father and son modelling

aw shucks,  ain't it the truth...

Nice work from both you and your son. Have fun and enjoy this time with both of them.

I had to relent and get a wii this year or they'll get left behind but they play a bit then go and usually have a scrap in the garden or something, along with drawing etc or making lego.  all good boys type stuff. we're nr ipswich.

And its nice to see that he would rather do somthing with his hands than just sit in front of a TV or games consul. No, i don't think the dagger would go down to well.

Where in Suffolk are you if you don't mind me asking.

I had to help him with wheel location (had a bit of trouble understanding it myself) and was generally around to advise.  But he painted it himself whilst intently studying the instructions.  The quad, although obviously lacking in certain areas, he made almost exclusively himself.  I came home from work one day to find that he'd done the decals which I thought was brilliant.  You may notice that he added his own detail of a gun on top of the cab which, whilst not exactly accurate, shows willing and a possible future in the kit-bashing field!  gold star to whoever can identify where this extra bit came from!  He will absolutely love what you've said by the way.  It doesn't matter how good the result or indeed what they do, whether it be modelling or any other thing, but the kids need to know that when they've put the effort in, it shows.  My two boys drive me up the wall but I love 'em!  The eight year old (Bo) is studying ww2 at school.  I'm going in to show a few bits like medals and civvie gas mask.  I thought I'd stop short of taking in my luftwaffe dress dagger though!

Gosh, your eight years old son did the Tiger?  He sure has a great future... he did better than what I did with my kits when I was 15 years old.  Looking forward to see you more in my favorite places... the Armor and Figures & Misc forums.

Welcome aboard.........  glad to see you are working out some of the posting bugs.

Looking forward to viewing more of your and your sons work...

All the best.........

Ye, a vast majority of people on here are from the states. I reckon next in line is us Brits followed by some Aussies. After that theres guys (and girls) from all over.

am i right in thinking a lot of members are over the pond?  nearly blew the nipper's mind though, when we got welcomed by folk from the states!  love it.

Welcome to the forums. And i just noticed you are also in Suffolk.That makes 3 of us. We will be outnumbering the colonials before you know it.

Great work on the figure, love that camo. I still haven't got SS camo to the point where i am happy with it.

And your son is off to a great start.

support appreciated deaf.  looking forward to being involved with all you freaks!  the tiger's not bad for an eight year old though?

Outstanding work on 1/16 figure especially its camo and the magazine pouches!  Welcome to the forums.

1/16 tamiya elite infantryman on scratch built doug fir base.  comments appreciated. first diorama/ setting i have made.  more to follow and lots of wips.

Welcome,

Finding particular posts can be difficult, I couldn't find a step-by-step tutorial there myself.  I'm not an expert, but I think I can help you.

You do need to upload your photos to a third-party site.  I lot of people use Photobucket.  I use Windows Live.  I suspect Flicker would work.

Once your photos are there, you have to find the specific URL that just displays your photo.  I simply keep clicking on my photo until it is the only thing showing on the screen, then I copy the URL out of the address bar.

Back here on FSM, there is a little icon that looks like a strip of film:

Click that and paste the URL into the field for it and click insert.

Tahdah, you have posted a picture!

Hi,  thanks for welcome.  where can i find the post on uploading?  i looked in community but don't seem to be able to search by subject.  can add link to my flickr.  is this how to do it?

Welcome to the board, it's a very nice group here.  Looking forward to seeing some of your sons work.  I've been building with my son but at 18 he's hitting the stage of finding other interests but like all of us he'll be back.

Welcome to the Forums .  Looking forward to seeing your & your sons work.  There is a tutorial in the Community Assistance Forum that describes how to upload pics.

Regards,  Rick
