bigmikevee Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hello Lani, Just wanted to say welcome aboard, I am new here too, but there are a wonderful bunch of people on the forums, and I'm sure you will learn a lot. It is really great you have your dad right there to help you, my dad helped me when I first started, and kept me motivated when I got frustrated, every time you build you'll learn a little more, and every time you visit the forums, you'll learn more too! Best of luck and welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Welcome aboard Lani! You're lucky to have your Dad to help you out modeling. I didn't have that growing up, but then I didn't get started 'til I was 17! And yes, that is a nice Predicta! Anyway, don't be afraid to ask questions................that's what we're here for!

modelhut Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Welcome, welcome, welcome! I am so glad that you are here, and can share and learn with the rest of us. I was not fortunate enough to have my Dad's help with modeling, but I did teach my Son and Daughter to model. I am working off and on with my 23 year-old Daughter, building a Grave Digger monster truck. I applaud you, Dad, for teaching Leilani the great hobby of model building, as well as the other Dad's here that have/are doing the same. It's the only way that this great hobby will continue on, and our children need a creative alternative to the other distractions in life. As an added benefit, you get to build a great relationship with your child(ren), and make memories for a lifetime. I can't wait until my grandchildren are old enough, I still have some unbuilt kits.............

It is great to keep their minds going in a good direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelhut Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 were did you get gravedigger at I bought it on eBay last year. I got 2, a snap tite and a level 2 glue together. When my kids were younger, I would take them to the truck/tractor pulls and monster truck races, and Grave Digger has been her favorite since the 80's. I haven't looked lately to see if any are available. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great to keep their minds going in a good direction. Hello Paul, yes it is good to keep their minds moving in a good direction. I have been in the automotive industry since 1981, and have shared knowledge of the 1:1's with them as well. Now that my Son is 27, and my Daughter will be 24 later this year, I get lots of phone calls when there is something wrong with their vehicles, asking what I think the problem may be. I also get the phone calls from them when they are buying new tires or any modifications that they want to make, fun for me. I will say this, time goes so fast, that I wish I would have spent even more time with them, and not so much at work. The great thing is, the relationships are strong, and I now have my Grandchildren to spoil and spend time with. Take care! Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
