On my last visit to the LHS I came away empty handed but my 8 year old Daughter Katri was clutching Miniart's East European Farmyard injection moulded kit in 1/72.
It went together fairly simply. She clipped the parts from the sprue and cleaned the edges with a sanding stick and glued them together under my supervision







The last pic isn't great but we plan to make a little farmyard dio with some trees too this weekend. She thinks maybe making models is better fun than playing Mario on the DS but she won't swap her DS she says

Hey Pat she has done a fine effort here! A Miniart kit is prolly as good a way as any to introduce them to scale modelling. The Voyager US Half track upgrade will be next




A compromise is a good enough thing nowadays Pat

Pat watch out your stash just started shrinking LOL. Give her a well done from me.

That is great. Nice to see younger ones picking up the hobby. Nice build up. Hope you both have fun with this one. More pic's as she goes along please. My daughter tried and gave up on Testors alien figure. Still have it 1/2 done hoping one day she'll try again.

Congrats Kati&Exer, hope that this will be a start of another modeller career
:-)
cheers

We need a new younger modeller generation
(when i was a kid i wasn't as skilled as she seems)

Cheers and congrats to daddy and daughter

Thanks for the comments guys Katri is chuffed with them. We'll try and get some work done this week in between uitar lessons, art classes and drama workshops
