You go girl, don't let dad do all the painting, it's the best bit, very messy.


We're all watching o_O

A very nice Easter bunny Lucy and a great photo of you sanding the wheels keep up the good work

[Guest]

Thank you for the nice comments, they make me happy .


Tonight we glued the back of the wheels on and sanded them for daddy to prime (and daddy scribed the body lines!!). Tomorrow I will paint them.


On Saturday I will be going to the model show in Perth with Daddy to see if there is any star wars and star trek models for mummy!

Good job on fiddly bits, glad to see you are doing things properly, always a good thing to do.

It's coming along really well Lucy. I'm enjoying watching this and I can't wait to see some more. But don't be rushing it, take your time and you'll end up with a great model.

She has really enjoyed the comments guys, thanks.


It has been hard to keep her interested past maybe 10 mins a time, she starts off good but like me as a kid gets distracted and then rushes a bit but I don't want to get frustrated and put her off. I know when it comes together a bit she will become more interested.


Again, thanks for helping motivate her

[Guest]

I like your comments, thank you!


Here is my update:


Daddy spray painted the body (nicer than brushing).My Daddy sanded the wheels with me.

That is fantastic Lucy. You are doing really well at that. Make sure when daddy does some of it he does it properly. We don't want him going and messing it up do we. Keep a close eye on him.

[Guest]
