My name is Karl and I have a problem.........

.........thing is I have this urge to buy boxes of plastic and then spend many hours attaching them to one another with evil smelling concoctions before covering it with layers of yet more smelly substances!

I tried kicking th habit, and was successful for almost a decade, but the arrival of kids, just served as an excuse to buy model trains. Trouble is, the self same model shop that sells the trains, you know who you are, stocks aircraft and armour kits too!

Well it's too late now. So here I am with modelling time split between planes trains and tanks!

Currently on the bench: AZ Models 1/72 Mig 17PF

Welcome to FSM Karl ...... yup ... you're definitely hooked .... serious case of AMS. The good news is, it's not fatal (unless the wife sees how much you spend), but there is no chance or recovery. It comes at a person in waves sometimes or the symptoms stay with some constantly, you never know. You've come to the right place though, many forums filled with others afflicted people just waiting to help you through this.

Go buy 2 models and call us in the morning.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Hello Karl!

We shall not starve your illness, but feed it instead!! Call us when the level of kits rises high enough to impair your breathing. We'll gladly come and take a few off your hands...

It must be something going around because I recently came down with the same symptoms. Welcome to the forum.

Sorry Karl. Most of us here are also infected with the same disease. And there's no cure in sight. Absolutely not here, anyway.
