Model building - a childhood past time??

[wulos]

I remember as a child wasting away many enjoyable? hours surrounded by plastic, paints, and the smell of plastics glue. Looking back now, I wonder how many 'simple tradesman skills', I picked up along the way that have helped me learn the right (and wrong) ways of solving many larger problems.
With that in mind, I thought I'd introduce my lad to the joys of model building.
The following are a couple of quick snaps of his first ever build - A dodge Viper GTS-R(He picked it out as he said it looked like a Ford GT. brought a smile to my face)
While the model was a quite straightforward build compared to many kits out there today, I think he did pretty well, and considering the look of accomplishment on his face when he finished, was well worth the "father and son" time.






How many other model collectors /builders do we have here on AFF? Have you passed on any of your hobbies to your children???
