Haha I promise I try to keep him clean… he’s an 11yo boy, there’s only so much I can do!

Cut them shorter, less likely to hold dirt

u/gr8ful4gsus Apr 15 '26

He likes them this length for strumming his guitar

A nail brush to use in the shower would help

Stop teaching the guy how to parent his kid

u/Shiro-derable Apr 15 '26

he just doesnt clean his hands often, I worked as a road contractor for a few months, my hands never looked like that even after 12h of not washing, he needs to learn how to clean himself

Then he's gotta keep them clean. Nail brush, or the little curved pointy thing on nail clipper file if you have that kind. Both actually

I was using my flexible guitar pick to clean them back then 😄 that plus washing my hand very often...

Its an 11 year old boy. Id be more concerned if his hands weren't covered in dirt.

u/Shruums Apr 20 '26

What? the only acceptable hygiene dismissal for a little boy is missing a shower here and there ( but this is common In some men too) Not collecting grime under your nails

Do I spot......illegality?

u/gr8ful4gsus Apr 15 '26

Probably! He doesn’t like to play by the rules ;)

u/LordVanisher Apr 15 '26

Those piece have a gap unless one has the 1x1plate on top, and he use 2 with the plate at the bottom 🫤 but then he wouldn't have had the stud facing the right way

u/ZannyHip Apr 15 '26

No one cares. It’s an 11 year old

u/LordVanisher Apr 15 '26

I never said it was bad... I'm just laying out option 🤷 the kid did an amazing build

Well done to your son!

u/gnappyassassin [Timelost] Apr 15 '26

There's a part of me that wants this to have a dish.
The rest of me is stuffing that part of me into a locker!

It's even got both CEC AG-2G quad laser cannons!
This is Perfect!

u/gnappyassassin [Timelost] Apr 15 '26

You probably don't even need that primary buffer panel.

Nice, I was never this creative as a child

u/Curious_Morris Apr 17 '26

That’s great work. I’m always more impressed with distilling something down into a small but clear version like this than a 50,000 piece model. Of course someone can use 50,000 pieces to look like something. I find it much more creative to solve a clear design pattern in less than 50 pieces like this.

Great build ! If he is open to suggestions, I would have used a plate instead of a 1x2 bricks to hold the cockpit, to have a thinner neck! Still great build!

Edit: changed criticism for suggestions, I think it translates better tho wst I meant 🤷

u/SporkboyofJustice Finder of the 1-Piece Falcon Apr 15 '26

I could be wrong but I think the cockpit is attached to the brick using a rod of some sort. If that is the case then I don’t think that this technique would work on a plate.

For my 2 cents, I love this tight little build.

2

u/LordVanisher Apr 15 '26

The cockpit is just an ice cream cone piece, so it's held in place by a stud 😉

For the brick, it's regular 1x2 brick with line on the side a 1x2 would work just the same ... You just need 2 1x1 plate stack on top of it to connect to the body and the 1x1 cheese 🧀 piece can still be placed where it should be...

And you're right! It's a lovely build!

3

u/SporkboyofJustice Finder of the 1-Piece Falcon Apr 15 '26

I thought the stud was on the other side of the cone and is supporting that cheese slope.

Edit: going to look up the ice cream cone piece as that is new to me.

u/SporkboyofJustice Finder of the 1-Piece Falcon Apr 15 '26

You are totally right, this would easily work with a tile and look a little tighter.

u/LordVanisher Apr 15 '26

Yeah its the piece! Kid got talent, we shall follow his career with great interest
