Adventures in Scale Modeling

I think everyone who reads this knows of Mike's great love (and, in my opinion, wonderful talent) for scale modeling. From the time Alex was a teeny tiny little baby Mike has talked of "one day" getting the boys some models to build. He has built special airplanes for both the boys and probably has so many more projects planned to involve them in that I have no clue about. At any rate, a few weeks ago he thought it would be fun to get some little snap kits that the boys could paint. We found some fun sporty little car models that also seem pretty durable (of extreme importance with kids under age 4!) and Mike put them together, well mostly together anyway. He didn't glue the tops on just yet, but left the cars in 2 separate pieces so that the boys could paint the inside AND the outside. Alex's car was molded from red plastic and Ben's from blue. Alex had a blast painting his own car, Ben really just wanted to play with his. At any rate, here are some pictures from the painting session. Enjoy!
