Well, to quote my doctor, it is specially sterilized CA... apparently, running a tube of CA through the microwave for a minute costs $799.

I found a new way to make money

You can now buy heavily discounted sterilized tubes of CA on my site for the low-low price of $399.99

Can´t believe what they charge you in the US!

About noticing you must be a paper modeler if...
- your digital camera is broken and you feel empty and bored because you can´t post any building reports on your favourite paper modeling forums.
- you consider buying a new external HDD for your computer because you need the space for all the models you downloaded from the net, both freeware and payware and for all those ultra high rez scans you did of kits you want to repaint.- Someday!

Actually, both of this is happening to me right now... :D

Regarding the former, I have a similar thing going on where I want to take build pics, and while my camera is functioning, I can't take them because the SD card is in my computer, which is in the shop, waiting for me to come by and pay for it...

Regarding the latter, all my paper models are on their own dedicated drive.

And as for the thread subject, you might be a paper modeler if you've ever looked at a plane, tank, locomotive, etc., seen all the flat parts made from sheet metal, and thought, "Y'know, I bet this would be easy to make in paper."

If you see an obviously photoshopped mash up of several different things, and still try and figure out how to design a model of it...

Yepp, I also got them on their own drive, because some can´t be found anymore on the net.

2nd point: Guess why I like to model cars from the eighties? Hmmm...
But then again, I also like the Supermarine Spitfire with all those lovely compound curves.

You must be a paper modeler if you visit a grave yard and wonder how all of these dead people have Recolors In Process

Your co-workers run in terror when you enter the office with another card model needing a home in a cubicle.

You are a paper modeler when you check the packaging thickness before reading the ingredients of food stuffs.

You are a paper modeler when you buy products you don't particularly like just because the packaging suits a current build, or could do so one day.
