Pedro,

Say to your son he has doen a very very nice job.
And this is just his second dio?? He must be good
When does he become a member??

A few comments tough. The brick wall is to clean, give it was for more dept and some filters for some dirtyness. Also try to putt some pigments on it.
The Sherman to clean for my taste. In a city with a lot of buildings that has fallen down, has a lot of dust. Tanks become dusty too.

That was the thing I was looking for. Dust....

Unless these small things he has done a great job.

If you put together 5 - 10 images I'd like to do an On Display feature showcasing a great rookie diorama.

This is really good.

Damn is he good!

At 9 years old... I must have been watching too much cartoons to realize there's such a hobby as scale modeling..

Great job

Wow Your sone has got some talent there. As for the Weathering.... Who cares. Remember guys when you evaluate this..... he IS 9. Look at the rest of it, Such as the good paint jobs, the cleanliness of the build of the sherman. Hell i'm 32 and i cant build a sherman that good. So lets focus on the good stuff. I am sure the westhering will come as he ages. I am sure the enjoyment for him was creating something, not how Worn out or dirty it should be. GREAT JOB!!!!

All I can say is Muy Magnifico. Weathering or not weathering its still very very good, considering he's just 9 anos. Imagine what he could achieve in the the coming yearsr. I hope his interest in modeling continues and improves.

Cheers

Good job to you Pedro for giving your son the oppurtunity and the guidance to learn this great hobby!! As hard as I try ( without being too pushy) I just can't get my daughter interested!

9 years old? Is that 9 in human years or dog years? lol DAMN! An incredible job for a boy at the age of 9, simply brilliant! Keep encouraging him to do more, as the years go by he'll be doing better and better work and we'll love to see it all here.

Congrats to him for his outstanding work! Congrats to you for helping and encouraging him and sharing with him the world of model building! Cheers to you both!

The young man definitely has a talent and the patience and that just at age 9. I guess he'll be turning pro at 10. Well done.

Wow! I wish I could have been able to build such a beautiful model when I was 9! Just a single suggestion though: Take care about that rust on the tracks, it could have been more realistic. But otherwise it is perfect, I could not make such a model now myself at the age of 28!

Congratulations!
