Three generations of scale model makers in my family

[@benstace6910]

Thank you for sharing Dave. Love your builds and advice. It is indeed a wonderful hobby for all to enjoy. Fantastic stuff mate.

[@kevinkabal6598]

This makes you an awesome dad! I'm doing the same thing with my daughter, although it's Warhammer models for us!

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Kevin Kabal I have a mate who plays Warhammer each Friday night with his 17yo son. It seems a very unifying hobby!

[@james.black981]

Happy memories here. I have built a 1/48 Pz38 with my Daughter and going to build a War Toons Pink Sherman soon. I never remember seeing my Dad modelling but I know he had a decent collection of 1970's era models. I remember a Panzer 1, Bren gun carrier, some artillery. But unfortunately he has passed on and they were all lost 20 years ago. Would give anything to see those models again. Thanks for reviving some old memories in me Dave. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@JMCSpor]

It's really great to have your family in the business 😊 My daughter assembled a 1:72 F-4U Corsair when she was seven years old. She's 22 now and that poor Corsair is still waiting for a paint...

[@kerryadams8922]

Fantastic video it is great to see someone proud of his family and your personal history. Your daughter is very talented first the Christmas ginger bread house and now model building Great STUFF!!!! Kerry

Ah Dave mate you know how to make a shipwright cry, that a beautiful corvette, I'd sell my first born to get my hand on one.😣😫😭😭😭😭

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Bilge Rat agreed, it’s a lovely boat. There are a lot of missing pieces on my one...

[@shealton_3919]

thats so cool im just starting out

[@doozersmodels3193]

Awesome stuff... so cool that you have three generations building... build on

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Doozers Models thanks Doozer - I feel very lucky.

[@paulwarren1173]

Very cool. I think the Lotus number 5 was driven by F1 ace Jimmy Clark. Speaking of F1 you are from Melbourne. Ever been to the Grand Prix? If so, what did you think? I love the sport and need to visit. I’m from the states. Got back into modeling 2 years ago. Love your channel and work. Cheers

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Hi Paul, thanks for your kind words. I've never been to the Grand Prix, but you can hear it all over the city. I live about 10km (7miles?) from the track and you can hear it as clear as a bell when they race!

[@JohnPol]

in my family it is also three generations my dad whitch was 88 and passed away last monday than my son is 12 and loves it

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

John Pol I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad is 80. This makes it more important to have these sort of lasting connections, because time gets us all in the end.

[@gerryvandyk5551]

Dave, while I want to say a whole lot, instead I'll just say the stuff on your channel just puts a smile on my face, every time. Cheers mate, keep 'em coming.

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Gerry van Dyk thanks so much. That really means a lot to me mate.

[@jimhovland2737]

Hi Dave - Jim from Minneapolis Minnesota in the US of A - I am a huge fan and I enjoy your builds but I'm a historic racing kit builder I would like to challenge you to take on a historic Tamiya 1/12 F1 kit!! I would love to see your videos documenting a build like that!! Thank you sir and keep the hoard growing!!!!

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Hi Jim, thanks so much, and greetings from Australia! Ohhh, a big F1 kit... that would be entirely out of my comfort zone (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) I'll have a think about it... Cheers, D

[@JFvE]

Thank you for sharing this. Lovely. My fam too, are now 3 gens of model building as my 2 young sons have each built their first couple of kits and wanting more. We are blessed men.

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Duke F.v. Esch indeed we are sir, indeed we are.

[@F4FWildcat]

Dave, great stuff! I am so glad to see your daughter taking up the staff. Your dad has some serious skills too. As far as your Flower Corvette goes. "All ahead flank mate!!!" Go out there and find another to build or finish that one. You'll be glad you did!

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Tom Andrews I don’t think I have the display space for a metre long vessel!!! 😂

[@ArmourEmpire]

Great you all have a shared hobby and can enjoy it together.

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Armour Empire I feel very lucky indeed 😀

[@wwkdiecastmore5647]

Three generations, that's special Dave! Thanks for showing all the models from the past and present, great job by your daughter on the plane!...Bill

[@usssaratogacv3lefevre978]

Good stuff, great memories. Like the Flower.

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

USS SARATOGA CV3 LeFevre - I love the Flower corvette as well. I just need to pull my finger out and complete it some day!

[@Mrevivar]

Congrats Dave, 3 generations!!! I loved the camo, she has a great mentor; we will see great builds from her bench. Once again congrats!!

[@lancecaldwell3874]

That's so cool! My paternal grandfather served on the HMCS Snowberry for the whole war. That's why I had too get that kit. Now I've got 2 of them. The latest version has wood venier decks and photo etch. One Wil be R.C. and the other a early version cutaway. That Lotus is good enough for your display case mate! Cheers

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Lance Caldwell wow, I’d love to see a RC 1/72 Snowberry cruising around a pond! That would be brilliant! You’ll have to video it once it’s done, I really want to see that!

[@lancecaldwell3874]

@@DavesModelWorkshop just bought a out of print book on the subject. Cost 100$ can. @ least it's in good nick and has all isometric drawings I need. The Flower Class Corvette Agassiz. It is the best info on this subject so far. 10 years of research so far. Might start it next year. Hopefully?!?! Lol.

[@NordicRC]

Ahh, what treasures of three generations. Amazing your parents has kept these models.

[@DavesModelWorkshop]

Nordic RC Visions ahhh, my parents are complete hoarders - nothing gets thrown out! :)

[@NordicRC]

Dave's Model Workshop I know the types - in 2013 I found my old RCs in my parents basement. That’s when it all started again ☺️
