JOCKNEY Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi everyone My son Dylan's (aged 9) latest build is the Revell Space Shuttle for a school project on space. The first night of the build, using our traditional kitchen table technique, saw good progress on the shuttle The following night I had to work late, so when I got in and Dylan met me at the front door telling me he had carried on without me I feared the worse. However I'm delighted to say my fears were unfounded, in fact I think he made better progress without me ! As you can see still lots to do but the project has to be finished next week, so it looks like a busy weekend coming up. More later Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Sorry GS No broadband over the weekend, much domestic strife ensues ! However back up and running photos attached Paint matching proving a challenge at the moment. anyone built this kit and painted it with humbrol rather than Revell colours ?

Gimme Shelter Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi Pops Its really great to see a young and enthusiastic modeller - our next generations to take the hobby into the 22nd century hopefully Nice work on the shuttle - perhaps you should leave the new master of modelling to come up with his own paint job Let him know I am pleased to know we still have new young modellers to carry our hobby on after us.

JOCKNEY Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi John Really good shout on the paint, he has done so well building this completely himself it makes complete sense to let him carry on and do the painting, followed by the decals. More pics to follow. Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurrantBunbury Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I fondly remember working on an Airfix Spitfire with my Dad when I was about Dylan's age - it's a great hobby to inherit. Looks like he's doing a grand job so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I remember having a corgi space shuttle as a kid in the James Bond Moonraker colours - could look good. I did make a couple of kits with my dad in the 70s but he still comes round & sees what I am building now. I used to show my dad how to do it so good on Dylan. I have now built a nice little 1/72 hawk with my daughter who was 8 or 9 at the time. She is 10 now so probably need a new project soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Disciple Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Never too young to start models, he's done a cracking job so far. Models should be taught in schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
