My hat off to you, great to see kids enjoying the modeling and time with dad.
You can just see the consentration on their faces and is'ent it great what
excellent work small fingures and hands can do.
Oh to be young again lol

Seb, great to see the kids working on it! And welcome to the worls of bogies and Shermies... And a fine build it is so far! You sure daddy's involvement is only advisory?

Can't wait to build with my kid!

Cheers!
Stefan

I'm jealous, not because your Kids model, but because they're better at it than me!

So, so great to see!!!! Hope your kids know they have a lot of supporters out here

Seb this is a great thread. You should be very proud of Constance and Mateo, and isn't it great to be able to spend time sharing such a wonderful hobby with your children !

I started a thread HERE a while back on the same topic. I showed my 2 boys the work going on here in your thread, and explained to them that you are on the opposite side of the world, and they both wanted you to tell your children that they have more supporters "Down Under."

Keep up the great work Constance, and keep on sanding Mateo.

Cheers, D

Thanks all of us for your comments
I am touched and I will try to explain to Constance all your comments.
Since, it is a successful experience , I am going to extend it. Next week Constance
Will be on vacation with my Dad,so it will be a granddad daughter activity
Will see the outcome
Cheers
Seb

I got a Panther just waiting! It's an Ausf D, so just Dunkelgelb for paint!

What a great thread. I recently started a similar project (Sherman) with my 10 year old son. This is fantastic.

We are in the middle of the moving now so the build is on hold.
I hope to restart rapidly.
Cheers
Seb

Almost here
The shermie is finished:






Painting the tools and small introduction to dry brushing:




More to come

Cheers
Seb

Looking good! Let me know when she is ready for a Panther, I have a kit for her!

Dear Jim
Let see if the Mommy is please with German armors .

Constance want to build other vehicles so she will decide.
Thanks for the offer anywau much appreciate.
the shermie is grey not totally because i want to prime it before she start playing with the AB and paint it with OD. Since the plastic color is allready OD she will see where the paint goes.

Stay tune

Cheers
Seb

It's great to see this project continuing on

We try to educate the kids to finish what they start.
So here also.
Cheers
Seb

I don't want to become a Sherman dealer! Make her a Shermanaholic! You know the first one's free and then when they are hooked you tell them about M4, M4A1, M4A2, M4A4, M4A3, high bustle, low bustle, big hatch, small hatch, Firefies, 75mm, 76mm, 105mm. LOL!!!

You know the Panther can be done in postwar French armor!

If she is bad she will have to build a Churchill, with all those little wheels!

OD applied plus varnish
Now decals
Slowly but surely

Excellent Progress congratulations to her

Seb,

Constance is doing far better than I did on my first dozen kits and I was probably twice her age, too.

I think it's wonderful you have sparked your children's interest in this hobby. As you already stated, they are learning to finish what they start, and creating something in the process truly reinforces this lesson in an enjoyable way.

Happy Modeling!

Awesome job with the decals, she has a very steady hand and good eye

Terrific

Al

Thanks Guys
We are almost finish now

Constance want to build an airplane now so I will see

The good point of the hobby and I never realize that before it is the fact that kids at this age cannot focus more than 10 min on single task so with the hobby they can do funny stuff and applying decals take than 10 min

So I will post more of the pics

Thanks

that is a very cool build.
