My 13 year old son was at our house all day with his Aunt yesterday and didn't want to get on his phone, tablet or Xbox like he usually does sooooooooooo...............he went into the hobby room and grabbed the Raptor kit that I bought him at the end of June and went to work. Evidently he worked on it trying to turn out the best build he could. When I got home last night he met me out in the drive way and led me into the hobby room to proudly show off his creation to me. I guess he's really gotten into the last couple of builds that I've been working on and wanted to follow suit. He was so happy with the results that I couldn't help but to clean it up just a smidgen more, take some glamour shots and put it on his computer as wallpaper and build a screen saver for him and to post it here for him. Hope you guys enjoy it.

This is what he started with:

I must say that I've been pleasantly surprised with the level of detail in the "Max" kits. Lotsa goodies in there for a Snap Tite kit.

and a shot of the interior. Again not bad for a snap kit:

Now that is cool - he did a grand job! He should be proud.

That's really cool that he met you on the driveway to show you - that's a great father/son moment.

Oh Great!.....Now you have him building car/trucks...Sheesh. But, it does look outstanding. Well done, young man. . . unless he is 35 and living in your basement.

He did a great job. Let him know. His work looks better than the box cover, for sure. He built that kit as clean and professionally as possible. You are right about the details. There is a nice level of fidelity to the source as well.
