Patience is something you need to be a good modeler. Some people just slap kits together and wonder why they don't look good. The patient modeler can put a kit together and people will look two or three times and still wonder if it's a kit or a built-up.

Well done Tyler, keep us posted on your progress.

Remember Grandpa's are a great source to learn from, mine taught me many lessons I am now starting to pass to my son.

Cheers,

Give it a good spray of Testors Dull Coat to hide any glue that shows. Covers it well, I dull coat all my structures and most of my cars.

What is your next project?

Do you weather before or after the dull coat? And I have used hairspraiy to seal in the weathering, although I am not 8 yrs. old and did not have to worry about glue showing! :eek:ops:

However, for his first building Tyler is doing a great job. I think we will work on a small scratch build shed next. Just to get his little creative juices flowing! LOL :mrgreen:

He is finished with the building and now that the posting issue seems to be solved will put up last pictures Monday.

Thank you guys for being so warm and welcoming to a child. I do not want him to get hung up on destructive computer games and violence like that.

Thanks,
David

You are doing fine CPTyler the building looks good. I like Model Power buildings because the assembly instructions are detailed and the parts are not too complicated to assemble.
Now you just have to learn how to weather it with a mixture of some rubbing alcohol and India ink.
I too , like anyone else , have problem posting pictures but we have to give some time to Peter the Administrator to fix that problem. He must have some time for family life too.
