Ethan Builds With Grandpa

[Namabiiru]

Ethan, you should tell Grandpa how great the extra glow in the dark paint would look on Le Saint Philippe. Then you can have matching models!

Ethan, hope kindergarten is a joy every day. I look forward to seeing how your glow in the dark ship comes out.

Anyway, I guess we will both just need to enjoy the time we get to work together and not be worried about how long it takes.

Very nice to see you here again with a new build, Ethan. And you are graduated in 4 months from a 8+ to a 10+ build. For sure you can make this ship, with some help of your grandpa. It seems to be that he's very good with model kits. But some of them took him more than a year to finish ..... Kindergarten is also fun. So, that is double fun in the next weeks/months.
Regards, Peter

I want a glow in the dark ship too.

You can paint your Enterprise when it's done.

Great idea Jeff. I researched for Glow in the Dark paint for Grant in S. Africa. Now he has no excuse .

Hi guys, thanks for encouraging Ethan. I'll be sure to read all of your posts to him the next time we work on his ship together. This is a great hobby with some truly remarkable people participating in it.

He really does try to do his best, so I think he could be a really good modeler one day (if he decides to stick with it).

Hi everyone!

Today grandpa and I started our second ship model. I picked this one because it is a glow-in-the-dark ghost ship! Grandpa says it is the paint that glows in the dark, but I don't understand because the box clearly shows a ship glowing in the dark.

Well, it turns out this kit is way too hard for me. There are too many pieces, and they are hard to cut out and even harder to put together. After about half an hour I asked grandpa if I could be done and he said yes.

Grandpa said that next time he would have the parts cut out and ready to go and I can just put the pieces together with his help.

Here is what we did today:

But now there is a problem - I am starting kindergarten very soon and that means I can't come to stay with grandma and grandpa during the week. After spending all of last week with grandpa on vacation he doesn't seem to be troubled by my limited visitation schedule - but grandma is very sad. Oh, grandpa says I can't sit next to Ellie anymore when we eat.

Anyway, I guess we will both just need to enjoy the time we get to work together and not be worried about how long it takes.

Thanks for visiting me and my glow-in-the-dark ghost ship!

Make sure you install a great Black Light - it'll make that glow-in-the-dark really stand out!

But don't burn your eyes out.
