Ethan Builds With Grandpa

[dockattner]

Hello everyone!

My name is Ethan, and I am five years old. When you're five you can't be a member of Ships of Scale, but my grandpa is a member, so he is letting me use his log-in credentials. Secretly grandpa is hoping this will dilute his following so some of the pressure will be taken off of him to make nice ship models.

I have been asking grandpa for a while now when I can build a ship just like him. Grandpa told me I had to wait until I am five. There are lots of other rules that grandpa has (no one is allowed to touch anything on his worktable - especially me and Damian and Ellie) but the only rule I care about is the five-year-old rule.

Oh, did I mention that I turned five last month!

Today grandpa and I started our first ship model. I picked it from the pile because grandpa said it would only take two days to make. I have the attention span of a five-year-old so grandpa says I made a good choice.

Here we go:















I'll be back in two weeks.

Wow, Ethan! Even though the kit says it's for kids 8 and up, you took on the challenge like a champ! Just like your grandpa, you're doing an amazing job on your very first ship model. Bravo, captain!

 

[Rebus]

Ethan, wonderful work. I look forward to your continued build of this ship.

 

[Philski]

Great job Ethan! You're on your way now!

Welcome Ethan!

I have the same kit in my pile, and I have been shamed by a 5 year old...

Well done Ethan

Great job Ethan! Just don’t let grandpa work on it, he tends to overthink, over analyze and replace everything in the kit. You keep it simple buddy!

 

[ConsNZ]

Goodness gracious Ethan, you built that Pirate ship without a table covering or cutting mat. Absolutely brilliant! much better than Grandpa did when he was 5. Oh, and a very belated Happy Birthday to you.

Ethan writes very well for his age! His ship building is great! Plus he already has a tattoo!

He has put me to shame!

AHA! I have redeemed myself, my kit is the Black Pearl with an eyewatering 112 parts...

Still Ethan has still whooped me when it comes to the assembly!!

Excuse me while I wipe a tear away. This is every grampa's dream. Your ship is beautiful Ethan! (Just be sure to clean up the sanding dust before Grandma comes home from shopping!) Happy birthday!

 

[Hoss6262]

Your ship is beautiful Ethan! I think you have some of your Grandpa's skills. Can't wait to see the next ship you build!
