We are now seeing lots of new people on the forums wanting to try their hand at building working model boats.

Does this constitute a displacement activity?  %)

Being stuck at home building models to avoid Covid19, OR, being stuck at home avoiding Covid19, with 10 inches of heavy wet snow, no power, and the having put the snow blower and blade attachments for the tractor away for the season, not to mention not being able to find the tractor this morning. :}

I made a mistake in  building a seven foot boat (HMS Agincourt) as two people carrying it from lockdown to the car have difficulty maintaining a two metre separation distance whilst each holding one end.
Had I known the virus would strike I would have built a nine foot model.

Had visions of the boat being slung under a pole of ten foot (from a barge possibly), like something out of a carry on film with sid james and franky howard or star wars the return of the Jedi.  O0 {-)

Being at home trying not to catch the virus and avoiding talking to the neighbours, at least with snow they would only stay out for a minute or two, with the temp outside over 19 C the buggers want to talk over the fence  >>:-(

Except that the latest comments coming from the Government suggest the last bit should be Summer 2021 or later for a lot of us.  :((
