43rd it is so good that I am not alone! Once it's recognised it's easier to deal with (mostly).

A problem shared is.......well, actually doubled; despite how the idiom goes:haha: Still, it's better to laugh about it in company than to laugh alone, eh?

I really do not think so, indeed if you want to attract TROLL'S then go ahead and tell the world your problems.
I do think JACKALOPE has the right idea, by offering (at your cost)to relieve you of the problem (Tanks)
All I can say is if this is a problem then bring it on

Deffo an addiction/obsession. I build a tank and as soon as I am 50% of the way through it I am already thinking about what to do next. I keep meaning to sell some of what I currently have, I sold loads a couple of years ago, but never seem to get around to it, so they are gradually piling up on the shelf again. i try to distract myself with scenics etc, but that doesn't work for long, even revamped a Tiger that wasn't mine last week, but now that's done I am straight back into the backlog of my own models.

There is something about styrene, I just can't keep my hands off the stuff!!

Then whe you settle down to 2 tanks a month it's all plain sailing then BANG !! You relaps and realise you need a workshop then there's no way back.

Anyone ever experience the anti-climax; that deep sense of temporary emptiness, after the delivery van has arrived with the latest addition to the ever growing collection? The anticipation; the expectancy; the almost childlike naughtiness that began from the moment you clicked to pay with plastic credit, or debit.... abruptly ends. The Challenger finally arrived after eons of waiting; the Torro King Tiger lurched out of its ammo crate. But now what? ...
The Biggest buzz is over. Nice tank; works well; looks good....but, that can't be the end, can it, surely? Nah..time for an upgrade...yep, that's what to do...and the excitement of doing the 'forbidden' again creeps up on you all over again . Before you know it, another package is on its way.. That's how you end up with 20+ tanks..and no room to swing a cat ..... (hmm...no animals were actually hurt in the making of this addiction, but some may have lost their bed space). Then just as you've promised your long- suffering partner that this will be the last, you neglect to mention the Real models you've just started collecting

A chat room For a group therapy session , maybe just meeting 5 days a week to start , for those crippled with this infectious disease!!!!

A cracking idea grommet, oops Andy,
Perhaps you could bring the Airbrush And I am reworking a Panzer 4 so I could bring that and if someone would bring a Dremmel and then if someone else brings the modelling files and Plasticard we could have a proper hands on group therapy session,
Do you think the NHS would fund the venue ?
