Global Scale Modeller

First a few pics of me helping him put the decals on


The finished model


I help him put it all together then he painted how he wanted and he help me put the decals on.
My son with the finished model.


The model was a PM model really cheap £2 I think and really simple but just right for him and we both enjoyed doing it.

I forsee a brand new range of RS colours being issued! Great to see the look on his face though, sign him up quick and up his pocket money to afford all the kit he will need!

He has another that we are going to do during the school holidays.

Great stuff nige .

That last pic is priceless! Save it to show his girlfriend in 15 years time, lol!!

That's excellent Nige

Great work, that lad! Like the tobacco manufacturers say: hook 'em while they're young!

Save it for a Power Point presentation to accompany your speech at his wedding when it's too late for the young lass to run away!

You are a cruel, cruel man Phil

I saw it first back when I owned a pub and I used to do outside bars for special events - did one in a marquee in this guy's HUGE garden and he (father of the groom) and the father of the bride covered two huge pin boards in the entrance with A4 sized embarrassing pics of the happy couple when they were kids!

I want my two to hurry up and get old enough to get them addicted

Another year and ill have my daughter started

Priceless memories!! thank you for sharing it with us!

Proud face!
When I built my first kit I did it on my own at my parents kitchen table. I think that I was about 10 or 12 at the time. I looked something like your boy's and I believe that I was just as proud of it.
When my oldest boy was 14 we built a Dragon King Tiger together while watching old Star Trek movies. I didn't look much different, but he looked just as pleased.
Even if they don't stick with it right away, 10 or 15 years from now chances are that they'll come back to it.
A lot of us did.
It gets in your skin.

Really nice to see the younger generation building models, nice post

"'Tis early practice only makes the Master"!
It's really nice to see such a young person start building scale models - and he did his first one very well. The camo is absolutely nice colored !

Please tell your son that he did a great job on it .

With best regards ...

The great smile says it all.... well done!!

Cheers guys going to start the next one with him when I've finished the tempest.

Only just caught this thread and I'm glad I did - what a brilliant picture!

I know there's been a few discussions recently about why do we model - Nige, the look on your son's face says it all.

Can't wait to have this experience with my grandson. Only 2 yo right now, but soon we'll be working on models together.

That picture makes it all special Can't wait for my little lad to take up modelling some day

At least you got him young i can imagine all of on here started the same way i know i did...

Very well !

Cheers guys we've done a few since then and we all have fun which is the main thing.

He looks very happy with it Well done dad
