He slept till noon as teens do on the weekends
Waking and making coffee, then staring at the table stacked with parts and assemblies drying.
The smell of model glue in the air had faded overnight. The teen sat on the couch looking over at the table as if waiting for permission to continue building.
The previous night was a flurry of trimming, glue dabbing, and setting things off to the side to dry.
The morning brought apprehension as to whether he could start or if he should wait for the go ahead.
Then there was the topic of where we left off and what to do next.
The dashboard, steering column and tediously small decals were dry. Now the door panels would support the instrument panel before the seat assemblies are build.
It is time to assemble each cockpit seat, the gearshift and review the final checklist before fitting the body onto the chassis.
The seats are not hard to put together, but you do have to get the right and left side parts in the right places. The young man had learned early - always try the parts before applying glue.
Once you know for sure how it is supposed to fit, then make it permanent!
The dash and seats are drying - time to install the headlights before capping it up. Careful with the paint job!
There is nothing worse than having a part go out of place when you are stretching and pulling door panels in order to drop the body-work down onto the chassis. It is critical that all is in place and solid.
We will put the two halves together when all is dry !
She will be on her wheels next post
This post is out late because we had a huge day and got home late last night. My son hit a milestone right-of-passage yesterday evening. Can you say Glock 9mm? Something his big brother has not even done.
Sponge-bob is admirable the work that, reminds me when I helped my children to make their models of work for school, that you have to be very thorough and detailed.
Or when I made my bracelets, sarcillos which is also very laborious.
I hope to see the final work, and I'm still trying to remember that there was a television series that named a lot a red corvette.
I used to work on cars all the time. Now I don't even drive but my kids love to learn about the inner workings of cars. Models is the best I can do for now. (next post is about a shooting range).
If children are curious and better to satisfy that curiosity with parents. My son plays a lot of mechanics, with imaginary cars, he wants to be a mechanic.
What a tiny pieces, the skill, the patience to assemble these cars, I love it is a good time shared with the family. @sponge-bob
Vaya que piezas tan pequeñitas, la habilidad, la paciencia para armar estos carros, me encanta son un buen momento compartido en familia. @sponge-bob
I am very happy that they choose to spend time with me as their lives get busier. They have school, girls, and work. Lucky that similar DNA gives us similar interests!
It's nice to follow your stories, ranging from tasty meals, games, activities with children. Thank you @sponge-bob
What a wonderful job which requires a lot of patience and dedication to see the result. A good way to entertain and educate children in a trade. Many successes.
Yes. My boys go to a technical school to learn how to design and build things. It is a joy to add to what they learn there. I just finished the last post - go see the car we built!
