Hi.

Well done both of you.

What a nice surprise for mum and dad.

Give yourself a big pat on the back Greg for sharing your time and knowledge.

And you have opened up another part of her mind to skills and modeling. She may become like so many females on this forum. Very skilled modelers.

 

Regards Antony.

Who will probably find missing parts sooooooooo much easier as they don't have "boy looks"!

my two grandsons got me a snap together model of the Black Diamond for Christmas {Revell}.    I built it......adding rigging,  since it didn't come with any.   my son told me it was their idea.......their choice.   they love to come over and look at my boats.....I sometimes take any one they question off the shelf,  to a lower table,  and we talk about it.   on one of my outings to the hobby store,  I picked up two snap together cars for them to try.  times and schedules being as hectic as they are,  we kept missing one another.......that is until a day came where we were asked to do a bit of babysitting.   it was the younger one's birthday {or as close as can be}....so he had presents from us as well.  we had fun building the cars.......they even got to roll them around on the floor...fun time!   Tripp's presents was these two large lego sets.......we had even more fun putting those together  

 

it was my pleasure to follow your grand daughter's build.   the youth today are very creative.........and if one can bring it out......then you are to be commended for introducing them to crafting { I was going to say at the beginning,  that there are many different type of wood working,  but I didn't want to douse the flame}.  kudos to you.

 

 

Thanks for the comments. It sounds like you had a great time with your grandkids as well.
