Folks meet Denise, my assembler
Yep, that's my little girl. Her first assembly work was a Tamiya MK II ( see my gallery ). She cuts, trims, sand and glue parts well and this time has taken on a more complex kit - Academy's Sturmgeschutz with armored skirts and intricate brackets. This kit came with lots of ejector marks and gaps which needed filling and I taught her how to use putty and how to dilute it. Needs improvement in that area but I bet she'll get better with the next kit. She gets a hefty cut too if the model sells and guess what she invests in ? Barbie accessories !
Pics of the finished StuG with riders are in my gallery.
Cheers
Patrick

Yo Patrick,
Looks like you finally got someone to do the part of modelling that you are too lazy to do. You lucky guy. Maybe I ought to call her up to find up whether your'e paying at least minimum wages, SOCSO, etc. Talk about exploitation of child labor.
Denise if your'e reading this make sure your Dad is paying you for the work.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.
Your kids can be influenced too. My dad bought me an Airfix set when I was seven and that's how I end up here today.
Beach, of course cash is one way to get her to assemble. She's also a biznez partner and gets a big chunk after deducting expenses.
Sil, better she gets 'addicted' to scale models than the guy in the black jacket riding a cub cai. Don't mind doubling my budget. And what about the started Tiger I you have for sale ?
Regards
Patrick
