..warhammer figures! I'm not really good at painting those little figures, but it's fun and that's what counts I guess. Takes me and my son a few hours to finish one of these. Best part of it is not using a computer for any step of it Wink And yes, my wife thinks I'm a complete nerd Cheesy

  Your son is a lucky boy to have a dad that spends time doing fun stuff like that with him.  It isn't Linux or graphics but it is building memories your son will look back on when he's grown. And he'll spend fun time with his son just because you did with him.

  You're a good man Con.  Wink

Ditto what Dad and Freddy said, plus I think it's good to get away from the computer and technology in general. I feel personal interaction is lacking in today's society. Good for you and your son Con.

Cheers
