every time you see something you like, you wonder "i wonder how that would look as a paper model"....

then you immediately check the internet to see if someone has made it already...

if not, you attempt a scratch build, and discover why it has not been made as a paper model.

which you bawl over for about five minutes untill you see somthing else you like...
(repeat process)

you must be a paper modeler if you unroll the toilet role and leave it in a pile on the floor just so you can get to the tube in the middle.

Don't waste all that toilet paper. It can be used as awnings on your vast fleet of paper model ships.

you wonder why anyone would waste their time with plastic kits.

**Squirrel** · #**166** 07-23-2010, 12:49 PM

if anyone asks you if you make plastic models, you say "Why? Will it fit in my printer?"

...when you have several shoe bags full of scrap paper, all organized by color and weight, labelled "For Paper Modelling - Do Not Touch."

...when you send a letter to a small summer tutoring school near you requesting that they send to you all used notebooks for "recycling purposes," even offering a sum for them(Yes, I have done this once, thankfully the owner of the school was really amicable and gave a few boxes of notebooks to me for free.).

HAHAHA!!! yes, kourin, i would say you might be a paper modeler.

You must be a paper modeler if even though this thread has been going on now for 14 months and has 17 pages worth of unique comments, you can still think of another one to add to it!

Compliments to you all (and may god help us).

The TB itself is also valuable for stuffing into wing tip and other model parts that need a little extra body.
