I have an activity that will change your life!
This one is a ripper because for me it ticks a lot of boxes. Firstly - I am a shipping geek. This means I like big ships.
Most summers I rent the same eco friendly tiny house house in Gibraltar, put on my ships captain hat, wheel out a deck chair and with binoculars in hand (18 hours per day) I watch bulk carriers enter and leave the channel.
I like watching them in the morning, in the afternoon and evening because the light is different.
I make sure I have a freezer full of organic chicken wings, bbq sauce and Eastern European beer. I might take a probiotic to help with my stomach.

So with shipping geek credentials verified I have a hobby that is 'next level'. This one we can do from our own homes (tick), this one we get to actually perform a physical function instead of tapping on a computer (tick), this one has a meditative element important for the wondering mind of chartering people everywhere (wellness tick), and this one we can do 'even' while negotiating (improve performance - bloody big tick).
SHIPBUILDING!
Not big ships - small ships. Some of you may already be converts.
These guys are the best in the business Premiership models
Entry level
As a lockdown activity this is a no brainer. Buy an elite model and you will be at it for months - maybe years..
If you are still an office goer - think of this scenario. Big day at work, 9 pm in the evening, you are sick of watching tv, Netflix, trolling the Net, speaking to your loved ones....and..... they may in fact be sick of talking to you (been there!). Plus you may be working on a deal.
Your mind cannot switch off. Go to the liquor cabinet poor a glass of Red (or a lemon lime and bitters) and slowly move toward your home office.....close the door (lock if necessary). Laid out in front of you is an amazing labour of love. A 'slow hobby' to get you back on track.
Advanced
I have done an extensive search (for myself) and even contacted a few for a chat.
These guys have the best product. High variety, High quality models kits.
I had a chat to the owner Rashid Lalloo who is a super nice guy. The business itself has a great story and after becoming interested I found this press release https://www.pr.com/press-release/785529. Well done to them.
Send Rashid an email rashid@premiershipmodels.com and if you tell him 'the virtual shipbroker sent you' - he will look after you. I told him ship chartering people always look for deals..its in our DNA
