Hi All
After discussing things with Moon Puppy, I'm going to change my build. But, not only am I changing my build, I will be pulling others in with me.
My oldest son, Cam (aka Camdemonium) came back from a trip to his Aunt's with some plunder. The plunder being some kits, one of which was the Airfix 1/76 scale Panther tank. So, I brain farted, and thought why don't we build the same kit together in the CTA build.
Then, my youngest son, Logan, asked "When can I build a model with you dad?", so, I thought why not have him join Cam and I with this.
So, we now have 3 Airfix Panthers, and 3 Mooar's ready to build them (donation has been made, just waiting confirmation).
Cam and I will be posting our builds simultaneously, and Logan will post via my account (being 6, he is a tad young for interweb community accounts), but I will make it clear that it is his posts.
This will be a great introduction for Logan to our great hobby, and a great opportunity for Cam to hone his skills. I will be getting them to do everything from cutting, sanding, building, painting, and I will be teaching them to do the photography of their builds. The only assistance I will be giving will be advice and encouragement with their build, and preparation of paint if they choose to paint them with the airbrush.
This is a great chance for the kids to both learn, and to help assist with the condition that has taken their Grandmother (my side), and has caused their Grandfather (Mother's side) to have a kidney removed, so the reality of this scourge is there for them to see and to do their part towards its cure.
I'm really looking forward to this build. Work commitments until now has meant I have not had much time to spend time with the kids.. so this is going to benefit the three of us.
Cheers
Rob
