For some reason this reminded me of my granny, and she would be very old if she was still alive. One of her sayings was "Everyone's queer 'cept you and me - and even thar's a little queer." Does sound the saame generation. So Mark, your granny was of the same generation as Veggie

I used to make the oils clothes and carpeting. Never really caught the bug though, it can be all encompassing especially if you specialise in a particular era and are a stickler for accuracy. Mum concentrated on 1850.
So you're not that strange Bren. Thanks JJB I've waited years to see it writing that I'm not strange
Wonder if I ought to frame it.
It's a good hobby it has something for both collectors and makers.

I have a friend who makes model railway stations...not with trains but just the station. He hunts high and low for old pictures. He loves recreating the old tearooms they used to have....sad bugger really

I suppose I kinda do that too, but virtually. I have played Sims games for as long as I can remember, and I love nothing more than building houses in it! I am a gamer so play lots of games, but right now it's Red Dead Redemption that fills my long dark winter evenings. It's set in the Wild West, and the architecture of the houses from that era is absolutely stunning, so I spend a considerable amount of time taking pictures of houses in the game, to then build them in Sims LOL Daft isn't it, but I love that creative process!

^^^ I haven't a clue what all that means but, don't try to explain it. - I'll just accept it.

Unfortunately (perhaps) I know just what she's talking about never thought I'd see miniaturists and gamers in the same thread !
