Default My Wife's First Time

Well, she finally did it! I talked her in to trying a paper model. She loves animals so we printed out a tortoise from Yamaha.

Rare Animals Of The World | YAMAHA MOTOR

She was a little tentative and frustrated at first but soon got into the swing!
She's very pleased with the result:



I think it's a job well done

Cheers,
Bruce

That looks very good.
Now, just think of all the other animal models that are out there screaming to be built.

Congratulate her from me. She has done a great work.

Which is the next one?

Thanks, everyone! When I told Cathy I would tell you all that I didn't think she was hooked, she said "Wait a minute-I want to make some more animals...and I have the Pantheon and Parthenon, the Florence Duomo..."

Well, I guess we'll be going around the world- at least in paper- the next year or so

Cheers!
Bruce

Thanks, Mark, and everyone else- I am reading your postings to her over the phone at work right now and she is thrilled, as am I. Now if I can talk her into doing a build thread on that Parthenon

Cheers!
Bruce (and Cathy)
