I wanna be Dave
I couldn't hold out any longer, so I finally took the plunge. After watching our 5 year old little guy (let's call him Roo) finish the Lego Maersk container ship (1500+ pieces) solo on Christmas Day before dinner with almost no help, I figured this would be a good first build for him. This one will go at his pace, so have patience.
First, let's start with the box. It's quite a small box for such a big tiny truck, especially compared with tinier tiny trucks like the TF2, Gelande D90, SCX10, etc.

I tried to hide my disappointment from Roo, because he didn't seem to mind. Since Roo sometimes doesn't like to follow the same instructions that everyone else follows and often chooses the hard way because the easy way can be boring (I wonder where he gets that from), I thought I should keep a close eye in this build. Looks like he already picked out some things to do differently. I wonder what he has up his little sleeve.

So it was off to work for Roo, starting with the tranny...


What's that? I guess he decided that he liked shifting the TF2 so much that he wanted to do it on this one. Like I said...doesn't like to follow the same instructions as everyone else.
Then it was onto the axles...

Looks like he's making progress on his big tiny truck. Can't wait to see what other surprises he has up his little sleeve.
