[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miniaturists. I’m still best friends with a lady 20+ yrs later and she’s 30+ yrs older than me*. I’m also still friendly with several ladies from the same group. 
*I also have friends my own age[/quote]

What kind of hobby is this?  You make miniatures?  Of what?[/quote]

NP. Usually they make furniture, food, or other things to scale, often 1::12.

To top pp,  I used to make miniatures one my own. Is there a local group, or a meetup?[/quote]

PP is correct, we made miniature scenes, rooms, dollhouses by making all of the components by hand. There were also shows we would go to and buy minis. The group I was in disbanded mainly because the majority have aged and are 75yo+ now. There is N.A.M.E., National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts, on FB and they have a website. The FB page is pretty active and you don’t have to be a paying member to join it if your just looking for a local club. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing- I used to love making miniatures but all of my favorite shops have closed.  Now my eyes are going but I have a budget for actual tools.[/quote]
