Hi everyone,
I think below is the best dio ever that was made for me by my sons. It may not be 100% accurate but I can live with that. It was made for fathers day.
Cheers

I can see why. This is what fathers day is all about. So much better than something bought at the local supermarket. Proof they know who their father is. Have a nice one Robbo.

My 2 boys made me an "Army Guy" cake for my birthday last year. Best cake I ever had.

Is that the Tamiya Brick Wall set I see in the back corner? I've been looking for a use for that set! Too bad it couldn't be eaten!
Awesome cake!!!

The perfect Fathers Day gift.
My 9 year old daughter is my best critic.When she says"It looks like that man is doing whatever.",and she's right,I figure I've done an OK job.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I showed them to the boys and you could see it gave them a little burst of pride, for this I thankyou.
As for the tamiya wall set, well I explained to them their error in using this and how it could have made the scene look unrealistic.
Cheers

PS I can inform you it didn't make it past the second day!
