Again, I am happy to show a beautiful model made by a junior builder.

This Steyr was build by Dieter Thijs (Belgium) at the age of 15, just like his modelling friend Nick Driessen (Both are members of the KMK Scale World modelling club) he shows a lot of talent.

It is great to see some work of new blood in the hobby, the only disadvantage is that I feel very old now

Great stuff-especially from someone so young. I don't think I could do that good a job. These trucks are really interesting and I've got to try one soon.

Hi. Wow, what modeling skill at this age. This individual has a great future in this hobby, or any other type of profession that deals with working with small items, whether model related or not.

Take care, sgirty

If you have a chance to meet him - tell him he has a fan in California. Nice modeling!

Age aside, this guy has talent. Excellent subject and paintwork! Lovely little base as well to set it all off! These guys when they come to our age will be setting the standards for modelling! Great work!

Really, really outstanding stuff. I was especially impressed with the fabrication and painting of the bed cover. The boy is an artist!

It is only hoped that he will stick with the hobby, as youngsters tend to change interest when they get older. Now thát would be a waste of talent
