Modelling for a disabled DH

[Pringlesonthetable]

DH has expressed an interest in having a go at modelling, something he hasn't done since he was a boy. (He is 70!) As I have been nagging encouraging him to find an interest for years I want to encourage this.
Anyone know what I need to get him to make it easier for it to be a positive experience.
He is interested in WW2 planes/tanks or classic cars..

O

You can get kits quite easily on ebay. Does his disability affect his use of his hands? They are all quite small and fiddly.

Not directly, I think the more he uses his hands the easier it would be IYSWIM. His disability is more walking, speech.. I'm just not sure what he would need and don't want to put him off as he has expressed an interest something at last

Can you sit down together and look at some kits online and see the kind of things you’d get and what you’d need (ie type of glue)

Think that will be the plan and Amazon will be my friend lol

😂😂😂

No one else imagining him trotting down the catwalk then...?

I so thought this was going to be about needing headshots.

I would set up a work table with a good chair and have basic supplies laid out. Consider a table mounted clamp with an adjustable arm to hold items.

DH is into making tanks from a company called Coby - theyre a lego type brick. Would something like that do? From amazon

If his eyesight isn’t as brilliant as when he was younger, he might want to consider getting a decent lamp to make things easier. You can also get illuminated magnifying glasses to help with seeing the fiddly bits.

I don’t do models, but do many projects and I wear gloves when using adhesives. You can buy sized boxes of them just like they have in medical offices. So much better than accidentally gluing your fingers together

My husband does Airfix but they are a bit fiddly at times. I do Lego which is less fiddly but generally more expensive. There are some good Lego Technic sets of cars. Meccano is still around too and they do sets that make specific vehicles.

Oh, I so misunderstood the OP. 😂

Soupdragon and LazyFace...🤣😂😂😂😂😂

I won't tell DH you thought that, I'll never live it down., he will be preening .🤣
Definitely airfix rather than catwalk

I had imagined you starkers on the kitchen table whilst DH sketched you and imagined you needed tips on keeping warm and what to do about the postman :D
