2. Please don't post topics about members, other sites, or non-Armorama/KitMaker related news in this topic. That type of thing normally would go in General Modeling (if it's about modeling) or in the Junk Drawer (as off-topic).

1. If you have ever had to ask your wife for help because you either glued something to your face or fingers together.
2. You actually drove 14 hours just to go see the tanks at Aberdeen.
3. Shot 4 megs of pics at the Air Force museum in Dayton and burned copies to send to Armorama members who actually build those stupid winged things.
4. Find yourself constantly correcting television shows because "that just in not the right Ausf suchand framitz" for this time period.
And finally,
5. If your wife has ever asked you to take a model out of the master bathroom.
What do I win? I could go on all night.
