My family hobby

My family hobby

Add to favorites
This is all started more than 8 years ago, after my brother was born. My dad bought a model of the house, when he was abroad in a business trip. It wasn’t a ready-made house, you had to make it from numerous pieces. At that time I was so young so It seemed to me impossible to assemble the house from such little pieces. My dad really helped me. In the pictures you can see houses, churches and other buildings, which we made 6 or more years ago.Now my brother is very interested in tanks, cars and planes. My dad teaches him how to build models of them. They use special glue to attach plastic details to each other. Then the most exiting part comes. All details are usually in boring colour: grey or dark green. Fortunately I used to have painting classes, so I understand how the paint works. All designs are created by my brother. My father just adds some realistic features to make the model look similar to the real one. In the picture you can also see a passenger plane. It was so hard to make it white. I spend hours painting it, but I really like the result. One of our latest models is yellow modern small plane, which is used by the military forces. The color chose is really good, I’m glad that my brother got this idea. Our latest project is German plane of World War || times. But we are still working on it. We want to make a spaceship, but we haven’t decided yet.
Do you like our family hobby? Do you have one in your family?

Dear Ksiusha,
It was so interesting to read about your family hobby, and I was impressed by the quality of the models you make.

Your text is fluent, but, please, give more attention to the little things, such as work order, articles, spelling, etc.

I also recommend to start a new line each time you change the subject matter.

The total score is 1216 points, and you are awarded an ICAN WINNER sticker plus one more for being the first.
