                        You've all cracked me up! Anyhoo, you can see there's not much to do while waiting for fire missions. I sure thought up a lot of cool projects while I was sittin' though!

                        (I did chew on an Airfix Sherman when I was a little kid once... is that bad?)

                        The kits are lower in cholesterol, though a bit hard to digest. Tongue [:P]

                        Ok, sorry Ron, yes I understand what you're saying and agree completely. I get that warm fuzzy feeling when I get a new kit and drool over it a bit, and hope I get to build it in my lifetime. I admit it, I'm addicted to buying. I'm just a slow builder.

                        Yea Eric and if you think that warm fuzzy feelnig of looking ion the box is great , it's nothing like the one of looking at a finished kit Big Smile [:D]Wink [;)]

                        Could there be a link between models and comfort food? I don't know, I've never seen my models eat very much. The rug eats a lot of model parts, but I don't know if it derives any comfort from it, I know I certainly don't! The cat seems to like the crunchy little parts, so I guess you could say he does. I like eating comfort food while building models, so it would be hard for me to distinguish it as a separate feeling! Sorry, guess I'm not much help.

                        You guys are hilarious! As for an honest answer to this thread.....yes in a way. It's more comparable to Christmas morning, when you rip apart the celophane and take off the lid to see what's inside. A kind of collective sigh comes over you as you admire the nicely packaged sprues and think of it as many smaller presents inside a larger present. A certain gratification fills your inner body as you read and then reread the directions again and again. Yah, sort of comparable. Man I need a vacation!

                        I skipped the future, lightly toasted my Tiger I and covered it with Lingonberries and sour cream. Delicious. Better than I could have hoped.

                        Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 2, 2004 1:43 PM
                        At 2330 local the other night, I was waiting for a fire mission when I began to think about the 'good feeling' I had from a cookie I was eating (our Battery Commander has a wife who bakes like a pro!). Anyhoo, I began to consider that I have that same 'happy' and 'comfortable' feeling when I get a model kit. Could there be a link between models and comfort food??
