thepureness Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 what inspirational story. Myself I have been blessed with 2 daughters and with having no son to share my hobbies with I'd imagine my girls would be into dolls, make up and high heels when they get to 11. This goes to show, maybe one day, I might too be building kits with my daughters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That's great,I see a couple of P.40s in your daughter's future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadgaddad Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I always liked anything with a shark mouth when I was a boy. A little while ago I made an Airfix Tomahawk with my 4 year boy and he wanted it for the shark mouth. It seems that no one is immune. NIce pair of models, btw, have to say, though, hers is much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike DeTorrice Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 She's certainly done a really great job and should be extremely proud of her efforts and results ! Your daughter could definitely give building tips to some of us around here ..... umm, namely, me ! Wonderful results in every sense from this fine father/daughter build.

ModelMonkey Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Echo all the comments - great work and lovely father & daughter time spent together. Myself and my 8 year old daughter are building a Hasegawa Egg Hughes 500, progress is slow when I can tear her away from Minecraft or CBBC but the build has been fun and harmonious....so far!

burncpt Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's just the icing on the cake that the models turned out so well!. It's been said twenty times on here already but the difference between patience, perseverance and attachment to a creative pursuit, as opposed to the transitory gratification of computer games seems to me to be a salutory lesson in childhood development and therefore society as a whole. You evidently brung her up well sir, she'll go far no doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Russell Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes she seems to have "the right stuff". If she progresses, your stash is in danger! Great work, both of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi Andy Great stuff mate, to keep the theme going the Airfix liberator had sharks teeth as I believe did the Mitchell Stuka. She could be the inspiration for one of next years Group Builds ! Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy.m Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hi Houston Alas no. Nothing finished. That is related to her passion for drawing ponies(!), Minecraft and, most importantly, my lack of model building through this year :-( My work related to a little bike race in our glorious county kept me busy for the first half of the year and I've been catching up with the day job ever since! I have every intention of getting the old airbrush out over Christmas and finishing off one or two projects. I have no doubt that she will muscle in on the act and we will do another joint build soon! Cheers Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 At 11yr old I waas still gluing my fingers together and I remeber getting Hurricane parts sticking to my tongue. Don't ask. Nice to see the hobby kept alive and a result for someone at that age is remarkable. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
