GENET Tabletop gaming model collection

[zathros]

You know what's been going om with me, and all that. this thread is wonderful. it shows what fathers/mothers could be making for their children, with their young ones. they will last for years, take om the battle damage of children playing, then easily restored.

I gave my flight instructor's son a model of a "Lotus Europa" when he was 8 years old. I visited him last years, now a wonderful teenager, he ran back to his room, and pulled out the "Lotus Europa" car I had made almost a decade earlier, he treasured it, a little bit of moisture damaged, I wanted to spruce back up for him, but he was already putting it back ion the special he kept at.

Such a small thing brought so much pleasure. My flight instructor is a wonderful father. He impressed on his son that that model could not be purchased and I spent hours making it for him.
His son took that too Heart, nut I told him to play with it, and if he ever needed fixed to have his father call me. I never received a call, as it was and is so special too him.

So is it with these models. I know you and how you give from your heart, these are wonderful, specially greebled models that will last for decades possibly.

Too right you are. The GENET collection is a great (long lasting) project that parents can work on with (or for) their children. The main reason why I started this thread, is to show that these models can be built either "as-is" or "greebled out" These model templates are also a great way to teach those who are interested in paper/cardstock model building, all that can be done with this hobby (and still walk away with a very nice looking model).

Many times I am asked what I do with the models that I have built. Some I keep, some I have given away, and a few have had (very unfortunate) accidents.

With that being said, I like giving them to children (as well as adults) that are actually interested in a particular model (or models). When I was in Wroclaw, PL, I had given my entire Thunder Fighter collection (as well as a few other models) to the children of a friend (shortly before I returned to the US). Needless to say, the children were over the moon elated.

Yes Genet did a fine job with the design templates for these models. Great way to get beginners into paper modeling.
