I have just joined. I only began modelling late last year after my wife said that I would need a hobby when I retire. She had not been aware of my model RR interest, probably because I knew better than to share that in our first 35 (or is it 36.5) years of married life when she was not keen of that hobby. I am avidly reading, watching great YouTube videos, buying tools, and making mistakes while trying to learn some model-building skills (in styrene and cardstock). I live in Wellington, New Zealand, but I did study for one post-graduate year in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan. David
Welcome David! Any particular road you interested in? Don't hide too much from the wife, you never know what she might buy you! Joe
Hi David, welcome. I agree with Joe, don't hide modeling from your wife. I got back into trains early in our marriage and my wife, an artist, surprised me by building a lovely pond scene.
