I generally don't worry about it too much. Most people that I meet actually
don't find it that odd. If anything, they find it a quirky but acceptable
hobby. I actually get stranger reactions from people when I tell them that I
paint miniatures for historical war-games. At train shows I do occasionally get
"You *do* realized these are toys, right?", to which I reply "Yeah, but have you
seen the stuff those n-scale guys play with?", which usually earns me a smile or
a chuckle. I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't accept my hobby, and
if I do, it's not likely I'll convince them of anything they don't want to
believe anyway.
