Does your wife support your hobby??

My wife supports me, although she doesn't take a strong interest in my models. I have a good basement workshop and the basement family room, as well, for all my stuff. Like others the Living room is off limits to models,( as well as the rest of the upstairs rooms). There will be one exception. My wife is into genealogy and asked me if I could build a model of the immigrant ship one of her ancestors came to America in. I'm still trying to get enough information to draw up the plans.

I haven't been on the site in awhile but... my wife has absolutely no interest in my hobby. She doesn't have a problem with it as long as she can't see it. I am tucked in a corner of the basement sharing with the water heater and boiler.  We recently switched to natural gas so I picked up a bunch more space when I got rid of the oil tank. That is now where the display shelves are.  John

Well youve got you dog. Cant always trust a dog though, they'll chase whatever tail (or leg) they can.

Sounds like an awesome dog.

My wife,  supports my modeling, by encourageing me to have fun and will only occasionly ask about the number of boxs in the stash, as I bring another little gem home.  

Anyway she makes my life better just by being in it........

.....Wheew.....OK she left the room.

Truthfully she does encourage me to enjoy my hobby and will patiently listen as I explan the details of what this is and how that works on the real plane and has learned to hardly crack a smile as I, with partly built plane in hand, make motor noises and sweep my hand around showing how well the thing flys Gulp

  Now that's funny right there!   Hey, I get the same response when I finally get the wings attached and fly them around the room.

Try doing that with a tank and see the funny looks you get.

model on! brother

Not only is my wife supportive, she is actually going to be starting on her first one and coming with me to Jaxcon!  

In regards of the pink airplane, have you ever seen the "British Sand" painted P-40 at an airshow.  The plane is shockingly pink, and has a female pilot last I saw it.  I understand that the paint would actually fade to a pinkish shade after being exposed for a while.  The pilot just chose to take it to an extreme.  Hope that helps.  

My wife is only partially supportive of my hobby, so long as I get all of the stuff she wants done first.  Given the length of the "honey do" list, if i did not take time once in a while, I would never get anything done.  That's a big part of why I am only getting back to the hobby after about 15 years.  I do hope to post some pictures of a A-36 WIP soon, working on the cockpit and getting close to a point where i would share.  

lucky git lol

mine sort of tolerates it but always threatens to smash something up when we argue! (not daft enough to actually do it though lol)
