Ethan Builds With Grandpa

[Jimsky]

Today grandpa and I finished my first ship model. We put on the sticks and the sails. Here are some pictures:

Wow! Big congratulations, Captain Ethan (and your grandpa, of course)! You finished your very first model. What an amazing job! You should be super proud of yourself. It takes patience, focus, and creativity - and you’ve got all three! Can’t wait to see what you build next. Full speed ahead, captain!

Ethan -
First, congratulations on graduating from UPK! My Admiral retired last year after 46 years of teaching Kindergarten and UPK. I bet she would go back to work again if she knew she could have you in her class!

And your ship! She is absolutely beautiful! You even have the flags flying the right way - there are a lot of grown-ups that get that one wrong!

Two big accomplishments right in a row. You must be really proud. I'm certain that Grandpa is. I can't wait to read about your next adventure!

Congratulations for finishing your first sailing ship model. I hope you had a lot of fun during the build and take another kit from your grandpa.

Way to go Ethan. You can definitely teach your Grandpa a thing or two on how to build a ship .

Congratulations on your graduation as well.
Cheers Grant

Great work on the ship, hope your Grandpa learns to keep his card in camera in future to get better photos of your fine work.

Great job Ethan ! It looks fantastic !

Looks like Paul is also giving us a hint on his next project. That is a HUGE frame !
You building a scratch built 1/32 next?

 

[Peter Gutterman]

Well done, Ethan. That and your graduation from Pre-k. Two things to be proud of all at once!

Today grandpa and I finished my first ship model. We put on the sticks and the sails. Here are some pictures:

Grandpa is a bit of a fanatic about how I hold the cutters :

And I think sanding is very important:

I just blow the sanding dust off my fingers:

All the sticks are on:

Next, I cut out the sails all by myself. Grandpa says I have to take my time, but sometimes I just like to go fast:

Grandpa said I did a good job on the sails. You have to count to ten when you hold the glue:

Here I am with my new pirate ship model. I can't wait to take it home and show my dad.

Grandpa says he has more ship models I can work on if I want. Let's see if I ask him to make another one...

Thank you for reading about my pirate ship and for sending me nice messages. Grandpa read every one to me.

Lucky me that I didn’t have to wait very long to see the finishing of your model, Ethan. That looks very nice!
And congratulations with your Graduation. I enjoyed watching the video.
Up to a new model!
Regards, Peter

Kia Ora Ethan, congratulation on graduating from Pre-K and for leading the way on how to encourage others to take up the hobby from the get-go. Also for showing us the proper way to construct a pirate ship.
IMHO your post has been the bestest ever Build Log on this forum.
Jellybeans n Ice-Cream to you for a wonderful build. Cheers from Aotearoa down under.
