Confession: I've been a Baaad Boy!

Hey, as my Dad-in-Law has taught me and My Bbrother -in -Law, "BOY'S IT'S EASIER TO GET FORGIVENESS THAN PERMISSION" . I feel bad reading some of these topics as I have a wife that say's " you better get 2 of what ever, they might run out" and she has even turned me loose in the hobby store with the last words being " if you see it and want it , get it". how can a plasticholic not be in heaven with those words ringing in thier ears. and for the guy who wasn't married yet, my wife knew what she was getting into ahead of time and still married me.
buy the kits you want, and enjoy the hobby.

B. LeCren, I'm not sure how lucky I have it. I get off work in the early afternoon, come home, do laundry, cook dinner, do the shopping, mow the lawn, watch the daughter, vaccuum, etc. I'd say the wife has it made! She comes home, eats dinner, sometimes does the dishes, watches t.v. and goes to bed. To boot, she gets more sleep than I do and still complains she doesn't get enough! However, she has been prettty supportive of the hobby. When she saw me eyeing the Tamiya Panther kit w/pe parts, she said "just get it". As I always say, "She's the better half, because she puts up with me."

If my wife doesn't get her 10-11 hours of sleep a night, the day is a total waste.

See, my point exactly!

I guess I've been lucky (or blessed) with my wife of 35 yrs. She has almost always put up with my model building (there were times when we were young, had kids and having troubles making ends meet, that things got a little sticky).
Her attitude has always been "you enjoy it and you aren't out drinking and out chasing around". Besides there are hobbies out there that are one heck of a lot more expensive out there. But you have to do whatever you have to do in order to keep her. Besides I think my wife spends just about as much money on her garden.

Therrriman, your wife and mine must have gone to the same school of sleep.

Qmiester, our wives are smart, we aren't out doing temptious things, so we deserve a little thanks. Your wife may blow the money on the garden, but mine spends the dough on the shoes. I'd say my hobby is cheaper. LOL

I can only hope that I will someday have a wife as supportive as y'all got!
Oh, and I think she'll have it pretty made, seeing as I've been trained to cook, clean, and even sew every now and then! So, all my wife really has to do is put up with me, and I'll take care of the rest!

OOPS! [:0] I did it again. Only this time it was a Tamiya 1/350 USS Missouri. I got it for $30 w/$8 for shipping. Not a bad deal. $38 total.

Hi Im Tim and I too am a modelholic. I usually use this line before breaking the news..."honey I just saved us $30.00!!" But my current work is getting her into building models too. she seems interested and now she is determined to win 1st place in the WWII German armor just to show a woman can do it. Im hopin shell stick to that and get hooked :)

hey guys, we all belong to the same club dont we?

Hey monsterarmor, good for you and your Mrs., maybe she can talk to my wife about building models. My wife thinks models are something I stare at in magazines!

If you think wives are threatening, When I was in the Seminary, the Rector over heard me talking to a classmate that that month's centerfold model was curvaceous and beautiful.[:0] I had to explain that the magazine was "Model Builder" and the centerfold model was a peanut scale plan of a MiG-15 He decided that there were worse distractions a priest can suffer from. He was right. You guys with wives, I pray for you.

Hey paulnchamp, you are right, celibacy does give one more time to build.
