once had a workmate tell me model making was a waste of time and money, especially since if he wanted one he could go and buy a diecast and save the trouble
i pointed out he had just spent 6 grand on a piano!!..........and if i wanted to hear piano music i could buy a cd for a tenner and and it would be better
he shut up then
once had a boss tell me it was a waste of time.....i said it helped me with my work
he looked at me as if i was looney
i work in QA in the automotive industry.......i pointed out that when model making it helps with my eye for detail and spotting defects or problems, im always striving for perfection, it helps with problem solving and thinking laterally to come up with countermeasures for those problems, helps with hand-eye co-ordination and dexterity with using tools
then i asked him how his train spotting hobby helped him

I have a neighbour that thinks i play with "toys". When she walks pasted and i'm in the middle of priming a project, she'll say" i see you're playing again John!". Yes, it got on my nerves until i said "look at the rest of the street, they are either sat with a can in their hands or they have a needles in the arm. I build models, thats my past time, whats yours?"
Have fun, John
Have fun, John

had it a few times from the in-laws mainly the mother-in-law but to be honest have had it most of my life with something or another I am a self confessed geek!!!
My Main passion is comic books but I collect toys and action figures. not the crap that is about now but the older stuff mego, star wars, transformers etc and rare imported toys from Japan.
most of the time people say why bother then once explained the cost of these things once sold they soon change there tone.
Just did Leicester Comic Con the 1st ever comic con in Leicester and the work mates gave me some stick till i explain to them that while you lot were getting beered up on Saturday i made £500 soon went quite.
The model making is a new thing in our house used to do it at home (mum and dad's) when i was a kid and now like my dad I have started to do the models with my son the Mrs is not to happy but it keeps the pair of us out the way when enders is on the telly.lol

its all down to ignorance, I myself am ignorant of the pleasures of rock climbing soaps and reality TV, personally I would rather dig my eyes out with a sharpened chair leg, and after suffering a season watching Millwall that might not be a bad option for the coming season.
"...modelling, that's so geeky!!!"
'If you think so? At least my wife knows where I am and what I'm doing on a Saturday night! Does yours?'...and then silence...
Oh look! Wow you made that, amazing!

What freaking time do you call this? Look at the state of you!!!

Crumpets! Here's a true tail. At work we had a Canadian visiting for a few weeks. He went to an English Supermarket and bought some food, Included was a pack of crumpets; he had not told us this. A few days later he came in telling us he did not think much of British food. He said, "I bought some crumpets the other day. Last might I went to the fridge, got one out and ate it. It was disgusting"\ said:Love it, especially on crumpets!!!
Hmmmmm.
