mikeew Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 He's on the slippery slope now! My Boy Ethan has just made his first model, at 4 yrs old. My parents bought Ethan his first model this Christmas, a wooden build-it-yourself model with acrylic paint pots and PVA glue. I helped him build it as it was a bit tricky in places, but he did the glueing. Once the glue was dry, I let him loose with the paints and the stickers ... and here he is with the finished result, looking very proud of himself. He hasn't left it alone since finishing it. We had a great time and he kept asking my advice and opinion throughout the painting and stickering bits. I asked him what he wanted to call it and he said its the "Mighty Mighty" and is part of the "Beautiful Air Force". Great fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Rogers Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Wow! An Ethan Aerospace Mighty Mighty, where can I get one, my stash seems somehow lacking now I've seen that. What a fantastic look on his face, it's the essence of why we do this stuff. I think it's that emotion in all of us that draws us to this hobby.
