I am blessed with two children and four grandchildren, all of whom bring me joy. I'm always interested in all their latest exploits, especially though those who share my interests in all things wargaming. As I'm just home from a long weekend with Matt & Sarah and their boys I thought I'd post a few pictures of the work of Reuben (10) and William (12). I hope you'll enjoy their work ~
Firstly, Reuben's work: two Bolt Action WWII figures above, German officer and British para; below a SAS figure with Anti-tank rifle!
A 1/32 Airfix(?) Figure below ~
Finally a 28mm Victrix Norman knight.
He enjoys painting obviously, and that's all that matters at this stage. Will he go on to outperform his Dad and Grandad? Time will tell!
You will all have seen William from time to time on this blog, he's been a regular in GHQ since before his first birthday! I thought you'd enjoy seeing some of his work too ~
Three Airfix WWII British infantry figures first ~
William is really into kit building too, all WWII of course. Not my period I have to confess so I can't say what it is!
But I know a tank when I see one! Even in winter camouflaged!
The two chaps in action painting and chatting together earlier in the year.
The picture struck me as almost religious in composition...
Very nice David and you have certainly passed on the bug 👍
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think their work is nice Matt, I just passed it on.
DeleteSplendid stuff from the Young Guns!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is Phil! They will soon eclipse my modest efforts I think.
DeleteGreat to see the next generations coming through and very nice work done by both lads, well done to them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donnie, the lads will be pleased!
DeleteI tell you what David, their painting is a LOT better than mine was at that age! Well done the lads:). The religous shrine photo is rather nice and obviously the praying or offering sacrifices to the painting Gods has paid off;)
ReplyDeleteThank you SteveJ! The boys will love that comment! William already has the 'dice gods' on side!
DeleteVery fine work from the young ones looks like they are well on their way in carrying the hobby genes forward into the future!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christopher, the boys will be pleased by your encouragement!
DeleteAll too be encouraged. Painting is practice and so good to start young and keep going. It's a cracking start.
