Couldn't watch the whole thing but his workbench is WAY too clean. 
I'm sure he cleaned up for company, don't no one expect that from me.

Really not about his workbench.

I'll watch it all when I get home, promise.

Thanks for posting . Really , why does anybody model ?
Probably the same reason someone else may play music , paint or spend a lot of money going really fast for six seconds down a strip of asphalt .
It's my art and I enjoy it . It's that simple...

Thanks for sharing this one Terry!
I recently also found this video on FB and shared it on a scale model group.
Sometimes there are people that just don't understand our hobby,they think it's childish and a silly waste of time
...and that bugs me somehow.
Maybe if more people saw this video they would change their minds.
Gr,Ron.

My father was one of those people and that use to bug me , but frankly when he retired he had nothing to do and that bothered him .
So, in the end I was glad to have a hobby when I retired. :idonno sad but true .

I've been modeling since I was a small child. It's just something that I enjoy to do when I get to do it.
Many years ago, my former Pastor was talking to me and referred to that "plastic thing you do" while flipping his hands around flippantly.
I got offended by his remarks because they look at our hobby as something little kids do. That grownups should, well grow up and do something not childish.
I don't care anymore what people think about our hobby.
It's my hobby and if you don't like what I do, then mind your own business.
Harsh yes! But move on out of my hobby and don't throw stones into my model pond!

What's he do, fish? Spend a bunch of money on tackle to sink a expensive lure in the water and get it snagged on something and break the line leaving it down there and not catch a thing all day?

He likes to fish, hunt and watch UK basketball. Go figure!

My Dad was like this, but he never forced the issue. I'm sure in his mind it was kid stuff, but how do you tell a grown man not to do it. Last year his attitude changed when I came home with a 50lb bronze eagle from EagleQuest "Wow people really take this seriously". This year he is going with me to EagleQuest looking forward to seeing the models there.
There's hope.

It doesn't happen often out here, but when it does, I invite people to come to my club to see the people who do this. I also invite them to a contest to let them see all these "toys" that people build and show them the error of their perception.

I got out of it for a lot of years. Never got rid of the tools or the kits I had, just stored them. Now I work on this stuff every chance I get.
When I was in my teens all I wanted to do was build models. When I joined a modelers club in my 20's I saw much better models and it changed the way I looked at building. These days the kit is only the beginning and a starting place. I need some basic inspiration to actually get something going sometimes. You folks have been very good about providing inspiration and that is much appreciated.
