As dads, it's likely we've all had some kind of affinity for a good scale model. Be it a favourite jet fighter, iconic 60s car, famous landmark, or sci-fi spaceship, at some point in our boyhood (and maybe into adulthood), surely a scale model has made its way on to our shelves (or man caves if you're lucky enough!)
If you're a fan of some big (but not too big) big-boy's toys, check out this guy's insane remote-controlled truck, complete with, well, everything he could dream up and create!
How's this for a man-pram?
The epic, masive RC truck is a 1:4 scale Peterbilt 359, crafted to perfection. It's creator, Luca Bordin, has even added different trailer options such as a sound system

and an actual trailer for transporting small tractors
How awesome is that?
I love being able to work on hobby projects with my kids. It's definitely a perk of being a dad, having little hands share in the building of something. Building models bring out our inner child, and sharing that part of us with our own children is a great way to relate to their sense of wonder and curiosity, which we may have lost from 'growing up'. Also, working together means valuable time together, and that's what matters the most despite sticky glue-hands and broken or lost pieces.
You may even inspire your __kids to one day work on a full-scale version of a model; the real thing. They are after all our future designers, artists, engineers, and architects. Who knows, you may have a future spaceship designer in your family waiting for their chance to reach the stars!
What kind of models do you like working on?
