Hello all,I'm in the process of creating a website whose purpose is to helppeople do nice things for each other.Many times, you want to do something for someone, but all you knowabout them is that they are interested in a particular hobby oractivity that you don't know much about.I'm collecting information about as many different hobbies as I can.So...two questions.1. What do scale modellers like/need/want?I'm looking for a list of things that someone else could pick out foryou that you would really enjoy receiving. This can include items, giftcertificates to particular stores, magazine subscriptions, books,favors, trips to events, etc. Anything that you would find usefuland/or desirable in your capacity as a scale modeller. These don't haveto be "bought" items. If you really need lots of empty egg cartons, putit on the list!2. If I was married to a scale modeller, and wanted to betterunderstand what they are talking about over the dinner table withoutactually becoming a scale modeller myself, what books or websitesshould I look at?Any information would be appreciated by myself and likely by thefamilies and friends of many scale modellers! The people on the othernewsgroups I've posted to have had a great time suggesting material fortheir pages. I hope you do too! :)If you want to see what the results look like, click on any of thelinks on this page under Find Out What They Like. (The one on AntiqueTractor Pulling is for the spouse I sponsor.) the site contains no tracking tricks, cookie stuff, popups, infocollection devices, traps, context-based ads or links to anything thatwasn't recommend by an active hobbyist. I really am doing what I sayI'm doing. It's *my* hobby. :-)

Well Modelers,

I'll be moving on soon, but I'll keep an eye out here for a while longer.

The Military Scale Modelers page is completed and linked into the rest of the site. Thank you very much for all your input. I had tremendous fun talking to you and researching your page. I hope you all receive much sponsorship and very fine loot! May your decals always go on smoothly and your paint jobs have no cat hairs.

Feel free to email me or use the contact form on the site if you want to add anything. Enjoy your upcoming gathering!

Sponsor a Military Scale Modeler!

You really should consider adding the link that I suggested to Tony's site.

I already did. It's under the Tours section. I think his list of museums and exhibitions is excellent "sponsor" material. Is there another part of the site you think is good for modeler sponsors (as opposed to modelers themselves)?

*sigh* BTW, I'm off getting yelled at by the barbecuers now. I do wish there was some way to start these threads without getting accused of all sorts of evil intentions. The threads always turn out so well, but they start off so hostile. I really wish the spammers and the scammers hadn't made everyone so suspicious and angry.
