I’ve been an avid modeler for many years, with only a few gaps in my history. At first I was never picky about what I build, anything in any scale. Unfortunately my earlier attempts were fraught with messy gluing, bad paint jobs, etc. Almost all of these were relegated to destruction in various adventures. Since then I have become more specific in my tastes. 1/48 scale planes and armor, Sci-Fi and horror related kits. I like to have several kits going at once so I don’t have to wait to while the glue or paint dries on one kit, I can just move on to the next one. I am currently working on the following projects: 1. Revell’s 1/426 USS Arizona (a long term build as I am getting after market items). 2. Monogram’s 1/8 Black Knight of Nurnburg 3. MRC’ 1/9 Anubis and Ra for their Stargate Series 4. Moebius’s 1/124 Flying Sub with diaorama 5. Heller’s 1/144 Alaska Airlines Boing 727 6. Dungeon, mad scientist’s laboratory using some of the Monster Scenes kits 7. A conversion of Monogram’s 1/48 AD-6 Skyraider to one flown by VFA-195, flown during the Korean war and participated in a dam busting raid. And there’s plenty more where those came from as I have a modest stash of kits waiting to see the light of day!

Welcome to the Forum!
Unlike many others, I want to say this: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!
This hobby has some of the most addictive attributes going:
(A) Collectors Syndrome. There’s always another kit/book/tool/add-on you’ve GOT to get.
(B) God Complex. Within the limits of your workbench, you are a minor deity (emphasis on MINOR).
(C) Byzantine Modeler Complaint. There’s ALWAYS something that could be done better.
(D) Super-Glued Finger Ailment. (DON’T ASK.)
(E) Obsessive–Compulsive Personality Disorder. If you’re not OCPD now, you will be.
There must be many more modeling-related illnesses. You’ll find them for yourself soon enough! Welcome to the club!
Welcome to these outstanding formums…and TomZ2…you totally nailed it brotha!!
Welcome to the group! I joined this group earlier this year and I find myself visiting this site MULTIPLE times a day, from home, at work and on my phone! I would agree that TomZ2 has nailed this on the head! I can also relate to the Super-glued finger ailment…
