How do I convince my wife?

Thanks guys. Just ticked off with her and I really don't understand her problem.

Looks like I'll tell her this summer I'm gonna get a Hayabusa and the midget porn collection will commence. Cigars would be better I think and I'll make sure to smoke the REALLY nasty ones in the house.

Either way I'll keep you guys updated.

I needed more super glue & she couldnt find the stuff that exactly matched the sample I gave her.................so she got one of each of the lot & bought them all !!
About to buy a $100,000 car (thats only about 8 bucks U.S. or 33P

) & then I will no doubt see the dark side

It could be that your wife sees all the attention you put on your Tanks and she remembers a time when she was the Tank.
Spend some time with her, take her nick nack shopping or something. Once you giver her some attention I am betting that will resolve your problem.

Let her buy some New Shoes

Think women like shoes more than jewelry

Yeah went shopping once with a gal....My eyes popped when I saw the prices of some of the shoes and accessories they shop for and if it's legit designer stuff... Heck...In comparison to a RC tank.... tanks are a bargain at any price

I'm certain I agree with what others have already touched on. John and Painless already hit the points early. Been with my GF for nearing 5 years now. She hates when I play WoT, even though I'm playing pro and making money doing it... It's a matter of in her mind I could better spending that time snuggling her, which I already do hours every day... Ladies have weird reasons for why they feel things.

Spending more time with her can usually not hurt.

My partner too. She loves Russian tanks. When I bought my Tamiya Sherman she was disappointed I didn't buy the over twice the price IS-2 instead.

I She always says, "Russian tanks are the best!"

I only mess around with my tanks like maybe 1 day a weekend and then not the whole day only till dinner then its family time. During the week I may break out my Tiger and run it around the yard for an hour between work and dinner but again afterwards its family time. My King Tiger is still in pieces, has been for going on 3 weeks now as I'm re-building it and again I do limit my time with my tanks so that can't be the issue.

IDK but I'm gonna tell her I'm ordering the half track as my Christmas present and if she gets mad I;m gonna ask her to please explain WHY she has a problem with it. If she does/can come up with a decent reason against me getting it then fine I won't and then I'm sure you'll be able to find my 2 tanks for sale soon enough as its pointless to just have these 2.

Luckily I have a woman who at least understands the pleasure in building things - she's an architect. She even likes scale - after all, she spends her days drawing BIG things small.

One day we have promised each other that we will build a model village together - once we find the right garden. Mind you,it will have to be either new-classical or ultra-modern.

However, she also hates clutter.

So we built a shed for myself and the boys to pursue our small-scale hobby away from the house. And then she complains that the house is 'too quiet'...

Counsellor?

OK... Seriously Jack.... and this could be the reason I have a Girlfriend and not a wife.... no one tells me what or how to spend my money on.... You should be free to do what you find relaxing... if her pressure on you gave you reason to give up this hobby ...I would turn the ultimatum back on her... tell her this relaxes you... that should be good enough ...everyone needs an escape sometimes...that's what hobbies are for....If I were in your shoes...I would just tell her to back off and she is about the cross the line
