    Is there such a thing as "enough" for folks like us? ๐Ÿ˜

    When is enough, enough? One must remember that this is a hobby. It is not our profession. It is something we do to stay flexible, keep our minds active, during the cold winter months. At least here in Canada.

    You could try reading the full series of Louis Pennyโ€™s books. Or All Creatures Great and Small, or something else.

    Try baking, or puzzles, or community service groups. Some sort of social interaction that stimulates creativity.

    Take an art class in Oil or acrylic painting, sketching or other forms of artistic expression.

    You could also take a look at your boat and see if it can be modified?

    There probably isn't an easy answer to this problem.โ˜น๏ธ Can the Xmas boxes go anywhere else?

    I'm lucky that I do have models in the house. My wife's sister mentioned that she liked model boats and wouldn't mind one on display. So my wife couldn't argue too much when I said "there, they make nice display items!"

    I think I'm pushing my luck though now as when I buy or build another she says "and where's that one going?"

    I won't show you all my photos to rub salt into the wounds, but here's a few of my builds, never mind my RTR boats and yachts.

    Ahhh; the age old problem. Most folks I know begin selling some of their boats. Iโ€™ve done that, do that. Ya ainโ€™t gonna make any money! ๐Ÿ˜ Iโ€™ve also donated a few to local museums & donated a few for auction by charitable organizations.

    Hi all, lack of space in the house means I am confined to the loft for my modelling.
    Along with the usual problems such as spray painting, which restricts my choice of paints etc, I seem to have run out of room. My loft isn't massive but I have squeezed in a sizeable table and a few racks/shelves for my builds.
    However, it's also used for storage for a lot of other stuff, camping gear, the obligatory Xmas boxes etc.
    I have now run out of shelf space for new builds. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
    SWMBO forbids any of my builds to be displayed around the home, I don't debate this with her as she tends to overlook the amount of money I spend on my hobbies....๐Ÿ˜‰
    What do YOU do with your builds when you run out of space?
    I should add I build mostly static which drastically reduces the selling options!๐Ÿ™„
