Ok, you got me curious. Survey done! [:D]
Could you post a link to the article on this thread when it’s published?
I’m curious to see the results.
Done.
Thanks to Gamera, BlackSheepTwoOneFour, and Bruce (hogfanfs) for taking the time to complete the survey. Much appreciated.
Cdn Colin, I’d be happy to post a link when I get this finished and written up.
Happy modeling,
Larry
P.S. - when this is done, I might find time to complete my half finished model of Weaver’s P-51D.

I was required to complete an Army survey my first year in the Army. I was sent follow up surveys every few years or so for a couple of decades. I still get follow up surveys even though I retired in 2011.
Interesting questions, I played, you have another one done…
Wirraway, XF-15DCC - thanks for completing the survey. Very much appreciated.
Rob, I won’t send you any follow up surveys. I promise.
Best to all,
Larry
All done.[:D]
Not worried about follow ups, I filled out your survey. I understand the importance of surveys.
Rob, Keyda81,
Thanks for completing. Much appreciated!
Best to all,
Larry
Pretty Kool! Makes Ya think thru a bunch a’stuff. Thanks for the oppurtunity.
I believe I did it in under 30 min. Do I get extra credit? Or, conversly, is there a Curve?
I hope it gives us all a better insight into our Leisure time and Life in general.
Thanks Again,
Jim.
Well i got to the first question and it said it didnt need my input, lol! Asked if model building was my primary leisure activity I responded No (since moto riding has a very slight edge over modeling for me) and it said Thanks, bye! Maybe i should retake it and swap my priorities
didn’t you know that honesty does not work well for online surveys [;)]
Jim (Nino) and smeosky,
Thanks for taking the time to take part. I really appreciate it.
smeosky, no disrespect was intended. The whole purpose of the study was to compare people who consider their primary leisure activity to be model building to people who consider their primary leisure activity to be creating art. That’s why answering “neither” to the first question behaves the way it does. No one has ever done research on hobbyists before, so I need to start with people who clearly consider themselves to belong in one or the other group, realizing that many (if not most) people would be like you and possess more than one “primary” leisure activity. I feel like I might be babbling at this point - did that last bit make any sense?
Best,
Larry
I did the same as smeosky last week, but was afraid that mentioning it might skew your results with people who now know they must answer it “corrrectly” if they want to complete the poll. However, it’s great that you allowed for a Null set and prevented a false dichotomy from watering down the results. You’re right, there are many of us who thoroughly enjoy modelling, but it is not our major leisure time activity.
BTW- You’ll never make it as a professional pollster, you’re too honest![:)]

I took the survey, and now I’m thinking I might need counseling.[:$]
Well , I took the survey .
I felt that more definitive answers should’ve been allowed on some of the questions . But it was par for the pschycological surveys the hospitals give to serious candidates for major heart surgery . I did mine AFTER joining the "Zipper " club.
The " Zipper " club is those who have had open heart surgeries of any kind where the chest was cracked to do the job . That’s me . Twelve weeks recovery now . T.B.
Yes, I see that we need to be honest on Is Modelling the Primary Hobby question. For me, yes. It’s the only way I can sit down and relax and convince the wife I have to do “Research” on the WEB.
Happy Modelling Tanker-Builder. Good Luck to you on recovery. I hope you never have to Un-zip again.
Jim.
I can see how this survey would make a person think they might have a problem.
I dont feel that I must build or die… but I dont feel like stopping either.
NO! YOU CANT MAKE ME STOP! must glue…must glue… must glue…
