arizonajirt Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 When your wife can tell what bit has hit the wooden floor by sound alone. and this is true. I even tested this. she could identify what I dropped by sound. It was quite disturbing.

Azulz Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 When I lived in cambridge there was a little hole in the wall store (can't remember the name) in the corner there was a box with a sign, it said 1£ per handful....it was full of bits from all sorts of games so I offered the owner 20£ for the whole thing (it was a nice large box)!!! Still use those bits today.

Lorenzen Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 when your kitchen counter has an engraved tactical arrow in it from the stencil you made for your rhino hatches. when you've remodelled the same character 3 times rather than doing something usefull like finishing your army. and when your bits box is a chest of drawers.

Red Wolf Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 When you have armies that you will never use, but you made them for the modeling and painting challenge. When you have miniatures that are older then your opponents. When people complain that your miniatures don't follow the rules, (i.e. Old Terminators on normal round Slotta bases) When people compliment you on your conversions, that in fact are regular miniatures that are 15 years old. Oh I can think of a lot of anecdotes regarding old miniatures.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 ... When you regularly say things like "Emperor preserve us" when disgusted, and "By the Emperor" is your favorite exclamation ... When you look at models you did two years ago and think "Wow that needs improvement" ... When you don't have any models with paintjobs over two years precisely because of the above ... When you've used paint stripper more than fifteen times ...

Gawain Veteris Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 You know you've been modelling too long... - When you spend a considerable portion of your student loan on a Space Marine Megaforce - When you proceed to spend more time considering what you will do with this Megaforce than studying - When you constantly remind your girlfriend that you have purchased said Megaforce and to not expect much attention for some time - When your reaction to any form of misfortune makes you wish you could take a boltgun to it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239063-you-know-youve-been-modeling-too-much-when/page/4/#findComment-2934006 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techmarine Data007 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 At least thats better than drinking the water in your pot. Good tip: GW paint flavoured water does not taste nice.... I don't find it terribly bad, myself. Honestly, I've disposed of water this way because a drain was not a convenient option at the time.

commander alexander Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You know you've ben modelling too much- -When you have nearly severed the tendons in most of your fingers, and those precious opposable thumbs. -^^Had to go to emergency room for "modelling" related injuries.^^ -^^Have nurses and secretaries give you funny looks when you fill out questionares on your hobbies (for doctors offices) and you list "modelling".^^ -You become a hoarder of bits, bobs, thingies, doo-hickies, scraps and just plain trash. Because of what if. -You absoluetly can't get that idea out of your head. -Freak way out when you lose a really special bit or model. -Cry when you had a model that was coming out really well, and you ruined it. -Get very angry because said model is ruined, and it was all your fault. -Daydream constantly about 40k related stuff. -Realize you have probably spent as much in these little plastic men, half of which are probaby cut up or gone, as half the value of your car. -Feel like growling and biting at people (space wolf) -You favorite phrase with your 40k playing friends is, "for thuh empruh!!!". -All you want for Christmas is a real plasma cannon. Preferably mounted to your car........ "Please move traffic, you have 10 seconds. 10.... 9.... 8.... 7...." ===Edit=== Oh, I almost forgot. You have also been modelling too much when fingerprint scanners reject you unless you have a good coat of super glue on.
