA? Yipes.

So is he to be known as Major Canada?    Nice work, heck Cap, maybe you should take notes, he got one off the bench pretty quick!

[John Howling Mouse]

Nice!  Tell me those are "stickers" and not actually water-slide transfer dEEEcals!  Sure beats playing Nintendo DS all day long!

[The Rat]

Ain't it the horse's arse? You just get them to the age where they can be genuinely impressed rather than just thinking parents are gods, and they pull stuf like this!  Tell him he's got a very admiring audience here. 

Derek is doing the same thing with his Warhammer figures, I think I'll put him to work doing all my pilots.

He did a great job on that.  I'm certain I would not have done nearly as well with the same thing.  I've just started delving in to 1/144, and it's much more challenging in many ways than the larger scales.

He's a chip off the ol' block for sure, Toad! Your boy has serious skills!

8 y.o. I cannot believe it!

Congrats, really

[nev]

Wow   He should be justifiably proud.

[B777LR]

Wow, thats impressive, and he did it alone! Hats off to a child half the age of me

[Gary]

This is great! I can't even get my kid to eat my cooking.

Cool Job, well done!

[kitnut617]

That's amazing Todd, the kid done good !!

[Captain Canada]

Thanks guys ! I just read all the replies to him....now he's got a big grin and wants to build something else !

[kurly]

now you can get him to teach you how to ride a motorcycle

[Captain Canada]

We tried that....but I can't keep up with him long enough to learn anything !
