I read from a Chinese magazine the other day, the dude who wrote it must be real cynical or something, so basicly he classified four kind of modelers:

1. The Builder, People who builds a lot. He seems like this group of people, but who doesn't....

2. Collector, people who collects models more than they build.

3. Talker, People who talk alot about their models, more than they build, or collect.

4. Quiter, people start a lot of models but seldom finish one. He seems to really hate them.

This article get me wondering, what kind of modeler I am, well, I do build some, but also collect like 20 to 30 kits so far, I talk a little, and haven't yet quit on one model yet....I wish they have another category, Da 4 in 1....

Oh well, I wish you read chinese, some really colorful language he used describing type 3 and 4... LOL.

So what kind of modeler you are?

What am i...well, i guess im a fair bit of a talker on this site but the things i say i have built and done i really have, so its not like im making it up, ummm, im definetely a builder seings ive built and painted and finished over 200 kits and about 6 dioramas (there i go talking again ) so i guess im a builder and collector

Aren't we all kind a collectors? And most of us builders even, mind you!

I definately fall into category number # 1 ...... thats one of the loves in my life.

#2. I have built about 50 models and have 30something in my collection to build. I have plans to build all of these and as the boxes are opened I will consider work in progress ...Im researching looking for inspiration for them #:-)

#3. Depends on how you look at it. Theres talk and theres talk! I have 1900 posts on here concerned with modelling ...... you decide.

#4. Im proud to say I have never thrown a model away. Everything I start, I finish. Somethings might be a bit slow as interest falls, but it will be finshed. Lesser quality models, whether it be product or my ability, find their way behind or to the back of the display.

Pig 32, Sir Plastic Dude,

ya are good according to the guy wrote the thing.

Hmmm,
I'm a bit of 2 and 3 although I have finished 2 kits this year! and got some others on
the go I have too many other distractions to stay focused for long

Well , most of My modeler soul is going for number 2 option , and second part to number 1- be honest 65% - 2 and 34% - 1 and 1 % for garbage ( live , sex ...etc )

Best Regards
