When Birthdays and Christmas approach these days, I find myself intentionally looking at presents that will get my son off of YouTube or his X-Box and into something more creative and tangible. Over the past few years I bought him all the classics; jigsaws, chess sets and, most recently, a 1/10th scale Tamiya R/C assembly kit.
I actually bought a Monster Beetle five or six years ago, which was a great challenge to build and so rewarding once complete, however, my son was too young to get involved in that one. Having recently turned 11, I figured picking up another Tamiya kit to build together would be a great way
