Re: You know that you're modelling too much when...

... you havent touched a model in weeks even though you know the local model show is coming up in a few weeks. So you wait till the last minute to complete something. But you dont get it done. Then you swear youll finish a project for next year. Then you start a new project knowing you have a whole new year to finish the project you were working on. And then a year is a long time so you start a "side detailed" project. Pretty soon youve got 20 projects going on and none of the are going to get finished in time because thertes always some other kit you want to start. Or maybe im just crazy or .... waiting to retire.... or....

Re: You know that you're modelling too much when...

...When you got some school work (or even on your job) and think: Mm,some styrene shapes....A little bit of primer...HMMMM...
...When you say to your friends: "Your jada's suck!! Even a Curbside,Flat chassis Fujimi kit is better!!" - And your friends ask: "First,what are you talking about? What the heck is a Curbside something?"

You know you model too much when u have a pile of about 200 untouched kit in your collection ( the most common one for modelers)

You know that you're modelling too much when...
You quit your well paid full time job to open a Model Shop.

Re: You know that you're modelling too much when...

When your friend introduces you to Facebook and the first thing you look for is modelers.

Re: You know that you're modelling too much when...

When your wife runs out of Finger Nail Polish remover and you give her a bottle of Mr. Color Thinner.

When your wife raids YOUR nail polish collection.

When you tell your wife that she would look great in Tamiya Weathering Set "D" colors.
