The Starting Point

So around the time of the bootcamp I went to Broadside Wargames show in Sittingbourne and picked up the Hit the Beach starter set.  I recently sat down and built the Shermans (3 x 76mm and 5 x 75mm) and my currently 8 year old (soon to be 9) wanted to help with the building.  Well I rush based the infantry last week so that I could play a game with them on Friday.  On Saturday my son pushed to want to play the game, we agreed (my wife not being keen on him getting too involved) on him starting with painting.  So we sat down outside to build the Germans.  Lesson number one was how to use the side clippers with the sprues to cut out the tank parts.  I did the glueing.  By the end of Saturday we had assembled everything in the box.  Next is on to the painting and getting him to be careful in how he uses his brush.
