Anyone try to talk their friends into models?

I'm curious if anyone here tried to spread modelling among their friends. There are a few people around here that I know are friends.... was it friends first then modelling, spread from one to another? Or was it modelling first, and that's what made friends?

None of my friends have any desire to build models, though in the past I have had friends who built armor or aircraft, and have some now that are into wargaming. My girlfriend once tried to take an active interest, and suggesded that she join me one week in a build. So we went to my LHS where said she could have whatever she wanted. She bought a Gundam model, and with my guidance she built it. When done, she said, "Modelling is great! For you." and though she tolerates me spending time with plastic instead of her and enjoys my finished projects, she has never again attempted to weild an X-acto knife or paint brush.

Who here has tried the same? Any luck? I am curious.
