If I spent as much time actually building models as I do thinking about them and reading about them on the interwebs, I'd actually have a lot more models completed!!!

Ive got a stock of more then 200 kits but when i have completed a build. and i`m searching my stock for a new kit to build................................

............i always want to build a kit that isn`t in my stock, so i order some more kits.

I love paint more than I love kits. I'm always looking for paint. I go to hobby lobby for paint. I travel 1 hour...for paint. I have enough paint to paint all of my built/unbuilt kits 3 times. I still have paint jars from 15 years ago that dried a long time ago
Did someone say paint?

I get my orders delivered to work & then sneak them in the house & hide them so the Wife doesnt see....
Shes starting to notice how many paints I have & questioning me I got them.. "nah Ive had the one for ages..."gulp...
Lying to my wife for my hobby. sad....

Snap !!!!

What this old thing ? I've had it for ages...... It's a kit of a car from 1975, I could have hardly bought that yesterday, could I ???? (Harder to pull off when it's a Ferrari F2012 )

Just console yourself with the fact that she's probably doing the same thing with shoes, clothes, boots, handbags etc etc... Once it's in the cupboard, it's 'old'

- Everytime I start a model, I tell to myself "I will do this one box-stock", and I ALWAYS end up adding all the detail I can, and spending in those details and materials 2 or 3 times the cost of the kit.

If I didn't spend so much time thinking about and online-researching for models while at work, I wouldn't have to do extra hours.

Man, how many times does this happen.......ALL the time.

My stash grows from the kits fornicating with one another at night. I've heard 'em.







At least that's what I tell my wife!
