So, I want to a local hoby shop with my 7 year old son, Matthew, to get a jar of paint for a current truck project. While I was looking for the correct paint, Matthew was looking over the car kits. I knew by the look on his face that he really wanted to get a kit, but the shop we were in didn't have a large sellection of snap kits (hey, he's 7), so after I purchased the paint, we went to another shop which has a larget snp kit collection. He started to look over their kits, but was having a hard time deciding between the Revell '57 Chevrolet 210 & the Revell Chevrolet Impala Police Car. He decided on the Impala. I think he made a good choice.

We finished it today after lunch. I used the hobby knife & put on the long, skinny stickers; but he did all the rest. I think we made a good team.

Looks like he did a good job. He should be ready for the next generation II campaign.

Great! Another next generation builder to keep this hobby alive

And yes, a clean build too. BTW, is this kit 1/25 or 1/32?

Thanks, guys. I'll pass on the kind words. I really hope he will be part of the Next Generation.

Ed, that's the Revell 1/25 Snap-Tite kit.

Hi James. Please tell Matthew that my 8yo boy Liam loves his police car, and I am now on the hunt for one for him too !

Great job Matthew, you made a very nice little model, very neat work. You should be proud !

Cheers, Damian

Thanks, Damian. I'll pass the word.

Jim

Excellent police car, Matthew, very neatly done

What's next dad?

Thanks, Jim, I'll pass the word.

What's next? Not sure. He said that he wanted to do an ambulance, or maybe another 1/32 Mack CF600 pumper but this time in "Slime Lime". That's a direct quote, too! He also expressed some interest in a Tiger tank, but I don't know of any snap armor.

Jim

The Next Generation II campaign/group build is awaiting approval, hopefully Matthew will sign up for that (under dad's name is fine). There will be 'prizes' too

We'll see what happens.
