I’m glad there are still a fair number of people that are into this sort of thing. I mostly made model cars as a kid, and it was good fun. If I had the shelf space I’d probably still do the occasional model.

I love this post!
Ive spent countless hours of my youth (and admittedly a few more recently) building model aircraft, not only of the Japanese variety but also the American Guillow’s kits, which take a bit more time because you have to actually build up the frame. Once youve put one of those together, a japanese plastic kit almost seems like cheating
Think im going to head to the hobby shop after work. Dont tell my friends!

I figured this was going to be about the dolls too. And honestly, this is a way cooler hobby than that. If only these guys — and their counterparts all over the world — could restrict themselves to plastic models of fighter planes and weapons, that would be cooler still.

At least they weren’t talking about the plastic sex dolls…
