        Looks like this model lark is genetic after all.

        Conner is doing a great job. My question is who is helping who?

          Superb chipped/flaking paint job Trey.This is what i was trying to achieve with my Zero.I went for masking fluid which i think gave too clean an edge to the chipped paint.The salt method gives a more realistic finish i think.

                Trey, it brings back memories of my Dad working with me on our railway layout when I was a youngster. That time together is so valuable.

                Yesterday a little lad of around 11 years old was down at the pond side with a very sorry looking little model boat. Apparently his uncle used to bring him but he passed away so a friend brought him but he doesn't know the first thing about RC boats. Consequently today I'm having to drive over to Leeds to deliver a spare radio set, speed controller and set of stickers over to another club member who is going to sort it all out for him while I'm back at work. Encouraging youngsters is so important to keeping our hobbies alive and all credit to you Trey for doing this with Connor.

                By the way pass on to Connor what a cracking job he has done and how he has impressed modellers all over the world.

                  Must be great to have a child who wants to learn stuff.Tried to teach my 19 year old daughter how to make a simple cheese omelette last night.my patience was sorely tested and i ended up making it myself!.

                    Richard thats great of you as well helping out the new upcoming hobbyists ! I too believe it to be very important. And Connor says thank you very much Sir! Hang in there Dave, my Daughter was just as bad trying to just hard boil an egg(she cracked them first and made egg drop soup) lol.
