The Evolution of an Armor Modeler...

  1. Built models as a kid, ages: 5-15…Infancy period[:I]

  2. Shelved modeling for girls and cars, age:16ish…Enlightment period[:O]

  3. Models collecting dust in closet during college party years, age 18-21 (present for some of us)…Gluttony period[party]

  4. Models still collecting dust during marriage years, age: 25-35…Insanity period[D)]

  5. “I better break out those kits to keep myself busy!”, age: 36-present: Abstinence period

  6. Finish a kit, no paint or detailing: Neandrathal period

  7. Models built WITH painting and detailing: Renaissance period

  8. Airbrush skills added: Bernulli(sp?) period

  9. Weathering skills obtained: Barametric period

  10. Photo-etched parts discovered-Insanity rediscovered period

  11. Fruili’s track replacement: Cashless period

  12. IPMS Nationals entry submittal: Humility period

…Comradery and shared skills on the forum: current period…hope you enjoyed this, add at will…cheers fellas!!![#toast]

Thought of a few more personal ones…

  1. Get your build on the cover of FSM and be in a Rock Band-“doog”-envy period

  2. Thinking you’ll weather 'em like disastermaster someday-Fooling Yourself Period

I guess I’m a mixture of a lot…best one would be the Enlightenment period…but I’m in college, lol…I’ll tell you if it works or not :confused:

  1. “CAVE PAINTING PERIOD” 13. If anybody wants me, I’ll be downstairs airbrushing on my model for a while (LOL, for a while, LOL, that’s rich.) “The Cave Painting Period”.

Thanks Steve. Know where I am now. Just call me Renaissance Man !

Ok, this brought a smile to my face. Although, I now see I ahve done it all wrong.

  • Infancy period–check
  • Enlightenment Period–skipped
  • Gluttony Period–skipped [revisited later on]
  • Insanity Period–skipping and jumping ahead.
    As for the rest, I have hit all of those, my problem is that I found Renaissance - Cashless all at the same time. And I haven’t yet hit the Humility Period, however I am in the pre-Humility period [entered IPMS Regionals]

#1 yep…on the right track.

2 thru 4; yep, what a waste. Looks like what I did.

5 is what I DID

Skipped 6, always did 7.

Don’t remember where 8 came in.

I think 9 has always been there.

10 is presently confined to kit parts. I like to construct/improvise my own instead of using other’s work.

11 is yet to be seen, but may be seen in the future (I like being able to bring kit tracks to life).

12 Well, being on this forum is actually more satisfying (to me) than the contests. I wind up going to contests largely for the kit bargains and to see other’s work up close.

Good idea here SMJ…

I’m in the Early Baroque era of my modeling. Many many new ways of doing things, new pathways, new ideas. New forms and styes, all opening before me, but it does not mean I can take full advantage of them yet.

im in the middle of the airbursh/weathering/photo etched period and scared/confused lol, oh and dreaming of the FSM cover period [:D]

Whoa! that is right on. i haven’t quite made it to 11 yet but am putting some AFV club tracks on an M5. Not to 12 either, have entered some local contests. Have made it to FSM Reader Gallery and my son is in a rock band but I think that is my zenith so I will give props to the doog and disastermaster, I enjoy your work gentlemen!

Thanks so much for the compliment, it is very much appreciated.

I been gettin’ PM’s all evening and it’s hard to answer all, catch up on my post and monitor the new stuff too.

But, I genuinely love it.
