Animal isn’t demented, he’s like every drummer I’ve ever met or played with LOL….Chores - given at breakfast time to go down with the Wheatabix....
Tea - when stomach tells me, or if it is a roast meal I can tell by the curses and the crashing of pots and oven door slamming, bit like Animal the demented drummer on the Muppets....
Actually, you might be in to something there……but I think that’s because they get fed up with everyone saying how much easier bass must be than guitar because it has less strings…..funny that no one ever says that about violinists isn’t it.......but never as strange as base players.
You are not alone, though certainly in a minority.As a returnee to the hobby, I do not understand "The Stash"
Steve, keep that up and in about five years time you are going to need a bigger house LOL.I got back into the hobby around 6-7 weeks ago and in that time I've gone from a stash of 0 to a stash of ..let me check.. 10 ..I may have a problem already eeek!
Ha! That's how it starts, Aunty buys you a kit for Xmas, then the other relatives who have no idea what you like, cotton on to the fact that Aunty bought you something that kept you quiet so the adults could talk.... Then the 'hobby' goes away as you develop other 'interests' or work and a family get in the way... BUT! in the back of your mind is that little voice, that nagging, that lustfull urge as you pass by the model shop, or the model magazine on the newsagents shelves, it has never gone away, it has always been there, even when having the craft snog in the model shop doorway, lips all puckered up but one eye roving over all those goodies on display on the shelves... Then you reach the age of real adulthood, the little darlings have all grown up and flown the nest (big sigh) the house is empty, work is no more, golf has lost its pull after you pulled the last six balls though the chairmans greenhouse windows.... Gardening offers no challenge except you wonder why Smiggins next door can grow anything and all you can do is kill every living plant, weeds and the grass as you mow it... So you dicuss it with SWMBO and she agrees but only that it does not intrude into the house, and that the kitchen table is cleared for when Mother comes on Sunday for dinner.... Eventually Mother goes to the land of all Mothers and there is just the two of you, SWMBO happy in her little circle of friends, tea visits, gardening and other mysteries that women can discuss with not a word said but an eyebrow lift here or a glance there and communication is made, while you are left to kick a stone around on the patio because you are not into their circle of mind talk... Eventually you broach the subject again of making models, and there is that spare bedroom full of junk, and how you could clear it out and the models would remain in the room and how you could go there when the females are having their pow-wow and be out of the way, only to appear at the bottom of the stair for the goodbye air kiss as they leave, and they all comment on how pasty you look and that you should be out more, try taking up golf!!!!A few moths ago, I decided to get back into this hobby, after an absence of many decades. I then posted this thread as I could not understand why modellers created such huge stashes of unmade models. As I have not yet finished the workshop we are building (will it ever stop raining and dry up?) I still have nowhere to work. I have been buying the odd tool and some modern paints etc. (acceptable!?) However, I can now see how 'The Stash' develops. With every sinew in my body, I have tried to resist the temptation to buy kits... It did not work. I now have a stash of four!
I will not buy any more until my workshop is ready... Honest!
