The best video ever, huh Paul, can only imagine your feelings upon seeing that.

A Boy too :th: You gotta go for a Girl next :)

Sincere Congratulations and best wishes.

Congratulations, By the looks of it he has your nose :)

I have 2 sons myself(one 16 and 1 13 now) fatherhood is an amazing thing, and the great thing about this kit is not only obtaining it is great ;) but the downside is it doesn't come with any instructions..

Any thoughts on names? Revell? Tamiya, Hasagawa?

Having a child is underrated. When my son was on the way I thought my life would change forever(it's true in some ways) and I would do completely different things. I thought I would have no time at all for my hobbies. Now, 6 months later, I can surely say that i'm doing the same things as I did before. I still put models together, I still watch football, F1 and I still watch movies. The only thing that's changed is that I do those things in some lesser extent. I'm looking forward to the times when I can share my hobbies with my son, that will be great.

So do not be anxious about what all other people say like "Forget your own life" and "sell all your kits(yeah right!) cause youll never have the time" and so on. Things will change, but only to the better :)

Massive congrats to you both!!! :cheers2: :cheers2: :cheers2:

That's got to be your best build yet! When we had our kids a lot of people told us to prepare ourselves as our lives would change dramatically, but my wife and I decided that the baby would fit into our lives and not the other way round. After all, you put the water into the glass, not the glass around the water! :crazy:

Nice one Paul. There is no better feeling in the world than seeing your own creation developing in pictures. The amount of detail you see these days is amazing. I wish you all the best mate. It's a special moment.

So, when you tell people in your video's to model some different subjects from time to time and get out of their comfort zone, I seriously didn't see this coming. You do take your modeling serious do you? Don't get me wrong, this is deffo "The Ultimate Modeling Product", so congrats and good luck to you, your wife and your soon to be born son.

Tell you what though, being surrounded by all these magnificent model plane's, tanks and whatnot, this kid is going to have one hell of a time growing up. I know I would.

P.S.: Any link to the build tread...?

Congrats mate! You're about to embark on one hell of an adventure! Soon you'll have something that you'll love more than you've ever loved anything in your life, there's nothing like it in the world.

My boys are now 3 and 6 and these last 6 years have just whizzed by and you just stop once in a while to wonder where has the time gone??!

Anyway, congrats, good luck and best wishes to you and the mom to be!
