Addiction

Help me someone. I started paper modelling a couple of months ago, and now I can't stop downloading and printing free models. I have piles of folders stuffed full of models.

Does this addiction get any easier?

There's no cure for this addiction.

But there's a treatment:

Get scissors.
Get some glue too.
Start building!

The addiction won't dissapear. And you will probably fall deeper into it.
But that's the best treatment for it

Yes, it eases after a while. This happened to me while searching the web for variations of "card modeling" and "paper modeling." After staying up all night visiting site after site, I stumbled onto an incredible collection of models -- human figures of all sorts, religious statues, garden sculptures, and lots of utterly unique files. Only after downloading a dozen or so did I figure out that these were electronic models for inserting into computer games. So it was slap-the-forehead time.

I'm even downloading models of subjects in which I have no particular interest... in case I might develop an interest in the future

Then that's serious.

Very serious.

No, really.

Then consider the following cure:

Count have many models you have downloaded and stored in your hard drive.
Multiply by the time (days) you spend building one model.
Make the math, to see how many centuries will it take you to build them all.
Be cured!

It usually works

Downloading is fine.
Printing everything that you download will cost a fortune in ink.

No How, No Way. No cure. Supportive treatment is to make as many as you can before you die buried in paper.

There is no cure. But admitting you have a problem
is the first step to rehabilitation!

Try designing your own, that might slow you down! ;p
