Brandy Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Excellent job Winston, and dad! Anything that can keep a 4 year old interested is worth following up on! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 My first painted kit looked like that and I was 11 at the time. I'm only slightly better now at 64. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Great start to the hobby. I sent my grandson some Meng kids kits for his birthday. He is four too. I like the tee shirt. Where did he get a New Zealand tee shirt from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Great stuff! I sense there a some plastic kits in your future! No hurry though - this is an excellent start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Great job Winston and much admired on here. Well done Dad too. As I know from experience they have an infinite capacity for doing something that you had not imagined they were capable of. There will be more surprises along the road. Now one my dear Procop - attention please. A great effort by Winston so he gets 10 out of 10 but Dad ........ Where was the guiding parental hand on the preshading of the panel lines????!!! You are a lucky Dad to have him but he is a lucky boy too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Most excellent Winston! Thanks for posting this Edward; it really makes me smile, and I know how cool it must be for you. Thanks also for introducing your son to this rewarding and fulfilling hobby. He will thank you for this later. But, is the weathering a bit too heavy for that type? Just a joke of course, how long until we see his next build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 What a great first build, well done to that young man. I can imagine how enjoyable it must be. My son wanted to do some models but then computer games got his attention unfortunately. We do do some railway modelling together though now. My daughter wants to build a model aircraft with me and has made me build her a modelling booth to go on her desk, she is very arts and crafts and they both are talented. I must step back from constantly working on the house and models to spend more time with them. I am so busy trying to get the house finished I am missing them growing up. Thank you (and I mean this in a kind way) for giving my conscience a nudge and the parental kick up the bottom I needed. Please pass my congratulations on to Winston and I hope you both enjoy many more modelling sessions together. Take care and all the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 That's terrific! I can imagine, as a parent, how that must've felt for you. "Good job" to Winston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I’m not sure he got the right shade of blue for the scale. Only kidding. I she’s a bloody triumph. Nice work Winston, next stop 1/32. 🛩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger350Pilot Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) This absolutely warms my heart! What an amazing dad you are to see and know the creativity in your precious son...its how we love our children well! Testing or not, exceptional IQ or average, Winston is a delight! All he needs is to be challenged in becoming what's already in his heart to be! One of those things has to be a master modeler! And with you supervising and encouraging, he's already a great one! Love the little model..."Spirit of Winston..." wheels straight, wings perfectly even, and a very striking livery! Maybe it should go under glass...saved and preserved for showing off. He's 4 now...his first engineering project under his little belt...when he's 34 and a senior designer at Boeing, or Airbus, and having perfected the design of fire fighting airplanes, you and he will be able to look back, laugh in awe, and remember. Congratulations, Winston! You really really really did good!!!! (So did you, dad!!) Edited October 12, 2019 by Challenger350Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
