    I too would say in the figure painting realm there is a very large community of women painters, and incredible they are. I could never match that natural talent, but they are truly inspirational. I have also seen quite a few AC builders, but not any tank builders.

    T'sall good, I wasn't into crashing their party, so to speak. Ya know, sewing or ironing, or,...............talking.:anguished::smiling5::sm iling6:

                Is that the one where they iron creases and wrinkles INTO clothes?

                    My wife would get a gold I'm sure for railway tracks in trousers!! She's got it so she can iron double creases in trousers in her sleep.

                      The last time my wife ironed my white shirt for Remembrance Day I praised the Powers That Be I had two brand-new spares; I'm not saying she can't iron shirts but ... Paddington Junction comes to mind .... otherwise she's perfect!

                        Good save! Otherwise I fear for your safety!

                            Mention ironing and the world goes very quiet - "Don't you have any others you can wear???"
                            Then it is grunt and groan as the 10 ton ironing board is struggled out of the cupboard, then same again for the iron. And three hours later I have five ironed 'T' shirts....
                            She goes out to visit grandsons for the day - I get the ironing board out, iron loaded with water and getting hot, get the clean clothes basket from upstais, sort out and turn her clothes back the correct way, then start ironing - three hours job done and all put away....
                            Comes back from grandsons - "Is that all you have done all day - sit and watch you tube....."
