Miccara Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Total Votes: 119?? This is what I see when I look at the votes. I stopped adding them up at 170. Why the difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

illithid00 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 None of these really work for me. I haven't touched a model in damn near 5 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 It's frustrating to me mostly these days. 1: I have neither the time nor space to properly do the hobby. 2: Buying models has gotten a lot more complicated, not least from rising kit prices and an increasing number of reboxings. 3: You get all excited about a new kit that you thought you'd never see, and then a ton of reviews ripping it apart one way and another until you lose intrest in it or feel like an idiot for putting your money down on it before reading the reviews. 4: The reviews themselves are frustrating because for every review that rips a kit aprat, there is someone out there that will rip the review apart and accuse the reviewer of using spurious reference material..... 5: Walking into a hobby shop is not the inspiring experience it once was for me either. I've become much more picky about what I will buy over the years as I've ended up buying kits only to get them home and feel burned somehow. (Classic Airframes' 1/48 F-5A left me feeling that way on more than one front) If the hobby is anything for me these days, it would be dormant. It isn't dead, but my building is slow and sporadic at best. I spenda fair bit of time on forums and pick up the odd magazine. I also make regular visits to the two hobby shops in town to see what's new. The hobby is still alive for me, just dormant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andrew.deboer Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Today the hobby got me out of bed at 2:30 AM to work on a model I wanted to get done for tonight's club meeting. Today I shot three different colors of paint and one clear coat through my airbrush, finished decaling, and made a stand for the model - all before the sun came up. Today I moved a model veeery close to the Finished column and it will be done by 6:30 PM. Today I took a look at the stash and liked what I saw, and have no desire to go out and add an unbuilt kit to the pile. Tonight I'll go to the monthly club meeting and have a great time, and afterward I'll take my wife out for dinner. Today, like most other days, I love the hobby.

Jinxter13 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 At differing stages of the year, and with different build I thik I could tick all of those boxes! Julien I agree 200% and could probably add some you forgot . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Why would somebody bother reading the forum if they hobby is dead to them? Don't get that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov-47 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Satisfying....very satisfying. A bad day at the workbench still beats the heck out of a lot of alternatives I can think of. Besides, I'm a 1/32 scale modeller....this is the golden age for 1/32. I love what I do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
