you know you're addicted to modeling when...

[shadowboy]

...your family confronts you with concern about your inhalant addiction
...you wonder what the tamiya paint code is for your car's body paint
...you are surprised to find out the engine in your real car is made of more than 4-6 pieces
...you consider your daily driver the 24:1 scale model of your tamiya kit
...you think the only automotive manufacturers out there are tamiya, fujimi, revell, monogram, ertyl, burago, hasegawa, maisto, testors...

that's all i can think up for now
feel free to add your own and be creative!!

[pkw1]

and when you have a pile of model boxes at home like you see in the "waiting models" post :flash:

[Jay!]

...You're dissapointed that your tires don't slide right off the rims.
...Your fingers are getting fatter and longer, but it just putty you can't get off.
...Heaven help anyone who actually has food in their teeth, because there are never any toothpicks to be found (at least none without paint or glue on them!)
...You're looking for a supplier that can get you a 5-gallon drum of Semi-Gloss Black.
...While you sit at your model desk, your chair is actually built from the boxes of all the kits you haven't even started yet.

:hehe:

[Protek]

...You have Technicolor rainbow colored Boogers.
...Your cat walks buy with a freshly painted Skyline body stuck to its side.
...You could build 1:1 scale model of the Eiffel tower, out of the piles of sprues laying around.
...You watch paint dry.

*The wife/girl friend wants sex, and you would sooner get that model primmed ready for painting tomorrow

"Come on! Don't you love me anymore? Uhh, I see you in love with your little cars"

[flyonthewall]

...The wife/girlfriend leaves you!!!

[Lownslow]

.......when you try to insure your models under AAA but they give you the rates of an actual 1:1 car(this really happened).

........When you treat your cars like the real one

.........When you loose your smell senses when spray painting in your house

[VideoNasty]

.........your family/freinds ask you whats all over you hands and arms....you reply while pointing at each color 'thats TS-8, thats X-18, thats XF-1, thats X-11, thats, XF-16...etc.....etc.....'

(points for knowing all those colors by Tamiya code!)

.....you get home from work and before kissing/huggin significant other, you run to your table to make sure nothing has happened to the body you sprayed the previous night......
