I thought a good blazing fire was your number one choice, with number two being setting said fire to diorama, and number three watching the fire brigade arrive....
What bit of this hobby do you enjoy the most?

To me it is the relaxing glass of white wine at the end of a productive day on the modelling bench. My wife appears in the doorway and offers to caress my aching shoulders to relax those little muscles that niggle away at you. She also informs you that the large box of items has arrived and has spent the last hour lugging it up the stairs so as not to interupt you listening to your favourite music through your expensive noise cancelling earplugs. The nuzzle of your favourite pets cold nose on your crutch to let you know it has just come in from the torrential downpour outside, and you laugh a happy laugh..... What's that? time to get up....
Now you know what it is - I can switch off and drift away and forget all the whingers and whiners in this world who just cannot do anything except complain and not think for themselves.

SWMBO has just retired and the amount of time I spend modelling is becoming an issue. She just can't seem to appreciate the other place you go to when modelling - that trance-like state where the hours fly by and you end up with something that has cost you some effort and that only you're interested in. but which nevertheless feels worthwhile and satisfying. Something will have to give......
I don't think anyone outside the hobby gets modelling. I'm off to the gym for an hour...fine. Away rugby game, I'll be out all day...fine. Oh I planned to spend a couple of hours modelling that evening....funny looks.
Peter, I couldn't have summarised better why I enjoy the hobby better. And my wife's reaction to it sometimes. although to her credit she does encourage me to have a modelling session in the evening or at the weekends if we're not busy.

SWMBO retired 4 years ago, so if I am even thinking about doing something that is not on her approved list, the look is more than just funny!
Yes, something will definitely have to give Peter!
Commiserations to you Peter, you know you will loose, better to get it over with and re structure now!

WHAT has your good lady retired from ? exscuse me for askin Peter but if she was in a really important job then your modelin may seem to her trival but I would have thought as long as you are happy makin an paintin your figures then she should be happy that you are if that make any sence as my wife still works but she likes me doin my modelin to know im happy an sometimes even helps me on my tiger
chris
COR Steve you also have to do what your SWMBO wants we go 50/ 50 an my SWMBO IS nearly ten yrs younger than me but she is very easy goin an says to me if youre happy then she is an I let her do what she wants as im the driver as jen is to scared to drive an to many dangerous people drivein on the rds she says but I take her to her C/B sales that she loves an she has her gardening she is happy then I am so it goes on an that's life for us both bein happy

Hi Chris
I am allowed to go to work, but having been off since 011019 with my knee has upset the natural "balance"
My Knee taking its time to settle doesn't help either, but we will work it out, eventually LOL
The Corona virus worries are keeping us both in more than usual too, which doesn't help
There is always the Sky Planner, NetFlix and You Tube LOL

Chris, my wife is/was a doctor - consultant psychiatrist. She was burned out and ready to throw in the towel and entered retirement with lots of plans that included me. She tends to over-analyse things and feels I resent her being around a bit. I told her today that I was at her beck and call, no modelling, and she accused me of being 'passive-aggressive'. You can't win!
Steve marriage is to us like a partnership where 50/50 applies in our opinion an you cant help about your knee can you
chris
WELL Peter I sugget you play along to keep the peace but as you say you cant win but then you wont be happy if you cant do your modelin will you ? so in reality im no help to you sorry
