Just checking the rules Doug, I'll let you know

Going slightly off the original topic....Extreme ironing is definitely a thing..... Came across it in the very late 90s/early 2000s...... Apparently a Brit wanted to go climbing on the local climbing wall but also needed to do ironing......

Great find Andrew, just read some of the other mad things people take up like cycling down that hill . All in all think it's a great thing to read about whacky people enjoying them selves in ridiculous pass times .

Do any of us belong to Extreme Modelling !

Sometimes I don't stir the paint quite as much as I should, I occasionally have a sniff of Revell contacta because it has a pleasing aroma and, I have been know not to replace the little lid thing that goes on the top of my Xacto knife!

Does that count?

Since the Fantasy category was added to the Penang show there was a sudden influx of female modellers. I guess it's the genre that appeals to them.

makes perfect sense to me. I mean do we REALLY expect them to be interested in ww2 panzers ?

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 ?

Talking....

My wife is into aviation stuff and has bought a 1:144 sale tornado to have a go with, so hopefully!

Remember to smile and nod in all the right places...
Seriously, give encouragement where and when it is required, hope she turns out a cracking model.

I might take up knitting.

Well don't send for us to come rescue you when your fingers are all tied in knots...

At my branch of MAFVA we have a lady modelmaker.. Does some armour models in both 1/76 and 1/35 scale and has been known to turn out a wingy thingy on occasion.
Used to work with some lady modelmakers when working in the profession, lot of them went off to make babies.

Oh obviously there is no shortage of modelmaking ability- I always liked to have at least one girl in my team-it kept things MUCH more civilised!
It's just not really surprising that there aren't many women who are actually interested in our ,mostly military, subject matter. If you look into the doll's house world you will find a much higher proportion of female craftspeople.

Talking ......

It's not so much the talking but more the volume, where it is directed and the subject. Too often rather loud, directed in my direction and involves phrases such as "It won't take long" or "We've had the paint for six months" or "I've nothing to wear. We'll just nip out to (insert name of shop selling female attire)"

Been there, done it and got the hearing aid to prove it....

Would you consider telling Yvonne this, while standing close ?
