dadgaddad Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I took my 4 year old son to the Cosford airshow and he has not stopped talking about the Red Arrows since. When I saw this starter set in my LMS with a quid off I bought it for him. He liked cutting the parts off and painting but glueing and decals were less interesting. I guessed this when half way through he said, "I'm bored now" and wandered off to watch CBeebies. He soon came back when it was time to paint it red. Here we have a diorama of an interesting time in Red Arrows history when planes were towed by Spiderman Transformers. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filler Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) This site still demoralises daily. Yesterday it was a someone with a Hornet built in just 3 days and now a 4 year old is rubbing my talentless nose in it! Keep up the good work kiddo!

raguk Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 A kittle word of caution, Hide your stash as he gets older! Came home from work once to find my son "playing with my planes" I wasn't nice, Rick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burncpt Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Brilliant! I wasn't expecting to come on here for a chuckle but the deadpan introduction of the Transformers diorama was genius! And a jolly good model to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunray Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This was my first kit back in the times of black and white telly but this one is 100 times better than my one. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpiomikey Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Very nice, im thinking about getting my mates 3 boys into it at some stage, i was going to ask what an appropriate age is, but i think they're all over 5. Im guessing you wielded the knife most of the time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Great stuff, doing models with the kids is my excuse for doing models at all. Also keeping the finished one's on the kids ceiling deals with storage issues. Dare one suggest a kids section on the website for us parents grandparents etc so showcase "emerging talent" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
