I gave my son the dark angels from the new starter set and he started painting them today!! He is going with the Disciples of Caliban color scheme.

When his first models are finished I'll post it up here. I can already tell he has much more talent at his age (10) than I did when I first started (25).

At 10 years old, and for a first model, those are actually rather extraordinary. Your son has a talent! Cultivate it!

Mostly, on my phone.

I've seen "pro" paints on eBay worse than that...

Really impressive, much more patience than either of my nephews managed. However my 4 yr old makes a mean grot tank.

You should be one very proud dad. I'm with you on the camping thing, though somehow Gitsplitta manages both gaming and camping with his. Go figure.

I see a proud father from here... And he have good reasons to be.

I like the colors, just think they are too glossy, try using non-glossy varnish next time. Everything else is awesome

I'm not sure if there is a varnish on them at this point. Think the shine is just from the wash, but I'm not sure. I'll have to take a look at them when I get home to be certain.

It is good that you are encouraging him, and letting him touch your brushes. He will just get better with time.
