To me building models is all about self-gratification. I do it for myself and only myself. Sure I like to share my work with others. If people respond well to something I built it boosts my ego, if they say that my model stinks then I know I need to work on my skills. In the end it is just me sitting at my desk looking at a vast collection of kits and I get that warm fuzzy feeling deep inside. Building models makes me happy. It is as simple as that.



Just like me! Whenever someone likes it, it makes me feel better and to build more kits better than the last time. Since I found Armorama, I feel that I'm not alone. Many modelers here and all of you are great help. Thanks staff_Jim!

I just look at the models that I've finished,I feel my skill increases everytime. It's really good! I feel satisfied!

In Italy we have a proverb saying: "Chi non mi ama non mi merita" that translated means "Who doesn't love me doesn't deserves me". So my suggestion is to continue with what you're doing if you're happy and you love it. Just ignore the others and follow your own way...

All Hobbies are good - in moderation. As long as you're keeping your obligations to family and community - then there's no problem anyone else should comment upon. When a Hobby becomes all-consuming and you begin to shirk responsibilities elsewhere, then a kind nudge from a friend is a good thing.

Unless of course that all-consuming hobby is the creation of a cool web community for military scale modelers! hehe

Otherwise I agree completely.

Cheers,
