As you know Quinn is infatuated with airplanes and he has always enjoyed models. He has only had the snap-together kind. Today we decided to get a step #2 model which is supposed to have a little bit of gluing and painting involved. Well, let me just say that he is "all over this model" and that's how we spent basically our entire afternoon today. He didn't want to quit. I told him I needed a break and had to make supper. He put 1 hour on the microwave timer and said that our break would be over at that time! Man... is he a slave driver or what?! However, there are over 200 pieces and it is all gluing! We are picking and chosing which things to paint. I've never put together a model, nor have I ever desired to put together a model, but we are using some team work to get this done. Tony enjoyed models when he was a kid. I know he would enjoy helping him but the poor guy just works too much right now. I'm learning too. Tony asked me tonight why we got such a big plane (the wing span is about 16 inches). I told him I thought if we got a bigger plane, that the pieces would be bigger and easier to handle than a little model with itty-bitty pieces. He had to smile and said that the bigger models just have MORE pieces, not less!! I guess that proves my lack of model building. Live and learn! We will get this done though and will show you the end result... it may be awhile though!

Too funny about you finding out the bigger the plane, the more the pieces. ha ha
3 Hrs. of work and that's all you've got accomplished? I'll definitely be interested to see it when it's done. It'll be so cool!
He's got to enter this in 4-H!!!!That would be one project down!
