"You must be a paper modeler if...."

[hancocp]

... your boss tells you to attend a seminar in Paris and the very first thought that crosses your mind is "great - I can get those French papermodels I've wanted for years".

and then

... immediately ask on here about where in Paris they sell them.

While my two co-workers are up the Eiffel Tower I'll be trawling through bookshops

you own a paper replica car , a paper house , a paper dog

I don't know what made you think of starting this thread, but I have laughed so hard I have been wiping tears. I guess I see myself. Thanks for making my day guys

You must be a paper modeler if when you walk through the office at work and you notice that ALL of your coworkers are displaying models that you gave to them.

You must be a paper modeler if:
- Mike Bauer tells you that you need to read this thread. :D
- You spend $100.00 on various boxes of pencils, $60.00 for various pitts pens, $20.00 on crayons, $75.00 on various tools, blades, knifes, $60.00 on a cutting board, $400.00 on a birthday present (new camera) so you can take images and video for the forum and then say that you gave up plastic modeling because it was too expensive.
- You miss a pipe band gig in Chicago to finish a piece on a model (I really did do this too)

Cheers

Similarly you can tell a glues age, type, brand and bottling plant by its smell, aroma and consistency while blindfolded.

Don’t forget the taste, depending on the year some glues age better then others…

You must be a paper modeler if....Your Boss gets a scale model of his new company Hilux with logo's and number plate the day after he has bought it.
