Actually my other hobbies of sea angling and motorbiking are more expensive than model making lol. So she doesn't mind me spending money on this

Genius idea! Take up an expensive hobby so model making becomes more acceptable to SWMBO!

Yes, in comparison to my Faberge Egg shooting hobby and my Ferrari stock car racing - model making is relatively cheap.

sea angling and fly fishing isn't cheap thats for sure, besides you can't live in Scotland and NOT fish !!!

As far as partners having any influence on this hobby .... i TELL mine whats happening ....... then when she decides it's OK i get on with it

[Guest]

i tried that colin, it took me two hours to remove the spitfire from my a**e, on a serious note, i dont drink or really go out much so she is happy that i have a hobby that keeps me at home.and i order off e-bay when she is not looking lol

just a question to gern, you have 2 flower class corvettes thats just not right! but a lovely stash

That's not quite right. Only one of them is the Revell Snowberry. The other is the Revell USS Fletcher in 1/144.

So I am not the only one. I have a serious Carp fishing addiction (albeit put on hold for a year or two) and also have an unhealthy camera habit as well. Just bought a new one the other day....Canon D60. So I guess modelling is a "cheaper" hobby than those.

So can we take it that you have a stash of cameras instead of kits then? tee hee!

60 something kits. 9 carp rods, 4 fly rods, 8 coarse rods, 2 beach and 2 boat rods. Only five cameras though...... :-/

By the way if anyone wants a Canon EOS 300D with standard lens, two battery and a charger, PM me. :-)

I can't stop buying kits either. I had 25 kits when I restarted now it stands at 27. With two made. How does that happen? :noidea:

Very very easily believe me lol

I blame eBay for this addiction spreading. Theres 5 stages to it...

1) Sat down nice and cosy with the laptop watching some evening TV

2) "Oh, I'll have a quick look on eBay - just a browse"

3) "How much?!? I'll keep my eye on that one!"

4) 10 minutes later.... Item watched, bidded on, won, paid for

5) Repeat a few days later

Curtis, I just read your 5 steps. I already had another tab open on an ebay-like site, on a page of model aircraft kits!
