vintagebackyardrc 135 Posted November 30, 2021 So...this one has been the best experience ever. I have been trying to think of myself as a kid sitting there with my dad building my 1st Hornet while we are building this. I learned so many things from these little cars over the years...and could not be more proud of her for having the desire to not just enjoy the hobby with me but take it fully on by the reins. Hope you guys like this one...it's my favorite so far. [media] 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18803 Posted November 30, 2021 Well done! She narrates very clearly too, a natural at voiceovers, easy to understand and follow! Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simalarion 2194 Posted November 30, 2021 Biught an C.Avante for my daughter recently but 6 years is a bit to early (for her anyway) so mostly she just «helped out». But i hope she will enjoy learning to drive it so we can have some quality time there. Great stuff! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yalson 514 Posted December 1, 2021 Ha ha! What a star! My daughter is only 5 and a smidgen young for building a car, but she claims to be a scientist and she is driving already, so maybe soon. Until then, Dad will just have to keep buiding them until he can find one she can't break! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperChamp82 743 Posted December 8, 2021 Interesting thread guys Its a few years ago now but I tried seeing the kit as something little hands could feel empowered tucking into So I put aside the way I’d normally weigh up quality, value or performance The goal became me helping out as little as possible - with safe / simple tools that shouldn’t slip in learning hands Our two girls ended up having a blast building a Scooby Doo Lunchbox and 007 Aston Martin TT02 respectively - the latter Tamiya’s First Try kit And both of which I gently restored - after they were utterly trashed 😂 - and their interests moved on These days their cars sit with the rest of my Tamiya display in my office - making both kids (now older) grin when they pop in - because we both remember the time together + they see I’ve hung onto it 😇 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
