Finished - Acura Integra

COMPLETED BY MY 2 SONS!!

My sons Nathan and Dustin (ages 10 and 8) completed their first glue together model tonight. I sprayed the body for them, and helped them with the 2 large decals on the side. The rest was done completely by them. They even used Need For Speed Underground to pick the color that looked best with the red decals supplied in the kit.

Dustin wanted the seats to have elephant skin decals by SMS, so I walked him through making the templates out of masking tape, and placing them. He picked it up quick and did a great job. There are some parts of their build I am envious of. Their headlights came out 100% better than mine.

Please be gentle. They'll be reading any comments after they get
home from school tommorow.
If they keep it up they'll be whooping my tail at model contests!!

Thanks for looking! :)

Way to go Nathan and Dustin, I see they are following very close to Dad's footsteps. Keep up the good work and hope to see more of your stuff here.

Coolness! :sunglasse

Now everyone knows your secret to building so many models in such a short amount of time. C'mon, out with it...we all know you've been getting the boys to do your sub-assemblies, right?! :icon16: :evillol:

I guess your modeling budget has just tripled overnight?! Good to see gasoline running through the veins of the next modeling generation.

those are stunning, great work at such a young age! we will be seeing some great work from these two in no time

crazy!! 10 and 8? way better than me! good job guys!

Just beautiful! I love the color scheme. The seats are especially impressive - and close to the funny patterns Honda likes to put on their seats! A great model, for sure, and if they can get those wheels on they're ready for anything any model kit can throw at them. I love the last picture, something I'd expect to see in front of Food Lion out in SoCal. Great work!

You are blessed, I know my brother and I NEVER got along well enough to do anything like that. I'm impressed! My bro is more of an airplane guy anyways.... :screwy:

Thats Awsome love the color combos! :)

8 and 10! You got to be kiddin! They'll be whooping the tails of lots of guys here at the model contest :)

Top notch job. Looks like you have some prospects on your hands!

Great stuff Nathan and Dustin! Chips off the old block. :)

Those boys are giving me a 'need for speed' with that car, it looks awesome!

You guys did an Awesome job!!!! can't wait to see what you 2 build next!

You better not get them a lathe for Christmas, or they will turn into Steve. Will this model be attending NNL? It looks fantastic!

Fantastic work guys.... you should be really proud of yoursleves. The model looks great and making patterns for seat decals is a real challenge. Great Job.

I could not agree more with Eric, he took the words right out of my mouth!! Nathan and Dustin, you need to bring the car to the show saturday, maybe it can get photographed for the magazine!! Great job guys!!!!!!!! Uncle Ol' Dude

That looks really good. Good job :)

You have to keep them interested in modeling and they will one day build models that are even better than the current elite in this forum. :D :)

That is a heck of a job, I wish I could have started at their ages. Great work guys and congratulations on becoming better modeler's than you dad....J/K !

yup, it looks awesome, I very much like the sleek style of it, and hey, there is absolutely nothing to point out that could have been done better !

Well done, guys.

That's great ! (except the orange turn signals)
It must be cool to build models in family, better than playing cards :)

Can we see more pictures of the red/white/blue Integra? Those are really nice. I've been getting my son into modeling, too. He built his first one last year when he turned 9. They learn quick those little ones.

Youth coolness!!:sunglasse

Thanks for all the great responses guys, I can't wait for them to get home from school and read all this. They'll be excited!

It was a fun experience supervising them. Answering all the mechanical/technical questions they had was a challenge. But they learned a lot.

I finished my Teg almost a year and a half ago. Ironically, it was a birthday present from my sons. The thread for it is here:
