Scale Modeling As A Hobby

What is a scale model? A scale model is a replica of an item which can be smaller or larger than the actual size of the represented item.

Now, hobbyists built scale models for various reasons. Some built them because their work require them to do so. For example, moviemakers made scale models to represent buildings or characters which cannot be built in the full size. I always marvelled at how some movies are filmed. In the Star Wars movies, many beautiful and detailed models are made. Many of the scale models look so real that it makes me wonder how much effort they put into it. I truly believe the modelmakers really enjoyed what they do to be able to produce such wonderful pieces of art.

Some hobbyists built scale models purely because they enjoy doing it. They enjoy the building process. They enjoy painting the scale model. They learn about the history of the scale model they are building. They enjoy every tiny little piece of moment when they build the scale model.
They love to share what they are doing with their friends and fellow modelers.

This is what a hobby is about. It should make you happy during your free time. It should make you excited. You know you will have something to look forward to after a hard day of work. No matter what your hobby is. It will grow together with you and keep you happy in your free time.
