The Titanic Model...

Last Spring, Walker saved up and bought a Titanic model with his own money and there were many nights that looked like this...

School ended and then he lost interest when he discovered Minecraft.  Summer happened and another year of school started. The first story in their reading book was about the Titanic and he got a renewed interest.  Especially when the librarian told him that when he finished the model he could bring it to the library and display it in the glass cases.

Last weekend he worked really hard painting it just right...

And while he wanted to paint every little thing, we decided on just the "big areas" for his first model painting.  I didn't know if he'd have the patience to sit and paint and wait and paint.  But he did and Sunday night it was finished...

Monday morning off to school we went all smiles to show his class and put it in the display case.  I love how the librarian put it right by all the ship books...
