Female modellers?

[Waspie]

Silly question - BUT?
Are there any of the female gender dabble in the noble art of our hobby??

[Jim R]

I think there are a couple on the forum but they rarely post. It's a shame but even in these enlightened days model making is a male interest.

Lady modeller’s-very rare. Maybe models just appeal to the male brain more in most cases.
What hobby do the ladies do, which has little interest for men ?

My wife enjoys all things knitting and sewing. She is on a couple of forums. She says that 99% of people on those forums are ladies.

Interesting thread this. Not many female modellers on here, or in historical modelling at all as far as I can tell. I don’t remember many female railway modellers when I was into that either. On the other hand, there are a fair few figure painters that are female, mostly, but not exclusively, working in the fantasy field. Some are the best in the business imho, producing things like perfect freehand painted paisley shirts. Also the fantasy gaming world is pretty close to fifty fifty In gender spread. Board gamers have a very even spread as well. Not many female historical gamers around though.
