Well sometimes you have to start small but get started we did. My son picked out and built this Star Wars AT Walker from a laser cut kit. Took him just over an hour to complete the 48 steps. He experienced frustration, excitement, and acccomplishment so he is just like the rest of us...ha ha. I picked up some electric kits in Toledo so look for a dad and son build thread soon as I start him in the hobby. He got done and asked where the first plane was so we could get started. I think he is hooked! His name is Warren and he is 7 years old.

Cute kid, you can't start them too soon.  Lucky you to have your son in the hobby with you

Great way to get started!  The challenge will be to keep him away from video games.
