VERY LARGE SHIPMODELS

There are worse hobbies & pass times to get involved with.

Modeling is a release of creative & artistic expression that challenges patience, hand-eye coordination, planning chronological & logical steps for assembly. Once complete you have a scale miniature to be proud to display (In your case float) Last but not least its a 3D version of the builders historical interest.

Few women are in the hobby. Here on the forum there is about 1% +/-. For her (your significant other) to relate compare the hobby to knitting or scrap-booking. The latter fills all criteria listed above as a hobby.

For more ammunition tell her I know people who can't go out on the town one night for less than 200$. In contrast my most expensive kit cost 180$ After completion probably will cost less that 1$ / hour of enjoyment.

And oil painting . the second and present was into knitting and decopage . So you are right .  tankerbuilder

Hey Tanker Builder,

If you ever come up to Toronto Canada, theres is a fabulous display of 10 foot long ships at the Royal Ontario Museum.

Good man, keep those big builds going, I'm looking forward to seeing the build!
