BlrwestSiR Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 So my 6 year old son is working on a Revellogram 1/72 F-14 snap kit and blurts out " Whoever made this kit did a terrible job! I can't get my cutters around the (sprue) tab as it's in a stupid place." This is one of the few snap kits he's put together. He's built a few regular kits already but this was out of a loot bag from his birthday party so I thought would be a quick build. I think I've let the monster out of the cage and he'll be demanding only Tamiya or Hasegawa kits from here on. Carl 9

BlrwestSiR Posted April 27, 2019 Author Posted April 27, 2019 So true guys. No requests yet for AM but it's only a question of time... This morning I go woken up because my oldest Findlay wanted a sanding stick as Edward wasn't sharing. It turns out they'd woken up at 630 and raided the stash. Thankfullybi have some older 1/72 Hasegawa kits so good practice for them. Carl 7
ScottsGT Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Awesome!! I tried with my boys, but PlayStation won in the end. 5
Bomber_County Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Me thinks the good stash needs to be secured........... 5

The good stash is all in big kits so they're harder for them to pull out. For now at least... 2 hours ago, Jeff said: I was going to say the exact same thing...................

Their interest in cars have already started. Findlay was recently upset at the possiblity that autonomous cars might eliminate his chance at learning to drive in 8 years. We told him truly self driving cars are much further away and not to worry. 4

This pic is from a couple years ago. It's when my wife briefly considered one for our family car. She figured since they could buckle up Thier seatbelts on their own a Challenger would be fine. Changed her mind when she saw the mileage. Maybe we'll try again in a couple years... 4 minutes ago, harv said: Awesome Carl ! I tried with my grandson moons ago, but gaming is his thing.....hatv Thanks Harv! They play the odd game but we've managed to limit their time on tablets and what have you. With some recent studies having come out on the impact of mobile devices and TV on really young kids, we're kind of glad too. 4
Martinnfb Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Now you are in a big trouble Carl I love the expression in their faces, priceless. Pure mischief/happiness , best things ever 4
