In Breaking Bad season 3 episode 2, Saul says:
" He’ll be lucky if they let him bust glue sniffers at the hobby shop."
At least I can sadly laugh at that joke knowing there’s only barley one hobby shop left in NM…

Malcolm sounds like it’s a good film, and see it has recently appeared on YouTube, not sure if it will stay there though. I guess model making here is another indicator of being somewhere spectrum wise.

I remember watching a movie back in the 80s called “Ohms” starring Ralph Waite (Walton’s fame) that was about farmers dealing with a power company that was putting large power line towers on the farmers properties. The farmers decided to take one down to try and stop it and so one of the farmers built a scale model of one of the towers that had moving parts and everything so they could see how to dismantle one of them. Tried finding the movie one line or some stills from it showing the model but haven’t had any luck.
James May from Top Gear did a series of shows called Toy Stories here is a bit from the Airfix show were they build a 1:1 scale ‘Airfix’ Spitfire. He also covers Lego, Hornby, Scalextric and Meccano in some of the other episodes

Tom needs an intervention. It’s a sick hobby and it looks like he is hooked. Poor kid.
Have been watching “Callan” the series on YouTube. Season 3 episode 4 sees Callan being assisted by his sidekick Lonely in casting a model soldier, Prince Eugene’s Standard Bearer. He then goes to a wargame convention where he uses it as a means of befriending someone the service is interested in. Later the same man is followed to Tradition of London where he buys a gift.
