I suppose it ought to work both ways - she's got "nothing" to wear (extrapolating the situation a bit), and you've got "nothing" to build. Or am I oversimplifying things a bit here...?

hahaha true! but for some reason having a 15th pair of shoes thats the right shade of red makes more sense (sarcasm) than having "another phantom kit in a different livery"

Wives seem to complain only when having "joint" account:P

Nothing on materials or tools as I'm using cardboard packaging and greetings cards and have equipment left over from my time as a graphic artist with which I'm drawing up a 'freelance' 67' steam yacht of c1900, to a scale of 8mm : 1', which is the first card model I've built.

The one thing I think all paper modelers should have is a set of refillable cartridge's! That alone has saved me a bunch!! As for the wife, build something for her every now and then. My wife has a full set of Cannon Bears (starting with the wedding bears right after we got married).......Rich
