    Red face Little Helpers

    Evening All!

    Just wondering if any of you have any little helpers in your hobby? We have a 4 month old daughter, who is already helping me in my hobby by holding stuff for me:

    I'm not sure why, but that photo made me laugh a lot.

    I've had my friends kids help with painting my models. They basecoat them, I do the primary. They have fun drybrushing the tanks and doing washes and I finish it off later. I got 2 squads done in a day that way. Though the parents did wonder why their children had black hands and green eyebrows

    I wish this place had a like button sometimes, but that'd destroy about 70% of my post count. So "I approve of this."

    Not much of a human helper, more of a feline helper. My little kitten likes to either bat the dice around during a game (she thinks shes part of something, awww bless!) or she'll just creep up and snatch a model at random like some sort of watcher in the water/living room. Yesterday one of the space marines was taken, she grabs them in her mouth and runs off with them before dropping them somewhere random for seemingly no apparant reason. Cats probably building her own army at my expense.

    You've gotta love a cats randomness. Still better than deciding that your game board is a good place for a nap.

    On topic I have a son who I get to run around the room while holding minis so that they dry quicker.

    I'm trying to get him to yell FOR THE EMPEROR! As he runs but the other half won't have it.

    My oldest daughter used to love helping me paint. She even tried painting a few of her own.

    Emily, age 3, the Queen of Wee Men and Most Efficient Usurper of Time has a few models of her own.

    Yeshe is six, very orange and very fluffy. Likes taking on titans and generally sleeping on things, treading on them and getting them covered in fluff before they are dry.
