Ainsty Broken Robot
« on: February 26, 2014, 06:58:52 AM »
I posted this on my blog & thought that I would share it here.

My 6 year old son, Tom, has just finished this Ainsty Broken Robot.
I helped him with some bits & we talked through what to do & why, but 80% of the work is his.




I must say i'm impressed with the result. Just need to get him painting armies!!

Good work from dad too. A master and his apprentice eh? 8)

Thats a cool robot wreck and the patch of flowers adds a little pathos.

Tom rocks.  Whats he painting next?  A non-broken robot maybe?
