Thomas' 1st model!! (SnapTite Xwing)

[Drpepeprz]

Today I helped my son Thomas build his 1st model, the SnapTite X-Wing from Revell.

Thomas is 9 and is a high functioning autistic boy, he wasn't sure he'd like it at first (his current fixation is on Yu-Gi-Ho battle cards) but once we got startedm there was no stopping it, he read the whole instruction book to know more about the model, and was trying to understand how everything worked...It was a real pleasure so see him interested in something different that i can relate to!

here are some pics, look at the pride in his face!





Now, he wants some sith ships to turn his room into an all out war!! ;D
