discussion My daughter's 1/72 Tiger 1 (she's 10)!

[Guest]

Ok so I was taking a few pics of my stuff and my 10yr old daughter wanted me to take a few of her lil tiger tank. She was 9 when she built it. I seriously can say I did not help her much with it aside from cutting some pieces off the trees with a razor blade cause I wouldn't let her use the blade. Im extremely proud of my lil girl and loved how she watched me working on a model of my own and copied my technique. I had to post it, I personally think its pretty damn good for a 10yr old! lol

That is real good Chris. What is your daughter going to produce in 5 years time. Well done to her. Think that is going to cost dad another model.

Very nice to see young people working with their hands rather than their eyes watching television and all the other distractions a nose attached to an Ipad.

Very nice tiger and a nice bit of weathering as well

Well I think I should hang up my craft knife and side cutters, she puts mine to shame, that is staggering from a 10 yr old, look out moni she's after your crown.

I can see why you're proud of her.

Great little tank from your little princess I would be proud if my kids had done that I can't get mine of Xbox ones 24 the others 14 and when I show them my latest build they always go yeahhhhh that looks alright I must have their attention for all of ten seconds make the most of it while it lasts

 

[Guest]

You must be feeling proud of your daughter Chris, nice build

 

[Guest]

Tell her 'well done' from me, Chris - she's done a great job. My own daughter is now 30-odd, and the other day I found her old modelling tool box. Made me feel all nostalgic for the days when we sat at the dining table together and worked on our various models, though after checking with her I plundered it for anything useful I could find. Enjoy it while you can! I've my eye on the grandkids now, but 4 is a bit young to be let loose with a craft knife and solvents...

Thanks guys for looking and and the nice replies. She kept checking last night to see if anyone said anything about it . She has already said this morning "think anyone else said something about my tiger?" I told her to check when she gets home from school , she was very nervous that no one would like it, but I assured her she would get good reviews. So thanks a lot guys.
