discussion TV or Movies that contained modeling content

[Guest]

Are there any TV shows or movies you remember that had a character that was involved with modeling, or a scene that mentioned it? Do you remember it as an accurate portrayal, one filled with errors, or did it just stand out to you for some other reason?

Hmmm, the old sponge has leaked badly, cannot think of any. But, regarding TV series, Dick Emery used to be the chairmen of the Airfix modellers club...so sort of model related...I'll go...

One of the characters in the film super 8 was into building models and he explained what he was doing to a model to one of his friends.


The reason I remember is due to my ears picked up on hearing it, and it was ont'TV the other day...
