You can also try, Honey I'm making this for you, look
it has your name on it see "Sweet Sue"


Fly Navy, Bandit Bandit, 2 o'clock, Fox two!

I have a couple of suggestions...

Q. Why did you buy that RF-4C, when you already have 15 other marks of Phantom waiting in the loft?

A. DAMAGE LIMITATION - I was going to start collecting P-51s today, and you've seen how many of those there are in the shop that I don't have yet!

Q. Why did you have to buy another kit - we have bills to pay?

A. EXACTLY my sweetness, just think of all the money we're saving in heating bills with all that plastic loft insulation up in the roof!

Q. A 1/72 B-1B - What did you get that for? You don't even collect B-1s!

A. Well, I was considering the Revell 1/48 B-1B, but I thought this would fit on the shelf a bit better.

and the classic...

Q. Why have you bought yet another model aeroplane?

A.BECAUSE I CAN!

Oh, and it's better than spending my money on beer/other women/crack/gambling etc. etc. etc.

Thankfully, my wife is an enabler...she is a psych-nurse and understands that. She has me make a list of models that I would like and she will get me one for my birthday/Christmas/ or whenever else she wants to buy me something. The problem that I have is when she asks me how long do I think it will take for me to get them all built.

hey, if I had become so involved in modelling BEFORE I had aquired certain bad habits (instead of becoming more involved in the hobby to DISPLACE said bad habits), I might have avoided the unwanted divorce!

DO NOT TRY THIS ONE AT HOME KIDS!!! I spend xxx amount on kits . You spend xxxxxxx amount on diets, go figure (pun intended). seriously, this one can cause you pain. i found this out the hard way...yours- in modeling - Gregers p.s I'll have to remember your excuses they aint as dangerous as mine

renarts has the right answer, it worked for me.

Buy her a horse. They're expensive to maintain and time consuming.

This mean you have the time to go buy what you want and sneek it in to the house and if you get caught, turn the tables and ask her how come she needs a new saddle or why she needs to go that show this weekend.

I'm sorry guys .... this horse thing just won't work for me. My wife's best friend was thrown from her horse last Friday and spent the entire weekend in the hospital. Maybe I could get my wife a model of a horse. HHHMMMM

Ya know Robert, it starts there, first a Breyers horse, then My pretty Pony. Then I'll let you lease a horse, then the apocolypse. Honey I've bought you a horse.
How do you make a small fortune in horses? Start with a big fortune.

Works with models I suppose.
I feel your pain Trevor.

But I can buy a kit whenever I want.

Mike

I just tell my wife I need more "potty plastic"... you know, they're the kits you'll (probably) never build, but that you enjoy looking at while you're in the bathroom.

All the best,

Robert don't buy her that model, Mike's right that's how it starts.

I'm waiting for her to come to me and say "Honey, I really need my own trailer." Now that means a new truck too. Then we'll need a farm to keep it all.

It's kind of like your model collection, remember how it started out with one little kit. Now look at it.

Good point Trevor ..... I'll stand my ground .....I'll be tough ..... I'll be a MAN. I'll just whimper a little more to get the models I want.

I'm single and have never asked myself that question !!! - ( when she drops the 'honey ' you are in trouble)

My response to my wife is "I'll stop buying models when you stop buying more shoes!
