DRUMS01 I'm not sure about any of you in our forum, but just recently I've received just about every kind of response (except positive) when sharing anything related to scale model building.

I still get that stupid blank face expression when I show someone a model I've built. Now I only show models if someone asks to see them in my display case(s) but occassionally I will still get that stupid look.....and without comments.
To me, the most offensive dismissive thing they can ever say is (while slowly walking away) "Oh, that's pretty"....and switching to a different subject. That's similar to saying "ok Lil' boy, be nice now and go away"
I figure that a lot of people are just missing a lot of life when thay can't appreciate the little everyday things. Serious model building requires a lot of determination and intelligent observation. How can these "grownups" lack the ability to distinguish between toys and scale models..... that's not too grown up. Some of the most complex inventions started out as a scale model prototype, not a toy.
There's a lot more I could say but this covers it........
"I pity the fool", as MR. T would say.
Well sometimes my wife who is very supportive says a certain model is cute,that doesn't count though.
I tell her their not cute,their tough and cool
"My friend restores antique tractors and steam engines. He is actually one of the people most interested in my modeling. Helps that every couple years I make him one for a Christmas present if I can find a suitable subject. (And he even has them displayed as well in his home)"
Roden makes a 1/35 WW1 artillery tractor. kinda the forerunner to catepillar. i did some searches and found some civilian color schemes and did mine that way.

we have a club in Denver and i am also in one in Colorado Springs. i do the combined newsletter for both clubs. tankboy51 and Eaglecash867 drop me a PM if you want more information.
my model building combines with my teaching history and staying current on iinternational affairs as best i can. i am sytill in PT for shoulder surgery on March and i take finished models for them yto look at. did the same for my doctor. all, interestingly, are females. i figured i talked about enough. all were quite positive and made it feel like i was doing them a favor binging them in. most of my friends are model builders or history buffs so no one is dispariging.
as for dinosaurs just finished this. see more in figures/ T-rex. $8.00 snap kit. have many more dinos in the stash.
