Model trains. I don't bring it up because it's obscure, but I've definitely found there's a stigma. "Oh he's the guy who plays with trains". Screw the haters, I like to relax after work and do a bit of escapism. Eventually I got over it though and talk about it with friends, but it's not the first thing I bring up either
Letβs see those train pics, my dude! Let that conductor-freak flag fly here.
Not quite ready unfortunately, still in the "lots of pink fiberboard and paper mache" phase, but oh I will when we're done. We're probably too small for a model trains community, but I'll probably be hanging out in !trains@lemmy.ml
Sounds silly but there's definitely an audience for steps of the process as well as the final product
So when you're ready to share the final results I know (at least me) some people who would love to see progress shots too
