when you are responding to a fire call and using the on-board computer on the fire truck to go on AF.

When you stay home alone all day (like today) while its gorgeous outside just to apply some decals on a model.

When you take over 84 pictures of a model just to have them saved in a folder.

When you have been saving up 400 dollars for a flight to Dominican Republic and know that your not supposed to use that money yet still go to your LHS and use that money to buy some Scale Motorsports Carbon Fiber Decal and another Revell Civic Coupe.(Yesterday)
^^ now i have to hear my father complaining about how i don't use my money wisely.

When you spend 2 hours watching the list of models in HLJ just to see the box art and fantasize about the model.

When its 12am and you need to wake up at 6 am and decide to polish your model a little more.

When the first thing you do when you get home from school is to go check to see how the paint dried on your model.

When your in Art class and have a project due the same day but decide to go use the computer to check AF and not work on the project.

When your 3 days of work behind in Computer Literacy class and you're looking through the completed and in progress section to see if anyone has new progress of their models.

When you know you have a break of school next week and plan out which part of the model you will work on in that week. (monday=primer everything, tuesday=work on the interior,wednesday=do the suspension,thursday=paint the model,friday= clear coat the model, saturday=paint the tail lights and touch up on other things,Sunday=Polish the model and Assemble the whole kit.)

You fear falling off your bed while you're alseep for fear of being impaled on modeling knives or crushing newly-painted car bodies...

You can justbarely rememberwhat color the carpet in the room was

You buy a can of spray paint for a kit you hope you'll find soon

You've spent 3x more on model kits than you have on your real car

You have more than 1 of quite a few kits, and triples of some

25% of your paycheck goes toward "misc. model related expenses"

75% of said paycheck ends up going toward model expenses

HLJ sends you Christmas Cards

Everyone in your local hobby shop knows you by name

You have your own paint stash at your friend's hobby shop

You ask the guy at the hobby shop for 'the usuall' and he hands you 2 bottles flat black, Guards red, flat light ghost gray, and a hobby knife

[Future Boy]

Oh yeah...

"When did you get THIS kit?" > "I've had that for a while"

"Oh my god, that paint smell is so strong! How can you stand it?" >"What smell?"

[levincer]

When u have 30 waiting model in your ebay list, when u buy 2 more models to the same guy "just to reduce" shipping cost and when u saw that u allready won 3 times the same

[godfather23]

when you get really mad at yourself for doing something wrong on a kit that won´t be seeable after the final assembly at all

when you spend a lot of money on p/e sets that include brake discs that will be hidden totally behind your choice of wheels

[FlySkyline]

when you spend all day working on models, then go to bed sometime around 1 or 2 in the morning. wake up at 3 am realizing that you just got a brilliant idea and need to get it done as quick as possible before you forget. so you write up some quick plans (10-15 mins). go outside, fire up the dremel, have the cops called, and the next day when you get released, go back to modelling

aint that the truth
