I took my 6 yr old son and 9 yr old daughter to my IPMS meeting so they could show off their kits. We couldn't find Alex's kits, but Elaina took her Tamiya Mutt and RoG Jeep and showed them off with pride. Alex fell asleep, but Elaina wants to know when the next one will be so she can have another model ready.

I think the threads about my son and daughter building kits with me were some of the ones that got lost.

Better start them early as my son is a total failure only thing that can save him is if I can get him in the Military needs a DI in his face cause if I get in his face I am going to bust his face 17 year old punk needs a butt whipping. dropped out of school last year to work ain't done squat suppose to go back this year told Ex to go to hell he ain't doing squat,as I don't live at home nomore I can't see what goes no but when I do visit he gets all squared shouldered like he has a big chip on their that needs to be knocked off but he thinks he can whip my butt but he don't know that Dad will kick his butt and knock the wet behind the ears out of him. Oh did I mention they threw him out of school for to many fights amongst teachers and students.
OH well back to modeling
