[quote]Not the coolest of hobbies but i like building and painting model boats and war ships..[/quote] That's actually really fun. I do a lot of WW2 and WW1 scale models and I love it! Don't put your hobby down because of other opinions, if you really enjoy it that's the only thing that matters! [spoiler]I've never actually came across another scale modeler, how do you like it?[/spoiler]

Have you been doing long? And do you do or enjoy anything in particular like the planes, tanks, ships? And yeah i really enjoy it, there's something relaxing about it and it keeps my mind off everything else where you have to focus. I enjoy restoring ones that people haven't finished or have just neglected over years. I got this battered old Santa Maria at a bootsale last year and i sanded it all down, re stringed, made the sails and repainted it and it was such a lovely feeling seeing it looking fresh and new again 😁

I've been at it about a year. I enjoy building tanks and aeroplane's mostly. I've never actually done any ships, but I have done figurines at 1/32 scale. I love the delicacy in the work, and the pride of creating a worthy display piece from bits of plastic. I started with no experience whatsoever, and I'm still learning, which can be frustrating. But I enjoy it very much. I might add some pics of my work when I get home :)
