And if you included your hard drive stash, 10 yrs is a mere piker!

If you dream of a machine that can cut everything out for you automatically everytime you look at a freshly printed sheet of card...

OK gang, here are some more of them! Of course, none of them in this thread so far apply to me... well, maybe one or two...

**************

the only pictures in your wallet are of your card models.

the only people you ever email are card modelers.

When your friend asks how many models you have, and there are 10 models on shelves and hanging from the ceiling, and 50 in the unbuilt pile, your answer is "10".

You have more card stock than Office Max has.

Every chair in the house is covered with tiny paper triangles.

It may be slightly more than 10 years if the downloads on the HD are included. The number 50 comes to mind... [slight smile]

Nobody asked for more of these, but here they are anyway!

You can't understand how someone could get so involved with a silly hobby like plastic models.

Your wife is not happy with the big B-52 suspended from the dining room chandelier.

You have ever glued your ring to your finger.

You have enough scrap card stock to start fires in your fireplace.

You consider a quality evening with the family to be building a card model castle.

well i'm still asking the same question about plastic model (just saw a very irritating post on a plastic modelers page on FB that said that paper models lack details and are only good for training to become a plastic modeler )

i have enough to set my entire city on fire not only the fire place

well i wouldn't say 3 more like 10 or 11 years and i'll probably still need more years

if u have a strong flu and you're only mad because you're too tired to complete your models
