you may be obsessed with modeling if...

1) your closet looks like this...http://images.fotki.com/v8/photos/1/10258/17860/Decisions-or.jpg ;)

2) your floor is covered in flash

3) you've debated over what tamiya acrylics smell like (my vote is for cantelope!)

4) your collection stainless steel clamps/scalpels/picks are enough to make your surgeon and dentist envious

5) the local drug store clerk thinks you have some sort of advanced bacterial ear wax and terminal gum gingivitis from the number of cotton swabs and tooth picks you buy each month

6) you know the tamiya colour chart by heart

7) you see a new white ____ driving down the street and think it would look better with darker panel lines

8) you use more toothpaste on your models than on your teeth

9) your neighbours tell their kids to stay away from you as they see you giggling and doting around your yard taking pictures of little cars on wet splotches of pavement

10) you spend more time on AF than working and know all the codes for the smiley faces

...

i'm sure everyone here can think of more!...:p

Very funny:hehe:

hmm mind the thread title lol it's been a long day!
*edit*

11)You sleep with the instruction's of your next kit under the pollow because you read and study them before going to sleep....well its what i do anyway :D

I guess I am addicted. Here is one Whenever you go on a trip somewhere new you have to know where the hobbyshops are. I always wanted a bumper sticker that said this car stops at all hobby shops.

A bad paint job ruins your day(why do we get like that?)Sometimes I forget it is just a hobby.

I'm not addidcted to modeling. I'm not addicted to modeling. I'm not addicted to modeling. I'm not addicted to modeling. I'm not! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Well, here's a pic to prove it;) I still have more, but they are literally "buried" all around the house. Hmm....... sometimes I miss the ones I don't see for awhile. :p
