A little while ago a guy named Toshi who I know from FSM and the east side of Cleveland where I was working passed away. He had been teaching his grandson how to build models and it made me think hey I should see if my 6yr old nephew Clayton would like to build a model. This build is for Toshi & his grandson Ezra.
Asked Clayton back in November when visiting my mom and he said sure. He wanted to build a dinosaur, a Spinosaurus is what he wanted. Made popular by the latest Jurssic Park movie. I said I'd see if I could find one. He said, "it has to be a meat eater, NO plant eaters" he emphasized!

Had a look around and the only plastic one i found was fairly expensive. When i visited again in December he brought it up and asked if I had found anything. That sealed it, off i went to order the Spinosaurus.

I brought the model up to his place and we got started on it. He was excited and worked on the whole thing. When we sat down and he opened the box he said “now it’s time to be a big boy”! This thing must weigh 3 or 4 pounds. The body is solid, not hollow. We needed a little painters tape to keep the tail in place lol

Letting it dry overnight and then time to paint it. I brought a bunch of Vallejo model color and a couple brushes for him to use [😄]

our finished model by Chris and Clayton, Pegasus' 1/24 Spinosaurus. It was 17 parts all together. Perfect for a 6 year old. It needed some adult help in that there was a bunch of flash in the hole for the head that needed cleared away before it would fit. The rest was almost a snap fit for him, the pieces are clocked so they can only go together one way.

can you believe he stayed focussed the whole time. Had a great morning and he was so proud to tell his dad he "painted it all myself"! I believe we may have a new modeler in our midst.
