I read with interest the replies to the notion of a modellers singles site. Yes it would be great in my opinion if finding a woman with modelling interests were possible. I suppose it is not impossible to find such a woman, but it is very hard - and I have not found anyone like that yet. When I went to a national model show in England the only women there it seemed were spouses who willingly or were prepared to put up with tagging along behind their modelling husbands. Someone has already suggested in this string that modelling subjects may not appeal much to women as most of it is military, and that I think is true to a sense. Yet women serve in the military all over the world, and their roll and diversity therein has increased in recent years, and continues to do so, in many countries. Perhaps the modelling community should, for a start, try to increase the awareness of modelling amongst women in the forces. Servicemen who are currently serving their country are not uncommon amongst the modelling community, so why not try and get some of their female colleagues to roll up as modellers as well ; it would appear to be a natural progression. Lets not just keep it to women in the forces either, but to women in all walks of life. If you can think of ideas on how to spread the hobby to females then lets post them here in the forum. I quite like the idea of having more female figures modelled: Airfix, for example, used to model figures of Queen Elizabeth I and Ann Boleyn. So how about manufacturers creating models of 20th / 21st century icons such as Madona or Pussy Cat Dolls, or of a boy band like West Life or The Back Street Boys, etc. Or reverting back to subjects closer to what we as modellers are used to building, how about making a series of figures of famous women in aviation, like Amy Johnson, Emelia Erhart or Russian women aviators of WWII. What do ya think?
