Happy Father's Day!!!

Hi Jeeves , You lucky devil the only thing my missus would get to use on my kits is a very large hammer. Even though she has infact built a couple of kits herself (a P51 and a Kamov ka25 )and did a very good job of them too...Greg

congrats to all dads .... but im not one yet =( .

Good for you, Jeeves. I'll be getting a few kits, without any doubt, that will one day fill my lovely display case..!

Jeeves, congrats on your first Fathers day! Now as a single dad, I cherish the days I get with my 6 year old. I'm introducing him to modeling and he likes it! You are getting great support from the Mrs. Say, does your wife have a sister!

Thanks Jeeves,
Happy first daddy day to you too. I miss those newborn days (really I do). I have 10 yo son and a 3 yo daughter. My son is with his mom and the daughter is clumping around the house in my work boots. Kids are certainly a special joy.

Jeeves, what a great gift and what a special lady you have. My three kids got me some modelling supplies that I needed-now I know why they were skulking around the workbench the past week or so! Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. - Ed

I hope you're enjoying your first Father's Day!!

You most definitely have a special lady. For her to go through all that trouble and give you such a wonderful surprise, that's awesome. The fact that she supports your interests and hobby like that is wonderful.

Kids -- there's nothing better. Watching them grow up, learn about things, play together and everything else is great.

I have three of my own - one girl age 7, two boys ages 3 and 5. This morning I woke up and the kids (with mom's help) had made breakfast. My daughter had put together a Father's Day cheer and they all had presents they had picked out from the Dollar Store. What's great about the Dollar Store gifts is that they love shopping there -- they spend literally an hour or more sometimes looking for gifts. They put a lot of thought into picking things out. It's amazing what those kids come up with. Then there is the look of pride when they hand out their presents. A true example of "it's not the gift, it's the thought that counts!". That is what it's all about!

Congrats Jeeves!!!

Yes fatherhood is the best in the world! I have four of my own and my two oldest boys (7 & 5) really get into modeling!
By the way your missus there is somthing special! Youre very lucky, mine would just as soon dump them in the trash (sometimes)!

I got my Fathers Day gift early this year. My two sons got back from Iraq. One three weeks ago and one last week. I couldn't ask for any thing more.

Jeeves, that was a great story as are all the others. Father's Day truely is a special day that we can all appreciate. It kind of makes you feel fuzzy all over. To Berny13: You must be relieved as well as incredibly proud of your boys. I think all of us on this forum owe them a special thanks for what they did for America and Iraq.

Amen berny13....that one puts my story to shame and I am happy for it-- send our best wishes to your brave sons....

Jeeves,
I hope you enjoyed your first Father's Day immensely. From my own experience,
they get better each year. The only thing more rewarding than building models is raising children.

Now, if I can just ask Mrs. Jeeves to speak with my wife for a few minutes. . .

Thanks for the kind words. I talked to my youngest, who just got back, last night. It seems he is now interested in a model. She moved in next door while he was gone. Single, 26, five foot seven, blue eyes, red hair and models for a clothing magazine. That sure beats the one I am now building.

Berny, how do you top that one? Godspeed to your son and full speed ahead.
