Model

Across the road from Hannah's doctor in Yau Ma Tei is a plastic model shop called Continental Models.   For a former schoolboy (who never quite achieved his dream of building a large-size model of the Bismarck),  it is a great place to wait for Hannah and Rika.

On our last visit Hannah surprised me by wanting to visit the shop, and then by hunting for a model to build.    She ignored the Bismarck and eventially chose a model of an SUV car, and appropriate paints and brushes.    (All with zero encouragement from me by the way - I wanted to her to come hiking or play tennis).

She then decided that Hannah and Daddy would make-up the model over the weekend.   Which we duly did,  in two sessions.

The model was rated 'modeling skills helpful if under 14 years of age'.  But actually Hannah did a careful job of cutting-out and painting the pieces, and glueing them together.  

So I was actually quite impressed by the finished product.   And I have to admit Hannah was right - it was quite fun to build it together.
