Two or three weeks ago on Tim Allen's show "Last Man Standing" he had several tank models on his desk at his work office. I was shocked to see them. I had to watch it twice. Don M.

Big Bang Theory is an obvious one I suppose. There's a Revell 1:72 shuttle on the back shelf along with an Enterprise in a few scenes. Plus there's RC stuff show up all the time.

There's also a movie called 'Along Came a Spider' with a scene showing Morgan Freeman building a wooden ship model on his dining room table.

Funny, I was going to say Big Bang. I've always tried to see for certain but it looks to me like the speed brake rudder is missing on their model. And I think the model later turns up in Raj's apartment and disappeared from Leonard and Sheldon's place, though Raj's might not be the same one. And of course Howard has a lot of space models in his bedroom at his mom's house. Some flying rockets and some plastic. Funny though, I don't think they've ever shown any of them working on a model. Seems like Sheldon would be building a rail car or something from time to time. Of course I haven't seen every episode so maybe they do.

There was an episode of Metalolcalypes where the rhythm guitarist Toki was building a model and had some planes hanging in his room.

I was in a metal band at that time when the episode first aired so naturally I totally nerded out all over that. haha

I found this screenshot of the episode.

And another with an F-14 covered in vomit. If you've ever seen the show it would make sense to you.

In season one of Elementary one of the suspects own a small airline and builds models, one of the clues to why he's the main suspects is he smells like glue after fixing a cut with glue. (I think they misunderstood, as CA doesn't smell much after it cures, and regular glue wouldn't e used in surgical settings...)

UK and Commonwealth viewers might remember this failed attempt at experimenting with glue sniffing, tentatively identified as the Airfix 1/48 Spitfire V:
