Clifford KeeslerThank you very much James, Daniel, Guillaume, Roland, Murad and WhiteGlint, your kind words are most appericated. I am afarid the factory will be slowing down. With the economy the way it is my wife has gone back to work full time, so I watch the grand kids during the day as she works nights. So kind of puts a kink in my bench time. Can only keep a 3 year old still for so long. Lol.

James CWhat ya need is a long leash attached to a tree on one end, and a collar on the other which is then attached to the 3yr old. Problem solved 😉😛

Guillaume BlanchetLet's hope it get better soon. I got a tree year old myself, it does take a lot of energy to keep them entertained.

Clifford KeeslerAgree with both of you, But I think the 11 y/o and 13 y/o are worse than the 3 y/o. All they do is fight and bicker with each other, at least I have some peace and quiet while they are at school. Lol. I discovered something that keeps the little one entertained, The Grinch. But I suspect I will get sick of it. Lol.

Clifford KeeslerNow my youngest son wants me to build him one of these from his Squadron when he was stationed at Langley AFB., so looks like I will be doing another one in First Fighter Wing markings.

David HAnd just in case I haven't said it already ,Great bird by the way. (PS. I love eagles as well )

Robin (WhiteGlint)Personally I think it is easier with kids around 10 instead of the real young ones.
I don't have kids myself but I had a hard time enteraining my nephew when he was a toddler or at least 5 years or so, but the older he got the easier he was to handle and to entertain, especially after he contracted scale modeling from me. 😄

Clifford Keesler@ David, Phantom's are my favorite, and thank you for your kind words on the Eagle. I hope the next one turns out as nice. @WhiteGlint, you are probally right. My 3 year old granddaughter loves airplanes though, She often asks if she can help me, what a disaster that would be. Maybe a couple of years. All my older grand kids are worried about is video games and cell phones. Lol.

Guillaume Blanchet''All my older grand kids are worried about is video games and cell phones. Lol.''
That's a good reason tools in their hands while they are still young. One thing I use to do with my daughter when she was 6, was to let her paint with the airbrush using some water based paint from the dollar store. We would paint a cheap dinosaurs or any other small toys. Of course you are stuck with cleaning it afterward, but water paint is easy to clean.

Clifford KeeslerThank you very much Mathieu, for your kind words they mean a lot. I am a big Monogram fan, they had some really nice kits.
