Nice model FLU. No kids of my own, but I have posted in other threads that my 9yo niece is building card models, she has built some of webdudes models, a cat and other easyish models. But I would like to say a sarcastic (just kidding) thank you to who ever posted the disney castle as picture of the week a cople of weeks ago. She now wants to have a go at that model. I am trying to put her off, as I think it will be to hard for her, but as kids are nowadays she thinks she can build anything.

Kudos to the daughter. That is a nice looking build. Get'em hooked when they're young.

Fluthecrank, please give your daughter a "top effort" from me. That Chihuahua is really good.
