On Saturday, I gave my dad his first kit: the steam engine. We went straight to the store to get some paint and markers so he could start painting it. Saturday evening, he got started right away and painted some parts first. He sorted them very carefully so they could dry and he could easily find the parts again (he didn’t get that from me, because it’s always a complete mess when I’m building).
Nice job! I really love it that he’s paying so much attention to the details. That’s awesome! I am totally with you on that disorganization part. I am a hot mess when I’m building.
I really think he painted the small details well. He found it very difficult and was amazed at how I managed to paint it so accurately. When I see him on Thursday, I’ll explain to him how to paint the small details well.
I don’t know the brand, it has a very large “acrylic” sticker on it but no brand. We bought this at Action, which is a very cheap store. Usually the acrylic markers aren’t good at this shop, but these looked different and when I tested them they seemed to cover well.
I’m really curious to the end result too. We dont have a lot of time to build together because my parents live one hour drive away. I see them every Thursday because they look after my daughter while I’m at work and when i’m done we eat together, but after that I always have to rush home to put my daughter to bed
actually it was my father who made it
